" ... I got this back in 2017 it works great as a secondary monitor, and its input change (if you have more then one computer or other video source hooked up to it) works better with its auto detection for a switch then the many other monitored I have used (having to manually switch sources between them or tell the monitor what input to use). ...

" ... This monitor has a higher resolution. ... I am going to have to set the monitor to a lower than native resolution(leading me to question why did I buy a 4k monitor.). ... "
" ... I only gave it 4 stars simply because you'll need a really high-end video card to power 4k to the max. ... "

" ... There are sponsored ads on the menu of this TV you can not get rid of. ... The TV settings randomly reset to enable AutoMotion and Warm color settings. ... This is obviously a Samsung issue because it affects both Prime and Netflix, I would suspect it's a caching issue related to the TV's crappy code that does not properly clean up previously watched data. ...

" ... What is this dongle thing coming out of the TV that I'm supposed to plug my devices into? ... Why aren't there just ports on the bottom or side like everyone else? ... The joke is that you can't even plug in several devices to it, even though it has several plugs. ... "

" ... This mean that if you mount it to a monitor arm, even if it is extended to full height you only get about 1" of clearance on the bottom between the monitor and the desk. ... As far as I can tell there is just no option to mount this properly. ... "
" ... But there is one fatal flaw for me, the monitor's VESA mount is at top of the monitor, I only discovered this about a year ago when I needed more deskspace and started to need monitor mounts. ... I bought a 4 monitor mount for work that is for up to 32in monitors (3 on the lower 1 up top), and because of the design of this monitor I am unable to mount it on top as it would clash with the center bottom, and at the sides I had to move the bottom row up so high because this monitor went so low that I am unable to use the top mount now. ... "
" ... The only monitor mounts are at the top of the monitor making it very hard to use desk mounts. ... "
