How do you choose the Samsung monitor that suits you?

Samsung is of all trades, also when it comes to the production of monitors. Take the large selection of curved monitors, for example, which makes watching movies and gaming even more immersive. Or choose the Odyssey series for the best gaming experience. In this article, we'll help you choose a suitable Samsung monitor for you.

Choose a Samsung monitor

Super ultrawide Samsung monitor

Samsung offers a wide selection of monitors with different properties. These come in handy in different usage situations. To be able to help you better, we ask you the following questions:

  • How large should the screen be?
  • How sharp should the image be?
  • How high should the refresh rate be?
  • Do you want a curved monitor?
  • How bright should the screen be?
  • Do you want a smart monitor?

How large should the screen be?

Medium-sized Samsung monitor

Medium-sized: 23 up to 25 inches

The average-sized monitors by Samsung have a comfortable screen size for all work. No matter if you type reports as a student or prepare presentations as a communication employee. These screen sizes offer enough room for 2 windows next to each other for both your work and fun tasks. The thin bezels allow you to place 2 or more monitors next to each other, without being bothered by the bezel in the middle. This makes it even easier to multitask.

Large Samsung monitor

Large: 27 up to 29 inches

When you're ready for more screen space, choose a larger Samsung monitor. For example, when you need a larger overview of your work or get started with image editing. The Samsung LS27R650 is a good example of this. The thin bezels provide the same advantage. Place 2 27-inch monitors next to each other for a gigantic screen space, without the bezels bothering you.

Extra large Samsung monitor

Extra large: 32 inches and larger

For the largest overview, choose an extra large Samsung monitor. These ultrawide and super ultrawide screens offer extra screen space. This is especially useful if you get started with video editing or like to play open world games. Adjust the field of view for an unknown overview of your game. Keep in mind that your desk needs to be large enough. These monitors take up a lot of space.

How sharp should the image be?

Full HD monitor by Samsung

Full HD (1920x1080)

The Samsung Full HD monitors are the ideal option for every situation. You can get through the day in a comfortable way and enjoy sharp images while you watch movies. For gamers, Full HD offers the advantage of a high refresh rate. So you'll have a large advantage over your opponents and you'll see them before they see you. Keep in mind that Full HD looks grainy and blurry on monitors larger than 27 inches.

QHD monitor by Samsung

Quad HD/QHD (2560x1440)

A Samsung QHD monitor displays images twice as sharp as a Full HD monitor. Your photos and videos come to live more and it's also beneficial for your games. For example, the small details in an open world game are more visible. Thanks to the larger number of pixels, QHD also has advantages for office work. Icons and text becomes smaller, so you have more screen space. Open multiple windows next to each other and make it as easy as possible to multitask.

4K monitor by Samsung

4K (3840x2160)

The 4K monitors by Samsung offer the best experience for both gaming and image editing. For Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, for example. The English landscapes look even sharper and the smallest grass blades are visible on your screen. When you edit photos and videos, you zoom in on the smallest details without losing sharpness. As has been said many times before, a small monitor isn't ideal for a 4K resolution. So keep this in mind if that's what you prefer.

How high should the refresh rate be?

Fortnite at 60Hz on a Samsung monitor

Low: 60 to 75Hz

The Samsung monitors with a refresh rate of 60 to 75Hz are an option for novice gamers, students, or office work. Games like Minecraft and The Sims are displayed smoothly on the screen if you don't have an expensive video card. For Fortnite, 75Hz is better as a novice gamer. With a quarter more images, you'll have an extra advantage with shooters and racing games. That's because you'll see your opponents sooner.

Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War on a 144Hz Samsung monitor

Average: 100 to 144Hz

For the competitive gamer, Samsung introduced the Odyssey gaming series. These gaming monitors have a refresh rate of 100 to 144Hz, which display shooters smoothly. For example, take the Samsung Odyssey G5. Start Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War or F1 2021 and enjoy smooth images.

Overwatch at 240Hz on a Samsung monitor

High: 165 to 240Hz

Do you even want to take it one step further? Choose a Samsung gaming monitor with a refresh rate of 165 to 240Hz. The monitor refreshes the images extremely fast, without losing sharpness. The Samsung Odyssey G7 is a great example of this. Please note, these monitors are rather expensive.

Do you want a curved monitor?

Curved monitor by Samsung

With a curved monitor, you can enjoy various advantages. It's almost as if the screen curves around your field of vision. That's why the distance between the screen and your face is the same for each part of the screen. So you won't be bothered by light glares and reduce the chance on neck and back complaints. The greatest advantage is the experience. Thanks to the curve, it feels like your in the middle of all the action. For example during gaming or when you watch movies. The curvier the screen, the more intense the experience.

How bright should the screen be?

Dim the Samsung screen with less than 300 candelas

Low: lower than 300 nits

A screen with a low brightness is less clearly visible in darker and brightly lit rooms, but is often the most common one. During normal circumstances, you won't be bothered with a low brightness. That's why these screens are good for normal tasks, but less suitable for gaming and image editing. A monitor with a low brightness shows dull colors. Do you want to get started with image editing and gaming? Choose a monitor with a brightness of at least 300 nits.

Averagely bright screen from Samsung with 300 candelas

Standard: 300-350 nits

The threshold of 300 nits makes monitors suitable for graphic tasks, like image editing and gaming. Your screen is better visible and colors are displayed more lively. Samsung monitors with a brightness of 300 nits are suitable for amateur and semi-professional image editing. For gaming, you're fine with at least 300 nits. Are you getting started with professional image editing? Choose a monitor with a brightness higher than 350 nits.

High: higher than 350 nits

Samsung monitors with a brightness higher than 350 nits are suitable for the most professional tasks. In addition to the always clearly visible screen, you can also benefit from the color representation. Samsung monitors with a brightness higher than 350 nits are able to get the DisplayHDR 400, 600, or 1000 certificates. The colors seem deeper and more realistic, both in photos, videos, and games.

Do you want a smart monitor?

A smart monitor is more than just a screen to work on. With the built-in Smart Hub, you can stream various media from your smartphone to the monitor. Start your favorite Netflix or HBO series after your working day and use your Samsung smart monitor as a television. In addition, these monitors have a pre-installed Office package, so you can get started right away.
