You lose all brightness control and Freesync when activating

At full price it’s not worth the headache with Samsung’s poor quality control.

It's a lot better than a dead pixel, so I am going to keep the monitor, but this is ridiculous quality control.

I took a risk buying it despite many reviews stating poor quality control with this monitor but I decided to get it anyway

Feeling very frustrated and disappointed with Samsung's terrible quality control, and I will update as I progress through their warranty service

If I had to suggest a few things, the power cord that comes with this has a weird L-shape making it difficult to use at times, and the stand is a little big for my liking, but those can be swapped out without too much work due to the monitor being VESA compatible and using a standard power port for this type of monitor
