![Monitor Buying Guide - What You NEED to Know! [2024]](/img/tr.png)
For a casual console or pc player that wants to run 4K on the series X or PS5 this is a great monitor for that I had the same monitor but a 1080p from years ago and it was great also!
Exactly what I came for thank you
"This monitor is crap" "(this feature) it's garbage" "pretty dumb" 😂 Love how honest he is. Wendell is my go to now for monitor reviews
He gave the UJ59 a B+.
Except for the fact that the monitor is pretty amazing for the price point.
That is the most un-constructive thing to say as a reviewer and if that's all it takes for you too follow someone then that says things about people.
The panel of this monitor have 5 years old in 2019 ? I both this monitor yesterday, I didn`t find many information, I tought that at least was, not thaaat old.... I really worried. This monitor is so bad? I moving from a Samsung 240hz fullhd to a 4k, because I didn`t see any advantages of using 240hz
@@raf.nogueira did you liked the monitor?
I don’t understand why it’s so hard to make a decent monitor . It’s like “4K but not HDR” “HDR but not 4K” “HDR 4K , but weird design” , etc etc . My laptop has had a 4K hdr panel at 3yrs old. Just put that in a 32in rectangle display with an adjustable stand . 🤷🏽♂️
4 years later and it’s still the same damn story with current monitors.
Awesome review! Nothing worse than buying a monitor that's "crap" and then being stuck with in for a couple of years (or more!). The monitor is one of the main machine-human interfaces, it's important to buy the right one. Thank you Level1Techs!!
Planning to buy this Samsung and replace 30" HP LP3065 from 2008. Anything modern is better. HP was only 1100€ back in the day because no onscreen menu and panel has avful red tint.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the breakdown + honesty!
Also the 32 inch samsung monitor has a VA panel not a TN panel
I was gonna say.... I own one.
@Rayna Ramsay Did you buy it?
I bought the UJ59 to replace my Predator 4k ISP 32 inch. I much prefer the UJ59. This review forgets to mention it as a zero to 100 sharpness setting. This monitor has all the crispiness the Predator lacked. Plus the UJ59 has a 4k/60Hz HDMI input the Predator frustratingly didn't have. On well shot 4k footage faces look almost 3 dimensional on this monitor. I am gaming in clover with it.
The supplied stand is fixed and will only by coincidence suit you, but the Vesa mount allows a stand of your choice.
How does the UJ59 look in Windows? Is the image quality as good as the IPS? I have the same Acer monitor that I am now considering abandoning.
Edit: Also good to see that there are people in the same situation :D
hdmi2 slot for 4K with 60Hz
You should use hdmi2 or DP to get 4K with 60hz out of this display. YOU REALLY CAN GET 4K WITH 60HZ ON IT. AND IT HAS VA DISPLAY, NOT TN. I'd give B+ or even A too.
how about HDMI cable in the box one is 2.0 or lower ?
Kinda weird they aren't giving you the cables to support the capabilities of the monitor. Had to buy DP cable seperately
I have the 2 too, iam agree with the review, first TN panel, freesync never works, joystick broke with the time, a little laggy. The UJ59 uses VA panel, better color reproduction, Freesync Ultimate mode working, and quicker response time, very good choice for 4k 60hz !!!
Hi Elias, about the UJ59, still good, without issues?
Finally a 4k that isn’t 27” or over 40”
agreed shame it doesn't have HDR10 or HDR10+
I purchased this monitor Friday and installed it just a few hours before this video was released. What are the odds?!
The Semite can you attach speakers to this monitor ?
@@jali1 yes. It has a headphone port in the back.
The Semite so speakers will work as expected through the headphone jack ? And thanks for the response, means a lot.
Voyager Landing I haven’t tested it. But I don’t see why not.
I found this video because I just scored this monitor on Amazon for $270 on a flash sale.
i have itfor 150
"Whats samsung doing on my desk?"
