The first thing I noticed when I collected this monitor was just how huge the box was, and upon opening it I was completely taken back by the size of it, it is huge, however this is not a bad thing. Once it's all plugged in and powered on it really does strike you just how amazing this monitor is. When it comes to gaming, it means that you have the most immersive experience possible, with the 1,800R screen curvature most of your field of view is taken up by the screen. With the 5120x1440 resolution the 4ms response time the 120hz refresh rate the 1,000 nits peak brightness and HDR it truly is a no compromises monitor. I can't imagine any game looking any better on any other monitor. When it comes to productivity you can have at least 5 tabs open at once and still be able to read everything clearly without having to zoom in, which makes writing papers or programming a dream. When first ordering this monitor I was worried the size of it would mean that it wouldn't be as sturdy or well-made as some smaller monitors, but the build quality of this monitor is incredible from the very sturdy metal stand to the rigid plastic surrounding the screen. There isn’t a single part of this monitor that feels cheap or flimsy. The only negative things I could find to say about this monitor is the HDR being a bit hit or miss depending on the game, due to the limited lighting regions, and blue light on the back on the monitor being redundant most of the time and annoying when watching a movie in the dark, however as a whole this monitor is incredible so 5 stars.  

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I moved from one Samsung monitor to another and another. Had my eyes set on this one since the day it was announced. Countless videos and reviews over which brand had the best monitor for gaming and everything under the sun. Then it won the awards and I knew I had to have it. Saved every penny and then got a hold of one. From the moment it got turned on I was hooked!!!! Best display, amazing colors and the audio is immaculate.this monitor will last me about 3-5 years and then I'll buy the next level of this lineup.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a big monitor, but boy does it spoil you. Gaming is immersive and the extra resolution makes it great for creative work. Top PC games come alive on a display that fills your senses. Hooked up to my gaming Pc, it runs at full 5120 x 1440 and the 120 hz refresh rate makes the whole game silky smooth and responsive. While in theory, you're looking at the space that two 27" monitors would give you, the single unified pane of glass makes it feel like so much more space. Switch to your 'business mode' and you have a huge canvas to arrange your work on. For video work, the width makes editing a joy, for development work boy will you love the ability to see entire projects on one screen. Hooking up a laptop made it wonderful work experience. The Picture-in-picture mode even allows you to hook up two machines and split the display between them. Just remember not to get too distracted by gaming!

In Summary, this is an amazing display that will completely spoil you from ever going back to something smaller. Predictably wonderful for gaming, but also great to creative work. Recommended.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this monitor for both gaming and productivity for a home mini pc computer with XBox game console. Has worked out great. The smart monitor part allows me to watch streaming content including the channels from Samsung TV Plus. Have had this monitor for almost a year without any issues.

For years I've worked with photo and video, using two 27 monitors side by side, with 2 separate screen set up on the computer. Frustrated by the massive bezel gap in between them I was keen to try this monitor out. That keeness has transformed into absolute delight and I'll be an ultrawide 32:9 evangelist for life! This monitor is astonishing, super sharp, great at 120Hz (flicker free and easy on the eyes). Picture quality and colour accuracy was amazing, and I'm sure it's an epic gaming monitor but it's the sheer joy of the working experience while editing video that has me absolutely hooked. Having an editing timeline that stretches 2/3 of the width of my screen, having tabs and windows open just as I need them, the 3 window wide split screen for apps all superb. The picture in picture mode is also amazing as I can plug in my macbook pro into one input and my PC into the other and have both on screen at the same time. The ultimate in productivity! Honestly I could go on and on. I don't think I'll ever go back to a boring 16:9 monitor again. As I said in the title, if you are a photographer or filmmaker... then what are you waiting for? Buy this monitor, you will NOT regret it.

I was using three Apple Cinema displays. I missed the glossy screen initially but I got used to it quickly. Not having bezels is a much better experience than three monitors. Love it. Will be getting this for our finance director and asst finance director. Really great monitor. Nothing bad to say.

What an awesome piece of kit this monitor is. I spend 8 hours a day for work in front of my monitor for work and then a couple of hours for gaming. This monitor handles both with ease and has made my work life so much easier. Excellent resolution, brightness and color range means I can do my design work with such accuracy and professionalism. The width and ability to split my display also means multi-tasking is so simple. All in all a great monitor and would recommend to anyone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Clarity, Performance and Visually appealing. This monitor has not disappointed. Great for gaming but I mostly use it for work. Eliminates having to use multiple monitors and I see everything in front of me and reduces amount of mouse scrolls.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hello I bought curved monitor for my husband and he really likes. He said it’s amazing. Quality of monitor is the best.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's incredible!!

Every game I have run on it looks crazy! Doom at 5120x1440@120 will make your eyes pop out!! The combination of the 32:9 aspect ratio, high frame rate and HDR makes playing on this thing like nothing else I have seen. I can see enemies on screen that other people can't.

The curve is 1800R, more curved than a TV. You sit so much closer to it that it has to be more aggressive. Once you are sat in front of it you don't really notice the curve but you do notice how much more comfortable it is on your eyes.

I have an RTX 2080ti in my PC. I think if you want to game on one of these an RTX 2080 is the minimum. It being so large and sitting so close to it means that any drop in settings you do, to get framerate up, ends up looking muddy, you're kind of defeating the point of having it. If you get one, be prepared to have an irresistible urge to buy a stupidly expensive video card.

With nVidia enabling G-Sync on Freesync monitor you get full VBR on AMD and nVidia cards. It works great.

I use multi-monitor setups so this monitor has meant that I can now run my desktop on one monitor yet have more screen estate than before. It's amazing how more productive you can be with a 5120 x 1440 desktop.

Games in HDR look great but the real star is Netflix. I found that Netflix didn't show me HDR content until I installed "HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer" from the Windows store.

I'm blown away by this monitor, if your on the fence about getting one and have the room, buy it.
