Samsung UE590 UHD-QHD Monitor U24E590D 23.6-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor

التعليق

Been using this display with my late 2016 15" MacBook Pro for 5-days. Once I used this 4K monitor, I sure do not want to go back to the old HD monitor. One note of caution to people that use this monitor with an HDMI cable. To get 3840 X 2160 @ 60 Hz, the HDMI cable MUST be connected to HDMI port 2. HDMI port 1 only supports 30 Hz. Info about the HDMI 2 port supporting 60 Hz is buried in the PDF manual on page 19 and it is easy to miss.

Best Features: Color, sharpness, and viewing angles are impressive. High resolution photos look great, much better than 1080. In side-by-side comparison with a more expensive IPS monitor, the more expensive monitor usually wins, but not always. In some cases, the Samsung colors look more natural. Very light weight, about 10 pounds without stand. Worst Features: The VESA mount is poorly positioned at the very top edge of an already tall monitor. (See photo) Portrait mode isnt stable because the VESA mount is so far off center. Unless you have a very tall monitor arm, youll wont have much vertical range. I worked around this problem by adding extra pieces ($30 each) that give 4" of additional height. Quality Issue: No dead pixels, but one of the two monitors I received cannot display UHD at 60hz as advertised. It took me a frustrating hour to figure this out, staring at a black screen. After lowering my graphics card output to 59Hz, it works fine. I never use the "Eye Saver" mode, which ruins color and contrast. Even with shortcomings, I enjoy these monitors.

Pros: Response Time is excellent I was able to get 60hz on the HDMI 2.0 port 2 color is vibrant, integrated game mode is okay built very sturdy, nice firm stand (a market rarity in this price range), TN panel is resistant to shock and heat. Cons: Some LED backlight bleeding out of box HDCP 1.4 Compliant as opposed to the current HDCP 2.2 standard, so streaming HDCP 2.2 compliant content (netflix included) and some UHD blu-rays in full quality is impossible, as the 1.4 standard forces the content to return to 1080p quality. I spent 2-3 hours on the phone with netflix tech support before we determined this issue. This should be made clear in the tech specs! Dishonest marketing. So essentially my unit is dead-weight for streaming UHD content. Be Warned. Also the price is competitive yet roughly the same as newer monitors on the market. This should be changed to reflect the age of the model (2014).

The viewing angle changes the contrast, gamma and saturation so dramatically this monitor is unusable for text or programming (and worse for photography). I spent a lot of time trying to adjust the brightness/saturation and gamma but no matter what I did the monitor never looked "right" and after a few minutes was extremely fatiguing to my eyes (compared to the two Dell monitors I currently use). I dont really understand why its super fatiguing, but even if it wasnt the picture quality is just awful.

For a 4k monitor at this price, its a good deal. The picture is good enough that you can tell its 4k, but the colors arent vibrant. The picture will not blow you away, its standard 4k. There are 1080p monitors with much better picture, but that doesnt mean this monitor is bad. You just wont get the samsung quality picture that you would expect. Im really skeptical about the 1ms response time, I dont believe it. I had a 1080p monitor with 1ms response time and this monitor feels slower. If someone could verify the 1ms response time using software, that would be helpful. The stand is normal, you can tilt the monitor up or down and there are no problems (some people said it was difficult to do so, they lied). I only use headphones so the speakers werent tested. I use the monitor for my ps4 pro, and so far it has been reliable.

The viewing angle is so bad that, sitting square onto the monitor, a white background will be cool and blue in the middle, and warm and red at the edges. Perhaps some can ignore that, but I find it very distracting. Certainly the quoted viewing angle numbers are fantastical. The stand is flimsy and the monitor shakes easily because of that. There is a VESA mount at the top of the monitor but, once inserted, *the stand cannot be removed*.

Update (2017 August 11): My monitor went completely dead (no power indicator) after about a week. Samsung service was very helpful and mentioned that there had been increased incidence in power adapter failures with the recent batch of this model that happened to be the one Amazon promoted for Prime Day. I was given the option to either have a new power adapter shipped to me or to send in the monitor to be serviced (which could just end up being the adapter). I elected to try the new adapter first. The estimated time was 7-14 business days, but I received it in 3. Sure enough, that was the issue. Otherwise, really loving 4K gaming and UHD content from Netflix and Amazon Video my Xbox One S. -------------------------- Original Feedback: Just wanted to post the details that the Xbox One S outputs for this monitor. Note that HDR10 video content is not supported.

I did a lot of research on PC monitors before purchasing. I just got a new gaming PC with the GTX1080 from GeForce and wanted a monitor that would showcase the high-end graphics card. This monitor fit my needs within the budge I had. I am very pleased. Although only one inch larger than the monitor this Samsung product replaced, I can honestly say the colors are crisp and vivid. The only thing I dont like is the on/off switch is like a teeny-tiny joystick on the back of the monitor. Its a bit confusing to use. I am rather used to a on/off button on the front with another button to the item menu. Also, the monitor is a bit top heavy, which is not a big deal as long as I remember to grab it up on the sides and not by the base. Overall, Im glad I went with this Samsung monitor.

Fantastic monitor for the money. Was concerned a bit cause some of the reviews were pointing out different faults. Forget those. I was glad I didnt listen to those people. No issues at all, the colors are vibrant, it wakes up from sleep when the computer does, the stand yes its a bit weak, but really, who touches the monitor when you set it up? Some made a big deal about angles of view, what are some of these people talking about?? Can see the screen with no problems even standing at a 30 to 40 degrees angle from the front of the monitor. Get yourself one, you wont regret it. Only thing I can think of is Samsung got rid of all those glitches these finicky people were talking about. For the money, I got mine for $291.00 here, its totally awesome.

Ill start by saying I was unnerved reading some of the negative reviews for this monitor, but the price just seemed irresistible to me. Thankfully, I seem to have managed to avoid the problems a lot of reviewers have mentioned. The monitor is working exactly as it should be. I wouldnt say its perfect, but the negative aspects, particularly the somewhat-wobbly stand, bad positioning on the VESA mount, and confusing differences between the two HDMI ports are easy to deal with provided you know about them beforehand. This isnt entirely related but I feel like its worth mentioning anyway. Im using this monitor with my PC, Nintendo Switch, and Sony PS4 Pro, all of which were originally plugged into the monitor via my Goronya 3 Port HDMI Switcher, which Ive had for almost a year and a half and have had zero problems with. However, upon trying to use my PS4 Pro with it and this monitor, I had problems with consistently flickering and acting as if it were constantly switching to the second HDMI port, which the switcher was plugged into. Plugging it into the first HDMI port, which is 30 Hz while the second is 60 Hz, got rid of the problem, but having the PS4 Pro in that port defeated the purpose of using it in the first place. Assuming (and praying) it was a problem with the switcher and not the monitor I decided to try removing the PS4 Pro from the switcher and plugging it into the second HDMI port directly, which seems to have eliminated the problem entirely. Its a slight inconvenience having to switch inputs via the monitors menu rather than having everything accessible from the switcher, but Im just overjoyed that it isnt a more complicated problem. Just thought Id mention it here.