My thoughts exactly, after the pain in the ass that was the CHG70, its going to be a loooong time before I take a risk on a samsung display again.
Excellent review in depth review on the point and most important in depth talk on LAG and Colours.
lol @1:08 "this one.. I HATE.." OMG too funny! Another one @2:35 "This monitor is actually crap!" Just to be clear, he's referring to his old monitor when he says these. Subbed!
I have the older 28" model that you hated and I'm considering the 31.5" as a replacement and moving the 28" to my wife's PC. Why? Because I'm cheap. It's interesting being able to see them side to side. Thanks.
"This monitor is actually crap". And.... I just subscribed

@@raf.nogueira No, the 31 inch monitor has a newer panel. He was referring to the older 28 inch monitor. Did you get the monitor yet? How do you like it?
Thanks for an honest review!
I have had the same monitor for 12 years now. It's an HP w2207. When I put my cellphone screen next to it you can tell the screen is more yellow than white. Still, I thought it was a great monitor when I bought it. My GFs best friend got a job with Samsung last year. I have already called in a favour for the 32". Should arrive next week.
I had it and it's fucking awesome in my opinion
refreshingly honest and technical - however he could have been a bit more clear about switching between the two monitors
Most reviews on other channels feel like the same 5 talking points (probably given by the manufacturer) have to be covered.
No one cares about 100 milliseconds reaction for office work. Only thing important is sharp image.

I just watched this video on a u28d590d, bought 2014.
It is slow, really slow but it was one of the cheapest 4k at its time, so you get what you pay for (still far better then my old 24" FHD).
2016 i bought the u28e590 which has freesync, better colours and is a whole lot faster in response (I'm just feeling here no actual messuarement) and that for 260€ (now its 230 without sale)
I tried out some 400-500€ VA and IPS Screens but imo they were all not worth the money and the bump in what ever category the brought.
never ever did you try the CHG70 form Samsung
What's the 2022 version of the budget best value proposition 32" 4k monitor?
I have two of these monitors for work and they are perfect for office use or programming (maybe not photo editing), however the really only bad thing is that the viewing angle is so bad you really cant use this at all in portrait at all as the vertical viewing angle is awful. The viewing angles also are pretty bad generally, definitely with two of these they will both appear to color shift constantly as you move your head or get up and sit down, sharing content is sort of sad as well. But yeah for straight up real estate and spot on size at this price, it's a perfect utility type display for an office, worlds better than any 24" 1080p most offices will throw at people. Obviously an IPS display would be ideal, especially if you want portrait viewing for code etc but they are like 2x the price at least making this pretty strong value regardless. Nice actual review too :D
I love the the monitor you hate lol my first 4k monitor though, but for the price on an entry level Gtx1650 it's perfect (workstation, not for a gaming rig).
when you tell there's better monitor, it would be great to know if they are in the same price group as well, if not that information doesn't matter much for someone who's interest in the monitor you're reviewing... just my thought.. thanks for the review..
No, because the reviewer is criticizing a monitor that is a top-of-the-line monitor with the specs for the money... it's a no-contest at $300 because its closest competitors start in the $500-$600+ range.
All this comes from a combination of 3 components:
- There is no overpayment for the appearance of the stand, etc. - because you will hang it on VESA anyway
- 4k
- a real 10-bit matrix, which is confirmed even by the "Displayspecification" website
I'm enjoying these monitor reviews
Bought this last week for 270€, pretty happy so far
Just got one for $200 usd ir arrives on sunday hopefuly it's decent for what i'll use it
I value your monitor reviews Wendell!
Nice review, appreciate the tests and good humor as well. Cheers mate :)
What Ever Happen To Logan? I Don’t even remember the name of his Channel any more; I haven’t been able to find him since I got back from Iraq. Love you to man, I hope you are still working together.
Did you experience noticeable clouding or other uniformity issues on the uj590?
Wendell, make an affiliate link to the monitor arms.
I also would like to know the exact model (trying to find it here, in Spain).
