Samsung UH750 31.5" Screen LED-lit Monitor (LU32H750UMNXZA)

Comment

Its not fair that I give this monitor a 2 star review. Its not Samsungs fault that Amazon sold this as a new product and delivered a defective returned one. The box it came in was so large that USPS would not deliver it, so that was a trip to the post office. Once installed (no small feat) I discovered all of the settings had been "Customized" and the audio output from the 3.5mm jack was crackled and distorted. Amazon wouldnt replace the monitor but gave me full credit back (remains to be seen though). Now though, I cant buy this monitor at that price anymore PLUS I have to take it back to a UPS store for return shipment. I loved this monitor other than the audio issues it had, the QLED delivered the picture quality I was expecting and performed as I expected with my Xbox One X. It was just a shame that Amazon sold this as a new item and put us both through this hassle. Ive been a customer since the late 90s and noticing a clear change in the quality of goods being sold. Careful Amazon. That will end you.

- The auto-select display function did not work well. It did not always find what I had connected to it. - The manual display selection did not keep the screen on the display setting (HDMI, DVI, etc.) when I manually selected it. If the monitor did not sense the machine I connected to that display port, the monitor frustratingly automatically switched away from it. - The display for the Xbox One X looked very poor. No matter how I adjusted the backlighting, contrast, and brightness, the picture always looked off. My 1080p ASUS monitor looks better than this. - There is no height adjustment for this monitor. Since it is a TN panel, I was never able to find an angle that looked nice. There were always dark or light spots. - Would not recommend for Xbox One X

So instead of the power supply being part of the monitor and using a standard 3-prong power cable, it comes with a wall wart power supply and uses a barrel connector... a bit unusual to see on a monitor of this type in this day in age. Nevertheless, the issue is the DC port on the monitor is very flimsy and wont hold the jack in. One little nudge to the monitor or cable causes the monitor to lose power. It falls out very easily. One time reaching to plug it back in, the connector had gotten extremely hot and burned my hand. I was considering exchanging this monitor for a replacement but was told by a friend with the same monitor that his had the same issue. Not really sure what to do because otherwise its a great monitor. Update: I got a replacement monitor in. The plug is very loose on this one too but will at least stay in the jack as long as I dont touch the cord. Despite the good specs and price I couldnt recommend this monitor based on the poor power connector design. Beware that if you do buy it anyways that some of the third party sellers on here dont pay shipping costs if you need to RMA it as was my case!

Its possible I got a dud. My monitor was returned to Amazon. Color reproduction was HORRIBLE. Absolutely terrible. Did hours of research and calibration and could not achieve a visually satisfactory result. I was coming from a different TN monitor, so I dont believe my expectations were unreasonable. Panel had inconsistent backlighting and flickered. I used it 100% with an Xbox One X connected via HDMI in the proper port. Can confirm this displays 4k content on a gaming console and controls feel snappy and responsive...but there are plenty of other options out there with similar great response times and low input lag (most IPS monitors are similar enough for the majority of gamers). Would not recommend this for console gaming.

Update 12-14-2018: Revised from 4 stars to 3 stars. After much effort, I believe I was finally able to get the display to do what I purchased it for, which is to display UHD @ 60Hz as a computer monitor. I cannot give it more than 3 stars because it does not comply with the current HDCP 2.2 standard which I have written about below. Consequently, the monitor cannot be used to display any copyrighted content that uses the HDCP 2.2 standard or later. Since I will only use it as a desktop computer monitor, this limitation is acceptable to me. The blackout issue: It appears there were two causes for this problem: (1) The most current driver supplied by Gigabyte for their GV-N1030OC-2GI video card (v391.35) had some type of intermittent issue running under Windows 7. Nvidia has a later driver on their website (v417.35) that seems to have corrected it. (2) The HDMI 2.0 connector on the back of the monitor is somewhat twitchy running UHD @ 60Hz. Depending on the cable used, the signal sometimes drops out when the cable is touched. After testing multiple cables, the high speed cable that Samsung included with the monitor is the one that did not have this problem. The HDCP 2.2 compatibility issue: According to Samsung’s customer support representative, the monitor is only HDCP 1.4 compliant and *not* HDCP 2.2 compliant. HDCP 2.2 is not backward compatible with earlier versions. Since nearly all current UHD video cards require at least an HDCP 2.2 compliant monitor to keep a copy protected UHD video signal from blacking out, this monitor cannot be used to display copy protected UHD content with today’s hardware (HDCP as of Feb 2018 is on version 2.3, which I understand is backward compatible with v2.2). HDCP 1.4 monitors are obsolete with respect to HDCP 2.2 video sources and later. I believe the HDCP version and compatibility should be clearly stated in the monitor specifications, which was not the case when I purchased this. When everything works as intended, HDCP compatibility should only affect video content that is copy protected by its distributors. It should not otherwise interfere with using this monitor as a desktop display. Converter boxes: There are third party HDCP 2.2 to 1.4 external converter boxes available. The ones I found are only HDMI 1.4 and do not fully support UHD @ 60Hz. Those cannot be used in an HDMI 2.0 application such as this. Original 4 star review is posted below. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have had this a few days and the picture quality looks great. I have the 31.5" LU32H750UMNXZA, which I believe is a high quality VA panel. It has a higher contrast ratio and wider viewing angle than the 28" LU28H750UQNXZA, which is a TN panel. VA versus TN is a noticeable difference in technology, and both Samsung and Amazon should state more clearly the different tech in these two displays. In my opinion, Samsung should have assigned obviously different model numbers. Because they did not do that, the 28” and 32” listings and reviews for these monitors are lumped together here on Amazon, compounding the confusion. There were some technical difficulties in setting up this monitor. As others have said, port 2 is the only HDMI port that supports the published 3840x2160 @ 60 Hz. When displaying that resolution and frame rate, the screen blacked out at random times and the upper left corner showed the monitor rotating through source selections as if it had no signal. Once blacked out, the display would often not recover until the HDMI cable was unplugged and reinserted.

