“Reliable 27" Screen with Clear Picture and Easy SetupReliable 27" Screen with Clear Picture and Easy Setup: I’ve been using the Samsung 27" Essential S3 (S36GD) for a couple of weeks now, mainly with my Xbox, and it’s been a really solid upgrade from my older 24" screen.Setup was easy I just plugged it into my Xbox and it worked right away with no issues. The jump to 27 inches is definitely noticeable. Everything feels more immersive when gaming, and even smaller details are…”
“Good quality but power light doesn’t shut off: only reason i won’t give it 5 stars is because the power light doesn’t turn off. it just blinks nonstop if the monitor is asleep, which isn’t a huge deal but it’s a bit annoying. otherwise, it’s a very nice monitor with good graphics and works super well for everything i need for school & work.Read moreRead less”

“Best monitor I’ve bought in 40 years - Beutiful: OMG My husband and I love Samsung brands! I’ve had my previous monitor for over ten years ( not Samsung) and it was “ok” but I read about blue light built in protection since I have chronic eye strain from too much screen time for work ) I decided to try this and GAME changer ! The curved ( had flat screen before ) helped both eyes and neck as view is more natural and the reduce eye strain feature is incredible ! I like a…”
“Get it!Get it!: It's a great monitor. The color quality is fantastic. I like that it has a built in blue light filter, BUT the blue light filter is a bit ridiculous. I will still use blue light glasses. It was super easy to set up. I am however having an issue getting my speakers to connect. I currently have very old, very cheap speakers though so I think I'm due for some new ones. I am able to bluetooth connect my headset though. It's a great price for what you get. I'd…”
“for a budget monitor I couldnt be happier with it: I snagged one of these along with one of the flat monitors for a new system recently. The flat model was $149, while this one was $119, and yet this one is worlds nicer than the flat model. The colors are more even, the blacks are darker, the menu has more options, and as someone that has never had a curved model before I think it looks amazing. If it weren't such a pain to return the flat model and get a second one of…”
