Reviews around price (4.66 of 5)

  • The "worst" of the reviews claimed delta e of 2.0, which is indistinguishable to the eye (though the IPS they compared it to was 0.4).
  • They fit my purpose well and the price on Amazon was unbeatable
  • This is a good "intermediate" monitor at a good price point
  • I can't speak to its longevity, yet, but so far I really dig this screen and at a good price, too.
  • $579.00 (including prime shipping) was a good price while it lasted on Amazon.

Reviews around resolution (4.65 of 5)

  • This monitor offers the perfect resolution, in my opinion
  • I don't think this is the monitor's fault; it is more like some HDMI outputs don't support the 2.5k resolution.
  • The resolution is great, the screen is large and the colors are true.
  • This is a perfect resolution for a work monitor, This has the same ppi as a 1080p 24 in monitor
  • Resolution is perfect for me and I use it with external speakers

Reviews around picture (4.38 of 5)

  • and I have to say the picture and quality is fantastic.
  • These monitors are HUGE and have the great Samsung picture.
  • this time it has a nice set of physical scratches on the monitor and now the picture is also messed up with green lines like the matrix going up and down the screen
  • The picture is great and you can multitask like a two monitor setup.

Reviews around color (4.31 of 5)

  • Overall, the monitor is bright, good color, is huge, looks great, and I was using it within 10 minutes of opening the box
  • settings.)The 50/50/50 it arrives with is fairly perfect; You would have to be trying to mess up this color.
  • and that is what improves the saturated color; it was the 100% bright and "cool" color mode in Dynamic Contrast that I did not like, so I only used the gamma 3 in my custom settings, with 100% contrast, much lower bright and set colors at varying levels all around
  • Also I needed a monitor that has great color reproduction, and boy does this monitor delivers and more
  • Color is great and very neutral and the picture quality is brilliant.

Reviews around size (4.24 of 5)

  • Perfect size for desktop too, not sure I'd be as happy with a larger screen.
  • The "worst" of the reviews claimed delta e of 2.0, which is indistinguishable to the eye (though the IPS they compared it to was 0.4).
  • It is so easy on the eyes; it's the perfect size and resolution for working with a lot of text (code).
  • the size seemed rather overwhelming, but very quickly I got used to this new size and 2 months later I can't imagine I would go back to smaller resolution
  • I was a little hesitant about sitting in front of a 32" screen but the size is perfect.

Reviews around product (3.94 of 5)

  • Samsung always puts out a good product and this one is perfect for the price!
  • They referred me to Samsung, who are basically worthless, I will NEVER buy another Samsung product and I would not recommend this seller...
  • The product is great, but unless you never have a problem again, you will feel my pain
  • I guess Samsung makes it hard for their customer to send back the defective product.
  • From my experience, Samsung makes good products, so I don't anticipate any issues

Reviews around quality (3.88 of 5)

  • All that said, this is the nicest, highest quality monitor I've ever had or even seen
  • The new display had appropriate screen protection in the box, with *fewer* scratches on the base and housing, however I was surprised to see that this unit still suffered from the poor quality control of the previous one
  • CONRecommended resolution- the best resolution for the monitor render icon on the desktop and document way too small to readPicture- any video under 600wh frame is in poor quality, especially AVI format.
  • After using retina screens the Samsung quality is blurry to my eyes but for most people this will be a fantastic upgrade
  • If you spend hours a day staring at a screen like I do, you owe it to yourself to get a high quality monitor like this one.

Reviews around display (3.71 of 5)

  • Both monitors render images clear and crisp and either would be great for photo or other graphical work."Despite the high 4K resolution, the display is incredibly grainy
  • The colors are vibrant and the display is bright (almost too much so in the beginning)
  • Sadly, I've decided to return this monitor and replace it with another, as while it's a good display, it wasn't what I was hoping for
  • If you are thinking about buying this for a PC with a lesser quality video card, you may be more pleased buying a smaller cheaper display (the 27

Reviews around screen (3.35 of 5)

  • The split screen is to use 2 computers with one monitor, each using half
  • (so I don't have a VERY bright white screen blinding me)
  • So, that leads to another question--why would Samsung only allow one computer per monitor to be allowed to use the split screen?
  • then lay the monitor screen down on the towel then assemble the base it works better.
  • But again: The screen itself is really good, I would STILL buy it again.

