Thanks so much for watching, really appreciate it. To adjust the volume, toggle the joystick to the right and the volume bar will appear in the bottom right and you can use the joystick to move left or right depending on how loud or soft you want it. The speaker quality isn't top shelf so if you plug in an external speaker you will be able to adjust the volume in the standard computer settings on your PC/Mac.
I own the M1 MBA and a ultrawide monitor is the way to go. Right now, I have a inexpensive 27" LG ultrawide and it works beautifully as your one external monitor. The secret is Magnet.
How interesting! How is it going now? I'm keen to learn more about it. I find this screen can glitch after a few days of the screen being used with my work PC
Thanks for watching the video! Really appreciate the positive feedback 🙌 you're right, I've had it for over a year and I still love it! The only issue if that when I connect it to my work PC it glitches and disconnects but this only happens when the monitor has been on for consecutive days and doesn't happen that often. No problems with the macbook pro at all. What computer do you have?
@@nezuki4117 Thanks for the replies. I have been using Acer notebook for years but will change to MacBook this year later for much matching this monitor. Thanks for your helpful message, I bought it from Costco at nice price days ago.
Excellent and very real review, I think this video was the one to get me to buy this monitor! Plus, I have the same V-Moda's and for that, I really loved this video! Have a wonderful day!
Thanks for watching David! Really makes me so happy to hear that my video helped you in your purchase journey! It's a beautiful monitor. Wow! Not many people know about v-moda, they are so underrated!! I love mine, great to meet a likeminded friend. Let me know how you go with your new monitor. Have an awesome week! 💖💖
Thanks for watching Diana! Happy that I could help in your journey, it's a great investment and even all these months later it is the perfect all rounder monitor. Have you started using yours?
@@dianass576 Amazing!!!! I bet you must be thrilled to be using it, if you have any questions let me know. Thanks so much for the positive feedback, I truly appreciate it. You are so kind 🙏⭐❤
@@nezuki4117 WIll do! I ordered it and it should arrive this week but the laptop won't arrive for a few weeks so it will be a while but I am looking forward. I'm wondering if you'll do any updates on this monitor as time goes on with it?
Thank you very much for the video. I am going to buy this monitor, my I want to know if the resolution will be good with my MacBook Pro 13`` 2017 ?? thanks
I haven't tested this myself but I don't know if it will do justice to the screen because the screen resolution is so different. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Hi NEZUKI, I have a couple of simple questions where your help would be immensely useful to me! 1- when you connect your macbook to the monitor and go to display--> preferences, and click scaled, do you see the familiar interface and options for scaling like what you'd see for the macbook screen itself, i.e.: "Larger text (looks like 1920*1080)", or do you just see a lot of resolutions laid out in a list? 2- When you connect a windows laptop to the monitor, do you feel the colors look way better with the windows than with the mac ? I had a similar experience with the older version (c34f791)
Have you had issues with your USB and thunderbolt displays? I reached out to Samsung and they suggested installing firmware (that isn't available for mac?)
I have experienced the occasional time that the display switches off randomly or disconnects when I use the work PC laptop but with the macbook Pro it hasn't happened. What issues are you experiencing, and what did Samsung reply with?
Great video! I use my every time i work on the laptop. It is easy to have 2 laptops connected to this monitor as PbP for multitasking. Too bad that it can't be split in multiple screens when connected to 1 laptop.
Hi Nezuki. Love the video and the monitor. I just brought a samsung ultra wide monitor but it is not the white design which I like better. So I'm returning and buying this model as its more affordable now since when you brought it. Where did you buy your key board and mouse ? I love the pink and white. That's the color scheme I want for my home office 💕
Hi Jennifer! Great to hear that you love the pink and white theme as much as I do. The white monitor is beautiful and blends well with all my white furniture too. The keyboard and mouse shown are from Miniso but I now have a newer keyboard and mouse I bought from Pnk Stuff online which you can check out on my instagram. Let me know which keyboard you end up buying! ❤
Thanks for watching Sudi! I have a 2 feet deep desk from Ikea and that works for me. You can adjust the screen to accommodate the angle you require and if you need it to sit higher you can invest in a platform to raise it. I'm not an OH&S specialist so it's best to see what works for you but if you have the right chair it will be sufficient with that desk ✌
Hi Amit! They are both USB 2.0, I'm not 100% sure if it will have enough power to run a Webcam because I haven't tried it. I usually use it for plugging in wireless receivers for the mouse and keyboard as well as reading external drives. If your webcam uses thunderbolt/USBC you might be able to use one of the Thunderbolt outlets.
@@nezuki4117 thank you so much for the reply! I have a follow-up question: Assuming that the USBs are able to power the webcam, the MacBook Pro should be able to recognise it, right? In which case the monitor is also acting like a 3.0 or USB-C hub/dongle? I was just confused since there’s no direct connection between the accessory and the MBP.
@@amit_srivatsa it will detect it only if your macbook pro is connected to the monitor via thunderbolt. The monitor acts like a hub with all the inputs in the back but it appear on your macbook unless it's connected through the cable to the monitor 😄
That's a good question! I still have mine on the monitor, it would be stuck on with some adhesive but I'd be concerned about damaging the plastic with any sort of alcohol/goo remover. Forums suggest you can use a hair dryer but I won't be doing that to an expensive screen, I'll be kicking myself if that accidentally causes damage and voids my warranty.
Hi, when I connect my 2018 Macbook 15', the text looks pixelated and ugly, not clear at all, on word, excel and even in finder. Did you face this issue? how did you fix it ? BTW, thanks for the review :)
@@tom_hedgecoth I tried this and it didn't look good, colors look washed out and text is not the best, with a Windows PC it looks, awesome, any other ideas? Also may I ask, when you connect a macbook to it and go to display--> preferences, and click scaled, do you see the familiar interface and options for scaling like what you see for the macbook screen itself, i.e.: Larger text (looks like 1920*1080), or do you just see a lot of resolutions laid out in a list?
@@iKaBoZ820 I didn't have any issues, although just checking is your Mac a retina display version? My previous MacBook still managed to looks great upscaled. I personally think the Mac colours are more vibrant than the PC, but it's definitely personal taste.
@@nezuki4117 yea it's a retina display, it's a 2018 Macbook 15' (the version with the highest GPU) and I agree with you that its colours are more vibrant than PC, that's why I was very surprised that the colors on the monitor looked way better with PC than with Mac !
@@iKaBoZ820 That's really strange, I have come across tech issues with mac when using a "non-Apple" cable, have you tried using an authentic Apple cable for the connection?

