" ... I've loved using it, compared to my 1080p screen there is definitely a noticable difference that's not in my head. ... When I came back to this screen, I noticed all sorts of detail in-game that I never noticed before, it was beautiful, and then I realized "oh yeah, you've been using the 1080p TV again until recently" ... However, as impressed as I am with having higher resolution, I don't care at all about the "curved" screen. ... but really, I won't bother getting a curved screen next time, at least not if it costs any more. ...

" ... I was looking for a 4K Smart Display and found this one. ... It is relatively slim considering how thin the bezel is and the internal components are mostly located in the center of the display due to the curve. ... So, this is a feature rich display if you already have Samsung Device. ... It's a little 5 way joystick on the rear right of the display. ... But for a Smart 4K display under $800 this thing is well worth it! ... "
