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.

Not for everyone
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Jacob August 12, 2023Review source: AmazonNot for me. I mean it’s a good monitor if you can get a good deal for it. I managed to grab it for $499. But it’s eh. My 55 inch 4k 120hz hisense tv which I got for $459 is better quality. The smart TV side of this is pretty impressive, but I’m here for its performance. It performance well, but not so well for pc gaming. Keep in mind the monitor is white so it does destroy the wall as well as the monitor if you are not careful. This monitor make sense for if still gaming in a small dorm in college. This totally ain’t for me.

"Decent Monitor with Some Annoyances for PS5 Users
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.XiC1 August 11, 2023Review source: BestbuyIn general, I appreciate the monitor, though it does have a few drawbacks. I use it exclusively for my PS5, and I’ve noticed that it boots up the PS5 every time I turn on the monitor to watch YouTube or Netflix, which is inconvenient. Similarly, when I finish playing on the PS5 and set it to reset mode, pressing the circle button on the monitor’s controller wakes up the PS5, which can be bothersome. Furthermore, when playing FIFA 23, there’s noticeable ghosting. Despite these issues, it’s a satisfactory monitor overall.

Got this on sale and it was so worth it.
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.KenB August 11, 2023Review source: BestbuyGreat monitor for what I use it for. I’m certainly not a gaming snub by any means, so all the technical jargon doesn’t mean much to me. I game and he monitor looks amazing from my end, Little bit of bleeding light around the corners but I think that is the nature of the pre-set setting

Excellent Monitor for Productivity and Gaming
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Maximus August 10, 2023Review source: BestbuyI purchased this monitor through Best Buy during Amazon Prime Day and I got it for a steal at $499. Actually, I had a $100 gift card that I used as well which brought the price to $399. A 43″ Mini-LED Monitor at $399 is a STEAL!!! I wanted a non-OLED monitor for fear of burn-in and this monitor does not disappoint. It meets all my needs for gaming and productivity. Sure, it’s not the best monitor in the world and it’s really a TV in disguise, but at the price that I paid, I’m all SMILES!!!
If you want to pay more to get more, you can certainly do so, but I’ll take this monitor any day at $499. It’s still worth it if you pay a bit more. Just know that it’s not OLED, but it ticks all the boxes for my needs. I’m not an Audio/Video guru, but I do like to make educated purchases by reading reviews and watching YouTube videos.
Some folks may be turned off by the fact that it’s a Smart TV, but it works for me. The remote doesn’t have an input button, but it’s intuitive to change device input from the home screen. I’ve only had the monitor for about a month and I absolutely love it. The colors are bright despite the 400 max nits with 600 nits peak for HDR. I have my brightness set to 15 out of 50 and it’s plenty bright; even in well lit rooms.
The text clarity is fine and clear considering the subpixel layout. I sit about 3 feet away and I can read everything clearly. I believe there are options to make text even better, but I haven’t explored those options yet since it looks fine to me. There’s about 2.5″ of clearance from my desk to the monitor’s bottom edge that allows me to slide a TCL soundbar underneath.
If you can get this monitor for $499, then it will be the best 43″ monitor for the price. My only hope is that the monitor will stand the test of time. If I can get 7+ years out of it, then I’ll be happy to buy another Samsung monitor in the future, unless I see something better. So I encourage anyone looking for a nice monitor to check out the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7. You’ll be glad you did! Just buy it on sale if you can.Read More

Great for productivity, not as great for gaming
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.JM15 August 9, 2023Review source: AmazonFirst off, I use this 95% of the time for work. I make a lot of PowerPoints, Excel spreadsheets, and other normal office work computer stuff. I upgraded from a 24 inch 1080p display and got this thing on sale for $500 and it has been worth it in my opinion.
I usually have four programs snapped to all four corners of the display and each one is large enough (125% zoom in display settings) that I can see everything from about 4 feet away. The pixels per inch is actually higher than my old monitor, so it actually still looks better to me than the smaller screen.
Blacks get deep (not OLED deep, but better than most) but there is some blooming.
Settings were a little confusing, but I was able to get it looking how I wanted with 10 minutes of fiddling.
I had no problems with it auto-waking when I move my mouse or hit a key when my computer has gone to sleep.
I haven’t done a lot of gaming on it, but there is some ghosting (again, I’m comparing to my OLED TV) but I don’t think I would’ve noticed if I wasn’t looking for it on the “faster” response time setting. Colors are great and contrast is good for a non-OLED.
Anyway, I’m happy with it and it works really well for productivity with no worry about burn-in or text clarity.

Not worth your time and money
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.user478292 August 8, 2023Review source: BestbuyOn original set up failed to work with the remote control. This made the setup take over 30 minutes to finish. After that was done had to hard restart the monitor to get it working properly. On restart it went to static on the screen and did a soft restart.
Had to charge the remote fully and hard reset the monitor for the remote to start working properly with inputs.
The monitor is slow to respond on wake up. Taking 7-8 seconds to start up. So if I moved my mouse to wake up the computer. The monitor would start a 1 minute timer and say there was no signal from the display port. To fix this loop would have to hard restart my computer with it’s power button.
To fix this issue had to turn on the monitor with the remote first. If not was restarting the computer.
Ran in to lag issues with the wifi connection on the monitor when trying to use the smart TV issues. Not all playback issues where resolved using an either net cord.
Also got the static screen and soft reset if I was switching through apps to quickly.
When using the screen was not able to set up a great picture in picture mode. When splitting window applications on the screen ran in to sizing issues when coming back from a wake up as the monitor would default back to 300% when it had been lowered already.
I was not able to get HDR playback from games with that enabled in the game settings and monitor settings.
USB hub worked good.Had to return this Monitor as I was having issues daily.Read More
