It's a great little computer. I just needed a computer to do some light surfing and entertainment. I have an i7 desktop and laptop for the heavy lifting. It's a great looking unit sitting on my bookshelf.
I bought the i3 knowing it would be slower than my i7s, but man, is it slower. But the i3 was on sale.
I'm a little miffed that I didn't get the keyboard/mouse that was advertised with the product. I have those with my desktop and they're very sharp. This came with pretty generic keyboard/mouse, wireless, but generic.
Overall, I'd buy it again if it were on sale, but its not worth the retail price.

Too early to tell

Right now, it doesn't do much other than scroll or control volume. It does work with Windows Ink. But I don't use that. Hopefully, it will develop for non-Studio users too. I have a Surface Book, but can't afford the Studio.

Saw this for the first time in person on Saturday. Bought it Sunday. It is amazingly beautiful. It's all I could think about. I had seen it online before, and probably even thought I'd never spend that much on a PC.
That said, out of the box it was slooooow. But I'm sure it was downloading a ton of updates. It's not as fast as my i7 desktop, but having an all-in-one with a ton less clutter on the desk is worth it for the things I do.
Microsoft Store had it for $150 less, so at least I got that on price match.
It's definitely a show piece.

Took me days of agonizing if I wanted to spend this much on a monitor or not. But with an Amazon price match, and $105 in Best Buy Rewards, I couldn't pass it up. And I'm glad I didn't.
Absolutely love this monitor. But for $1000, it should come with a displayPort cable. Thanks for the VGA cable, but it went right in the trash.
Great picture. Easy set up. Lots of connections.

Great picture. not much else
on August 2, 2014
Posted by: tommyWI
from Milwaukee WI
Yep, as others have said, the stand is embarrassing for a company like Samsung. This stand deserves to be on some knock off brand being sold out of the back of a truck.
The on screen menu controls are on the BACK of the monitor in a "wheel" configuration. Yes, let's make it as awkward as humanly possible.
No VESA.
The only reason I bought this is that it was in stock at a local Best Buy and I had a couple hundred dollars in reward points to blow. Otherwise, I probably would have bought something else online. Kinda wish I had the DELL now with the pivot stand.
Picture quality is good. But other than that, not much else to brag about. Will look good on my desk.

Touch is the way to go
on May 26, 2014
Posted by: tommyWI
from Milwaukee WI
Got this on sale for 499. Don't think I would ever pay $699.
First things first. The manual says you don't need to hook up the USB cable. You do. Touch doesn't seem to work without it. I was afraid I got a malfunctioning unit and was about to take it back.

Once set up, its great. I love the multiple reclining positions of the monitor. Touch is just so natural. The power switch is in an awkward position. Often times when I grab the monitor by the side to adjust the recline, at least one of my fingers hits the power button and turns it off.
Comparing the monitor to my LG 27" 1080p, the colors on the Acer are a little washed out, but nothing horrendous.
I'm sure some will complain about the built-in speakers, but they're built-in speakers, they're not meant to be great quality.
Overall, I'd buy this again. And just might #if the price hits 499 again#.
What's great about it: easy set up. touch.
What's not so great: washed out

WARNING: requires specific video cards
on December 14, 2013
Posted by: tommyWI
from Milwaukee WI
Monitor has requirements as to what video card it will work with. These requirements are ONLY in the manual and not on Best Buy's website or even LG's website.
I have a Radeon 75xx series. It requires a 77xx series. Bought it and took it back the same day.
I can run three 27" monitors but not ONE of these.

I got this on sale for $60, so it's worth the price. I got it to replace my Braun that was dying. This razor does not shave very close. I have to go back with a disposable razor to finish up. Overall, decent, but glad I didnt pay full price.
What's great about it: got it on sale
What's not so great: doesn't shave very close

I've had it for awhile now. It's resting on a very sturdy desk so I don't see the wobble issue with the stand as much. Picture is great. Replaced three 27" monitors with this one.
Would up it to 4 stars if they'd allow. Still wish it had a VESA mount.
