OVERALL PICTURE QUALITY -> Good. OOTB settings are not optimal but can be adjusted to make the picture look good. (See settings below) VIDEO QUALITY -> Very good TEXT QUALITY -> Fair -> Average BLACK DEPTH -> Average WHITE -> Very good COLORS -> Very good SIZE -> 23.5" diagonal screen view VESA -> The monitor has a VESA mount compatibility, my suggestion is go for a mount. PROS: -Extremely lightweight -Good picture (after settings adjustment) even in bright light -Low price & excellent value for money -VESA Compliant CONS: -Basic monitor with no add-ons like speakers or USB -Don't expect the samsung LED TV quality at this price OVERALL: I recommend the monitor because you won't find anything better at this price. However I do recommend buying a mount so that you have a better viewing angle and won't hurt your neck. The unit I got had been repackaged and missing the screws to the stand which makes it a little unstable. I'm likely going to order 2x27" instead. UPDATE TO SETTINGS If you are not liking the picture quality on your Samsung Monitor particularly if your screen is pale looking, you need to adjust the settings. Samsung should have done a better job at providing this OOTB but they haven't. Please follow these settings in the order listed 1) Goto MENU -> SYSTEM FreeSync: ULTIMATE ENGINE 2) Goto MENU -> PICTURE Brightness: 56 Contrast: 94 Sharpness: 36 (COLOR) Red: 50 Green: 54 Blue: 60 Samsung Magic Upscale: Mode1 HDMI Black level: Low Eye Saver Mode: OFF Game Mode: OFF Leave a comment or upvote if it helps please.

This is similar to the Samsung 24" essentials curved monitor. I can't tell the difference. They are perfect!! Read more

Bought two of these 24 inch curved samsungs and I am in LOVE. Before I say anything else if you are a SERIOUS gamer maybe get something slightly more expensive.. If you are working from home, making music, or want to have a bad ass new set up for once get these.. I know im slightly biased because I'm a galaxy nut, but they are exactly what I was looking for. They are 1080p so the picture quality is perfect and exactly as advertised as far as I'm concerned. If you're a picky gamer pay 3 times as much for slightly better resolution and a higher frame rate and stop crying. Read the description its 60 hz which is all I need. I bought a type c docking station, connected it to my samsung galaxy flex alpha, and if you have two extra monitors make sure that it supports triple display, so double check that unless you only plan on connecting one monitor. Or double check if you use Mac, I know those are weird. One hdmi cord from each monitor into the docking station and you're rolling! No speakers, but I use a jbl flip via aux cord to laptop if im not wearing headphones anyways. Was not planning on mounting them when I originally purchased, but the way the stands are, it makes the monitors look like they're slightly off center when side by side, making a seamless connection between the two nearly impossible. My desk is not able to have a C-clamp mount so I bought a free standing mount and now they line up PERFECTLY. Very happy with the picture. Settings aren't complicated, i.e. my dad could figure out how to make it look good and he can barely send a text. Game mode automatically changes the settings to a great picture but has the brightness all the way up. I love it because next time you go to use your computer it's back to normal.. unless you choose game mode always on. Good luck Read more
