Satisfied
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was expecting to be wowed and I was but just a little. Love Samsung products and this is certainly high quality. The price tag for its 4K capabilities and being curved is a good buy. No problems at all now after 6 months of heavy use. Satisfied with my purchase here.

Great monitor with great features, but...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I first used this monitor, I noticed that when I used a plain colored screen (most glaring in dark mode browser), there was a section on the right side that wasn't lit properly and it looked like a grid behind it. I ended up exchanging it for a new one and no problems with that one. Unfortunately, there is something about screen that bothers me but may not for others. Any time I look at a browser or something else with a scroll bar on the side, it looked as if the page was popping out past the scroll bar and gave it a weird 3D look. It most likely had something to do with the hard curve of the screen. May be fine for some people but it was hurting my eyes. The monitor has great features and I really wanted to like it but it was too much for me. Side note: the stand is actually very large and because of my desk being small and storing my laptop between my keyboard and monitor when not in use, it was not usable for me. Fine for larger desks or for ones with different laptop storage.

Q: QuestionIf I were to downscale to 1080p, is it going to look a lot worse or just slightly worse than a native 1080p monitor?
Asked by MalakEbayuser.
- A:Answer It depends on your scaling option. If you scale it 1:1 and accept the smaller screen size with black borders it will look fine. If you fill the screen with the lower resolution, it will look like crap
