Gamers Behold! This is the ONE!
**DISCLAIMER**I am writing this review as a gamer. Professional artists and/or content creators looking for a good 1440p 144 Hz Samsung panel should skip this monitor, because the Samsung CHG70 uses Quantum Dot (AKA QLED) instead of the LCD panel on this monitor. This means that the blacks are blacker, the whites are brighter, and the colors are much more accurate. Straight out of the box. The monitor here, on the other hand, requires some tinkering before getting colors what would even be considered "acceptable" to you guys. And even then, it's not QLED and has relatively low contrast ratio. So just spend the extra cash and get the Samsung CHG70 instead of this one, you won't regret it.**BAD THINGS ABOUT THE MONITOR**Let me get the bad things out of the way first. This is a midrange LCD panel, so the colors aren't that great out of the box. They're awesome once you calibrate the monitor, but they're still not perfect. Also, LCDs require backlights. This particular backlight bleeds a little bit (see the third picture). The blacks aren't perfect, but believe it or not they're actually pretty good for an LCD. The backlight bleed is only noticeable when the screen is totally black. Otherwise, it disappears. So I guess it's not that bad. I'm just nitpicky. Oh yeah, viewing angles aren't perfect either (see the second picture and compare to the first one, there's a difference). Colors shift slightly to a lighter hue. Things surrounded by white get blown out. It's not as bad as other VA panels, but you definitely tell it's a VA panel and not an IPS panel (which doesn't have that effect). So uh, make sure to look at the monitor dead-on.Oh, and the stand sucks. The stock stand that comes with the monitor? It sucks. No swivel, no height adjustment, no tilt, nothing. It's solidly built, but it's totally void of any other useful features besides holding the monitor up. The monitor is VESA-compatible, though, so it's not all bad. Since the way my desk is ergonomically set up, I look at the monitor dead center naturally anyway, so the stand isn't too bad for me. But for literally everyone else, get a VESA mount.Don't let this all scare you though, I'm just very nitpicky.**GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE MONITOR**Okay, now for the good. There's so much to praise about this monitor, way more than there is to criticize. Let me get this out of the way right now: the monitor, for the $320 I paid for it, is absolutely worth it for what I do, which is high-end gaming. Playing games at 1440p and being able to see 144 Hz is just...it's a godsend. The curved panel makes things so much more immersive, too. The colors of this panel blew me away for the price (but only after calibrating them; look at how beautiful that desktop background looks on the monitor in the pictures), and the contrast ratio is pretty damn good too. Not nearly as bad as many other VA panels. The slight shift in color when looking off axis is not nearly as bad as other VA panels, either. All in all, Samsung did an excellent job here with the panel. I just wish the default settings that came with the monitor out of the box were better. I was able to overclock this particular monitor to 150 Hz as well, which isn't exactly any palpable change, but it is a nice even number and it's good to know you can overclock the monitor. Oh, and the little navigation nub thing on the bottom of the monitor? Pretty dang user friendly and easy to use. The build quality is probably one of the least important parts of a monitor, but Samsung did a pretty decent job on that too. The exterior of this monitor is mostly hardened plastic. Like, really hardened plastic. As in not "cheap" plastic. And the bezels on this monitor are pretty small for its' size. It's just a really good monitor all around for the price. It's not perfect, but it definitely ticks most of the boxes that people care about.**OVERALL**If you're a gamer, buy this monitor. Don't even think twice. This monitor will do literally everything you need it to do as long as you change the stand. If you're a professional artist/content creator, get the higher-end Samsung CHG70 instead of this monitor. It has better everything, really. But for gamers, the monitor here is absolutely all you need. It's not the best of the best by any means, but it's pretty damn close. And for that $300 price tag, you can't really complain when it nearly goes toe-to-toe with other monitors that cost upward of $600. Samsung has always been good with displays, and this one is absolutely no different.