Reviews around star (2.32 of 5)

  • I downgraded one star because the unit I received appeared to have been opened and returned to Amazon, and was missing the power cable
  • I love this monitor but I subtracted two stars for the hum it generates and the fact it only works super well plugged into the Display Port.
  • I wasn't using the supplied HDMI cable since my video card only had a mini-HDMI port).So use the supplied cables!The only reason I knocked off one star from my rating was due to the number of steps and effort needed to change monitor options via the front panel buttons
  • The stand is absolutely gorgeous, and is as much of a pleasure to manipulate as it is to stare at on top of your desk
  • I've attached photos to show my issue as well as reduced my stars to 3.

Reviews around flicker (1.69 of 5)

  • 2K it may look good also on 30" but all the non-standard 30", 29", 31", 28" on the market are usually 4K even worse for such a monitor size, only if you'll watch movies and not working
  • is my ATI 290 8GB struggles a bit playing games in 4K. Like the The Witcher 3 in 4K again no lag with the monitor it was the video card that couldn't handle it
  • Bad "eco" mode, though - nasty flicker in some ambient light conditions
  • I would imagine 32" 4K to be not much more better
  • The "worst" of the reviews claimed delta e of 2.0, which is indistinguishable to the eye (though the IPS they compared it to was 0.4).

Reviews around pixel (1.63 of 5)

  • However if there were real issues / dead pixels etc I would have noticed.
  • As far as I can tell the display is flawless (no dead pixels, no variance in brightness, etc.).
  • For work with text documents, it has as many pixels as I could possibly see, and all are crisp with good contrast and more brightness than I'll need
  • No dead pixels that I've found though and the resolution is great.
  • I have not noticed any dead pixels anywhere on the monitor and the picture is very vivid and clear

Reviews around problem (1.57 of 5)

  • The problem is that when using display port connections which is the only way you can get 2K res, the monitor will randomly lose video (or sync).
  • My existing DVI cable did not work well, but the cable supplied by Samsung worked great.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update: I am lowering this review to 4 stars because I am having problems with the integrated USB Hub being unstable
  • I wouldn't recommend this monitor unless Samsung corrects the problem with the sleep mode issue.
  • Monitor returned but still does not work (same problem).
  • no dead pixels, no problems whatsoever and the color is clean and crisp - we watch all our movies on this now... connected it to my Mac Mini (1920 X 1200) with the Display Port - and to my surveillance cameras (2560 X 1440) with the HDMI 1.4 port (Apple Display only had Display Port)

Reviews around scale issue (1.54 of 5)

  • The color is not as rich as on the
  • The "worst" of the reviews claimed delta e of 2.0, which is indistinguishable to the eye (though the IPS they compared it to was 0.4).
  • Of course at 1440p the display scaling issues are not anywhere near as dramatic as 4k or 8k, but they still do exists and it is sometimes still an issue
  • I hope these reviewers are not confusing text scaling issues with grain, though that
  • I'm currently running Windows Technical Preview (Windows 10).Text and icons overall look much more correct and crisp on the S32, whereas on the U32 they suffer from 4K scaling issues, or at least I guess that's what it is

Reviews around usb hub (1.41 of 5)

  • The USB hub is completely unreliable on this monitor and I'm dropping my review from 4 stars to 1 star because of it
  • each morning when I turn the monitor on and hook up the laptop, the USB hub doesn't work (not even for charging).
  • This would be a great monitor at the price point if the USB hub weren't completely unreliable
  • Only one issue: It occurred already a couple of times that the USB hub would cease working completely
  • The USB hub doesn't work (only good for charging), but this wasn't expected anyway.

Reviews around eye (1.38 of 5)

  • I’ve also found that without the use of 25% display scaling, that this monitor isn’t big enough to comfortably use at reasonable sitting distances without having to really strain your eyes because some of the text and icons at native resolution are just too small
  • A major issue for me was that my eyes felt more strained with this monitor than my old Dell
  • This monitor still hurts my eyes as compared to an old 23" Dell Ultrasharp
  • The "worst" of the reviews claimed delta e of 2.0, which is indistinguishable to the eye (though the IPS they compared it to was 0.4).
  • As I have gotten a bit older and my eyes are not as good as they were, having this size monitor has been very helpful.

Reviews around menu (1.33 of 5)

  • I really liked the extra crispness of the text due to the higher PPI on the 27".3. ... that the menu system and the buttons suck
  • The set up menus are as confusing as all other monitors but looks great out of the box
  • When I switch back to the Display Port, all these settings are still remembered, which means I have to manually go into the bad menu system and individually change all the
  • On top of this, it's made worse by the bad menu system.4. ... that it has many connectivity options (DVI, HDMI, Display Port), all running at 2560x1440, as well as 4 USB 3.0 ports
  • I do find the menu manipulation a bit confusing, but then there is a great deal in our modern technological world that is confusing to those of us of a certain age...
