Curved WQHD QLED Gaming CHG70

I bought this monitor to go with my laptop. Now I should explain I have a Alienware 13 R3 laptop which has an OLED display at 2560x1440 resolution. This monitor was never going to be able to compete with that at all. OLED is simply incredible.This monitor has a purpose though. Be large enough to enjoy my games a little more, have decent colour and also have a fast refresh. 1920x1080 is a great resolution to game at when your GPU is only a GTX 1060 in a laptop.The monitor was easy to set up and the on screen display is easy to navigate and set up everything you might want. I went online to find the best settings to use. my laptop has both HDMI and also Display port. I found than on HDMI I was limited to 120hz and I had to use display port to get the full 144hz. Though I am not sure the 24hz you lose will make a difference. It comes with the cables you might need.Colours are actually really good now I have tweaked the settings a little. Blacks are good, and there is a good level of detail to an image. The quantum dot makes a difference.the only complaint I could have is that the stand brings the monitor very far forward and is pretty large.

I bought this monitor to replace my 5 year old previous Samsung tv/monitor so arguably the jump in quality will be big for me. I think if you compared this to top of the range OLED TVs our there then it won’t seem that great. But when you take it for its merits it’s an absolutely brilliant monitor.I bought it for both Xbox one X gaming and when I work from home on PC. You can set up three hot swappable button/modes so I have one set up for Xbox with max settings enabled, and one set up for PC for good on your eyes, eco, best colours ect ect.I must also point out that currently this is the best monitor to use your Xbox one X on to get the absolute best gaming experience. It works almost plug and play with Xbox one X when you mess around with the Xbox side settings, you will then be able to play at 120Hz 1440p gaming. Which is quite mad for consoles. Arguably the monitor can do 144hz if you switch it to 1080p.All in all, this monitor is just the best setup for somebody who wants both PC for work and the casual game on console. It has 2x 2.1HDMI ports, and 1x DisplayPort which I use for the PC. The monitor will turn on and off when you switch off the console or PC and there is no other input on. If there it one on it will automatically switch to that input. I literally never have to touch the monitor for anything it always knows what to do, since I only ever have 1 system in at once. The other HDMI I use for regular PS4 which also looks great on this monitor.It looks great when on a floating stand too!

This monitor is fantastic for both gaming and watching movies/tv shows. The Quantum Dot technology helps to produce an incredibly vibrant display, and the response time combined with the low input lag is quick enough for fast paced shooters. I came from the ASUS VG24QE, to the C27HG70 (The 1080p non-HDR version of this monitor) and then to this, which is a substantial upgrade. 1440p + 144hz is the sweetspot right now for gaming on a 27" display. (32" 1440p is the same PPI as 24" 1080p whereas 27" gives a sharper image) The rated 1ms response time only reduces the motion blur, not the actual response time of the display which also locks the brightness. I just leave the response time on standard, the rate is low enough for me to play games such as CSGO, COD and BF without any issues.The HDR capability works well in the games i have tried (BF1, SWBF2, Destiny 2) The colours appear to be less intense at first compared to when the feature is turned off, but the image is much more accurate and true to life. BF1 and Destiny look stunning.I would have given this 5 stars but there are a few issues I have had to deal with.-I returned the first monitor as it has severe bleeding which made it unwatchable for content with dark backgrounds, the second display i had to RMA because the screen would output the image with horizontal fuzzy/blurry lines. The display i am using now has some glow/bleed but it not really noticeable if i am sitting directly in front of it. I believe this may be an issue with most IPS and VA panels.- The stand forces the display to come out much further than every other monitor I have had. So much so that i have had to move my desk a few inches away from the wall so there is a big gap between the wall and the back of my desk. I have no idea why they couldn't just use similar stands to what companies such as ASUS and BenQ use for their gaming monitors.Overall, I am very pleased with this display. It looks very modern and the curvature adds a nice aesthetic feature. 1440p, 144hz, QD make it one of the best monitors for gaming you can currently buy. If Samsung could fix the manufacturing defects, backlight bleeding and the stand with a revision or upgrade, it would be 5 stars all round.
