DO NOT BUY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
So, I was so excited to get this monitor! I know Samsung makes some good phones, so their other products should be peachy too, right?
Wrong. I got this in the mail and set it up before I had to leave for work. I had the HDMI and everything working. Then I turned the monitor off and left for work.
I got back 4-5 hours later (shorter shift that day at a local restaurant) and turned the monitor back on. It knew there was an HDMI in there, but the screen would blank and then turn off. I tested different HDMI cords and even a separate monitor to make sure it wasn't something like my GPU, which would've been a whole lot worse if that had been the problem instead of the monitor. Couldn't find a proper way to reset it, and the power/joystick thing was tripping out. So, I disassembled the monitor, repackaged it, and the day after I got it, I returned it.
I'm going with a different brand this next time around. I don't normally leave reviews, but ever since I started heavily using Amazon a year ago, this is the first product that was so horrible that I felt the need to take the time of day to repackage everything and ship it back immediately after getting it.
I've seen reviews for other Samsung monitors, and if there's one takeaway I have from this experience, Samsung's monitors are not worth any money and are total garbage. If you want a monitor that will last and the Amazon return window is still open, get that thing sent back immediately. The other reviewers say Samsung's customer service/PR department will be no help, and after this experience, I'm just gonna take their word for it.
Ciao!
