4K UHD Bezelless (U28R55)

Edit: I bought a second one. This was the same amazing value, but in the year between the two orders, Samsung had corrected the stand angle problem, with a slightly adjustable stand. I'll be buying a third soon. [End of Edit] When I ordered it, this was the lowest cost 4k 28" monitor by a huge factor, so of course I was expecting it to be unacceptable in some way. I thought I would try it, then return it, and pay nearly twice as much for a different screen. Happily, what happened instead was that I got a very nice monitor, with no dead pixels or any other fault I can detect, for very little money. The one fault, and it's something other reviews have picked up on, is the stand. This is designed to place the monitor on a shelf above your keyboard area, as in a professional workstation. If you put the stand on the same level as your keyboard, it does tilt the display down somewhat. The solution for me, was £3 worth of rubber door wedges; one under each end of the stand front t-bar. It looks fine, and works perfectly.

For just under £200 you get a 28" UHD screen 3840 x 2160 res with razor-sharp definition - I paid £185 5 years ago for a Dell 1920 x 1080 res 23" screen which I still use and has been great, but just shows what incredible value we get as consumers currently! I plugged into my Dell XPS15 and it worked immediately as a second screen no problems - I recommend installing DisplayFusion so that your mouse pointer doesn't get "stuck" moving between screens of differing resolutions. The Samsung is superb with three whole pages of an MS Word document displayed next to each other crisp, clear and very readable. A second screen is always essential, the Samsung is like having two screens for the price of one because of the amount of windows that can be displayed simultaneously and still be readable/ useable. I was tempted to knock of a star because the stand could be better - there is no adjustment capability - the Dell can be slid up and down as well as rotated through 90 degrees which can be useful. But to give it 4 stars would be an injustice, it's a superb bit of kit. I am impressed. I don't do gaming so I can't speak for it's ability in this area.

For whoever is reading, I received this monitor on the 18th Jan, and can finally write the review (date of writing 1st Feb). First of all, I want to say I'm really happy with how this monitor looks and performs. So please dont let anything you read below take away from it's performance or how 'happy' you would be if you bought it. Im considering getting another one of the next month or so. Now, the positives: - it's a very pretty monitor in terms of picture quality. - great entry level for 4k @60hz, so overall it's a very nice monitor if you're just working from home, gaming, editing video/photos like I am. - i have heard people complain about receiving the monitor with some dead pixels on edges - not the case for me. I do apologise for not being extremely technical, computer terms are foreign to me. But it's a good monitor - you'll be happy with it if you're looking to get into 4k visuals like I am. HOWEVER! The main reason Im buying this is the absolute hassle I went through to make sure my Macbook Air 2020 was showing content on the monitor in 4k @ 60hz. Given I work from home and speak to clients over zoom, my internet connection is extremely important. So an ethernet cable is necessary for me. Mixing this with the desire for 4k video, i had a problem. To save you the effort and energy I had to go through, I found the only way for it to work is to buy Apple's own adaptor (allowing you plug a hdmi, ethernet via usb dongle, and charge the laptop) within one dongle. Once the Apple dongle is plugged in and connected to the monitor, go to 'System Preferences', then 'Displays', click on the monitor, then hold 'options' as you click on 'scaled', then you'll see resolutions appear. Click on the 4k resolution, and then underneath the list, there is a button saying 'low resolutions'. By clicking on that, you'll be shown the refresh rate, and you can choose 60hz (30hz if you're nasty). I previously bought that dongle that plugs into both usb-c ports, and had 8 ports on it itself - it was great! But I soon realised i couldn't both charge the laptop, and display max settings on the monitor, given the one thunderbolt port on the adaptor. So, invest in the Apple dongle as I've found that that's the only one that works. I promise I'm not an Apple salesman - I actually hate the fact that they've done things like this. There are two dongles, so I'll send the link for the one I bought below: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07XFYZLTJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Now for the negatives: - The holes for screws to mount the monitor are extremely high. So if your arms dont extend that high above your desk, the monitor could sit just above it, or worse, hit it. - It's also not VESA mount compatible. So find which mounts actually fit the holes provided. I had to improve with the mount I bought and literally drilled my own holes into them just to make it work. - the Menu is a bit finicky - mainly because there's only one button (the same setup as Samsung TVs with that one joystick button thing on the back of the TV). - As much as the manual says you can tilt the screen when on its monitor stand provided, mine doesnt... - Sometimes the settings for picture quality/colour etc are editable, and sometimes they're not. I'm not sure why, but it might be because something has been turned on/off before. While it could be my fault, they could have made it clearer that IF you change this setting, other settings are unchangeable. - There is some darkening of screen depending on which angle you're viewing from. - Not relating to the monitor, but Samsungs customer support is TERRIBLE! I hope this review helps - the culmination of buying over 4 dongles, 3 wires, countless customer support hours and Youtube videos wasted.

After extensive research, I finally purchased this monitor. I was initially looking at HDMI 2.1 monitors, but seeing as there aren’t many games that can run 120fps, there was just no point. This monitor is perfect, the colours are fantastic (better than my friends 2.1 monitor hands down) and it’s so easy to set up and use. I haven’t noticed any screen tearing or slow responses. I play both competitive shooters and open world games and every single one looks fantastic - especially at 4K 60fps. If you buy this monitor I promise you won’t be disappointed. One slightly annoying this is the fact it doesn’t have speakers, but I mainly play with headphones. I did buy a cheap pair of gaming speakers from B&M for around £20 (see picture) and they are more than fine as they just plug into the aux input.

