An interesting Display

This is a very feature-heavy display. It is also a very interesting one indeed. I don't believe that this is a monitor flat out but am glad nonetheless that it provides a decent display.
The setup was rather simple which is the usual for Samsung displays. The lack of display ports on the display is disappointing but the included HDMI cables is a good substitute. Since it is a smart display, you do have to go through the setup process and log into your Samsung account to continue.
The display is really feature-heavy. That being said, having a monitor with smart features is cool but I do not really use them once the new-factor wore off. The Samsung dex feature is really nice for owners of Samsung smart phones. I just don't find myself using it much as someone using the monitor with a PC as my PC kind of handles all of that already.
Performance-wise, the monitor is great for doing simple processes or work. The easy to use navigation makes it simple to navigate and change settings and Samsung knows how to make displays look good. It does however take some adjusting out of the box because the base settings are very bright and washed out. A Monitor having a game mode is very interesting because it shouldn't be necessary for a monitor to have "game mode". Monitors should have low input-delay out of the box.
That being said, I can see the appeal for people that want a capable monitor for office work or good image quality. For a power user or gamer, there are definitely other options if input delay or viewing everything from your PC is more of your thing. For me, it makes an excellent secondary monitor for web-browsing, work, or simply having Discord open for voice calls.
