Magnificent

I can't wait to get home from work every evening to find this marvel of technology. More seriously, the screen is magnificent, bright, vivid colours, I never thought I'd be so impressed with this technology! Games like CyberPunk 2077, Horizon Zero Dawn and Hogwarts Legacy are just insane on this screen!

Very good screen ... if it has no problems

The screen has very good image quality, although the sub-pixel arrangement is a bit disturbing at first (the pixel is a triangle, which causes a slight green border on horizontal lines, and a red border on vertical lines). The screen's OS is poor (freezes, very high response time), but in my situation, I'm just using DisplayPort as a source and I don't intend to change it. Except... my screen arrived with a dead pixel. From this, I learn that Samsung doesn't have a zero dead pixel guarantee for a screen costing an SMIC. Which I find highly dubious. What's more, the screen has an anti-reflective coating (not mentioned anywhere, either in the specifications or on the instructions for the screen), which disappears very, very quickly at the slightest strong rubbing, even with a microfibre cloth. So I'm more than disappointed with the product, as much for the dead pixel as for the coating. And other manufacturers offering equivalent screens won't be any better off, because Samsung is currently the only one building these panels.

        Is it normal for the screen to squeak?

        My screen makes a little shrill noise. I'd like to know why, otherwise I love the screen, but if I could no longer see this shrill noise, that would be perfect.

        Great gaming screen

        The best screen I've ever had.
        Image with OLED technology gives better colour rendition, very pleasant when gaming.
        Aesthetics with a thin edge.
        Imposing stand, but its shape means you can put things under the screen.
        The picture quality is really excellent, as is the build quality. The finish is excellent.

        The application interface is pretty much identical to the Samsung TV, and is comprehensive enough to allow you to spend some relaxing time watching a wide range of TV series.
        The sound on the screen is more than adequate, and when coupled with a sound bar, you can enjoy quality games and films.
        The fact that the screen is thinner is a plus if like me you use a screen arm, less weight and easier to place.

        Incredible screen quality

        Incredible picture quality, vivid, vibrant colours, deep blacks, crisp image depth - there's a clear difference when you switch from a VA panel to a QD OLED panel.

        The display port mini display port cable included is essential and a pleasure to have, in addition to the vesa mount (10x10).

        A few adjustments to be made on the screen and PC side (below) using the mini displayport --> displayport cable.

        Screen :
        Settings :
        All settings :
        General and privacy :
        Panel protection :
        Modif. Pixel --> Enabled
        Adjust logo brightness --> High
        Pixel refresh --> yes (approx. 1h)
        Image :
        Expert settings :
        Colour Shade --> Natural
        Maximum brightness --> Off
        VRR control --> Enabled
        Games :
        Game Mode --> Enabled
        HDR tonal mapping :
        HDR10+ GAMING: Simple
        HDR Gaming --> Enabled
        Windows 11 :
        Install the "Windows HDR Calibration" application from the store and run it to calibrate the screen
        Then in "Settings" --> "System" --> "Screen" --> "Use HDR" --> tick: "Use HDR, broadcast".
        tick: Use HDR, HDR video streaming, Automatic HDR
        if you have an Nvidia graphics card, in the Nvidia control panel activate GSYNC

        Nikel but some slowdown

        The screen is magnificent on the single screen part great with beautiful colour and deep blacks but as soon as you start switching to the smart tv part you encounter slowdowns when I exit an application to return to the home menu there is a lag of a few seconds but you feel it and it shows, the same when you access the settings you see the fixed menu loads little by little. Another negative point is that Nextflix, youtube (see photo) do not allow you to use 100 of the screen (you end up with big black bands on the side and the top and bottom of the image), impossible to go through the forced zoom mode. Otherwise on Prime, Disney and Canal (for Canal, prefer films or series in 16:9 format, easier to switch to 32:9), it works perfectly.

        Disappointed for its price; update that can solve some problems?

        Disappointed for its price I expected better, see with the time of future update ????
        POSITIVE POINTS:
        Very good picture quality
        Very good sound quality
        semi-curved screen
        HDR10+
        Several display modes: Cinema; Dynamic Standards / Games mode
        Dark zone lighting
        Automatic brightness
        Eye protection mode
        Ability to play Xbox Game pass
        Samsung TV
        21:9 screen

        THE POINTS Negative;
        The mini HDMI port does not provide 4K if game mode is activated
        Not recommended for the console (my opinion)
        Samsung's operating system is very slow
        Applications such as Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, etc. are displayed with borders on the sides.
        You have to use the computer + an extension in google to display the whole screen
        To use the screen in 4K for a console, you need to deactivate the screen's games mode.

        Very good!

        The picture is really beautiful, the definition is very good, and the connectivity is very comprehensive. The screen is attractive and very well finished.
        It even has a remote control and can operate like a real connected TV via the Samsung environment (although a little too prominently for my liking).
        The only negative points are that the power transformer is quite large and heavy (the equivalent in size of a good iPad mini) and the 120/175hrz power consumption is quite high.

        very nice screen but a very annoying coil whine

        The design of the screen is magnificent and the picture quality is top notch. It's worth noting that the screen I received came with a mini display port cable for those who are wondering, and contrary to what was indicated, particularly by the LDLC question/answer team. I also bought one for nothing.

        On the negative side :
        - Presence of a "coil whine" very sharp and very very tiring in the long run (even on the desk). At first I thought it was the 3d card that I installed at the same time as the screen but it's really coming from the screen... I wrote to SAMSUNG, no reply. I've looked at the forums but there's no viable solution, even with all the 60hz - 165hz / HDR / VRR etc settings... only the contrast and brightness settings seem to have an effect on the intensity of the coil whine.
        - Very poor navigation menu
        - OLED is less pleasant for reading text
        - Sometimes I have to restart the PC for the screen to work after an initial boot, whereas my secondary screen is OK but very random

        Buy LDLC.

        Received fairly quickly with no problems, product identical to the description.
        No problems with the purchase and payment procedures.