I have U28 back when I bought it when it was the cheapest one. Also, mine was an openbox so I it was even cheaper. But it's not too bad actually for a casual PC user like me. I don't really noticed a huge difference between this and other 4k monitors. Yea, there are some of the problems with it. Mainly the fastest response time mode, but otherwise it's ok. The original Display port cable that came with a monitor was an absolute garbage, but Best Buy just replaced it with their own brand cable .
Btw, U28 can also have a VESA mount as mine has it. Someone I know has the same one but without the vesa.
i got this monitor, you are right. My Philips 278E has so much better colour.
Samsung refreshed the U28D590D pretty quickly after just 1 year with the U28E590D (E instead of D). Would be interested to see if you like the newer one better or still hate it.
Had the U28E590D. Sent it back after 1 week : this is the only monitor I ever sent back despite it was a bargain at 230€. Colors where truly awful and viewing angles where terrible.
The panel is VA, not TN that's why it has better color than the TNs you mentioned.
I got the UHD 75D 28 inch Samsung monitor with quantum dot 60hz 1ms and its ******* Amazing.
Also watching on a U28E590D but I use it for a second monitor only
Great video!! Which monitor would you recommend for photo and video editing between $350-$500?
@wendell I have one for over a year now (bought in july 2018) , i use it 8-14 hours a day , no issue (yet?^^).
Thanks for the great review! 👍🏻
Vey good review and thank you for the profile I've just downloaded.
how do you install the colour profile?
I have that 28" Samsung monitor, the U28E590DS, and mine does have a 100mm VESA mount.
Thank you very much for your informative video. Please tell me if this particular monitor has a remote control to switch from pc to playstation.
I can appreciate a brutally honest review, but I really don't give a single shit about your previous experience with an unrelated Samsung monitor from 5 years ago... Video would be like 30 seconds without the ranting and just focusing on the new one
can anyone tell me: there's no DCI-P3 support for this monitor but it nailed 95% of it?? WTH?
32" - 36" 4K, IPS, non-curved, FreeSync (with a max limit at least double the lower range limit), (a 10-bit panel would be nice, but not absolutely required)
That's what I'm looking for in a monitor ATM, but it's a lot harder to find than you might think.
yeah i'd be down for two if i could add on 16:10 or better (i.e. NOT 16:9 or wider.. that shits for n00bs).
Man, excellent review, I am considering buying this monitor for video editing in 4k at Davince Resolve, in the same value range, would you recommend this model? or have another to indicate? Thank you
Great review! I have a question though (for anyone) I’m running an MSI Tri- Frozen RTX 2070, if I were to upgrade to a 4K monitor with a higher refresh rate could my gpu handle it?
I just got this UJ59 32in Samsung monitor... I love it but I was coming from a 5 year old Asus VS247H-P 23.6" Full HD 1920x1080 2ms using a dvi cable Lol. Now one thing about the Samsung is the hdmi 1 only allows for 30hz max, hdmi 2 is what gives 2160p @ 60hz. I’ve watched some movies in 2160p and some I was super impressed with but others seem super dark. But adjusting brightness does help or makes the imagine look funny. But I am looking at it from a funny angle because the stand doesn’t allow for tilt adjustment. Also I’m running’s hdmi on slot 2 but I want to try for the display port.
I like the look of the stand of the 5 year old samsung monitor.
I like these monitor reviews. I have a Acer Predator XB132yadayadayada, which I now had to send it for service, because of the gsync module failing.
I might want to replace it, as I would really like 32" or higher with 4K and freesync/gsync. But also, some form of HDR and higher refresh rate than 60Hz. My Acer can't do 4K Netflix, and can't do 4K over HDMI, as it doesn't have HDMI 2.0b (only 1.4).
But there isn't a lot to choose from.
So really appreciate your reviews of big(ger) monitors than 27". Keep up the good work, good stuff!
