A necessary accessory.

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you have or plan to buy an LG curved screen OLED then you need this accessory if you intend to mount the TV on the wall or, as is my case, on a pedestal. A standard wall mount would not easily adapt to the curve and, more importantly, to the non-square orientation of the mounting screws on the back of the TV. It easily mounted to the bracket on my Sanus pedestal, although it does add a bit of depth.
Kudos to Best Buy for including it with the purchase of the TV.

Breakthrough Technology
on March 26, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
All that has been written about OLED technology being a breakthrough advancement in picture quality is true. In my opinion, this is true based on the ability of OLED to recreate absolute black levels with no smearing or bleed. Remarkable!
I have long been a Sony XBR devotee with only one brief departure to sample Plasma. What convinced me to stray to LG OLED here was the knock your socks off (passive) 3D I witnessed in a Magnolia showroom. What I witnessed there was far superior to the (active) 3D I was experiencing at home with my 4K Sony XBR. I have to say that what I see at home with the LG OLED and normal content is no different from the Sony - disappointing.
With that exception, I am totally satisfied with this OLED TV based on its unmatched picture quality.

Works as advertised

Not really too much to say about a device such as this except that it works as advertised and does a good job.
I finally made the switch to a 4K flat screen monitor for the computer. Most of these monitors have HDMI inputs. My Mac Pro uses Mini Display Port outputs so I needed an adaptor. Based on prior experience with the quality of Belkin devices, I purchased this one.
Total satisfaction...

Samsung 28" S271HL U28E590D 4K UHD Monitor: See all of your photo's details during editing. Video game levels look amazing. The large screen allows you to have multiple windows open at once to get more work done.

Flawless upscaling
on December 6, 2014
Posted by: vonb
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been resisting moving from CRT based technology to flat screen technology for my computer display for years. One of my old CRT's was recently on its last legs so I decided to take the plunge.
On my Mac Pro, I had a pair of 21" CRT displays, so I wanted something with a lot of screen real estate. I bought a 24" LED display with full HD (1920x1080) resolution. As soon as it was hooked up and configured, via HDMI, I was disappointed with the resolution. On this large screen, it was easy to see the individual pixels and everything looked too 'grainy.' Since I do a lot of photographic work, this was unacceptable. So I returned it and purchased this Samsung 28" UD590 4K (3840x2160) monitor, based on my satisfaction with my 4K television.
In my opinion, the best feature is the very clean upscaling to 4K resolution that the monitor does. My older Mac Pro video card does not have the capability to drive to more than 1920x1080 (full HD) resolution. The upscaling from full HD to 4K in the monitor takes full advantage of the native panel resolution. The pixellation is gone and everything looks great, especially photos. I use a Belkin Mini Display Port to HDMI adaptor (reviewed elsewhere).
Total satisfaction here and my angst over moving to flat screen monitors is alleviated!
So don't fret if your system can not natively support 4K resolution - let this monitor do the heavy lifting... Just first ensure that your video sub-system can support wide screen (16x9) formats.
