The Samsung proved to be the most economical 4K device, but fluffed: if users use it together with the HDMI cable included, it interferes with other devices such as baby monitors. Result: EMC test (electromagnetic compatibility) failed, one mark down.

Simply more in it: With 4K resolution, 10-bit colour depth and AMD Freesync support, the U28E850R's equipment list is full to bursting. However, Samsung uses a TN panel with limited viewing angles.

Depending on how you want to use the 28-inch Samsung, the results are good or not so good. The high UHD resolution is of course a big plus for films or photographs. The good ergonomic features, including the pivot function, are also appealing. However, the TN panel has a rather small view and the colour reproduction is not optimal either...
