I recently purchased this and have been absolutely thrilled with the experience. As someone who isn't very tech-savvy, I would like to share a few tips for those who might be in the same boat.First Impressions:Okay, so the box and the setup and operations instructions were questionable. I guess this must have come from a third-party seller because Samsung could NEVER. However, out of the box, the monitor is a beauty. The screen is expansive, and the design is sleek and modern. It's perfect for my home office setup, surrounded by my plants and cozy decor. The ultrawide aspect ratio is a game-changer for productivity and gaming alike.Resolution Setup:Initially, I struggled to get the monitor to display its maximum resolution of 3440 x 1440. After some research and a bit of trial and error, I discovered that the secret lies in using a USB-C connection. If you’re like me and not too familiar with these things, here’s a simple guide:Check Your Cables: The monitor comes with an assortment of cables, including HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C. Make sure you're using the USB-C cable that supports video output. Not all USB-C cables are created equal, and some only support charging.Right Cable Choice: After downloading various programs to change my resolution and having no luck, I realized the provided USB-C cable (often referred to as a "lightning cable") was actually the fix. Switching to this cable instantly solved my resolution issues.Update Drivers: Ensure your graphics card drivers are up to date. This can often solve resolution issues.Adjust Settings: Go to your computer’s display settings. Under “Display Resolution,” select 3440 x 1440. If this option isn’t available, reconnect your USB-C cable and restart your computer.Performance:Once I got the resolution sorted, the display was breathtaking. The colors are vibrant, and the extra screen real estate makes multitasking a breeze. For gaming, the high resolution and refresh rate provide an immersive experience. I’ve also found it fantastic for video editing and other creative tasks, where the detailed visuals make a significant difference.Extra Features:The monitor comes with a few extras that are worth mentioning. The built-in blue light filter is excellent for long work sessions, and the customizable settings allow you to tweak the display to your liking.Conclusion:Overall, I highly recommend this monitor. It’s a fantastic investment for anyone looking to enhance their workspace or gaming setup. If you’re struggling with getting the correct resolution, remember to use the USB-C cable that comes with the monitor and keep your drivers updated. This monitor is worth every penny, and the setup is a minor hurdle for the massive benefits it provides.

Went from five screens to one and got rid of all the unnecessary wires than purchased underdeck surge protector holder to hold the plugs and few wires and it looks so clean and streamlined. Complete office makeover! The picture is amazing and the Thunderbolt is tops for connecting a Surface laptop or Ipad. Buy this one Great Deal for twice the price. Thank you Amazon!!

Update to my other two reviews. This monitor made a pop sound and the screen has several one inch lines covering 40% from top to bottom. I should have not had the first one replaced and bought something else. This family is done with anything Samsung. Just a horrible quality company. I'm rather upset at not listening to myself on how poor they are as a company.*** 2nd review starts here ***I decided to not take my advice and ordered another one while my return from the first is still being processed.New screen, no green stuck or dead pixels yet. The boxes this ticked for the price made me decide on this a second time. I almost purchased another LG but the PIP in this is nicer. I'll update this review as time goes on. Oh and don't buy it for the speakers:)*** original review below ***My luck with Samsung monitors / tvs over the years has been unfortunate. I decided to give them another attempt but again quality is not there.Bright Green stuck pixels right in the center of the screen.LikesThe OSD isn't badLooks good in off-whiteCurve is a good ratioDislikesSpeakers are horrible.Green pixelsI do not recommend this product.

Freshly opened box and plugged into main PC setup. I use it mostly for work and having the ability to display multiple PC desktops at once, but do play some video games with it from time to time. Here are my pros and cons, followed by a summary review:Cons:It no longer has that luxurious polished aluminum look around the display and stand, giving it a cheaper white-plastic look in general.Pros:That base, omg, its such a HUGE improvement! Its heavy, sturdy, and doesn't require any screws; everything is now snap-into-place, very nice improvement! The base/stand now allows for rotation left/right, tilt forward/back, and elevates up/down. This is a big improvement to the previous model that only allowed for a single movement of up/down which also changed the tilt at the same time. Not independently. I also like the cord management layout in the rear, allowing for a more open feel compared to the previous model which had a rectangle slot that you were supposed to cover back up with a cover after plugging in, but never used because it wasn't great for DP fit.Overall:I'm really happy with my new monitor, despite being exactly the same monitor, just with a FAR superior stand, and slightly upgraded components, e.g. TB4 vs TB3, and including HDR10. It also came with a variety of video cords, including a new TB4 cord, which is always nice. (Didn't come with DP but that's fine).

I only use this monitor for work (no gaming), but it has exceeded my expectations.Pros: Resolution and pixel quality is great, color is vivid. It was easy to setup and isn’t too heavy, despite its size. It feels sturdy yet sleek, and I love the white base. Monitor is easily adjustable up and down, side to side, and face orientation.Cons: sound quality is slightly lacking. The sound is a little echo-y, and volume control is not intuitive and a little annoying. I will probably go back to using my laptop speakers. It was also a little disorienting when I first started using it. I’m used to smaller, flat monitors, and switching across screens with the curves left me with a little vertigo. It took probably 15 minutes to get used to, and know I find it difficult to go back to my laptop screen!