Perfect sized Gaming monitor with superb color
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2019
Awesome bang for your buck! This is a 31.5" curved 1440P VA panel Gaming monitor. It also has a 144Hz refresh rate on it. All of these factor in to this being a superb monitor for gaming. The 1440p resolution means it has double the pixels of 1080p monitors which are the most common monitors out there. This means that at 1440p everything looks much sharper and in more detail. Being that this is a 31.5" montor the added pixels make sure everything remains sharp at this size. The curve adds an immersion level to the monitor, makes you feel like it is surrounding your eyes, it really adds to the greatness of the game you are playing. Right away I could feel the picture wrapping around my vision pulling me into what I was seeing more than a flat monitor could do. The 144Hz means that this monitor can keep up with games when your computer produces high frame rates, you get no delay and can see things move more fluidly due to this. The old standard was only 60Hz for monitors, this 144 is far superior and you can feel it too. 31.5" fit perfectly on my desk right into the opening it had for the monitor to recess into. I really feel this is the new best size for gaming, it blows the old 27" model we had in its place before it away. The panel on this is VA and it is producing outstanding colors, very deep blacks as well, so its the best of both worlds when it comes to color and blacks on this model. The viewing angle is also good, we had people looking at us play on this monitor form the side and they did not have any problem seeing the action without losing colors. The other panel types such as TN or IPS have some flaws you don't get on this VA. There is no glow in the corners hwo IP models have and the colors and angles are far superior to TN models on this VA panel. The stand does not have any height or other adjustments, but I don't need that on this monitor as its size leaves it in the perfect spot, no reason to move it. IT also lacks freesync/G-sync but I did not feel I was missing it either when gaming everything looked great. I also watched some videos on it and boy are they amazing to watch at this size and with the 1440p resolution, it feels like a small theatre at your desk. I am really impressed with this model, it seems to be towards the very top at its price range with all the features packed into it along with the quality of each feature that I tested on it. I fully recommend this one for any gamer out there. Also, check out my Video unboxing review of this awesome monitor!

Use a TBT3 dock to connect laptops to monitor(macbook only has TBT3). Devices used support 2k Res, so was able to use monitor to the fullest. It does have 2 HDMI ports, 1 DP port and a Headphone Jack for audio output. The high rate of FPS can be seen when playing games and also having the gaming modes in monitor actually helps brighten up screen and the responsive time is much faster. Switching game modes is also easy and quick.
The curved screen is new and exciting and feels more immersive while playing/work. And the 31.5" screen size is a plus, allowing to have multiple tabs open on the big screen for better productive work.
The monitor does have an Eye Saver mode, which seems to reduce the blue light filter just as on phones, and it did help when working in low light. Also, in a way helps with longer usage, reducing the eye strain.
The back of monitor for ports is covered by a removable panel, a plus. The JOG button that allows all controls of monitor is located at bottom center of screen and state of monitor is indicated by its color(figured out hard way after initially trying to turn it on for 5 minutes). Menu has a visual layout of all current values: Response Time, Refresh Rate and other states. It's easy to switch between inputs by pressing JOG to left and other settings by swiping UP/DOWN/Right when no OSD.
Higher Refresh rate can be set only when connected to HDMI2/DP ports(learnt it the hard way). HDMI1 only has 60HZ, monitor, so have to check port connect to.
The monitor has no height adjustment, but still has tilt.
Even after playing for 6+ hours nonstop, not much strain on the eyes. Games have high contrast, and as I play RTS games, set RTS mode, and significant difference in Map visibility and minimap. Cinema mode is good as well and liked watching Netflix on it. I also use AGA with RTX 2070 and get 200-240fps in LOL in Very High graphics with 2k Res and 144hz refresh rate.
All in all, the monitor exceeds the performance expectations and the screen size and refresh rate helps with both with gaming and work. Also the vibrant colors while playing games helped at times to see sneaky enemies. minimap is amazing on LOL(MOBA) game when mode set to RTS with fast Response Time and Low Input Lag.
Pros:
Screen size
Refresh rate
Game modes
Cons:
Flimsy base connection
No height adjust
Awesome gaming monitor with some amazing features

To start of, unboxing and setting up monitor is easy, and fixing the stand was just 2 screws and the base slides into the monitor.Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2019