if you going to get this monitor PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE HDMI SLOT! or Use the DisplayPort Cable because first on the Left(Looking at it from the back) HDMI is 30Hz and middle one 60Hz. Also dont forget to change response time in the setting to FASTEST. If you have Nvidia GPU go Nvidia control panel and change the Hz to 60Hz with drop down menu. It comes with HDMI 2.0 Cable too and DisplayPort 1.2. make sure to calibrate the contrast and gamma because they are inaccurate and messed up with factory setting. So far the monitor is flawless and colors are great. Black is black and white is white. It is very decent monitor. Literally nothing else to say. It is just great monitor.

I searched for deal after deal for a 4k monitor to go with my recently purchased Xbox One X so i can have a 4k experience. I knew going into this I wouldnt be getting HDR buuut I kept thinking quantum dot would make up for that and honestly for me, it has. Granted I wiiiiish this had a better panel than the TN it has but honestly when youre gaming, youre not looking away from the screen or at an angle. If you are, then I dont know what youre doing lol. I will throw this out there and say watching netflix has been trash but im curious if it is due to not having 4k content to view. Games on the other hand look amazing. Gears of Wars 4 was so clear and just crispy. Fifa 18 looks insanely great as well. Being 60hz is perfect for the xbox as well since thats its max but if you were looking to use this for a PC like i might be doing in the future I would find something with 120hz juuust to be looking ahead. Though there werent many at a reasonable price with 4k. (or any?) I almost got something at 1440p with 120hz but I want to say I am glad I didnt as the color reproduction on games and just overall use has been better than I expected. I will also mention there isnt insanely noticeable light bleeding. its super minor probably due to being a TN panel. I had a VA? and it was bleeding everywhere on dark scenes. Another thing is someone mentioned it was too bright and I kind of agree but its not bad since you can definitely adjust it, but the colors.... the colors are nice. Did I already say that? OH! and another thing, Freesync. I have tried it but have no noticed anything. I was curious as if this only works through Displayport and a lot of sites said it is only through displayport but some believe it works on hdmi 2.0 but I havent noticed a difference with it on or off.. I have the appropriate cable as well by the way. So Im not sure there but if you know and care to let me know, thatd be nice. Anyway, I dont regret going for this monitor in the sea of monitors that are out there, just wish it was 120hz and this thing would be killer for my incoming pc..

I was stunned when I realized how large this monitor would be on my desk. I bought it for 4k gaming and it does just that perfectly. The colors look phenomenal, and I can play PUBG at ~30 fps on ultra with an EVGA GTX 1080 SC. I have to say though, that Far Cry 5 and Battlefront II do not work in 4k, the monitor keeps switching inputs and will lock up my computer, I havent figured out if this is an issue with the monitor, the game, or my PC yet. EDIT: My Corsair 500 watt power supply was insufficient and was causing the issues. I bought an EVGA 850 BQ which may be overkill but it was the best they had at the local BestBuy. Far Cry 5 runs very well in 4k on ultra settings, Battlefront II does not, when I lower the refresh rate to 30 hz it runs smoother but still too glitchy to actually be serious. So, Im not sure what the refresh rate should be, I tried using the monitor in 1080p again and it still looks phenomenal, so the screen runs silky smooth. I do have a complaint that there is a large amount of screen bleed, the attached picture displays it perfectly, and I think for the price that this is not acceptable. It defeats the purpose of having a quantum dot crystal display because the light bleed washes the colors out, and is most noticeable with images that contrast greatly. Overall. I am pretty satisfied because when you see some of the images with extremely vibrant colors, it feels like the image really pops because of how vibrant the colors can be, just disappointed with the amount of light bleed. The best thing about this monitor is that you can lean all the way back in your chair and not have to squint or lean forward at any time to see object far away in a game. Giant monitors help your posture!

Im having issues with the USB ports. If my PC power-supply is switched off, they dont work, forcing me to plug my keyboard into the tower itself rather than the monitor. I"m still working out why that is. Other than that, 32" is amazing real estate. 4k is a fantastic resolution. Color reproduction is solid and accurate. I use this monitor for Lightroom and Photoshop where color reproduction is crucial, and Ive been very happy so far. PS: Shipping is HORRIBLE. Box was terribly damaged but the monitor is functional so I kept it.

It seems like a great monitor. On delivery day, I thought about returning because of no hdr10 support, but I decided to stick with it. That was yesterday. Now today when playing on my Xbox x, I started noticing a flickering white screen when playing pubg. It actually happened a couple of times before it finally caught my full attention. At first I thought hell maybe it’s the game, but it never happened on my old 21’ Samsung tv for the last 14 years I’ve had it on any game. Will be returning tomorrow. It’s a shame, I really liked it. But I figured since it’s already having problems I might as well go back and buy one with hdr10 like I originally wanted. Also, this comes with an HDMI and DisplayPort, so no need to buy one of each separately, like I did because Amazon recommended it which made me think it did not come with either. UPDATE: This was my first monitor I bought. I didn’t know how to fix the flickering, which is by turning FreeSync off on the tv controls. Maybe the FreeSync on the Xbox can stay on but that’s what I’ve read. And this apparently happens on most monitors so not a manufacturer problem, although it doesn’t seem intended so maybe it should be?? Anyways bumped from 2-4 stars as I could have fixed the problem myself. But colors and the smoothness of gameplay were not as good as my 14 year old Samsung. When playing games like rocket league, the ball gets blurry around the side when playing fast, something to do with a low CMR I think.
