Fantastic Monitor.
Amazon, please read the note at the bottom of this review. I was lucky to get a fresh one straight out of the box. I have only had it a day now, and have to say this is one of the best monitors I have used. Using it with an Gefore RT2060 8gb video card, and using it on display port, the quality of the picture is fantastic, and the 144hz refresh rate makes gaming look fab. Even on non-gaming things, it looks impressive, and even just quickly jumping over to my flat monitor to write this review, the eyestrain is noticable when not using a curved screen. Considering I have astigmatism in both eyes, the curved display is awesome. I read a lot of the reviews on this, so was really worried when I ordered it, but when I opened the box, it had a dent in it, then I panicked. I rolled over the box and found it was fresh as, and the tape was factory tape, as no matter how awesome you are, getting a box repacked perfectly is not easy. I opened it, and everything was good. Downsides so far. 1: On Outer Worlds, I have noticed a bit of pixilation in the clouds, I am sure that it is a setting thing, but it is noticable. I will check this. 2: The little button to turn on the monitor is annoying as has been mentioned. The little joystick behind it is going to take some getting used to, but the menu is awesome. 3: It isn't light. Only reason I mention this, is that I have had major spinal surgery, and it wore me out setting it up. So fellow back surgery buyers, get someone to do the lifting for you. 4: Once you go curved, you don't want to go back. 5: Almost forgot. When you get this monitor, and you turn your rig on, you may lose sound as it has a speaker in there, which I don't recall reading about. Make sure before you play anything, that you are switched to your main source. I think there should be a way to disable it. Pros. 1: The clarity is nuts! N.V.T.S nuts. I so can't wait to play Mechwarrior 5 and Elder Scrolls Online with this baby. 2: The settings are fantastic, and you really do need to drop the brightness down. I have it around 75 percent, and it is definitely a lot better at that level. 3: It does a really nice flat colour option, where it is like reading paper and not a monitor. I think that will be handy for when I am writing or reviewing stuff. 4: Display port is fantastic. I didn't have to worry about HDMI as my graphics card has 3 display ports on it, so there was no option for me. The clarity as I have mentioned is just awesome. 5: The curved screen does really help. Fantastic monitor in many ways. Thanks Samsung for keeping up your quality products. I know you have hit and misses, but this is true with all companies, but unlike a lot of your competition, you are consistently good. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Amazon. Please fix your packing paper, it literally smells like used nappies. I smelt it on my arms for about an hour afterwards.

Excellent Monitors
Great panel, great value for 1440p @ 144hz. I bought mine at £248 for the first one, and £260 for the 2nd. The 3rd one will come after I've paid for Christmas! There arent many panels that do both 1440 and 144 for less than £300 - and fewer good ones for less than £400 - and when you are setting a 3x setup, getting three panels for less than £800 as opposed to over £1200 is a massive saving. Read through a good few comments here, and just a few points: 1. The power supply is bespoke - it fits into either a Euro or UK fitment (both of which are part of the SKU and both of which should be supplied). Caution if you are sourcing second hand 2. The power supply is however a fit and forget - DO NOT PLUG IT INTO THE WRONG FITMENT (as it will not come out without a chisel if someone does. Trust me on that :( -DONT BUY REFURB: I'm sure most of the comments here about the plug relate to 3rd party or refurb sales. They DO come with UK / EU plate adaptor on the smart plug if you buy it new. 3. Built in Sound - no idea how to get it working and no idea how to disable it - so occasionally, PC will want to out to it by default. I'm presuming its a DisplayPort thing. A bit of Windows device management sorts it. 4. Menu joystick/button/nipple. Fiddly at first, but you get used to it. Good menu options. easy to use. I prefer it now to buttons. 5. Curve - My first experience with a curved screen. colour me impressed. 6. Panel quality/brightness/contrast/consistency - The real tell. These are all first class. No dead pixels, very little bleed, vibrant colour, really bright screen (about 80% is plenty for me). Colour profiles are pretty good too - though I tend to just use "in your face brightness for gaming", "vivid" for watching movies and "warm" for reading/research. 7. Other stuff - They arent light. If mounting on VESA, take the mountain to Mohammed, save yourself!

High quality monitor for a good price
- Its super bright but can obviously be turned down - The high refresh rate and low response time makes it great for gaming - If you are deciding between 1080p amd 1440p let me tell you 1440p is so much better. You won't believe it until you see it. - Its curved. Who doesn't want a curved monitor like fr. The only annoying thing is that the power brick once attached to the plug can't be removed. Its only annoying if you move to a different country with your monitor you will need to buy a completely new power brick as the old one will have the plug from the previous country perminantely attached to it.

