Picture Quality
Samsung U28E590D has the TN (Twisted Nematic)panel which is good for those who play games because it has a low response time. With a 1ms response time, the gaming experience will be good, however, this monitor is not designed for the optimal gaming experience. The UHD resolution is the best for home or office usage but it comes with a bitter price too. However, the contrast ratio is not that good and may affect the gaming experience a little. Also the colors look good thanks to the 1 billion colors support, but not as good as they would look on an IPS panel. So if the colors are very important for you or you are doing some color critical work, you may want to go for an IPS panel. We will give 5/5 points for the Samsung U28E590D review part of the picture quality.
Features
One of the most important features of Samsung U28E590D is the AMD Free Sync technology, which comes in handy when playing games. This technology fixes the refresh rate throughout the screen when different part of the screen have different refresh rate. So you won’t see any image tears and choppiness when playing fast movement games. Also this monitor has the flicker free technology so your eyes will be less tired after watching a movie or playing a game and it also supports the eye saver mode. The game mode picture will improve the gaming experience but like we said, this monitor is not designed specifically for playing games. However, it has no integrated speakers which may be a problem for some people and it does not have much connectivity. We will give 4/5 points for the Samsung U28E590D review part of the features.
Design
Samsung U28E590D has a good design in general, although many people like the curved screens. The color looks good but that is a subjective matter. The base is a bit special not like we see on most monitor designs but it does not offer much flexibility except the basic ones. Also it has a nice proportion to the screen, not like some big ugly ones that we have seen. The back of the monitor is simple and does look good, but that is of no importance to the most of the people. The design makes the monitor look good in general and we will give 5/5 points for the Samsung U28E590D review part of the design.
Samsung U28E590D Review Price
Our review price was $399 as of May 2017 which is a good price but again that is a matter of perspective. We will give 5/5 points for the Samsung U28E590D review part of the price.
Conclusions
Samsung U28E590D has a very good picture quality and it is good for everyday usage and for playing games. The UHD resolution is good and the most expensive one. The gaming experience is very good thanks to the AMD free sync technology and the low response time. However, this monitor has a 1000:1 contrast ratio which may affect the gaming or movie watching experience. The response time is the best out there. Samsung U28E590D also has some nice features like the AMD free sync, flicker free technology and the eye saving mode that will make your eyes less tired. The colors look good too thanks to one billion colors support and the mega DCR contrast ratio. Design is very good and so is the price. We hope that our Samsung U28E590D review has been helpful to you.
