You say the colors of the Samsung are oversaturated? Not natural? Too "red"? Sorry colors of the Samsung compared to the HP just appear to me more pop, vibrant, alive and shaper.
That's pretty much the definition of oversaturation.

That's pretty much the definition of oversaturation.
How can colors be "sharper"? I always see this phrase thrown around by people who "compare" displays.
I'd say the best way to put it is this:
Over saturated colours would look the exact opposite, there are more of colours than usual.
Picture quality isn't measured in vibrancy and pop. If you like the samsung better, then keep it, who we are to tell what's right for you?
If you decide to keep the samsung. At least use this software to correct the gamma http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1878782.
I will do it, thank you very much!
Maybe this is bad example to compare against but most "audiophiles" will swear that when buying a headphone amp you have to have something that is completely flat and neutral so no "coloring" of your sound that way you are listening to the music the way it was originally recorded. However there are tons of people who actually enjoy tube amps which purposely distort and color the sound signature but they find it to be a more enjoyable experience. When it comes to monitors maybe we can sorta say the same thing in that some people just really enjoy inaccurate, oversaturated colors. Can we really claim that 100% accurate colors will give a more enjoyable experience and is the one and only right way to use a monitor? Perhaps some people will find that more accurate colors just looks duller or less life like. I personally think that color accuracy really matters if you're into photography or video editing but otherwise for gaming and such as long as you find the colors to look great or "pop" and are happy with what you are seeing then that's good enough.
And what is the problem with this if the pics simply give a "better" (more pop, vibrant etc.) effect? I have to play and not to edit pics because I'm a player and not a photograph.
Again: I really wanted to keep the HP for various reasons. And I'm not a fan of Samsung, but of Apple. Samsung and Apple are as cats and dogs. So I just hate Samsung!! But what I see in game is enough to convince me that the Samsung is superior to the HP. Of course this is just my opinion.
Thank you for the answer.
I bought the HP too and I will compare both monitors and report back.
Which settings can you recommends me for the HP 27CW?
Cheers.
EDIT:
I tested both monitor, the Samsung 27E390HL and the HP 27CW.
According to me you cannot compare the Samsung and the Hp: The Samsung is according to me just superior --> https://www.flickr.com/photos/137591141@N07/? (left: HP, right: Samsung)
Looks like the HP is washed out because of wrong black levels. Are you using HDMI? If so, be sure that the graphicscard outputs right black levels (0-255).
I mean "defined contours", colors "stands out" better or they "stands out" of the screen... I don't know how to explain this
I purchased the HPXW, it's a nice monitor. Hardly any reflection which is good, picture is crisp and clear.
I was convinced by NCX's review. My only complaint is, much like my previous monitor (which was the BenQ EW2740L VA panel) it has a yellow tint and it's annoying.
Here is my question to NCX or anyone who knows their displays. Will calibration clear up that yellow tint? Also, NCX used an X-Rite i1 Display Pro to calibrate it. I'm wondering if something cheaper will get the job done? Like the X-Rite ColorMunki Smile? I'm not a photographer, I'm a gamer and just an average PC user. I don't think I need professional grade colors but I would like to have similar colors that my TV displays.
