" ... So I settled on this monitor for my main gaming display and boy is it amazing. ... The quantum dot tech is not a gimmick, the I have never had a monitor with zero backlight bleed . ... "
" ... It's an absolutely beautiful monitor and I'll probably never go back to 16:9 after this. ... Highly recommend this display. ... "
" ... This was my first hidpi monitor, and seeing a smooth image, rather than pixels is nice! ... The flicker free led backlight is another good feature. ... "
" ... The brightness is excellent, and blacks are nice and black. ... "
" ... Love this thing, went from a 24" 1080p 60hz display, and must say this thing is great. ... "
" ... They are nearly impossible to see on anything other than a light screen, but they are there. ... "
" ... The thin bezel looks great, nothing to get in the way of enjoying this superb monitor. ... "
" ... No dead pixels either. ... "

" ... The blacks are BLACK, they are deep and colors are rich but not over saturated (also accurate). ... Amazing blacks and rich color ... No color banding or distortion what so ever ... "
" ... I will gladly give up the hyper accurate colors and no ghosting on my IPS Dell u3415 for the deep blacks and ZERO backlight bleed of this VA panel. ... I get that color accuracy is important for content creation, but for gaming the colors here are accurate enough and very vivid and the "ghosting" that some complain about is almost indistinguishable. ... "
" ... Accurate color, good brightness, pretty even, and not much bleed through. ... "
" ... The brightness is excellent, and blacks are nice and black. ... "
" ... Wonderful color reproduction, calibrated from factory and was very very close to personal calibration. ... "
" ... The colors look washed out as well. ... "
" ... It comes color calibrated out of the box. ... "
" ... The colors look great and the text looks good after cranking the text scaling setting up to 200%. ... "

" ... However, I can live with that as I bought this monitor for gaming, not color intensive work. ... "
" ... For the last year, I've been using the Dell U3415w which really got me hooked on ultrawide for gaming. ... "
" ... I can't say about gaming performance, as I'm not a gamer. ... "
" ... A great immersive screen that is excellent for both work and gaming. ... "
" ... really feels like the way the game was meant to be played (next to VR). ... "
" ... Gaming on this monitor is a true joy. ... "
" ... Im using the monitor mostly photo editing and light gaming. ... Overwatch looks amaizing in 21:9 aspect ratio. ... "
" ... AMD FreeSync and the 100 MHz refresh rate significantly help make the games run smoother. ... Various benchmarks of games running at 3440x1440 resolution: ... BF1 high settings - 52-60 FPS (very smooth gameplay) ... BF1 medium settings - 72-80 FPS ... "

" ... This was my first hidpi monitor, and seeing a smooth image, rather than pixels is nice! ... "
" ... I've included a picture of the monitor displaying a solid white background so you can see for yourself. ... The color swatches were picked directly from the image in PhotoShop. ... "
" ... Not a single dead pixel (i'd send it back if so) and I find the picture quality to be impeccable right out of the box. ... "
" ... The monitor is hands down the highest quality 3440x1440 image there is. ... I use the ultimate engine (freesync from 40-100fps) theres a standard engine (80-100fps), these are in monitor modes that dont affect picture quality but just how FreeSync operates. ... Its not the end of the world and the panel image quality makes up for any imperfections. ... It can only be seen if you put a solid grey image at full screen (how you look for pixel defects). ... Allround great monitor with drop dead beautiful image reproduction. ... "
" ... In one photo, where I am taking the picture from a top angle, the "dead pixels" are above the excel line and in the other photo where I take the picture from a bottom angle, the "dead pixels" move above the excel line. ... "
" ... Picture is something special with a bit of tweaking. ... "
" ... Clear crisp picture. ... "
" ... • Amazing screen for video and photographs ... The Samsung is a VA (Vertical Aligned) monitor vs the Dell, which is an IPS (In-Plane Switching) thus held the image noticeably better than an angle which may or may not be important to you. ... VA monitors typically provide better 'blacks' and better images in darker environments. ... • Not so much a con but I have to say that, for the price, the image quality was not noticeably better than my Dell. ...

" ... The thin bezel looks great, nothing to get in the way of enjoying this superb monitor. ... "
" ... Its design is beautiful and simple, the colors are wonderful, and the price is reasonable enough for a display with this size and specs. ... I hope Samsung works this out in the future because I really like their simple, elegant styling much better than the overly aggressive design style of so many others. ... "
" ... I highly recommend having it calibrated because of the gamut so websites and things will look correct. ... Just so beautiful. ... "
" ... It doesn't do the OLED perfect black, but it's close enough for rock n' roll. ... "
" ... -Minimalist design look and solid hardware build feel. ... "
" ... Sitting in front of it, I don’t notice any color shifting from side to side, but my wife, who sits next to me at her own computer, has mentioned that the closer edge of the monitor looks very washed out to her when she looks over at it. ... "
" ... The appearance, fit and finish of this monitor is also a top notch and I am very picky person. ... "
" ... The build of the monitor is beautiful, absolutely gorgeous. ... "
