Don't want to sound to picky ... but please HH put this on the giveaway this next december : )))) ... This look like a nice monitor for sure

Eww, all those specs and samsung couldn't muster up anything above HDR600? This display is DOA.

I would rather use a LG OLED C2 55" especially the 2022 model with its higher peak brightness. 2023 models have a 70% higher peak brightness. , you really do have to be a complete moron to get screen burn on oleds today.

I couldn't use anything above HDR 600 as a monitor. In the evenings even HDR600 makes my eyes bleed after a bit of gaming.

Thats a peak brightness while displaying hdr content to help certain scenes stand out. I would check your eyes.

Having brightness at 100(hdr sets it at 100) with extra bright scenes in dark room, yeah it burns my eyes, maybe you haven't actually tried it.

To think i have hdr 400 monitor and i can tell you looks really bad.

Not 27 Inch means it's DOA.

Well HDR400 isn't really HDR since SDR goes to 400+ nits peak brightness on decent displays.

i've seen this bad boy up close @ ces. it's fantastic, but this actually has a use case scenario - very bright rooms. a lot of folks have open floor plans nowadays and light is usually one reason why. my places is still mid-century(20th) modern with a bunch of smaller rooms. in my house i wouldn't buy this monitor. but my neighbor two doors over had a complete renovation and the amount of light everywhere was almost too much (for me). in that place i would definately recommend the NeoG7

That's just a rating, it doesn't mean that during bright scenes it's blasting out 600 nits at the brightest spots, that's just a theoretical maximum for a 3% (or smaller depending on the rating system) window which you may or may not run into depending on your content. The rating as a whole basically says if it can give a crappy pseudo HDR experience as a whole, which HDR 600 can, it's just barely enough to be an improvement over SDR IMO (vs say HDR400 which can make it look worse). I know say even 200 nits can be extremely bright in a dark room, but that's not the issue here, like Undying said you should really get your eyes checked just to be safe. What I'm saying is that you can be viewing a true HDR screen capable of 1000 nits, giving proper contrast making a scene look better, without it actually even needing to display such brightness on any spot of the screen. I have an OLED monitor, so it's HDR1000 capable, that doesn't mean I'll let it melt my face. HDR600 rated monitors can't display such a nice image and it has almost nothing to do with brightness.

I'm more than happy with my LG UltraGear 27GP950-B, nice improvement over my LG 27UL600-W.

I suppose if you wanted to fight the light it's not a bad option. While I do enjoy a lot of natural sunlight, I don't really need it if I'm trying to play a game or watch something. So, the only room in my house with black-out blinds and curtains is the only room where I don't feel like dealing with the glare or excessive brightness.

True Even my HDR400 looks stunning in the Witcher, and after tweaking GOW

Gonna wait for next years model that has 1000f flatness rating. Its even more flat than this one.

I was lucky enough to be involved with the building of my house at a conceptual stage so had plenty of time to plan how i would use each room, where power and LAN sockets would go, aircon locations etc etc.
