love the big screen but two main issues: 1) too few pixels. contrary to what the ads say, you don’t actually get better image quality, it’s just larger. the screen isn’t remotely close to a mediocre mobile phone screen. 2) flimsy cable trough and USB doesn’t charge my phone

I've had my Samsung CH890 for about 24 hours now and I'm just completely blown away by this monitor. I had a 29" ultrawide previously and I did not think the additional 5" diagonal screen size would be that much of a difference, but I was wrong. While working, I can have 3 windows comfortably sized into 3 columns. It really makes a difference to just glance to the left and right on the same screen vs. looking at a 2nd screen. I fired up a couple games and was also just completely floored how gorgeous and immersive everything looks. Here's a few random thoughts: +Displayport and USB-C inputs mean both my work laptop and my gaming desktop can be hooked up at the same time and take advantage of the 100hz refresh rate (FYI you may have to manually increase the refresh rate in Advanced Display Options). +Tested out picture-in-picture today and I'm sure it will come in handy. (Note: Your computer may see the PIP setup as a new screen so you'll have to update position, etc. Also PIP seems to lock the screen to 50hz.) +The default eco mode settings are great for office work, but it's quick to change to the Cinema profile for watching a movie (tested out with Blade Runner 2049, looked gorgeous) or the gaming profile. +Controlling all the settings with the control stick is pretty intuitive. After a day I'm able to zip around the options to experiment with some different settings. +I was a little worried about the lack of reviews, but mine has really clean, even picture, with crisp text. +Box was packed well, and makes assembly of the stand super easy. Leave the monitor panel in there while you assemble the stand and then you can snap it in with the monitor still in the box. The instructions show this but it's easy to miss. You'll need a coin or screwdriver for 2 screws on the base. Overall no real negatives so far (50hz picture-by-picture and picture-in-picture mode is a slight bummer, but it's a feature I'll only use occasionally). Will update the review if anything changes with more use.Read full review

This really is a great monitor. After lots of research I choose this one. The specs align with what I’m using it for (work and music editing/mixing). Received with no dead pixels. No problems after 1 year of use. The stand/screen is a bit wobbly which I don’t mind due to the tilt and height adjustments being smooth. Also, the stand comes with “cord management” which is nice.
