Samsung Electronics LS32D85KTSR/ZA 32 Inch WQHD LED Monitor, Titanium Silver/Matte Black

I have owned a LOT of monitors in my 25+ years in the computer industry and this one is by far the best I have ever had. Lets get the shocking size out of the way, WOW this thing is huge! 32" is massive. My previous monitors were 27", this monster dwarfs them. My previous monitors were great for gaming but horrible for graphics work and they had a lot of light bleed. This monitor has outstanding color reproduction, 100% SRGB complient and required very little tweaking out of the box. I turned the dynamic lighting off as it annoys me when it dims in and out (as do all monitors with it turned on) and I turned up the contrast just a little to compensate. Just out of curiosity I ran my Spyder color calibrator on it and it did not need any calibrations at all, colors were spot on. No light bleed at all and no dead/stuck pixels. My graphics work color is dead on, no more guessing if the color will turn out right. I was a little concerned about gaming on it but I was happy to learn there is no perceivable ghosting plus with the higher resolution, color and no back bleeding light my games look amazing now (plus it is almost like gaming on a massive big screen). Make sure that if you are using Display Port to change the monitor option to 1.2, mine changed automatically so that was not a problem for me. I dont use the USB hub so I cant vouch for it. The monitor controls are on the front making any adjustments nice and each to do. It came with all cables for all imputs, VESA wall mount bracket and driver disk. I am very pleased with this monitor

Honestly the best monitor Ive used, so much so I want to ditch the two Samsung 24" monitors I have next to this one and replace them with another one of these 32" monitors. The design is beautiful and sleek, the viewing angles superb, the color is on point, and the multiple connectivity options is everything Ive needed. I use this monitor primarily for my PC, but also for my Xbox One through HDMI. Its easy to change over to my Xbox and back to my PC. Very little hassle. The extra quality is a must. I waited for ages to buy a 32" monitor because I didnt want to lowball it with a 1920x1080 screen. Ive used them before and the quality just isnt good enough for this size of a monitor. I was nervous to get a 4k screen at this size because I knew it would ultimately just shrink everything down too small in attempt to cram all those pixels into the 32 inches. Also 4k is still insanely overpriced for my budget. This monitor offers the perfect resolution, in my opinion. It looks great at close range and from far away. Seriously though, an amazing monitor. As a hard core gamer and web-developer, I want nothing more from a monitor than what this one gives me.

To start off, I ended up exchanging this monitor for the $450 Samsung C32HG70 because the 60Hz refresh rate was a very noticeable downgrade from my old 1080p 120Hz monitor in games. But, if youre not gaming, this thing is magnificent. It arrived without a single dead pixel, vibrant colors, and great packaging. The CHG70 is the same, so props to Samsung for QC. It also comes with all the cables you could ever need for it. The bezel is one of the thickest Ive seen, but its not obnoxious and the brushed metal finish looks quite nice. The stand is excellent - it feels sturdy, doesnt have a massive footprint, and gives you a ton of freedom with the monitor. The buttons on the bottom right feel a little mushy and hard to press, but youll hardly use them and they look nice, so who cares? I upgraded from my 17" 120Hz 1080p laptop display, the largest monitor Ive ever used being 24". 32" is *a lot*, but its also amazing. When I first unboxed it, I was hesitant about the size, but after using it Im worried Ill never be able to go back to 24". Combined with the 1440p resolution, theres a *ton* of screen space, which is very useful for multitasking and having multiple windows open, like for college work or coding (my coding productivity has gone through the roof thanks to this monitor). Overall, if youre gaming, Id recommend the $150 upgrade to the C32HG70, but for anyone else, this is a fantastic monitor that will destroy expectations.

I have two of the S32D850T monitors in my home office setup using my SurfaceBook dock and its the best monitor Ive owned. Period. I tried out two others including an LG 34" Ultrawide QHD and a 32" Samsung Curved QHD and ended up taking both back. Though mine are now on fully-articulating wall mounts, these are amazing using the stand which is spring loaded to make height, angle and landscape/vertical swap seamless. Picture quality is amazing, not too bright or exaggerated as you get with some Samsung monitors or too dim as I found with the LG Ultrawide. Build quality on this shows and the number of video connections is great. Note: It comes with a wall mount adapter but some have confused this as the actual wall mount. Let me clarify now that this simply allows users attach this to a VESA compliant mount so theres an extra cost there (as with any monitor). Trust me, buy it and dont look back.

This is day 2 of owning the monitor and so far, I extremely happy with the decision to purchase. The monitor is BIG and is great for what I use it for which is mainly coding software. I spend a ridiculous amount of time in front of my computer and a monitor this size with this resolution will definitely help alleviate the eye strain. Unpacking was easy. The monitor essentially came fully assembled and the only thing I had to do was to unwrap and connect. Setup was a little tricky but mostly because of me not ensuring the DisplayPort cable was pushed securely into the port on the back of the monitor. ( It took about 20mins before I decided to check this... :-( ) But after I properly secured the port, my world came alive in 2560 x 1440 brilliance and nothing else mattered!!! I am by no means an expert when it comes to color reproduction or topics surrounding this, however IMHO, the colors are beautiful; very rich, very vivid. The ease in which the monitor tilts, swivels and rotates is almost effortless. I love having the larger area to work within as most times, I have several instances of VS opened at the same time along with SSMS so having a larger resolution monitor facilitates this. All-in-All, I love this monitor and enjoy working in front of it.
