Samsung LU28R550UQUXEN 28" UR55 4K UHD Monitor - Ultra HD 3840 x 2160, HDR10+, Freesync, 2 x HDMI, Displayport, Dark Grey

After extensive research, I finally purchased this monitor. I was initially looking at HDMI 2.1 monitors, but seeing as there aren’t many games that can run 120fps, there was just no point. This monitor is perfect, the colours are fantastic (better than my friends 2.1 monitor hands down) and it’s so easy to set up and use. I haven’t noticed any screen tearing or slow responses. I play both competitive shooters and open world games and every single one looks fantastic - especially at 4K 60fps. If you buy this monitor I promise you won’t be disappointed.One slightly annoying this is the fact it doesn’t have speakers, but I mainly play with headphones. I did buy a cheap pair of gaming speakers from B&M for around £20 (see picture) and they are more than fine as they just plug into the aux input.

I had to specify what review this was for because amazon seem to be mixing in other reviews with the UR55 review. Now I cant comment on gaming. I dont play games. I do watch blu rays, and 4k content from Netflix and youtube. I do edit photos. First off I cant watch 4k Netflix in the app or on MS Edge. the screen keeps going dark for a few seconds. I am waiting for an HDMI cable as on displayport so not sure if that is the issue. Talking of HDMI, 2 ports one at 60Hz and one at 30hz. When using displayport the magic upscale and magic brightness options are not available. They are only available on HDMI. Another reason to change to HDMI. 4K youtube looks very nice and colours seem to be very good for photography. The HDR seems to work well. Viewing angle seems good, vertically and horizontally. I would say that its a very good 4K monitor. My previous montor was a 4K LG. I would say this is better

For whoever is reading,I received this monitor on the 18th Jan, and can finally write the review (date of writing 1st Feb).First of all, I want to say I'm really happy with how this monitor looks and performs. So please dont let anything you read below take away from it's performance or how 'happy' you would be if you bought it. Im considering getting another one of the next month or so.Now, the positives:- it's a very pretty monitor in terms of picture quality.- great entry level for 4k @60hz, so overall it's a very nice monitor if you're just working from home, gaming, editing video/photos like I am.- i have heard people complain about receiving the monitor with some dead pixels on edges - not the case for me.I do apologise for not being extremely technical, computer terms are foreign to me. But it's a good monitor - you'll be happy with it if you're looking to get into 4k visuals like I am.HOWEVER!The main reason Im buying this is the absolute hassle I went through to make sure my Macbook Air 2020 was showing content on the monitor in 4k @ 60hz.Given I work from home and speak to clients over zoom, my internet connection is extremely important. So an ethernet cable is necessary for me. Mixing this with the desire for 4k video, i had a problem.To save you the effort and energy I had to go through, I found the only way for it to work is to buy Apple's own adaptor (allowing you plug a hdmi, ethernet via usb dongle, and charge the laptop) within one dongle.Once the Apple dongle is plugged in and connected to the monitor, go to 'System Preferences', then 'Displays', click on the monitor, then hold 'options' as you click on 'scaled', then you'll see resolutions appear. Click on the 4k resolution, and then underneath the list, there is a button saying 'low resolutions'.By clicking on that, you'll be shown the refresh rate, and you can choose 60hz (30hz if you're nasty).I previously bought that dongle that plugs into both usb-c ports, and had 8 ports on it itself - it was great!But I soon realised i couldn't both charge the laptop, and display max settings on the monitor, given the one thunderbolt port on the adaptor.So, invest in the Apple dongle as I've found that that's the only one that works. I promise I'm not an Apple salesman - I actually hate the fact that they've done things like this. There are two dongles, so I'll send the link for the one I bought below:https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07XFYZLTJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Now for the negatives:- The holes for screws to mount the monitor are extremely high. So if your arms dont extend that high above your desk, the monitor could sit just above it, or worse, hit it.- It's also not VESA mount compatible. So find which mounts actually fit the holes provided. I had to improve with the mount I bought and literally drilled my own holes into them just to make it work.- the Menu is a bit finicky - mainly because there's only one button (the same setup as Samsung TVs with that one joystick button thing on the back of the TV).- As much as the manual says you can tilt the screen when on its monitor stand provided, mine doesnt...- Sometimes the settings for picture quality/colour etc are editable, and sometimes they're not. I'm not sure why, but it might be because something has been turned on/off before. While it could be my fault, they could have made it clearer that IF you change this setting, other settings are unchangeable.- There is some darkening of screen depending on which angle you're viewing from.- Not relating to the monitor, but Samsungs customer support is TERRIBLE!I hope this review helps - the culmination of buying over 4 dongles, 3 wires, countless customer support hours and Youtube videos wasted.

The monitor is fantastic in terms of screen. But remember that there is no up or down or tilt within the stand itself. Also there is no speaker / aux slot so you wont get any audio from the tv. But in terms of size, sharpness and colour, you cant go wrong. So depends what you want it for. I use mine as tv via my firestick and I enjoy 4k content on the monitor, for that use its sharp and well priced.

Mixed reviews on here but from my own experience a lovely monitor for office and play alike. It comes with its own stand which does not allow you to tip the screen back or forward very much. But I mounted it on a gas-strut arm which solved that.It took me a little while to realise the on off switch was a discrete button centre bottom.Vivid colours and a nice screen with a thin and unobstrucive bezel. Pricey but worth it.

The monitor is very sleek looking, and provides a great picture. I mainly use it for office work, but videos look great too.A few slight annoyances. The blue light is always on when turned off, and the stand goes quite far back taking up desk room, the menu is also a little awkward. But overall it is a good monitor that I would recommend.

