Samsung LS27E330HZX/ZA 27-Inch Gaming WQHD Monitor (1ms / 60Hz / Game Mode)

Ive been using Samsung monitors for many years. I have several that are close to ten years old and still working. Never had a stuck or dead pixel, ever. Some printed instructions for this monitor would be nice, but they dont exist other than some small pictures. Online instructions werent that great either. I bought two of these monitors and had to return one. That was when I discovered that you can tilt the thing forward or back. It was leaning forward on the stand when I set it up, which I hated. I was going to put something under the stand to fix it, but I found that if you hold the stand and push (or pull) the monitor from the top you can indeed adjust it. I must have missed that picture on the instructions! Getting the stand on the monitor was easy. Getting it off, not so much. That was when I discovered that you can tilt the thing. You have to tilt it all the way to get the monitor off of the stand. The other issue is with that lame control button on the back. Now that Ive figured it out, its really pretty nice. Heres a tip: To get into the control panel you first push the center button, then push the outer UP button, then push the center button again. The first time I managed to get into the control panel, I had no idea how I had done it, but I later figured it out. Once you are in the control panel, you can figure out how to maneuver around in it. I guess things have changed, but I could not find a way to move the display around on the screen. Maybe you dont have to do that anymore, I dont know. On the monitor that I returned, the display was too high, so that I couldnt see the top bar on a fully expanded window. I just had to guess where the mouse pointer was to pull the window down. I think I hit a "reset to default" or something in the menu and I think that must have been what fixed it. There were other problems with the monitor so I sent it back. The seller has been very attentive and cooperated with me during the whole event. I ordered a replacement monitor.

So far monitor is great! For the price, it cant be beat. Im not a stickler for dead pixels and such... unless I notice something. Mind you... I dont notice any issues and the monitor is perfect! Just installed on the mount, plugged in, hooked it up... and turned it on.

really nice screen... love the "on button" - you just pass your finger under it and it turns on.... great for me with my arthritic hands means I dont have to use any pressure or strength.... all the settings options are the same... LOVE IT! also screen was way too bright when I first turned it on - but adjusting it to suit my needs was super easy! also - its a second monitor for me - I have a Brix - so got a hdmi cable and an hdmi to display port adapter and hooked it up - worked perfectly on arrival! and I run linux on my system too! also - not too hard for me, an old 61 year old woman with arthritis in her hands, to put together... so, most anyone can do it.... Love Samsung - great quality (my other monitor is a Samsung too)

I paid $149.99 for this on black Friday. Compared to my other monitors, this thing is absolutely huge and looks amazing. Do not know that I would call it a gaming monitor, but GTA 5 and every other game I have played on it looks great to me. Then again I am not a huge gamer, so taking my opinion on gaming is probably a bad move. Regardless, it is a good brand with a great picture, and for the price I paid I am quite happy. Like a lot of the other reviews have mentioned it does have a big d pad style button on the back for all the controls. Would it have been nice to have the buttons in the front or on the bottom, sure, but who really uses the settings on a monitor anyway? Maybe you use the button a few times to get the settings you need, then you probably never touch the button again. The computer tuns the monitor on/off for you. Apparently there is some sort of software you can install to control the settings with the keyboard/mouse, but who needs the extra bloatware for something you will use once or twice. If I had any complaints about the monitor at all, it would have been nice to have displayport. I will probably eventually replace my other two monitors with this monitor, and modern graphics cards have mostly displayport connections.

We... (my wife and I) were using 24" widescreen ACER Monitors, no complaints had been using various ACER monitors for years. When these came up on sale I mentioned it to my wife and she instantly approved my idea to purchase. ( I mean come on they are Samsung). We got them put them on our desks and were instantly blinded on how bright they were. You WILL have to adjust the brightness down mine are at 50%. The view field on an average game desk it huge and in you face. Depending on game style, you will probably have to sit back a little, get a larger desk, OR (my solve) get mounting arms so they sit further back. They are sharp, clean, and do not flicker. I play various games (EverQuest II, World of Tanks, Assassins creed, Civ.) All have played beautifully, with excellent frame rates, on these monitors, running AMD CPU, and a 1060 GTX Nvidia GPU. The only thing that would have made these screen absolutely perfect is if they had been ultra thin..

This monitor looks great,and has a price to match. My gaming rig isnt high end enough to warrant a 4k monitor, but Im not disappointed at all. This has great picture quality, and the gaming mode really sharpens details. The menu controls, as some have pointed out, are a little hard to get used to at first, but its become second nature after using it for a while.

It is much better on the eyes than my former monitor. It weighs almost nothing so it works fantastically with my monitor arm, and the eye-saving technology does reduce my eye strain. How? I dont know. But this works well with both my mac and pc laptops.

This is the perfect size monitor. The HD quality is great. I purchased 2 of these on black Friday spent less than $200. These monitors are way underrated and under priced. The go great in my recording studio! Buy one and see!

Great deal! Love it! I had another one just like this and got a 27" monitor from another vendor. It looked like crap compared to the Samsung. So I took it back and found another S27E330. Even though its a year newer than my other one, the screens look identical -- same brightness, same resolutions, same colors. Ive had a lot of Samsung monitors and have always found them to be very bright, sharp, and reliable.
