Reviews around value (4.45 of 5)

Reviews around deal (4.31 of 5)

  • If it weren't for this problem, this monitor would be a great deal.
  • So if you can find this monitor at a great deal as I did, or even at up to $400, I think it is a great investment for the future
  • The hardcopy manual was only in Korean, leaving me frustrated as I tried unsuccessfully to force together an adapter that seemingly was meant to fit the extra power cord
  • This is my 4th 4K monitor, and hopefully will last me a good deal longer than the other three
  • Got a great deal, But monitor did not work brand new Samsung is slacking on there Products!!

Reviews around picture (4.26 of 5)

  • It's a very clear picture, but the color seems a little off
  • My only issues, which I had for a little bit but seemed to of went away, is that the picture on screen would flicker until I messes with some settings in my AMD software
  • and when I got it I realized that the picture was all fuzzy and not what I wanted
  • The picture was fuzzy and nowhere near the quality of 4k or even 1080p
  • the picture flickers out to a black screen and then back

Reviews around size (4.26 of 5)

  • im using it now, works great, perfect size for my desk, great functionality
  • They grew up to sizes 90" tall, but they lacked certain quality to them
  • Every once in a while, when my attached mac (lid-down) comes out of sleep, it looks like monitor transiently exposes a smaller size, and the windows resize in an annoying fashion
  • Now a days I do understand that due to the insane number of pixels and the microscopic size that a few (3-6) pixels will be dead and the display still passes QA tests.
  • But with Windows 10's scaling options in the display settings, you can easily bump up the size of app icons, text, etc., making great use of the 4K resolution

Reviews around resolution (4.19 of 5)

  • Then again, Win10 constantly and incessantly updates--like a dog that will not stop licking itself--so the resolution becomes irrelevant.)
  • The resolution is great, the increased productivity is also great, but there are a few minor cons
  • Everything about the monitor was fine (great resolution) until it went to sleep
  • Be aware that the higher resolution causes havoc in out-of-date and some up-to-date programs
  • This monitor has excellent color, resolution and speed.

Reviews around quality (3.88 of 5)

  • Quality Issue: No dead pixels, but one of the two monitors I received cannot display UHD at 60hz as advertised.
  • Pros: price, good picture, free sync, nice designCons: cheap quality base with poor adjustment, picture will require calibration and even after calibrating is still mildly washed out
  • Product works as described, The quality of the product is good
  • IThe quality of the display is mediocre,colors appear washed out
  • A little expensive, but that is the price of admission for a good quality 4K monitor.

Reviews around color (3.80 of 5)

  • This monitor looked fantastic for still pictures and the colors were pretty good for a TN panel
  • Color changes and fall-off due to viewing angle from center to edge of screen very noticeable
  • It's a good monitor:- Great color, refresh rate, brightness.
  • Great monitor with fantastic color and great motion clarity
  • After 7 months I can honestly say the 4K is NOT worth the hideous colors of this screen

Reviews around display (3.31 of 5)

  • This monitor is large (relatively speaking) and has a beautiful display
  • After a couple of days I determined that this display was unusable as a desktop
  • Aside from that, I would say the display is good, not great.
  • You have the display right in front of you and it works perfect
  • Display looks great, white is bright and colors are amazing

Reviews around screen (3.29 of 5)

  • IPS is really too slow for gaming and fast screen changes.
  • The screen is matte so it has minimal glare, however it is still very bright
  • Great screen, always what I dreamed of when I built my computer and at a great price too
  • Spend the $1000 to $2000 for a good IPS screen at 4K and perfect color.
  • Non-adjustable screen is outweighed by the brilliant 4K screen.

Reviews around power (2.09 of 5)

  • And it's Samsung, which is a name I have grown to like and has taken over my house after my ViewSonics died off one by one (bad power supplies)
  • It's a fantastic deal for a 4K monitor when I bought it last year, but it's developed a high pitched whine when viewing at 4K. Bad power components or something.
  • Samsung service was very helpful and mentioned that there had been increased incidence in power adapter failures with the recent batch of this model that happened to be the one Amazon promoted for Prime Day.
  • *Please note that this is the UPGRADED U28-E-590D model, over the identical U28-D-590D model
  • I had a hard time with it on my first day, due to a completely irrelevant and unusable power cord being included with the assorted cords and adapters

Reviews around time (1.85 of 5)

  • Now I have a hard time facing my dual 1080p's in the office
  • I almost have a hard time telling that this is a TN panel
  • I have a very hard time adjusting the color on this monitor to get it to look right.

Reviews around issue (1.67 of 5)

  • The issues i have read that people had with the light bleed are understandable but are not warranted when you adjust the position that you are viewing the monitor
  • *Please note that this is the UPGRADED U28-E-590D model, over the identical U28-D-590D model
  • Once I tried the HDMI cable that came with it and plugged it straight into the monitor itself, the fuzzy screen issues went away.
  • Not the worst issue I suppose but its pretty annoying since it comes with all these features like, eye saver mode, or power saving mode
  • No issues at all, the colors are vibrant, it wakes up from sleep when the computer does

Reviews around eye strain (1.63 of 5)

  • *Please note that this is the UPGRADED U28-E-590D model, over the identical U28-D-590D model
  • but I get eye strain with this monitor even with Windows 10 set up to use its largest font due to miniscule characters, so I should have bought a larger 4k monitor.
  • She does a lot of coding and lower resolution monitors were causing a lot of eye strain
  • It is not as sharp as I'd like, but it could be due to Windows scaling
  • but if you are me and have any issues with monitors such as eye strain, the flicker issue or whatever you might want to look into this thing.

Reviews around noise (1.61 of 5)

  • [URL elided]. More specifically, the noise doesn't seem sensitive to what's being displayed, and is constant
  • *Please note that this is the UPGRADED U28-E-590D model, over the identical U28-D-590D model
  • The biggest downside for me is that it has this horrible buzzing/ringing noise when it turns on
  • Also makes a annoying beeping noise when searching for connected devices
  • Fine picture quality and all, really a shame that whatever is on the inside of it makes such a horrible noise.

Reviews around pitch (1.51 of 5)

  • Purchased from a separate vendor but this monitor makes a horrible high pitched sound that slowly bleeds in as you continue to use it.
  • I returned the first one I had thinking it was just a random dud but that one also developed the same high pitched hissing issue.
  • The picture looks amazing however some of the power adapters make an audible high pitched noise making them difficult to use.
  • Only complaint is that one of the monitors has a terrible high pitch hiss that I can't get rid

  • Its garbage!Also white bleed on the corner is bad and the TN picture quality is bad
  • Horrible Ghosting and White Bleed, one of the cheaper panels I have ever seen and Samsung has no shame putting its name on it

Reviews around input lag (1.47 of 5)

  • The picture looks amazing like expected, and it's great with backwards compatibility for 1080 P
  • The input lag and response time are the other reasons that I returned this monitor
  • The downside to this monitor is the input lag, responsiveness, and the ghosting on the screen
  • The input lag is awful for a monitor that is meant to be used for any games
  • I mainly play FPS games (cod, Battlefield, etc.) so refresh rate, input lag, gaming mode, etc is extremely important since I take gaming very seriously

Reviews around pixel (1.28 of 5)

  • However, the one I received this time was malfunctioning, it had dead pixels and the right side of the screen has a ‘red overlay’
  • I exchanged it, and the second one had a couple/few dead pixels again, in the same far upper right corner.
  • No dead pixels, out of the box colors are great, menu screens are a bit awkward with the joystick on the rear, but manageable