Nice and bright with good colours. I'm at my computer pretty much all day and, so far, have found this monitor relatively easy on my eyes.Note: My review is based on typical 'office work', not on gaming-type use.

I've owned the Samsung LU28R550UQUXEN 28" UR55 4K UHD Monitor for about 18 months now and use it daily.Connection to Macbook Pro 2019 model:The picture quality is great once the monitor is up and running. Probably with other computers it's a great monitor, but with my Macbook Pro 2019 connecting it via the official Apple HDMI/USB thunderbolt dongle it's a disaster. I own two of the dongles and I get the same results with each one. When waking the Macbook from sleep, it can take up to 30 seconds for the picture to appear on the monitor. Worse case it doesn't appear at all and the monitor cycles through HDMI 1, HDMI 2, Display Port input modes trying to find a signal. Sometimes the only solution is to reboot the Mac to regain the connection, though that only happens around once a week. Once connected the picture is usually stable, though occasionally it flickers off and then comes back on again a couple of seconds later. That usually only seems to happen just after the Mac and screen have been woken up and have just gained a connection. The Apple HDMI dongle seems to get quite warm, not sure if that is the cause of the issue. Probably not though as this can happen after the Mac has been sleeping for a while. Whether these issues are the fault of Samsung or Apple not testing their products properly, I don't know. I also use the monitor with an old Mac Mini via the display port connection and that seems to work well and doesn't suffer the connection issues outlined above.Electromagnetic interference:When I first installed the monitor I had power extension leads with multiple power sockets sitting on my desk into which was plugged the power supplies for the monitor, laptop, phone chargers, Mac Mini computer, lamp etc. I found that straight after installing the monitor my Macbook Pro would regularly lose connection to the wireless mouse and keyboard to the point where it wasn't possible to work. I solved that issue by moving the power extension lead sockets onto the floor under my desk.Onscreen display:Now let's consider the onscreen display/menu. I've owned a few Samsung smart TVs, and I bought this Samsung monitor on the basis of my experience with the TVs which has been pretty good. I would have expected a UHD monitor to have a UHD onscreen display/menu, as do the UHD smart TVs. Seems that the onscreen display is limited to HD resolution, which looks bad in my opinion when it appears over an UHD image. Perhaps the engineering budget that goes into the TVs is higher than the budget for monitors?I hope this review helps you decide whether it is the right monitor for you. For me personally, I wish I had bought something else because primarily I use it with my Macbook Pro and the unreliable connection wastes some time every week. Perhaps I will sell it and try my luck with something else. If you intend to use it with a computer that has a built in HDMI or Display Port connection and so do not need to use a dongle perhaps it will be fine for you.

Hasta ahora estaba usando un monitor curvo de Samsung 1080p de 27' y si lo comparo con este nuevo es un salto bastante importante, sobre toto por el 4K y el HDR. En Xbox One X los juegos se ven impresionantes y en PS4 estándar, aunque no tengo 4K, el monitor es capaz de representar muy bien los 1080p, incluso mejorando la nitidez de mi anterior monitor, ya no se si aplica alguna especie de escalado inteligente o simplemente usa 4 píxeles para representar un píxel en 1080p, pero la verdad es que es bastante superior a la calidad de otros que he probado en el pasado con 4K que al mostrar 1080p la imagen se veia algo borrosa y distorsionada.Por otro lado el PC lo he conectado con Displayport y funciona perfectamente a 4K 60hz y con HDR. Lo mismo con el puerto HDMI 1 donde he probado la XBOX. Ya no sabria decir si el puerto HDMI 2 también es capaz de llegar a 4K 60 Hz ya que no lo he comprobado (lo comento porque si que he visto que hay modelos de Samsung de esta gama que el segundo HDMI solo admite 4K 30Hz).Algunos aspectos negativos que le veo a este monitor son que, por una parte, el soporte no permite ni cambiar la altura ni cambiar la inclinación, es totalmente rígido (aunque se agradece que sea compatible con soportes Vesa). Por otra parte, el hecho de que la pantalla no sea curva, ya que estaba acostumbrado a ella, aunque por el precio que tiene el monitor es más que comprensible, existen modelos similares más caros con la pantalla curva.También puede ser un inconveniente para alguna gente que no lleve altavoces integrados, aunque en mi caso he comprado una barra de sonido bastante econòmica que solventa el problema y que seguramente por el mismo precio es bastante mejor que la que podrían integrar encareciendo el producto.De momento encantado con el producto, más adelante ya comentaré de nuevo para ver si ha cambiado la cosa o sigue funcionando tan bien.-----------------Actualizo: Si se puede reclinar un poco, pero al principio da respeto porque hay que forzar un poco.

ottimo

Toller Bildschirm, da macht das Arbeiten und das Gaming wieder richtig Spaß.

j'ai commandéle Samsung LU28R550UQUXEN 28p UHD, mais le vendeur m'a envoyé le Samsung LU28R550UQUPXEN 28p UHD. Dans un premier temps, j'ai demandé le retour qui a été accepté, mais aprés reflection, j'ai annulé ma démarche, car je suis trés satisfait de ce model, l'écran est net et trés rapide en vidéo.je le recommande donc, c'est bon rapport/ qualité/prix.

Écran super, avec une qualité de vu super, utilisable à moins de 50 cm. J'ai beaucoup chercher , c'est vraiment l'écran idéal pour un bureau type plan de travail de 60 cm. Un pied réglable en option est bien aussi pour ajuster l’écran à sa morphologie. Franchement acheter le sans problème.
