Pros & Cons
Pros
- Immersive Ultrawide Experience: The 49-inch screen with a 1000R curve provides an unparalleled immersive experience for gaming and effectively replaces multi-monitor setups. Users appreciate the massive screen real estate that allows for seamless multitasking without the distraction of bezels.
- High-End Performance Specs: With a 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, the monitor delivers buttery-smooth visuals that are ideal for competitive gaming. The DQHD resolution ensures that text and graphics remain sharp, making it a powerful tool for both play and professional productivity.
- Versatile Multitasking Features: The Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-by-Picture (PBP) options are highly praised for allowing users to display multiple inputs simultaneously. This is particularly valued by traders and office workers who need to manage several applications or computers at once.
Cons
- Reliability and Power Failures: A significant number of reviewers reported the monitor suddenly dying or failing to power on after only a few months of use. Many users experienced these failures shortly after the one-year warranty expired, leading to frustrations over repairability and product longevity.
- Quality Control Issues: Many units arrived with or developed defects such as dead pixels, horizontal scan lines, and significant backlight bleed. Some customers had to go through multiple exchanges before receiving a unit that met acceptable quality standards.
- Design and Ergonomic Flaws: The included stand is noted for being extremely large and deep, consuming a significant amount of desk space. Additionally, the port placement is criticized for being difficult to access and requiring cables to be bent at awkward angles to fit.

Nausea/headache, strange design choice for ports
Peetah November 22, 2024Review source: AmazonDefinitely too large for me and gave me a queasy feeling and like I was going to develop a headache.
This could be because of the distance which was just under 2 feet from me. I feel like pushing it back to ~3ft would have been better, but I didn’t have that option.
I disliked having to turn my whole head to see the ends of the monitor and I found that I was only comfortable using maybe 2/3 of the total screen space. The picture shows two windows spaced out to about what I was actually using.
Finally, I was surprised to find the ports on the back are designed so you have to bend cords to make them fit. I definitely don’t want that kind of inconvenience and frustration in a monitor this expensive.

Monitor screen won’t turn on

I finally got it and oh do I like it.
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.TravisH November 18, 2024Review source: BestbuyJust happen to be in my local BestBuy and caught this monitor on sale for $799. I replaced my old setup that was a 32″ Samsung as my main and a 24″ monitor in portrait mode. Was worried about the limited real-estate on my desk, but the 49″ Samsung has actually allowed me to clean up my area. Very happy with the adjustability of the monitor stand and the features. Still learning what I can do with the monitor, but everything has looked amazing from work to gaming. Always wanted this monitor and glad that I was able to get it.

Great so far.
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Irvinerob November 14, 2024Review source: AmazonThink the LCD version is great although saw the OLED version the other day @ BestBuy and there is no comparison the blacks are deeper and everything pops out. The unit arrived in good condition I kept the box just if I have to move it again the bent displays are very fragile and can’t take much e little tick and they crack they are under tension I destroyed two other ones by not being careful not this type but a Dell and Samsung curved 34 inch. So tip keep the box. The screen itself generates a lot of heat the display front is hot this part worried me for longevity. Colors are accurate however when you turn your head in front of it and black parts in the corners look grey just a problem with LCD’s in general.
The high refresh rate gets easily handled by my laptop a Dell 5570 with a video card over a USB to HDMI adapter gets to 240hz my desktop also no issues with a RTX 3060 full res and refresh rate.
so far so good reading the reviews am worried about cracking but future will tell.

It's A Dead Parrot
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Big Mike November 9, 2024Review source: AmazonBought it on May 18, 2024, it popped loudly then died on November 9, 2024. HAD a beautiful picture, everything nice everybody else has already said, I was really enjoying it. Fired up the computer this morning, nothing different or changed in months, started a game that I normally play and heard a “pop” through the speakers and the monitor went black. There was no power outage, it’s on a UPS so even if so that wouldn’t affect it, everything else running fine still. Turned off all power, unplugged everything from UPS so it had zero power, let it sit unpowered for a couple of minutes, plugged all back in, fired up and the screen is black. Made sure that I repowered using the power button on the monitor, and it wasn’t having any of it. It’s a dead parrot after only, what, just shy of SIX MONTHS.
A “high quality” monitor from Samsung, a normally reliable company, shouldn’t be having issues like this so quickly. Usually when I buy Samsung it’s for life, so to speak, meaning I stop using the products when I upgrade to something else years later. It’s too late for me to refund on Amazon, however Samsung tech support offered to troubleshoot it assuming I ship it back (who keeps an original box/Styrofoam for something this monstrously big longer than a few weeks? Not I), so now the quest begins to find a huge non-standard sized box and twenty gallons of Styrofoam peanuts and do all the fun manual and time consuming work that goes into sending something huge back to a company. Fortunately they’re providing the shipping label.
If they can’t fix it I believe I’m on a one year warranty still, so hopefully they replace it.
Just less than six months on such a high quality expensive monitor. Shameful. I’m not asking for much except a working high quality item I purchased working like it should, and I’m being as reasonable as I can be. Make it right Samsung and I’ll revise this review.
NEW 12/13/2024: The Rep who said to ship it back said another Rep would get back to me with details in a couple of days. Nobody ever contacted me, and the Rep himself was very snarky and belittling as if somehow this was my fault. Need to call back again, but I’m getting the feeling that Samsung is taking a knee and running out the clock on the warranty, leaving me out over $900. This is not right, it’s not good, it’s not fair of a multi billion dollar company to rip people off like this and I’m highly upset, and to top it off, they basically put all the onus on me to find some kind of mega box to ship it back in (good luck with that folks) and then don’t send a shipping label or contact me with a follow up. NOT GOOD!
Last Update: True to form, Samsung ran out the clock on the warranty. I have a dead monitor that cost me $900 sitting in the garage, and it’s so “new” that you can’t find a power supply for it yet. See others reporting this. Lowering this to 1 star, and wish I could give a negative star. Never doing business with Samsung regarding their monitors ever again, and they clearly don’t care nor do they care about the many others reporting the same thing.