Also, would be interesting to see if some of the higher end Samsung's are worth it at all. Like the QLED monitors with freesync.
yadayada :D good one. Long live acer naming scheme :D
@@StenCZE Haha. Aye. I guess it's actually called the XB321HK. Not a bad monitor, but it was disappointment, so it's not usable for many of the things I want to use it for.
Nice to see an honest opinion
Samsung UJ59 vs UR550 ? which one is better?
UR55
It's pity no office software test and game
What software / hardware you use to calibrate this monitor? Expensive ?
What you think your monitor compare to Samsung UR59C 4K Curved Monitor ?
For office work and occasional games like Battlefield series
Thanks for sharing
Best monitor reviews on youtube
is there a decent 32" - 4k - 120Hz - HDR (optional) monitor option available in the market?
No. Display industry are slow as molasses when it comes to innovation. Maybe check out CES 2020 for any 4k 120hz HDR prototype monitor with a HDMI 2.1 or DP 2.0
lets not forget also an aspect ratio of NOT 16:9.
For 4K, >60Hz gaming, so far it's only the Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ 27" , Acer Predator X27 bmiphzx 27" 4K. For photo content creation all are still at 60Hz.
I came here bc I was used to my laptop and phone screen and then i bought this monitor for my first pc and GOD THOSE BLACKS, i think i should have expected that bc of the price but i didn´t think it was going to be this bad. I´m a designer and I cannot quite reccomend it, at least for working on this area.
lol! I have the same monitor as you (u28e590) and it's crazy, because i'm mass searching for the best 4k 32 inch monitors right now!
How is your experience with u28e590d?
@@Brkchey it’s good in landscape mode but it’s kind of bad in portrait mode because of glares. it’s not a bad monitor though, 4k and 60fps but it’s cheap for a reason...
@@Kyllen I just both 2, was doubting because it´s TN Panel. Now idk if I should regret. Viewing angles are my main concern.
@@Brkchey are you using the two in landscape or portrait mode?
@@Kyllen Portrait. They are set a bit high so i have feeling that top of the display is always dark. I hate TN panels, i though i will risk this time but idk if i will regret soon
thanks for review, but please tell me what's color parameters you do on monitor after calibrating ?
omg I almost buy that T_T ... I really don't know which monitor to buy anymore. As you said "on paper looks pretty good". Too good to be true, right?
Very good review. I loved it.
Wendell is my goto for everything
9:36 The viewing angles look pretty good! How's the backlight bleed though?
Wait.. Didn't you say 4k 40" was the sweet spot when you were reviewing those "cheap Korean monitors"?
The website says that the UJ59 is VA, not TN?
YES This is definitely va but not TN, i am wondering whether he made a mistake, it is quite an impossible thing for a pro reviewer to make the type of panel wrong
i want a 4k monitor 32 inches around 350 any suggestions
Thanks, I just bought 2.
Wendel fondling buttons mhh tats the stuff.
Is the color calibration good for lu32j590uqmxue?
I'm not satisfied with the monitor, can someone recommend the right settings on the monitor as well?
I using it for editing Thanks!
So, what is this monitor good for then? Where i live that is pretty much the options we get. I have a pro RGB monitor which i bought in the US but i use it for my pics, but it is 2K. the 4K full RGB was double the price. I am building a new PC for my videos editing only but we have not RGB monitors where i live. My question is: will i actually see a big different between this monitor as to a BenQ SW271 27 Inch 4K HDR Professional IPS Monitor |10-Bit? I have the same version monitor but 2k for my pics. thanks for your insight. I truly appreciate it!
super helpful
thanks
Would be nice if the freesync range was a little higher.
I bought this monitor recently and it starts flickering like crazy, and it gets so bad going from bright to dark it eventually closes itself and reopens, only to do the same again and again until I remove the power cable, because I am unable to even close it with it's power button.
Edited: I posted a refund request and placed it in it's packaging. I also checked the net and it turns out that other people have the same problem.
Very good video. Congratulations.