Hey. Great video! I just bought this monitor and a macbook pro 13”. I cant seem to get picture on the monitor when connecting with the thunderbolt cable i recieved with the macbook pro. Any idea?

Hi Ashish, it is a beautiful monitor! It doesn't do fixed split screen but it can can do PIP (Picture In Picture). I haven't found this an issue but it all depends on how you want to use your monitor 😁
@cristolthomas5227 4 years later and I'm still using this monitor as my daily, no issues are no dead spots either. I think that it really depends on what your needs are. No doubt there is better tech out there 4 years later but it comes down to budget too 😄
I'm reading there are problems worldwide with MacOS Big Sur update 11.1 and using external monitors. If you have updated to MacOS Big Sur 11.1, are you having any problems?? Thanks
Same here, no problems with monitor connections. However, initially when I had updated, it had slowed down the laptop a little and was laggy compared to before when I would for example switch between desktops. Also when I expanded out the touch bar options they would disappear but now after some weeks everything seems to be fixed even though there wasn't an update for a patch up.
@@1ce2berg Ouch! That sounds rough. I haven't had any issues, its interesting because I was finding it laggy for video editing before the update and now it seems to be a little quicker.

Amazing video about the Samsung monitor which I would like to purchase. I am using Acer 4k S277hk will be this smansung for me something better I am afraid about the 21:9 my 4k uses 16:9 :(

Hi, very nice review! I got the same monitor and wondering how to adjust the volume of the monitor? Any tips? Thanks!
Thanks so much for watching, really appreciate it. To adjust the volume, toggle the joystick to the right and the volume bar will appear in the bottom right and you can use the joystick to move left or right depending on how loud or soft you want it. The speaker quality isn't top shelf so if you plug in an external speaker you will be able to adjust the volume in the standard computer settings on your PC/Mac.
