Description

You can view movies and photos in 4K with the Samsung LU28R550UQRXEN. This 28-inch monitor is ideal for home use. You'll be able to watch movies in high quality thanks to the 4K resolution. This monitor is also suitable for amateur or novice photo editors. Because of the high resolution, you can see photos in detail. The IPS panel displays true-to-life colors, even if you look at the screen from the side. You can work all day in Word or Photoshop without your eyes becoming strained. This is thanks to the blue light filter and the flicker-free technology. The screen has fairly thin bezels so you're less likely to get distracted.

Note: due to the 4K resolution, text and icons become smaller, which you can't always enlarge. For a 4K output, you need a modern laptop or PC with a fairly powerful video card such as the RTX 3070. Make sure it has at least a DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0, or Thunderbolt 2 connector.

    Advice from our expert
  • Internet, email & text processing: suitable
  • As a second screen: suitable
  • Business use: suitable
  • Photo editing: suitable
  • Video editing: possible, but better with coverage in the DCI-P3 color profile
  • Gaming: unsuitable, requires at least 144Hz. Only possible with the lightest games.

As a photographer and graphic designer I work with images on a daily basis. These must be of the highest quality and so the colors must be very clearly visible. With this screen I can clearly see (after calibration) what can be improved in the photos I deliver and I can therefore make adjustments very quickly.

There's virtually no lag in what I'm doing on my laptop to this screen, and I can easily use a Wacom tablet that only does big screen editing.

In addition, the design is what you expect from Samsung, modern and stylish. Very nice to have on my desk and also very easy to let customers watch what I have made for them. This is also because the screen shows the same colors on all sides without deviations. Definitely recommended!

Affordable display for designers / gamers

  • Soon design

  • PPI is really razor sharp

Very good value for money. In terms of screen quality, better than the LG UL27 series, which is slightly more expensive than this series.

"a fantastic workhorse"

  • MEGA LARGE SCREEN
  • Pixel density is perfect!
  • Nice colours
  • Heavy for low-end computers (Gaming)

While I am quietly enjoying my cup of coffee, after a good working day I am writing this review. Tapping on my keyboard, looking at a 21:9 ultra wide 4K screen from Samsung.

I've had this screen for a few weeks now, and man man man, what a fantastic screen this is!
Unpacked for the first time, the box was bigger than expected. A 34" 21:9 monitor, that's quite large, and you expect that. But the screen is a bit bigger than you think. You will definitely notice this when you sit down for the first time. If you play a game At 75Hz and a response speed of 4ms, that's pretty tough. I come from a 24" 16:9 screen, so I felt like I was watching a game of tennis. My head went from left to right just to take in the screen. But don't worry, this was a matter of getting used to, and was soon remedied.
Anyway, I'm going to divide this review into a few parts. This makes it a little easier for you to read!

Gaming, Video and Photography/Design.

gaming:
Prepare yourself. A 4K 75Hz experience that will melt your heart and make you fall in love with your monitor! But(-yes really a but) your computer will like you a little less if you don't have an ultimate high-end PC. Now I have quite a decent set-up myself. I have an Nvidia 1080 GPU and an I7 4790 CPU. I'm used to just playing most high-end games quietly on high and ultra. That is not so easy anymore! If, like me, you're pretty 'keen' on your FPS, then you really need to have some hardware under the hood. Let's take "Assassin's Creed Odyssey" as an example. A reasonable CPU and GPU intense game that I have always been able to play on Ultra without too much trouble (with the exception of incredibly pressing spots where I sometimes flipped to 55FPS). This won't work anymore. I have to pull my settings down quite a bit if I want to play this a bit decent with at least 60FPS. Games like "Tom Clancy's: Rainbow Six Siege" are optimized slightly differently, so they work fine at 4K. But unoptimized games such as "ARK: Survival Evolved" don't run well, and should really be downscaled to 2K or 1080P. So what I'm trying to say with this is that 4K gaming is quite heavy on your hardware, especially if you're also playing 75Hz. SO BE AWARE!

By the way, the PBP/PIP function is fantastic for streamers, for example. You want to play console games, but at the same time save space AND watch your chat? Then this is really IDEAL! You just plug in two devices, and you can see both at the same time!
Video:

I always work with the Adobe package, so mainly in Premiere and After Effects. And if you know this a bit, you know that the entire workspace can be turned around so that it works exactly the way you like it. I also did that with this screen. However, editing has never been so much fun. I always work with a minimal dual set-up, but this is a lot easier. I set up my preview monitor nicely and have my assets on my second monitor. And the full-length timeline at the bottom. This works so very well! It sounds a bit like a superfluous luxury, but if you have to edit daily, this is really ideal! I can't say much more about it that this just works great! And of course it's also nice that you edit 4K (and don't have cinebars ;) )!

Watching movies is also a really different experience. Streaming websites such as Netflix and Amazon Prime work perfectly, but if you have a 1080P movie rendered WITH cine bars, you will always have two black bars on the side. That's a sacrifice it makes with a 21:9 screen. Although I got used to it very quickly.
Photography/Design

It's not much different from video for photography and editing. You can simply adjust the workflow much more desired, and you have that little bit extra with the 21:9.

In terms of color palette, the screen is not IPS, but if you have not worked with IPS before, and you designed it, then you will not miss this! I've calibrated the screen, and it looks really good! I did notice that I had to throw in a little more contrast in my settings. Blacks aren't really crushed very well. And usually that's not such a disaster, but in this case it turned out less well. I had a design where a lens was photographed. The person in question didn't see a weird outline of his Photoshop file, although I could see it very clearly.

Other than that I really don't have much to complain about. All in all, it's a fantastic workhorse. Provided you have the right hardware for this! The specs are just here, so I don't have to go into detail for that. The pixel density is great, and the colors look fantastic. (I had to calibrate it to my wishes of course.)
