Head over to Bestbuy to grab the cheapest Samsung 4K monitor right now. With a saving of $150 (43%), the ViewFinity UR55 is a stunning bargain at just $199.99. What’s more, It is bundled with a 6-month subscription to Trend Micro Antivirus and a 3-month Youtube Premium subscription (worth about $40).
4K is the highest mainstream resolution and I thoroughly encourage everyone who hasn’t yet switched to it, to do so, especially for productivity use cases. Once you view your browser in UHD (about 8 million pixels), you won’t want to go back to something smaller.

The UR55 has a diagonal of 28-inch which is in my view the minimum display size needed to enjoy 4K content in all its glory. Samsung used an IPS panel which, it says, “preserves color vividness and clarity across every inch of the screen”.
Other noteworthy features include a 4ms response time, a 60Hz refresh rate, HDR, a very thin bezel on three sides, the ability to display content from two sources side by side, AMD FreeSync and a VESA mount.
So, no this is not a great gaming monitor or one for photo retouching tasks (there’s no mention of color gamut in its specs) but it will be a more than adequate viewing peripheral for most of us. It doesn’t have any speakers but does have an audio out port; that’s a minor niggle in my book. It sports two HDMI and one DisplayPort connection with a tilt feature.
