Samsung C27HG70 27-Inch HDR QLED Quantum Dot Curved Gaming Monitor (144Hz / 1ms) Model C27HG70QQN

التعليق

Ive been using the 32" monitor for the past month. The picture looks better and better every time I turn it on. I also own samsungs ks9500 65" TV, I bring this up because both this monitor and some larger TVs are curved. Ive used the TV for over a year and have never felt like the curve has made much of a difference. That couldnt be more opposite regarding this monitor. My 65" tv has a 4,200R curvature which means at the right viewing distance the picture should feel more immersive. SHOULD but doesnt. This monitor has a much greater curvature (1800R) and because you sit closer it surrounds you. In simple terms, it basically turns your computer desk into a miniature gaming IMAX. Ive been playing overwatch and skyrim and with both the fast paced motions of the first person shooter and the endless amounts of trees in skyrim this monitor doesnt miss a detail. Colors are deep and rich. Motion is smooth and fluid. The stand is big and isnt the easiest to make room for but has a lot of adjustment settings and positions. It also comes with a wall mount. This monitor does not have speakers but the quality and detail in the picture makes up for it. Awesome monitor

First of all, I do love this monitor for the 144hz and Quantum Dot color picture quality, and deep black level resulted from VA panel. But mine does have an issue with unit powering back on (wake on sleep) after it goes into sleep mode. The display will not power back on after sleep no matter what I do. This issue has nothing to do with cabling signal, or software version. I could plug any active HDMI or display port device (PC, Amazon fire TV, PS4, Google chrome cast), but the display appears dead after sleep, and the only solution is to totally unplug the display power cable, and plugging back on and powering on seems to reset. But once it goes into sleep mode, same issue... monitor appears dead and wont respond to any input or display signal. Samsung, if you are hearing this, please acknowledge you do have an issue and come back with a solution please!

What an absolutely brilliant display!! I cannot stress how amazing this monitor is. The curve is just right and who can deny having a 32 144hz monitor?!? Gaming with this monitor is where everything will come together in a moment of absolute bliss. I did not get a bad VA panel, no burn ins from the manufacturer and no dead pixels. Now, here is where doing a little bit of research will do you some good. Dont listen to the other reviewers who, for some odd reason, thought this monitor didnt have a power button, well, it does. The single button on the back of the monitor is called a JOG button or multi-purpose button. If you guys just read the manual you would have all known that holding the button down for 2 seconds IS the power button.

Ive had this monitor for a little over a week and a half, and I feel I can give my impressions of it at this point. So far, the monitor is fantastic in almost every way. The color is amazing, the refresh speed is high (higher than my Sapphire Vega 64 GPU can handle when settings are maxed out on some games), good FreeSync range with the latest firmware (FreeSync 2!), and the HDR does add noticeably to the picture. As many have noted, its not full HDR. Full HDR is on TVs or monitors that cost several grand at least. But, HDR600 is an improvement over the standard color, and its better than the next best monitor with HDR in this price range, from AOC (maybe BenQ as well, but the BenQ is more expensive; both are only HDR400). The curve, while more than some others, is comfortable and doesnt create any blurring issues, though as with all curved monitors, its noticeable when viewing a static document. Luckily, this monitor is for gaming. That brings me to the one thing preventing me from awarding it 5 stars. Samsung used some kind of anti-glare laminate that creates a mild screen door effect. Im guessing the engineer wasnt a gamer. While anti-glare is important in a well-lit room, most often games are played with the lights low or off and window shades closed. The effect isnt noticeable from a distance (which makes me think it was designed for TVs), and you dont generally notice at all when playing. But when youre in a menu screen and only 2 feet or less from the monitor, you start to see the little edges created by that overlay. Shipping was fine, the monitor has no dead pixels. UPS had a one day delay where they didnt update me (irritating when I work from home to wait for a package!), but thats not Amazons fault. I snagged this for $480, right before the price went up, so I figure I got a good deal; its competitive with a couple of the newer monitors. The stand is massive; make sure your desk can handle it. It allows for very precise adjustments for height and angle, but Im probably going to order an Amazon Basics desk mount arm to save some space. That reminds me, it is VESA compatible. Just attach the included VESA plate to the back. I highly recommend this monitor for AMD gamers looking for the best FreeSync 2 monitors, and it will work fine with Nvidia cards (just no adaptive sync; if your card is beefy enough, you probably wont have screen tearing issues). For those complaining that it doesnt have GSync, remember that would boost the price to $700-800 (or more; thats the cost of quite a few 27"). If I have any issues, Ill update the review accordingly.

