Customer Review

Looking for a large monitor (I had the Samsung S34E790C Curved Monitor 34 inches contemplated) I became aware of this unit through counseling in a major media discounter. I really wanted to curved and approximately 4k.

The TV went on the market in its Demo: What he showed there blew me almost from the socks: A super brilliant, sharp and detailed image. My question whether the display because even 3D could affirmed the Verküfer and advised me 2x Samsung 3D glasses, which I took.
WARNING: This product can NOT 3D!

The new "Monitor" has arrived home first thoroughly tested by me (3840 x 2160):
I sat at a short distance in front of a giant screen that is to name almost unübersichtich especially in height and watched with mixed feelings about my new desktop: The icons are okay Scripture casts shadows and is not detailed enough. My old 27 "Asus was doing a much better figure. In my valuable program, Adobe Lightroom, the Scriptures were the left and right so small that I as looking so to speak twice had to recognize that. Unfortunately, the otherwise understated gray writings colored particularly on the right side in pink / magenta ugliness (Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670, via HDMI with 3m cable for 50, -)..

Increasing the readability of 100% to 125% brought something only on the desktop. Lightroom was still too small. At 150% readability Zoom (I hope you know what I mean) are the writings on the desktop and in LR 1a can all recognize outstanding.

Next step color calibration:
The Spyder 4 Elite depends not very sensible on the display by the curvature or the edge. So got him held by the ambient light measurement by hand. The second time, a long time until he fumbled clean hung on Dsiplay. With the takeover of the recommended values ​​I have to guide the backlight is reduced (1 Calibration 17, 2. Calibration: 16). Result:
99% sRGB, Adobe RGB: 77% (in both measurements)
Although I personally never use Adobe RGB (after all, I look at my images not only for me) the low value is a pity.
After calibration, the TV shows rather than a neutral gray rather a bright pink (not nice). Also change the picture modes with recalibration has since not helped. I read something in the review above Samsung monitor. No idea why this is.

Anyway, finally I would like the great TV but sometimes 3D BluRays view my big plasma just can not (no 3D device).
So I closed the BR player and get the somewhat dry info, I should not hesitate to connect a 3D display. Yes, because I've also noticed: The TV can not support 3D. If indeed anywhere. Has halt only told the sellers.

Together: 150% increase in representation system (Win7), pink glow, actually as a monitor too long (you have to raise almost upside down to see everything) and no 3D led me to return. I have now ordered the aforementioned Samsung Monitor and hope that this instrument fits better then.

Why 5 stars?
Quite simply: It's finally a TV and no Monitor: What the device in this discipline to sharpness, contrast, color reproduction and cool second remote control (pointer) is making just great class. If I wanted to buy a small TV (without 3D) would be my first choice the device.

So this is more a spzielle review. But maybe it helps someone yes.
