samsung X0033D6T1L Samsung LC24RG50FQNXZA

I purchased this for approximately $180 as an Amazon Warehouse/Refurbished deal, with "Like New" condition, and I'm happy with my purchase. The parcel came in a timely manner, and was as described - I even had the delightful privilege of peeling off the plastic that comes with new electronics. I bought this to use as an additional monitor. My desktop already has what I call my "gaming monitor," which is a 144hz TN panel, which also has freesync. It's great for what it does - gaming - and as I have been getting more into streaming, with creating and editing pictures and video, I figured I would try having a second monitor. I did some research on the different panel types (TN, VA, and IPS) and their variants, with their strengths and weaknesses, and, when I saw this monitor, I figured I would pull the trigger. This monitor utilizes an SVA panel, which is an improvement on standard VA panel technology; it has the same rich color contrast, with even better viewing angles (meaning there is no "color shift" when you're not looking at the monitor straight on). Samsung's website advertises this product as "Freesync 2 HDR" which I will take at face value, the colors look good to me, though I have no equipment to measure the accuracy of them. Similarly, the brightness is good, and with the contrast the blacks do look black, and the white really pops. I've had the monitor for several days now, and I'm very happy with my experience with it. I notice the difference in colors and contrast when watching shows or editing photos, and I still get the great, smooth experience that 144hz has to offer. If I have one complaint, it is that the monitor has two freesync modes: "standard" and "ultimate". When I select standard, it has a framerate ceiling of 85hz, while the ultimate allows up to the full 144hz, and, for some games, gave me noticeable "ghosting" issues. These are basically overdrive settings for the monitor to help you fine-tune your gaming experience, and I was kind of bummed to see that the "Standard" setting capped itself at 85hz - I am more disappointed by that than I am of the ghosting.