Middle of the road 1440p 144Hz Curved Display
NOTE: At the time of writing, the pictures do not match up with the product. Please google the product number for accurate information I bought 2 of these at £200. At that price, it's an absolute steal. 1440p, 144Hz Curved monitor for that price is nearly impossible. However, at it's retail price there's more to it... - The monitor makes some noise. It's most noticeable under 30% brightness (which is a shame because I prefer dim displays) - The build quality is just okay. The worst offender is the god awful stand. No movement on it at all - VESA Mounting is okay, the curved nature means longer screws are needed, but works well, especially given how light these are - Port options is nice, both DP and one HDMI doing max output, then a bonus HDMI for consoles - Display is fine. Gets fairly bright and dim, colours look good. Bit of bleed despite the VA panel, no real complaints Overall, at the current asking price of around £270, I'd urge you to consider your options. But if it happens to drop anywhere near that £200 again, it's a no brainer. Especially if you intend to use VESA mounting anyways

fantastic monitor quality is superb!...just one little niggle.
Really impressed with this monitor the picture quality is superb!. People seem to be having a problem getting 144hz Ithink I know why, as upon setup you need to connect to HDMI1 first, turn on the monitor, THEN switch the lead to HDMI2, it will not let you setup from HDMI2 first,you need to plug HDMI1 in to being with. I dont know if this is a normal thing or a glitch but its pretty easy to sort out. HDMI2 is the connection that runs at 144hz (see photo of online refresh test) . In the box you get a high quality HDMI cable probly 2 metres in length. The stand is probly one of the most solid stands ive had and although it has no adjustment, its a nice height if its directly in front of you and it also has standard holes in the back for a wall bracket or desk clamp. The only thing I was really niggled with was that my one personally (and im not sure if they are all foreign might just have been the company I chose) came from barcelona and had one of those really flimsy white UK adaptor plugs connected to the main plug, which itself is huge so I had to literally cable tie the plug into the my extension lead...that was the only thing I can say fantastic monitor recommend it highly, but might be worth double checking where yours will actually come from if you want a nomal UK plug... though its not a massive problem to correct it.

Great, Great Monitor
Bought 2 of these 27-inch ones for £199 each on lightning deal. I had been researching for replacements for my 2 iiyama and benq, both 22-inch and 1080p 60hz monitors for months without finding a perfect product that would satisfy my needs. Ultimately I had decided to wait until one of them would stop working before thinking about purchasing a new set of 2. However, I was still intrigued by the prime day that was coming up just a month away. My needs were as follows: - screen real estate: have been working with two screens for many years and was not intending to go back to one screen. Had many people recommending ultrawide 21:9, 3440x1440p monitors for the versatility but the comfort of two separate screens is unbeatable in my opinion. Fast and easy placement of windows and the ability to snap them around with ease is something I can't trade even for a larger, more immersive monitor - I don't mind the "line" in the middle that usually people complain about. - good quality panels: i wanted something I can stare at for hours on end and having had issues with my old monitors I knew the new monitors had to be comfortable, such as IPS or VA, no TN. - 1440p resolution: the actual recommendation I followed was to consider a more resoluted display, easier on the eyes and with better defined text. - 100+hz refresh rate. Had the chance to try out a 85hz overclocked monitor and I could notice the difference immediately; it somehow made it more forgiving on my eyes and decided it to make it a staple feature. What i need the monitors for: - work: fullscreen apps with lots of charts and moving numbers as well as excel, so a lot of data has to fit into a window/screen and potentially having the ability to strech across the two monitors if required. - study: my girlfriend is about to undertake her studies and wanted her to have multiple pdfs, webpages and document open at the same time for quick reference and usage. - some gaming on evenings with friends, mainly fast fps/rts games. Why I picked the 27inch LC27JG5 monitors and my experience so far: - 27inch and 1440p with good panel: switching from 22 to 27 is night and day, and the 1440p resolution makes it even more defined (higher ppi) than my old monitors. The contrast of the monitors in incredible with the darkest blacks I have ever seen. The eye saver mode was supposedly good and turned out to be great on these long days at the PC. - 144hz: an incredible feature for the price and to be honest I could see the difference right away. Everything is so smooth and so responsive. Very easy on the eyes (so if you have dry/sensitive eyes from screens then this model is for you). Gaming is superb on this (provided that you have some kind of a powerful pc) and the refresh rate really helps. No gsync or freesync available if that's what you're after. My nvidia GTX1060 handles any games with high fps and no problems. - curved monitor: was not on my list of requirements but decided to give it a go because frankly it was just on top of an already good spec list for my needs. - price price price: £286 (price at the time of this review) is already a good deal for this monitor but with the prime day sales coming up i decided to see if it would have gone lower and it did. A steal for £199. Preference of this monitor over other ones: - compared to ultrawides: if you want an immersive gaming experience then the ultrawide is for you. Technology is not quite there yet for the 144hz ultrawide monitors (or are very, very expensive) but anything above 60hz is an improvement. For ANY OTHER USAGE that I could think of, ultrawide was useless for me besides bragging rights (in my opinion). - compared to single monitor, same size and resolution: if you do any kind of multitasking work or just want to see two full size windows side by side then dual monitors like my setup is the way to go. Your productivity will increase (if not double) and it will be worth it. One monitor is easy on the PC but with a Nvidia GTX1060 I am able to run any app and game I want with ease with high FPS (reducing the details on newer games); - compared to smaller monitors, any resolution and amount: larger screens are better. If you are thinking you might need them, you'll find them useful. This model in particular is great. - curved vs non-curved: didn't really notice the difference but once back to a flat monitor I could feel it. It's a more immersive experience. Recommend the curve. PRO/CONS: Pros: +nice colours (VA panel), 1440p, 144hz monitor +ability to change settings (a lot) to fit your needs +VERY easy on the eyes. +PRICE, worth the money +smart appearance, thin bezels for a multi monitor setup. Con: -many complain of light bleeding and there is a limited amount -might require some color tuning to fit your needs Neutral: ~curved ~can't rotate the monitor, stand is fixed: use a wall/arm mount or similar. ~not many expert reviews ~make sure you have the physical space to fit them in your desk, you never know CONCLUSION Great monitor. Recommended. Great price and service, prompt delivery as per usual and peace of mind of returning them if some funny things or dead pixels appear. 144hz is really an improvement, as the size and resolution: less pixels would make the screen fuzzy and hard to use in my opinion. Beware that if you will use the stand you will not be able to tilt the screens, you'll have to move yourself. The little extra that you pay is well spent on a monitor you won't get tired to look at and with good features.

