Used only for productivity, but tested HDR streaming. This is a quality Samsung product in construction, design, and performance, with all necessary cables bundled. -sharp resolution, just-right level of curvature, and very good screen contrast/HDR -worked out of the box with my Surface Book 3 - with a single connection via USB-C for everything -(not tested)thoughtful abilities to KVM, use with 2 computers, picture in picture,etc.. -Also just plain exciting to add this bold new tech to my work setup. It takes the full width and depth of my desktop. Check your measurements. Not for shallow desktops since you need to back off from the screen Tested HDR Videos at 1440P from Youtube and was blown away by the detail, the blacks, the colors. You must turn on HDR on your laptop (1440P, HDR-ON, 60Hz). Not OLED -but close! Not tested in gaming, not tested above 60hz, bought refurbished and got lucky Now that I know how much I lovet this, I would have bought myself the pricier version, maybe even up to OLED. But as my entryway to huge 49 inch monitors and I love it!

The first time I saw an ultra-wide curved monitor on display at a big box store, I knew I would one day have one. I was fortunate enough to receive a Samsung 27" curved monitor for Christmas last year. I was blown away with the quality and beauty of the monitor. I have owned and used the 27" with pride since the day I received it. That said, it also renewed my desire to have the 49" ultra wide. As an online educator, the amount of real estate on one's desk as well as the real estate on one's monitor is paramount. This 49" ultra wide monitor has so much screen space that I can actually open three Google Chrome tabs simultaneously as though I were running three separate computer monitors. Therefore, I have so much space to work, and I can work across multiple applications simultaneously. I still have my 27" curved monitor on my computer, so it is the equivalent of having four monitors simultaneously. I can be running applications on my personal account on the 27" monitor while using the 49" for work during the day. I have put my laptop away so that it is now the equivalent of a hub device. I continue to be highly impressed with the quality of Samsung products. I am not at all disappointed in what I have available for work. My work computer and send work monitor that were provided to me have long since been set aside, and I have found a laptop and external monitors that far exceed my work expectations. Truly this monitor is a mighty beast, and I am so glad I purchased this incredible monitor!

For my use, this is a 5/5 monitor. I use this for work, not gaming. Checked all my boxes. Picture Quality: First of all, picture quality will exceed your expectations for work purposes (unless you're in graphic design, please go find an OLED), especially with HDR mode turned on. That said, it is no OLED or NEO QLED and the blacks and contrast ratio will just not be up to that standard. If that is your priority then skip right over this and go to the NEO QLED 1000R version of this monitor (that however does not have USBC hub features in it's current iteration). Which brings me to my next two points... Radius: This being a 1800R radius monitor, you cannot sit that close to it, the curvature is not high enough. If you have a very deep desk or will be mounting this back towards a wall or something, great this may be for you. You need at least an arms length between you and this screen or else you will need to be looking left and right a lot, and the viewing angle any closer will not be great and color saturation/quality will be poor because again, this is not an OLED screen and extreme viewing angles are not great. If you sit close to your screen, skip this and go to the 1000R version of this display, but just know that you will still need to look left and right (it is huge). I don't mind that cause I had to do that anyways with a multi-monitor set up but for fast paced gaming this may introduce fatigue. USB-C HUB: This was a huge factor in my purchase for this version of this monitor because I don't want a thousand plugs in my laptop - I just want to plug into my desk set up and go - and it works great as expected. You do not need dedicated graphics cards to support this - my work computer just has the Intel UHD 620 integrated graphics and it is able to support the full 5120x1440 at 60hz without any bogging down of my computer or lag and all peripherals plugged in work just fine with minimal lag. HOWEVER a couple cons to note for USB-C HUB users: -Yes it has built in speakers but they are pretty poor in the low frequency department, and actually pretty poor in general. Most macbook pros have better bass than these. However, the monitor does have the audio output plug (another plus for my set up needs) so you can plug in something nicer it will integrate over the USB-C as well. So this is not really a factor in my rating since I have external speakers plugged in but wanted you all to know that these speakers kind of suck and I bet your laptop can outperform them. -USB outlets: there are only 3 A types and another C (which I haven't tested daisy chaining yet). Depending on your needs this may not be enough which is a bummer because buying another hub would sorta defeat the whole purpose of this being a dual monitor/HUB/power all over one cable solution. That said, the space inside the back port cover is fairly large so you COULD fit one of those small UBC stick hubs in the back and expand your ports, though I can't say how much latency that will add. -The 2xHDMI and display port are inputs... such a bummer that you cannot daisy chain additional monitors to this one because that would be awesome. I don't know where you would put them because this one is so huge, but still, if I ever wanted additional monitors they would have to be plugged into my laptop or some other hub. Hopefully Samsung iterates on that. Stand: Not bad, looks good and doesn't take up too much space. The "legs" that spread out towards you are a bit long (it is a large heavy monitor) but they are also narrow in width, so they really don't take up much space. The arm in back also has a cable channel which makes everything have a nice clean organized feel. I will likely replace with a mounting arm at some point but the built in one does look nice and has a decent amount of adjust-ability. HOWEVER it does not raise that high (6inch clearance between the desk and bottom of the monitor at it's maximum height). Depending on your sitting position, it could be too low sitting directly on your desk. I am 6'1" tall and so it's a bit low, not too bad, but that is the reason I will be mounting it to an arm to increase the height. Value: This is ok value. I got mine on sale so I would say good for me, but full price it really depends on your needs. Two similar quality 27inch monitors from Samsung to replicate the same resolution and real-estate would probably run you $300 each ($600 total) then to add in a quality (not a cheap stick type) USB-C docking hub with similar ports could be anywhere between $150-$300, so you would be running around $750-$900 for a similar solution with 2 monitors and a dock. But this is one monitor (no bezels or space between like a multiscreen setup) and the integrated hub solution through a single cable to your computer really adds a lot of value and it just looks way better than two monitors - you walk into your office and see the thing and it's beautiful to look at. Plus what used to be 3 or 4 different power cables into a power strip is now just 1. It really does clean up your desk a lot and looks professional. Summary: Great productivity monitor for those who need more screen real-estate and want a USB-C hub solution and worth it when on sale. I think if I needed something with better image quality or was using for gaming I would definitely think about upgrading to the Odyssey Neo G9, but that is a pricey monitor and is really overkill if you don't have the graphics card or purpose to back up those specs. I'm already day-dreaming of buying a second one to put on top of my current one (why? I don't know but who cares because it would look awesome)

Buen monitor, cuenta con PIB/PIP, 100hz hasta en usbc, buen brillo al ser panel Va, no utiliza eliminador, no tiene bocinas, pero tiene un excelente Nitidez en texto, eso si, nula calibración de colores. Para el precio más que excelente. ACTUALIZO: YA TIENE UN PIXEL MUERTO...

There are few little things that bug me. 1- instructions are terrible, 2-the DP port not working. 3- when it goes asleep I lose internet. Otherwise it is a stunning screen and I am in love with the consept. I love the seamless transition between screens with no gap. Worth the $$

Me apena mucho devolverlo pero En la 1era foto es el video en la Mac y la segunda es el video en la pantalla, no se puede editar así tienen que ser iguales
