Pros & Cons
Pros
- Stunning Visual Performance: The 4K Quantum Mini-LED display provides vibrant colors, high brightness, and deep blacks that many reviewers compare favorably to OLED technology, making it excellent for HDR content.
- Excellent Gaming Features: With a 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and HDMI 2.1 support, it delivers a smooth and immersive experience for both high-end PC rigs and next-gen consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
- Versatile Hybrid Functionality: It successfully bridges the gap between a high-end gaming monitor and a Smart TV, featuring built-in streaming apps, decent integrated speakers, and a convenient remote control for media consumption.
Cons
- Frustrating Software Interface: The Tizen OS is frequently described as slow, laggy, and overly complex, with users particularly annoyed by the lack of a dedicated input-switching button on the remote.
- Persistent Connectivity Bugs: Users report significant issues with the monitor failing to wake from sleep, losing signals on DisplayPort, and experiencing random flickering or artifacts that often require a hard reset.
- Noticeable Motion Artifacts: As a VA panel, it suffers from ghosting and black smearing during fast-paced scenes or when scrolling through text, and the viewing angles can cause color shifting at the edges of the large screen.

Great monitor and tv-combo
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.NeilS August 26, 2023Review source: BestbuyBest large size 4k 144hz monitor that’s not wide aspect ratio. This is essentially a gaming monitor and tv put together – so it works great to replace a tv or handle double work.
HDR is still tricky to setup with Windows and some games, looks great if the app or game is optimized.
Great value if you like to watch tv but dont want to spend additional money on a tv.I chose this because I did not want a wide rectangle or odd resolution like 5000×1400
You can have four 1920×1080 windows open on this monitor, so its amazing for working with spreadsheets

Great Option On Sale
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Moonmaster August 19, 2023Review source: BestbuyI am basing this review off of purchasing this on sale for 600 dollars. At the asking price of 999.99 I think there are better options, but I sale it’s hard to beat.
From a gaming perspective the monitor is fantastic. The slower VA panel response time has not been an issue for me in Remnant 2, D4, BG3, or a variety of other games. I do not play many competitive games so I can’t speak to that.
The colors out of the box are lacking but there is a solid YouTube video on calibration to get you started by 1 up nerdcore. Heck a guy in the comments gives a tldr on settings so you don’t have to watch the video.
Black smearing on text has not been an issue for me on dark mode or light mode. I could see it being an issue if you continuously scroll and read, but I personally don’t know anyone who does that.
I only use it with my computer so I can’t speak to reports of the monitor being buggy with multiple inputs. The monitor wakes when I startup my PC and shuts off when I put it to sleep or turn it off.
The interface seems to be a pain point for ppl but I have not found issues navigating settings. There was a firmware update that seemed to speed up responsiveness.
The HDR performance on this thing punches way above its HDR600 rating. Checking out some HDR tests online and this monitor is fantastic.
Ultimately, I think it’s a great value for 500 to 600 dollars and not many competitors for 43 inch monitors. At 1000 just look at oled if you are it concerned about burn in.Read More

Tremendous Value for the price!
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Jack August 18, 2023Review source: BestbuyPicked this up specifically for PC gaming. Only thing im dissapointed in ia that the back of the monitor looks cool, and I cant stare at the back of it too! swivel would be cool too, but the brightness, contrast, features, customization are all magnificent! It even has the LEDs on the fron of the monitor that can mimic color of the screen!

Constant issues for things that should not be
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Mcas August 17, 2023Review source: AmazonSimply put, it doesn’t work. The specs are there, when it was on, it looked incredible. The smart features are horrendous, they are slow to load, crash half the time, and are all around useless. I didn’t want a smart TV, I wanted a full featured gaming monitor, which I thought this was. If you go on Samsung’s official site page for this monitor you will see dozens of similar issues. Amazon is saying it is past my return period but I am going to try and call customer service and replace it anyway. Samsung quality has drastically fallen off over the years. I have had several of their products, TV’s, Monitors, and Appliances, all go bad well before they should have. This will be the last time I take a chance on this brand.

Provided remote does not have a way to adjust the volume
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.J. Kayser August 14, 2023Review source: AmazonThe TV itself is great. The remote is pathetic. The remote does not allow you to adjust the volume. You have to **buy** a remote program for your iPhone to be able to adjust the volume.