Poor quality control?
The monitor itself is pretty good, black levels are great colours are good and the overall picture quality is crisp. There was a small amount of light bleed in each corner of my panel when used at just under half brightness wtich is fine. Felt pretty snappy when gaming I could not notice any delay or input lag and that's good. The bad thing is that my one arrived, faulty and I was unable to get a replacement even though it is still in stock wtich wtich ain't good. The monitor came with scratches on screen and about half the time Ipl made application or video fullscreen the screen would just turn gray and this was both displayport and HDMI. I suspect that my item could of been a previous return of some kind or was damaged in the factory or wherehouse because the box showed no signs of damage to it. If item was working properly or I could of got working replacement I would of been happy instead I am going to have to refund it and pay atleast £60 £70 more to get replacement because I bought it on sale so that kinda sucks.

Decent priced monitor but with too many flaws
What tempted me to purchase this monitor was the high specification of a QHD display, 144mhz and curved screen. However, I was left extremely disappointed with the quality of this monitor all round. I had to return the first one I received as the top of the frame came away from the monitor and the back-light was shining through the gap. Secondly the right side of the screen whites were showing as a pale yellow and the fonts just didn't appear right to me. There was too much glare making the fonts difficult to read. This is despite spending ample time calibrating the picture and trying out numerous modes and settings. This is a VA panel and unfortunately you do get the usual frustrations with these panels but having said that, I did expect better. I do appreciate Samsung's thinking here. I guess they tried to offer a competitive sub £300 model with all the features that you would normally expect to see on more expensive monitors but for me it simplify didn't cut the mustard. They just tried to cram in so many features at the expense of the quality for both build and panel type. £300 is a still considerable amount of cash to pay for a monitor and there are better out there than this particular one.

100% top
Probabilmente il formato 1440p a 144 Hz è il migliore. Più definito dei 1080p, ma con una frequenza che dà una fluidità dell’immagine che i 4K, oggi com’è oggi, si sognano. Per dire, dopo aver provato i 144 Hz qualsiasi altra cosa sembra andare a scatti. Schermo veramente ottimo con queste caratteristiche, nessun difetto riscontrato. A un prezzo a cui i concorrenti non si avvicinano minimamente. Suggerito, ricomprerei.

Absolutely Fantastic: Immersive (Curvy), Fast (144Hz) and a steal at this price!
I have had a Benq GW2760, 1080p for a while now. It was time to get the one thing missing with my ryzen5 rtx2070 pc: the best display. And this indeed is. Samsung is an obvious choice for displays. But regardless. The designs is stunning. Colors may not be entirely accurate but this is a VA panel. Real top peformer. 144hz is just fast. 1440p is the gaming sweet spot. Also 4k with higher than 60Hz is a real expensive feat. Also, curved is very, very immersive. It's sharp enough with 91dpi. And VA has great blacks for deeper experience. Comes with VESA so works perfectly with my mounting arm. Construction is solid. Bezels are thin enough... Not the absolute, but quite there. The look is real modern and cutting edge... Easily lets you forget the boundaries are there at the edge. I didn't find this monitor at this price anywhere in the world. Everywhere else, if it was even a available, it was much, much more expensive. For gaming, entertainment and even work to an extent, I absolutely recommend this, and more so, from this seller. I'm seeing things I didn't before with this thanks to the immersion and the general quality of the display. Absolute steal for me and a much missing factor. I can now forget my 27 inch 1080p IPS. Honestly I don't even care anymore. The viewing angles aren't really as compromising as I was initially led to believe. Mostly one would be using it straight ahead their face so nothing is missing.

Best product for this price tag
I got this monitor ~6 months back. So far, it's perfect screen for my daily use. I'm a software engineer and I'm spending ~14 hours/day behind the screen. I really need no other monitors as it's big enough to open 3 windows side by side. I'll not discuss technical specs as the screen is great for anyone looking for a great product for such price tag.