I recently bought this for a second coding monitor I only paid $202 for it though. I don’t game on it but I am pretty good with it for the price. Haven’t searched for it that hard but there is no manual input selection which irritates me.
There is a manual input selection on the UJ59. You press the nipple and it's the arrows on the left.
There is but seems to just trigger cycling through inputs
@@lesliestandifer Is that not a manual input? I take manual input to mean an input on a device operated by hand.
Safetytrousers no not really manual input selection would be if I set it to DisplayPort it doesn’t change regardless if there is a signal or not
@@lesliestandifer Manual means to operate with your hands, and to change input selection you have to use your hand. The elected input selection is manual.
Hello I bought the Mac Studio with the Samsung UR59 and was wondering what the best way to hook it up to get true 4K from the awesome Mac Studio. Do I need to order a USBC to display port. I know the HDMI port will be OK but would like it to display true 4K
That older Samsung also had one of the wobblier stands I've ever seen.
I love how resolution went down over time from 1200p to 1080p
i don't
@@hoffybeefe exactly... we used to get monitors at 16:10 ratio now they are all 16:9 basically shortchanging us......
Are you talking about QHD monitors? What does that have to do with this monitor? Why not make comments on UA-cam that are actually helpful rather than to make yourself feel better? Throw us a bone or throw nothing at all please. Thanks so much and happy holidays to you and yours.
@@geraldhenrickson7472 yes WQHD (16:9 & 16:10) is what we used
does anybody know if this is still the budget buy in 2023 for a 4k 32" monitor? just wondering because of the missing hdmi 2.1 port, high ms, and low refresh rate. Also the contrast and brightness don't seem all that great unless that's as good as it gets for the current $289
Can you reccomend a monitor for video editing on a mac mini?
i wonder if this a good monitor for xbox series x...
I read it was good so I bought it I’ll keep you updated
@@Driftking-dd6wx hows it running on series x
Why would you not center the vesa mount? Rotating monitor for the win!
yeah i had that monitor. i returned it when i realized just how bad it really was. even without the fancy tools you can easily tell it was just trash.
The panel of this monitor have 5 years old in 2019 ? I both this monitor yesterday, I didn`t find many information, I tought that at least was, not thaaat old.... I really worried. This monitor is so bad? I moving from a Samsung 240hz fullhd to a 4k, because I didn`t see any advantages of using 240hz
I'm trying to get a good 32 inch 4k monitor for some gaming and some work. Maybe 60% gaming 40% work. Is there anything you'd recommend? Thanks!
Just got one!
What would you suggest I use it Nostradamus?
First.. never review the monitor that is not on topic! I bet most of the viewers clicked away after first 30 seconds. Thanks for the review.
i have the u28d590d as my secondary screen still, it's not great...
What other better monitor do you suggest in this price range ? Looking to buy one
thank you!
Would this be a good monitor for the PS5??
Normal people dont run tests like this for a damn monitor!
Bad monitor! No dimming light at all and also My problem when I watching videos (on any website) I getting a blurry quality (after I refreshing it looks sharp again), and I don't know how to fix it, I got good PC and fast internet and everything is updated and it's still the same. Thanks!
@Level1Techs Have you noticed that if you plug in two 4K monitors to nVidia GPUs (doesn't matter which one, I've tried 4 different cards, 970 - 1080Ti), it turns off power saving and stays in P0 forever? This happens in Linux, but I've heard it to happen in Windows too. In my tests lowering the refresh rate you can make it to stay in various power states -- they look like being hardcoded to the driver code. Can you test this, it would be nice if someone was talking about the driver quality as it looks like nVidia does not care about quality, only the FPS counter...
thanks for the great video. But l want to ask a question about how to use the profile in Macos? By your link l know how to use it in win10.
From where can I dowload color calib profile for this monitor?Link please...
Hello! Have an update for calibration profile for this monitor ? Thank you !
Would this monitor work with a PS4 Pro? If so, how much difference would there be between this and a TV?
Nah
