Hello,

Is anyone familiar with this type of monitor?? Considering either the 32" or the 27" due to lack of space.

I have an old Samsung 27" 1920x1080 now and like to get something better and I do like Samsung stuff. At the moment I only have the EVGA 1070SC 8 GB card

which I will upgrade if and when 30 series cards are available.

Any opinions??

Thanks

 

Its a nice monitor.

You cannot go wrong with Samsung.

The specs are good, 2K with HDR, curved screen.

The curved screen with definitely will give you immersions 

If wide aspect ratios isn't something you are looking for (21:9/Ultra Wide HD) then this is a good one.

Thanks for your reply, spend a lot of time looking at other monitors and this one caught my interest. We are at a lockdown here so I can't take a look

at one in the store.

 

Yeah, same here.

Seeing your location, you located in Canada?

If you are, Canada computers (bigger store) has many monitors on display for the size you are looking for.

I have the the 32-inch G7 version and I couldn't be happier. Its great in pretty much all aspects and to me deserves a perfect score. I came from a 35-inch Ultrawide BenQ and went back to widescreen due to better compability with some games I like and I don't really miss the UW at all. If you decide to get it, make sure to get the latest firmware(1009.3) so you don't suffer the flickering issue when using G-sync. For some, the 1000R takes some getting used to, but for me coming from 1500R it wasn't such a huge difference.

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated, I have one other question regarding this monitor, how difficult is it to get used to a curved monitor? eye strain,

neck etc, I have never used one.

Thanks

I think that will be individual for each usecase. For me personally it didn't take any getting used to at all. The 1000R is designed to match your eyecurve when sitting at aprox 1m from the monitor, so if you are sitting far away, the curve might a little to much. Regardless, there is zero eye strain or any other physical issues, it works just as any other monitor.

Thanks for your reply, I am sitting about a meter away form my current screen to to eyesight, I find that I have a bit of eye strain at the moment (maybe age related) so looking forward to picking one up as soon as possible. Not easy now due to the lock down here.

Thanks

I'm also interested but seems expensive for a VA panel? Isn't IPS supposed to be much better?