Well hello there. This monitor, is one of the best I have ever owned. Its a pretty amazing monitor. First off, testing HDR. I originally has an EVGA 1080ti FTW3, and later upgraded/sidegraded to the AMD Radeon VII. Options for the Nvidia were RGB, YCbCr 4-4-4 Limited, YCbCr 4-2-2 Limited. These are the only options. Now I will get this next part out before anyone tries to claim "you dont know what you are talking about". I set the Nvidia to "Full Dynamic Range" as it has its own separate option. So you cannot claim that I am full of it.... Options for the AMD were RGB Full (funny how they tell you its "full" which is a huge FU to Nvidia), YCbCr 4-4-4 Full, YCbCr 4-2-2 Full, and YCbCr 4-4-4 Limited. AMD does not have separate options for dynamic range. If you set RGB you get Full Dynamic Range, if you set YCbCr 4-4-4 Limited you get Limited Dynamic Range. Now having both the Nvidia and AMD gpus set to RGB with Full Dynamic Range, I ran tests. HDR content, Movies, and even HDR video games. The Nvidia cards have an issue where it doesnt display the proper colors, nor able to transfer from grey to black properly. There is serious BANDING issues (google banding for examples). Now why would the Nvidia card have banding issues? Well, the problem is Nvidias color compression. They are VERY heavy handed on color compression, on SDR content and crap 6 bit displays (6bit + frc) or basic 8 bit you wont notice it. But on a 8 bit + frc or 10 bit HDR monitor, the issue is shown in full light. Nvidia loses color data when compressing, causing visual issues, most notably, the banding. Its not a proven FACT. On the AMD, there is no banding, and it displays way more colors than the Nvidia (direct comparison proves it). This monitor is great, 1440p, 144hz, HDR, Freesync2, it just works. (lol). Now remember, this display is HDR600 certified, which means its peak nits are 600. So when playing games like The Division 2, after setting Freesync2 HDR mode, set the peak nits to 600 and it will adjust the game to fit your monitors specifications. If you have an HDR1000 monitor, you can set the peak nits to 1000. If you have an HDR400 monitor, you can set it to 400. Some games do not have an adjustment, which results in improper HDR content (Forza for example). My only gripe, is the haze effect. At a certain distance (close to your face) you can see a color haze. Now I have heard two things about this haze, either its the pixels themselves because of their alignment and how VA panels work, or its the glue between the panel and the panel protector. Either way, you only notice it when viewing solid colors (like a grey windows background). When watching video content or playing games, you dont notice it at all. This isnt enough for me to knock the monitor, as it doesnt effect video or gaming. I do hope that Samsung comes out with a 1440p 240hz 1/2ms HDR1000 monitor using OLED technology. That I would buy in a heartbeat. I feel like both graphics technology and monitor technology has been held back for some reason. We should have 1080p 480hz monitors with very fast response times. 1440p 240 hz. and 4k 120hz. ALL with HDR1000 certifications. But for some reason, we dont. It doesnt seem like they care to push the boundaries. Some might argue "but graphics cards cant keep up" but why should that prevent moving forward? If anything, pushing monitor boundaries would push GPU manufacturers to make faster products to handle the new monitors.... clearly, we have stagnated and people have become comfortable with it.... I mean, there was a time where new games would get very poor performance because current gen GPUs couldnt handle it, forcing GPU companies to actually increase performance so the game ran smoothly on the next gen. Now games come out, and it works on gpus made YEARS ago.... stagnation.

