4 out of the 6 reviews on the Samsung store page are people complaining about how they didn't get a Resident Evil game code and giving the monitor a 1-2 star rating because of it.
I looked around for additional reviews for this specific monitor. Google's summary of ~800 (?) reviews:
What people are saying
Reviewers highlight the monitor's excellent display, praising vibrant colors, deep blacks, and clarity. The speed is a major selling point, with users noting fast response times and smooth refresh rates. However, build quality receives mixed reviews, with some finding it sturdy and others finding certain plastic parts lacking.
OK I've been using this for a minute and got it at this $200 price which has been here (or very close) for at least a months now virtually non-stop. So consider $200 to be the normal price, and it's a decent monitor at $200 but that's about where the MSRP should be and not $500 which is laughable. Here's my thoughts since there's basically no reviews on it that aren't free product or complaining about the RE promo.
The good:
Motion handling is really smooth and good. Best I've had other than OLED.
The UI controls are easy to use.
Looks good enough in games.
It's competitive with other monitors in the price range.
The bad:
Terrible viewing angles for modern IPS. The edges of the display at normal seated distance have clear fall off dimming and color shift even when dead center. It's honestly worse than the better modern VA panels I had tried leading up to ordering it.
Not the worst light bleed I've had on IPS but not great.
The default settings are horrifically blown out and had to be reduced by about half across the board to not clip. Still not anything I would consider accurate after eyeballing it but it's better.
The settings are terrible, I can't find any way to access some of the options at all like response time, some don't appear to do anything, and there's also things like "local dimming" which this monitor doesn't support at all.
The stand is worthless, arm mount it.
Terrible customer support when my order was delivered to the wrong house and didn't want to do anything to resolve it.
If they're still offering the RE code you won't get it, I didn't get it, they ran out months ago.
TLDR Not a $500 monitor and never was, $200 is basically the real price and usually is $200-300 on EPP/EDU. I don't regret it at $200 compared to similar options but wouldn't have wanted to spend any more on it since you can get a better IPS for around $250 regularly and QD-OLED are around $300. Good enough for now but I'll replace it when there's a big enough deal since it's decent in games but nothing special either.
