  • VESA mount?

    • Looks like 100x100 in pics

      • I dont use a VESA mount myself, but own this monitor and read a lot about it to solve other issues I was having, I believe you either need 75x75 or some kind of spacers to make 100x100 work

  • Not bad. Really want 32" or higher myself.

  • pretty good. I'd spring the extra $20 (via ebay, 20% off) for the Dell S2722QC to futureproof it with USB-C

    • hi Jetblack how do you get the 20% off on ebay?

        code PLZDELL (I think). The deal was posted here a few days ago, I think it's still active.

        • Thanks very much :)

    I bought one of these from JB a few months ago, at a much higher price, to replace a similar sized 10 year old Benq FHD monitor
    Unfortunately, I hate it and wish I never bought it
    I ended up swapping back to my old Benq and using this Samsung as an office television
    After spending many hours trying to make it look ok with windows at 200% scaling, I gave up, everything was soft, font scaling was weird no matter what I did with cleartype, third party versions of the same, sharpening settings, AMD radeon software, black levels, overdrive settings etc.
    I even bought a spyderx pro and calibrated to various NITS, color temps etc to try and make it work
    As soon as I swapped back to my ancient 1920x1080, everything looks fine again

    I should add, this was for office work / browsing etc, not gaming.

    The monitor gave me very bad eye strain, despite receiving various awards from German eye standards organisations, I ended up running it on about a brightness of 10. There is no PWM flicker with this monitor, but it was burning my retinas regardless of settings.
    YMMV of course, depending on your use case, windows 200% scaling and chrome image resizing were all contributors to the issue for me.

    • Yea scaling never works too well, you should get a 1440p monitor instead. I recently go the dell 1ms ips panel and it's fantastic. I wouldn't go 4k for work.

      • I read conflicting reports about scaling issues, I would assume 200% is easy to scale, as its 1 pixel becomes 4, but it appears that is not the case, I even took macro close up photos of individual single pixel black dots drawn in paint and 1px css lines etc.
        I suspect younger people would suffer less, a lot of people somehow run this monitor at 100 brightness to experience vivid colors, I cant handle that at all

          I never run at 100% brightness, more like 10-20%.
          Yea you would think windows could do scaling well, but it doesn’t. So don’t think it’s the monitor. The issue with scaling is how big of a job it is, and it’s all the text inside apps/sites etc. then there is images!!! Scaling is a massive issue, and one not solved easily at all. On a website scaling is pretty easy if you control all the assets.

          Try and buy a monitor that suits your preferred text size with native 100% scaling.

    I recently bought a new 2K 27 inch LG monitor and end up to using reading mode, or it will burn my eyes. It was just too bright for work.

  • Only the refresh rate is holding me back.. Good price indeed otherwise

  • 30 bucks more and get the 32 inch price matching this to this

      One is curved, one is flat or are my eyes cooked from too much screentime today?

      Err…Completely different monitors lol.

    Yeah my bad, no idea how to delete my comment tho..

    • All good - I wish it was right I'd be straight on to that!
