SAMSUNG 32" UJ59 Series 4K UHD (3840x2160) Computer Monitor,VA Panel, HDMI, Display Port, Eye Saver/Flicker Free Mode, FreeSync, LU32J590UQNXZA, Black

I don't play too many games on the PC this is on. But it's not the fastest refresh, so I probably would not buy one for that. That being said, I'm not putting this down at all! It's an awesome monitor. I HAD a great gaming monitor with a curved screen this replaced. I don't need 240 Hz refresh rate or whatever. I play drums, and this is the monitor I use to play along to sheet music on the screen mostly. But my eyes weren't what they were. I run it at half the resolution it is capable of, because I want everything LARGE. I need to see the music notes clearly. I also need nice big clear text. The visual difference when I got this monitor after using the last one for 2+ years for this, was astonishing. Everything was clearer and sharper. Text is crisp. Video play back is awesome. This isn't the best of the best in monitors, but in this price range, this size, well I'm glad I picked this one. Sturdy as hell. You can see and feel the build quality. Colors are vibrant but not (to me) inaccurate. And I'm sure it works great for gaming! But not what I would pick for gaming, as I would want a faster screen refresh rate. For my use the refresh rate is way more than I need.

These are great monitors--I have two of them mounted on my wall above the two 4K laptops I use for work. I have so much screen real estate to work with now.

Overall this is a good monitor for home use. There are better ones out there, but the price point makes this one worth considering. I bought it because I wanted to display text files in larger sizes -- so far, it's doing an excellent job. Text is crisp, and the larger size allows me to both read more easily and multitask. Arguably a similar arrangement could be done through two smaller monitors, as is the case in my business office, but I don't like the screen being divided. My old monitor was 27 inches. It, too, worked well for many years, but as my eyes have changed, I was feeling more strain to read text. Because I write and edit a lot, among other things, I often have more than one full-sized page open at a time. The problem was larger monitors without higher resolution were not necessarily an improvement. Yes, they enlarged the images, but then the text wasn't as readable. This higher resolution, 4K monitor bridges that gap. The good: 1) Crisp images and text -- I can run a 4K movie in a window and still have plenty of real estate for other applications. 2) A decent refresh rate -- videogamers no doubt will have quibbles, but for ordinary business use and all but the most sophisticated graphics, it's fine. 3) No dead pixels or screen bleed -- I've been using the monitor a while now, but, of course, these flaws often don't show up right away. The bad: 1) Color reproduction seems a bit off compared to my old, non-Samsung monitor. The colors lean toward the blue portion of the spectrum. I may play around with the settings more to see if I can warm things up. 2) The display stand is not adjustable and does not swivel. This is a bigger issue than it sounds because it's actually in an computer cabinet with fixed shelving. Yes, I can raise the office chair, but this is the first monitor I've ever owned that can't simply be raised or lowered at the stand. 3) Physical buttons are awkward. There's a circular control in the back that's tough to reach (especially since the monitor also does not swivel). The HDMI and power plugs are on the opposite side . . . which is awkward since the feed for cables in my display cabinet as well as the wall socket are opposite of that. Because the power cable is short, I actually have to use an extension cord to plug it in. So, if you can live with these limitations -- some of which are specific to my furniture and den set up -- this is a good value for the price. Time will tell how long it lasts. For the past 10 years or so, I've sworn by Samsung televisions, but a more recent one developed significant display problems because of a long, purple "cloud" across the top of the screen. I'm guessing because the television is so razor thin, the screen buckled from it's own weight, warping that portion. It's too early to tell if this monitor, which is similar in proportion, will do the same. In more recent years, Samsung seems to be using cheaper parts and components, so I may need to update this review in a few months.

I'm so happy with it. First, the packaging was very well done. Nice and tight and very well protected. Then, I was surprised on how big the monitor is. I know I ordered the 32", but I was not used to it. The picture comes out crisp and clean. All the colors are vibrant. The black is so black, that it's metal. I definitely recommend.

I bought this monitor based on Samsung's brand believing I was buying a quality monitor. Unfortunately, a couple weeks after setting it up, the HDMI2 port started to fail and the connection from my laptop would cut on and off randomly. This started once in a while and proceeded to quickly get worse to the point that I could no longer use the port. I called Samsung and they refused to exchange it and said I'd need to send it to a repair center. The repair center was on the other side of the US in New Jersey (I'm west coast) and took forever just to arrive. They then kept it there for 3 weeks while sending automated text and email messages stating all sorts of weird things like there was physical damage to the sides (there was not) and all sorts of other random things. I called and spoke to several representatives over this 3-week period that I did not have a monitor to do my job and every representative said different things including to not pay attention to the text and email messages because they were wrong and I should trust them and not their system. Really shoddy process. Anyway, I finally got a message that they had replaced a part in the monitor and were sending it back. Lo and behold, after a couple of weeks the HDMI2 port is doing the same thing. Switched to the HDMI1 port because I can't deal with not having a monitor for another 3 weeks to do my job. Well, the HDMI1 doesn't flicker, but it does display tiny little red pixels randomly on dark colors, and also shows horizontal lines at random times. Called customer service to request a replacement and have been given the runaround now by 5 representatives, told that a manager would call me back (they never did), told that the monitor doesn't qualify for a replacement because it needs to be sent for repairs twice before they will replace it. Absolutely horrible experience. Samsung is not the company it used to be. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. There are plenty of other choices for this price.