I got this to go with my new Xbox One S, my initial thoughts were not good, the picture didn't look any different to my old 1080p monitor which this replaced, however after about a half hour of fine tuning I am very impressed with the 4K resolution! Forza Horizon 4 looks stunning, you can make out an awful lot more detail in 4K. It also works perfectly with my Windows 10 PC which has a Nvidia 1050ti, it runs very well in 4K, Battlefield V looks particularly good!! I have the Xbox in HDMI 2 60hz and the PC in HDMI 1 30hz and both work without a problem. 4K You Tube videos look stunning and I have tried The Revenant and Alien 4K via Xbox, again both look stunning. Overall a good monitor, obviously better ones are available but if you are on a budget this is very well priced!! Recommended...

Hasta ahora estaba usando un monitor curvo de Samsung 1080p de 27' y si lo comparo con este nuevo es un salto bastante importante, sobre toto por el 4K y el HDR. En Xbox One X los juegos se ven impresionantes y en PS4 estándar, aunque no tengo 4K, el monitor es capaz de representar muy bien los 1080p, incluso mejorando la nitidez de mi anterior monitor, ya no se si aplica alguna especie de escalado inteligente o simplemente usa 4 píxeles para representar un píxel en 1080p, pero la verdad es que es bastante superior a la calidad de otros que he probado en el pasado con 4K que al mostrar 1080p la imagen se veia algo borrosa y distorsionada. Por otro lado el PC lo he conectado con Displayport y funciona perfectamente a 4K 60hz y con HDR. Lo mismo con el puerto HDMI 1 donde he probado la XBOX. Ya no sabria decir si el puerto HDMI 2 también es capaz de llegar a 4K 60 Hz ya que no lo he comprobado (lo comento porque si que he visto que hay modelos de Samsung de esta gama que el segundo HDMI solo admite 4K 30Hz). Algunos aspectos negativos que le veo a este monitor son que, por una parte, el soporte no permite ni cambiar la altura ni cambiar la inclinación, es totalmente rígido (aunque se agradece que sea compatible con soportes Vesa). Por otra parte, el hecho de que la pantalla no sea curva, ya que estaba acostumbrado a ella, aunque por el precio que tiene el monitor es más que comprensible, existen modelos similares más caros con la pantalla curva. También puede ser un inconveniente para alguna gente que no lleve altavoces integrados, aunque en mi caso he comprado una barra de sonido bastante econòmica que solventa el problema y que seguramente por el mismo precio es bastante mejor que la que podrían integrar encareciendo el producto. De momento encantado con el producto, más adelante ya comentaré de nuevo para ver si ha cambiado la cosa o sigue funcionando tan bien. ----------------- Actualizo: Si se puede reclinar un poco, pero al principio da respeto porque hay que forzar un poco.

El monitor cumple sobradamente con las expectativas. La calidad del monitor es muy buena para el precio que tiene y sobre todo para ser un panel TN, está claro que se trata de una versión mejorada de estos paneles ya que los colores son muy vivos (casi igual que en los paneles IPS) al igual que el brillo y el contraste. El ángulo de visión para mi no es un problema ya que estoy enfrente del monitor. La mejora que he notado respecto a mi antiguo monitor (BenQ XL2420T de 24" FullHD y 120 Hz) es la claridad de imagen, se nota mucho la resolución 4K en todo. La mejora es muy significativa cuando estás realizando tareas ofimáticas como leer documentos o cuando navegas por Internet. El único inconveniente es que con tanta resolución tienes que ampliar el tamaño de todo porque si no es excesivamente pequeño, pero es algo muy sencillo en Windows 10 y se puede hacer de forma automática. Respecto a los juegos también es espectacular jugar a 4K si tu gráfica lo permite, al tener un monitor gaming a 120 Hz tenía cierto miedo de notar la bajada a 60 Hz pero gracias a la tecnología Freesync (requiere gráfica AMD, yo tengo la 290) y 1ms de velocidad de respuesta la verdad es que no se aprecian problemas de fluidez en general. También he tenido que poner algunos juegos a 2K por falta de rendimiento de la gráfica y se ven con muy buena calidad. El único punto negativo del monitor es que no se puede regular en altura pero lo he solucionado poniendo un paquete de folios debajo, o siempre puedes utilizar un soporte Vesa. Para concluir muy buena relación calidad precio. Compra muy recomendable.

Top monitor maar je moet m afstellen anders kloppen de kleuren niet en zit er een waas over het beeld. Zie Rtings recentie op google.

Wow! Overwhelmed and Blown away with the quality of this product. Had ordered an AOC 4K monitor, the seller sent a ripped apart piece so returned, had to take some loss too, but needed a 4K monitor for my Studio work urgently so placed an order with KIDA Retail. Was delivered as per schedule, rather one day earlier. The screen is big! Anti-glare. Had to adjust the brightness and contrast to meet my editing requirements. Pros: 60Hz with DisplayPort1,2 Though it's a TN panel amazing viewing angles. Gorgeous design. Single Toggle button for settings It's not wobbly as some reviewers mentioned. Because I have a Dell monitor which wobbles like a Channapatna doll when I type. Cons: Calibration would be a nightmare with Samsung monitors. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have placed the monitor on top of an Amazon Basics monitor stand, which is perfect for my eye level. Has a loop for cable management, which is great.
