Samsung S8 27" 4K IPS USB C Monitor Review | Affordable 4K IPS HDR Monitor LS27A800U

[@ghtechreview]

You can pick this up on sale for $260 amzn.to/3I2DmQX. IDK how long it will last but that is a really good deal.

[@AmazingChinaToday]

I have this monitor. For work, it's MUCH better than a 1080p monitor. Text is crystal clear. The stand is also excellent, and the USB-C output gives me true 4K output from my laptop. The size is good, 32 inches would be too big. The image was initially dim because the default mode is eye saver or power saves, so once that default nonsense is turned off, the monitor is very clear and bright. So many monitors have a terrible stand, but this stand was great. Another inch higher would be ideal, to better clear the laptop screen, but it works. The flat metal base is also nice, and doesn't get in the way. Good purchase so far.

[@robmijn]

Are the speakers decent ?

[@AmazingChinaToday]

@@robmijn The speakers are OK. Since they are rear facing, mounted in an unsealed hollow monitor shell, and are probably inexpensive drivers, the sound is as expected. Honestly, the speakers are a freebie, so can't really complain. I mostly listen with headphones, but for system sounds and casual listening they work good enough.

How is the monitor for gaming? I'm searching for a good 4k monitor for my Xbox series X, do you recommend it?

[@sailingyemaya9781]

Good video. Amazon has this monitor for $199 now for Black Friday

[@ghtechreview]

Best deal so far.

Yep just got one for myself $199.99 huge steal

[@kylegrove8150]

I had missed this deal a couple of times. It dropped down to 186 2 days ago and I ordered one. No ship date yet, but for that price, I don’t mind.

[@pandanck]

That's right, I get mine at the same price

[@jayrollo1352]

Picked this up real cheap at Microcenter. Super happy with the purchase. Bright 4k panel, ips, usb-c connectivity, great height, swivel, tilt adjustable mount. All for a little over 200 bucks.

I bought this last week in Currys/PC World. It cost £270. My only complaint is it doesn't have Adobe colour space on it. But it's a lovely monitor.

[@tbiggsdvs1502]

Okay I’m super hype. Been waiting and waiting to be able to get a 4K monitor lol. I snagged this for literally $50 out of pocket from Best Buy. I had a gift card for $200 lol I’ve been saving for quite sometime now and this was on sale for $280 already had an open box excellency condition for $250 seriously amazing! I’m so excited!🤞🏼🙏🏼 great video by the way as well, came from Best Buy’s review online lol

That is an awesome deal! Thanks for watching :)

[@guidomartinez5099]

Just FYI, I just got this monitor (or a similar one... LS27A800UN) and all three USB ports on the back are data ports. USB 3.0 and with relatively fast charge too.

Great review man, well done! :)

[@MitchellGraff]

Does it have built-in speakers? NO mention yes or no in this video. Thanks.

[@prasanthn3814]

Hi. Do you feel dry eyes problem or eye pain during long hours of using samsung monitor. Do you get good color accuracy during "eye saver mode" on. Please reply

[@ghtechreview]

Hello, I don't but my wife actually does get dry eyes and uses the eye saver mode on hers and says it helps out, but you won't get good color accuracy with eye saver on since the temperature is warmer.

[@oreoness1932]

Is it a best choice for programming?

[@pavnich]

This monitor has too much backlight bleed?

[@ghtechreview]

Mine didn't have that much. Mine has very little in the top left. It's not very noticeable unless you stare at it.

Yes you can change that in the windows personalization setting and set it to Dark.

does this support 4k firestick?

It supports the Chromecast with Google TV 4K, so I'm guessing it should work fine with the fire stick.

What percentage color gamut ?

[@miquelito1000]

Thanks good review. I just bought it, and it looks nice for my Photoshop editing. But twho the hell put the control panel where you cannot see it - under the screen. I thought I could flip it out and in.

[@MrRalphie1000]

Hi! I just bought this monitor and it has a high pitched coil whine when connected to my laptop via usb-c. Is this something you’ve experienced? I saw a reddit thread about it and it seems to be an issue with this monitor. When I plug in the hdmi cable to my laptop at the same time the noise goes away, even if I still have usb-c as the source and it’s charging.

[@chienyeh192]

I have the same issue.. I just bought it 2 weeks ago

[@user-fb3iy1wh9v]

@@chienyeh192, I have the cheaper model (s60ua) I did not notice coil wine in any config. But I was really dissapointed that the usb-c hub turns off once the screen is off, even if the monitor is plugged. This thing simply does not work as hub at all.

dose it come with speakers?!

[@primetiming5846]

in windows 10 if you scale to text to 150 or 125, is it pixelated?

[@user-fb3iy1wh9v]

Ok my LG 4k 27" it is not pixelated. Pixelation does not depend on scalling, but on pixel density alone (how many pixels per inch the monitor has). My Samsung QHD 27 (This model on a lower resolution) the pixelation is a bit noticeable, specially on tiny letters. On a 24" FHD pixelation is bad. On a 27" FHD it is plainlu horrible.

To turn on HDR, you have to use a USB-C port, right? Now I'm using HDMI 1.4, it can't turn on HDR and still display 8-bit. Spec laptop Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M Intel® HD Graphics 530 Windows 10 .latest

[@ghtechreview]

Yeah, use the USB C cable or the Displayport cable for the 10-bit data. HDMI will not display 10-bit only 8-bit on this monitor.

[@adamstiller1390]

True 10 bit ? or 8 bit + FRC ?

[@mustafach20]

8bit +frc

[@furionsama]

If you connect from laptop usb-c to the monitor usb-c, will it get 4k @ 60 Hz? or it will get only 30 Hz?

[@ghtechreview]

It should give you 4K @ 60hz, if it gives you 30, For windows 11 open windows settings --> system --> display --> advanced display --> choose refresh rate, set it to 60Hz.

So , What is the delta E of the monitor ? What is the EXACT AdobeRGB and DCI-P3 gamut ? What is the black / grey uniformity of the monitor ? What is the EXACT brightness and contrast ratio of this monitor ? What even is this nothing of a review ? Your review is terrible ! This is just "this monitor is good" , "good colors" reading straight from the official website BS ! This is not a review , this is just a shameless promo ! Why is it that gaming monitors are the only ones getting proper reviews yet professional office monitors where customer base have higher standards get skimpy ad equivalent of "reviews" like this ?!

[@fcf8269]

As monitor for games, even for occasional gaming it is just trash sadly. You get what you pay for... This is an awesome monitor to do 2 things: work on videos/photos and to watch movies. Even internet is basically horrible as experience, since the refresh rate cause ghosting on the panel if you are reading a bright page with dark text. Unlike a 120Hz or higher panel, where scrolling of text is smooth, on this monitor you get a lot of blurring and ghosting. Which is sad, since even 90Hz would be enough to remove the issue, but this is not a gaming panel to start with, so nothing against Samsung for making a cheap 4K monitor that is made for 2 specific workflows, and nothing more. HDR is also pretty much useless on this monitor; so if you can afford 300-400 dollars more, get a better 4K monitor that double as gaming monitor and also has a good HDR response. If you use this as secondary monitor just for video/photo editing and to watch content; then it is totally worth the money
