4K Gaming Monitors Coming Out 2017

I've been using a 4k screen for a couple of years, but it was a Samsung TV as I wanted a larger screen and nothing in the monitor space yet existed. It was a good experience, I didn't have any issues - regardless of what people say about using TVs as monitors. However, once I noticed that OLED monitors were coming around, I considered going back. I wasn't crazy about dealing with burn-in and the odd ways manufactures try to prevent it. Instead, I wanted to see what Samsung was up to in the gaming monitor space. I came across this and was immediately drawn in because of the high fresh rate and it being 4k. I didn't consider the G8 because I didn't think the even higher refresh rate warranted the extra cost. Once I got the G7 connected, it was like playing games for the first time. Cyberpunk looked incredibly better than my 4k TV, colors popped and I could see details that I couldn't previously. The curvature is a bit odd at first, especially in Windows, but for gaming, I really like it. The high refresh rate was a new experience as well - I hadn't had anything higher than 60Hz, so again it was a new experience. This makes a big different not only in gaming, but using Windows - everything is so smooth. The height adjustment was another helpful feature as I needed it to be in a specific place. Without it, I would have had to use a box or something else unsightly. I'm not an RGB person, but found that I liked messing with the colors and do leave a solid color on most of the time. My only complaint, is the buttons to control the settings. I have some business monitors for work that are also Samsung and they use the same buttons. It's not my favorite and it feels a bit cheap. For an $1100 monitor, I'd expect a bit more, but it's not something I use often. I feel the monitor is on the expensive side, but it is worth it if you have the machine to push high end graphics to it.

I switched from 2 4K monitors to this & love it. I use the dual inputs while working and the entire screen for gaming. More space on the desktop & more immersive gamibg

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] THIS MONITOR CAME OUT IN 2017 SO IT HAS BEEN TIME TESTED. A ADJUSTABLE STAND IS A MUST FOR A MONITOR OF THIS SIZE. LED IS BETTER THAN A LCD. BUT GAVE UP THE HDR THAT OTHERS HAVE FOR THIS PRICE RANGE.

Great upgrade for my 21.5 inch iMac (2017, 4K).

Coming from a 2017 10.5 iPad Pro, this is quite an upgrade. Loving the HDR screen.

was debating between a few 4k 144hz monitors and so happy with this one!

I had a mid-2017 MacBook Pro 13 that was still in great condition (and thank you B&H/Phobio for a great recycle price!) but was coming to the end of Apple Care. I wanted to keep the touch bar (unlike the prevailing consensus I love it) and do not need the additional ports that are reportedly coming in the new MBPs this year with the M1x/M2 chips. The new keyboard is great, very good travel, the Escape key is back, but it is totally true that the performance and battery life are INCREDIBLE. Apps, especially Apple Apps like Safari, Mail, Calendar, and Music open instantaneously (one bounce on the Dock or less). I have not done any heavy-lifting like video processing or photo editing yet but this is a great machine that I expect will last me another three years. I highly recommend getting 16GB of RAM as Big Sur wants to run in 8GB of space!

coming from a 2017 126gb/8gbRAM Intel MacBook Pro, this machine is an absolute beast!

Purchasing this new MacBook Pro with the M3 Pro chip was a game changer. I'm coming from a 2017 MacBook Pro with no upgrades, so it's no surprise. When it comes to photo and video editing things work so much faster than ever before. It's hard to describe just how fast. Every time I do something that would've taken half a second on my old MacBook, I just think, buttery smooth, because the latency is just so low as to be unnoticeable for most things that I do. Also, the larger screen size is so nice and allows me to feel more organized.

I have two of these because they are that good. Out of all the top handles released for the Komodo, I keep coming back to this because it's A) Practical B)Solid and C) provides built in top rod mounts so I can mount a motor for Low profile configurations. I've used pretty much all of the available Komodo top handles and this is the only top handle I see handle a tough work environment.
