The difference in font rendering between 4K and 6K is noticeable, but not of much significance in my experience. Basically, 4K is already very good (on 32"), and 6K is a bit better.

One thing that bothers me with this monitor more than I thought initially is the reduced size. For example, losing that 1" when compared to a 40" 5K2K monitor is pretty noticeable, not to mention 45" 5K2K.

It's also possible to run at 4K instead of 5K2K in games where you want higher frame rates. I find that the wider image doesn't add much to the experience with fast-moving games like shooters. My attention is focused in the middle anyway. I don't really notice what's going on at the edges. The...

I just set up mine, and tested it a bit. I loaded the new firmware. It's a good monitor - I like it. Text quality is excellent. Colors look very good. HDR brightness isn't great, but that's more or less how it is with OLED monitors. I like the glossy screen. The curve is just right. The loss of...

This type of packaging is done to reduce the width of the box which makes shipping cheaper and storage more efficient, but it doesn't protect the screen all that well. ASUS started doing the same a while back with similarly bad results.

With a 5K2K custom resolution, you're just using the middle 5120x2160 section of the 57" screen, which is good for gaming. I got tired of having 3 setups - one for docking the work laptop, one for non-work "productivity", and one for gaming, so consolidated to 2 setups.

The 57" Samsung is indeed great for work, but I like it for gaming as well with a 5K2K custom resolution.

I haven't spent the time trying to narrow down what's going on. I think Windows just hangs badly because even pressing the power button doesn't make Windows go into its shutdown operation as it normally would when the system isn't hung.

I don't know if I'm the only one having this power saving mode problem. I'm using the latest firmware: 1009.2. The problem was there when using earlier versions as well. Regular mode - not PiP.

I use the included DP 2.1 cable. It's long-enough to reach my PC. I run it at 240Hz. My video card is 5090. There is a problem with power saving. When Windows turns off the monitor, the OS freezes (or at least that's what I think is going on). I just disable turning off the monitor. Not great...

Not improwise, but I own two of these 57" monitors. The image quality is great when facing the middle of the screen, but it gets seriously washed out when viewed at an angle. I don't find it to be a problem other than when I try to show something on the screen to someone, and they're not...

27" is a bit small, though...

This is a very nice monitor, but the issue that kills it for me is the stand design. The panel sits very high even at its lowest position: 21" from the desk to the top of the panel. They raised it even further than what it was in the previous model which was already too high. I don't know what...

Not sure what 32" 6K buys you vs 4K. Text is a bit sharper (a noticeable, but not huge difference). Features (high-refresh rates, HDR quality) are lacking for 6K. You don't get more work area - the scaling factor needs to be increased.

They're on different desks connected to different computers in different rooms.
