Keeps turning off or going black/blank
I have both the 24 Inch Essential Monitor and the 27 Inch Essential Monitor. I had problems show up in the first week of using them. The monitors will randomly just turn off, go black/blank. Sometimes the picture returns, other times you're struggling to get it to turn back on (pulling HDMI cable out and back in again, playing with the switch/button on the back). Samsung support blame everything other than the monitors themselves but if you look around, there are plenty of others who have said the same thing in their review. Make sure to read reviews on this before you buy, unfortunately it was on sale in a store I was at, and I impulsively bought them. I wish I seen reviews first before buying. Another annoying thing, if you turn your PC off, the blue LED lights on these monitors keep flashing on and off as if you're expecting to turn the monitors off manually at the back.

DoNotBuy: We’re sorry to hear your S36GD Monitor is turning off on its own. Please try the following troubleshooting steps which may help resolve the issue: 1. Unplug the Monitor from the wall outlet or surge protector for at least 30 seconds. 2. Inspect the power cord for any visible damage. If damaged, the cord may need to be replaced. 3. Plug the Monitor directly into a wall outlet, bypassing any power strip or surge protector for now. 4. If the Monitor remains on long enough, try updating the Monitor’s software: Home > left directional key > Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now. Note: If your Monitor powers off during the update, it could result in damage, so only proceed if the Monitor is stable. Next, check the Monitor’s Power and Energy Saving settings to ensure no timers or auto-off features are enabled: • Sleep Timer: Settings > All Settings > General & Privacy > Power and Energy Saving > Sleep Timer • Auto Power Off and Off Timer: Settings > All Settings > General & Privacy > Power and Energy Saving > Auto Power Off/Off Timer Also, if you have devices connected via HDMI, check if Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) is enabled, as this can allow external devices to control the Monitor and may cause it to turn off: Settings > All Settings > General & Privacy > External Device Manager > Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) = Off If your Monitor continues to power off unexpectedly, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG between 8AM - 9PM EST Monday - Friday, and 8AM - 6PM Saturday and Sunday. Our LiveChat agents are also available through the ‘Support’ link on our website. ~ Samsung Monitors

Almost perfect
Perfect size for the area. Brilliant, clear sharp viewing. Monitor can't be tilted even though is shows in the instructions. Can't beat it for the money.

Great Monitor!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this monitor. The perfect size for what I use it for..I never thought I'd like a curved monitor until now. Super easy to connect. Clarity is great! I like how it shuts off after a certain amount of time to conserve energy. I feel like that's why my last monitor went out on me. Always stayed on.

27" Curve Monitor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 27" Samsung S3 curved monitor is by far the best 27" curved monitor in the price range on the market. As always Samsung lives up the the hype of the Samsung name with its vivid bright display, and the best colors on screen of any monitor I've ever had. No other monitor this size, curved, at the price range, on the market could compete. Samsung done it again, as they do on every device with a display on the shelf at any price, that has a display. From 3.5" displays to 85" perfectly lit, flat screen tvs, the colors pop perfectly and the devices last almost a lifetime. Samsung, keep up the great work.

Exactly What My Home Office (and Sanity) Needed!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor was the glow-up my home office desperately needed. The aspect ratio? Chef’s kiss. The image quality? So crisp I started judging my other screens. The minimalist design? Makes me feel like I actually have my life together. As an entrepreneur juggling a million tabs (and emotions), I needed a screen that could keep up without frying my eyes or stealing my focus. This one nailed it. I’ve used it for everything—gaming, writing up genius business plans (or at least pretending to), and binge-watching “training videos” on YouTube. Smooth performance, no eye strain, no regrets. Highly recommend if you want your workspace to feel a little more pro and a lot less chaos. 👨💻💪