Just like everyone in the reviews state the QC is terrible. It came in defective, not even plugging it to my PC yet and the monitor already keeps flickering on and off. Tried using a different power cord, cables, outlets, computers, installed latest drivers from Samsung direct site, etc.. the monitor just refuses to work for me. I cannot recommend this monitor until Samsung ups there QC on there monitors like they have their phones. I would go back to Asus monitors for they have yet to fail on me.

This monitor is flat out gorgeous! I just installed it today and played a few games so I cant speak to long term topics. I have a nvidia GTX 970 and used the displayport cable and was immediately recognized. The colors were clearly much better than my Samsung 27" 1080/60, they popped! The brightness was a bit high, set at 100, so I moved it down to 75. I played Overwatch and SWTOR and I was just blown away! I cant overstate how awesome the picture and frame rate is! The monitor stand is not as bad as I thought. My desk sits next to the wall and my last monitor was pushed to the back which have me plenty of room to work. This monitor with the stand sits in about the middle of the desk with enough room to work if needed. I have a pull out keyboard tray so the distance is perfect for me. With the curved 32 inch display which the refresh rate and mind blowing colors, it really feels like you are being pulled in the environment of the game that you are playing. I did not experience any monitor sleep issues like others reported or any other issues of that matter. No dead pixels, no light bleed, no screen tearing with the nvidia card and viewing angles are great. I am assuming that this batch of monitors were loaded with the latest firmware. The menus on the monitor is a pleasure to use which is something that I am not used to. The blue light in the back is barely noticeable even with the room lights off so nothing special there. I am keeping the box just in case I need to RMA it or have any other issue in the near future and I also registered it with Samsung for the 1 year warrantee. I got this monitor on sale too so thats a bonus. My wife was not happy when I told her that I spent the money on this monitor. After it was set up and I showed it to her, I didnt hear any more complaints! Haha. I highly recommend this monitor and I cant overstate the quality of the image especially compared to the price of the competition!

Died within a year, pretty common problem with this panel. Warranty service charged 150 fee for physical panel damage. Monitor has been shipped back to them in perfect condition.

I bought this monitor about 9 months ago and initially loved it. However, about 4 months after getting it the display port completely stopped working which meant no 144hz so I sent it in for repair. The repair took about two weeks and I got it back, everything worked fine for about a month and then the display port stopped working again. I sent it in again, got it back, and now HDR does not work. Whenever I try to turn on HDR the monitor recognizes HDR then goes black for a few seconds before coming back on without HDR. It recognizes HDR and goes black again for a few seconds. Just repeats over and over. I sent it in for a third repair, explaining the issue to multiple people with every single detail I could. They said the couldnt replicate the issue and sent it back to me unchanged. This has been extremely frustrating and inconvenient to be without my monitor for so long. I do not recommend this whatsoever. Im to the point where Im going to just let go of HDR -- a major feature -- because its just too much of a hassle to keep sending it in over and over for repair.

I contemplated buying this monitor for a few months. Every time that I would go to purchase it I would read the reviews and decide to wait. After looking and looking at monitors, I finally decided to take my chances. Im glad that I did. This is an amazing monitor. The HDR quality is very impressive but you do have to remember that this is rated at HDR600 not 1000. That said the picture quality is wonderful. Freesync works flawlessly with Vega64 and ThreadRipper 1950x. There were no dead pixels. There was no damage of any kind. I have this Vesa mounted along with a touchscreen Acer and a Sony Bravia 40 inch. Games are taken to a whole nother level with this beast. Do yourself a favor and go with it. Its worth it and at a decent price for what it is.
