It features a 31.5 PLS (Plane to Line Switching) panel with a 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution. You can expect it to feature a semi glossy (very light matte) screen surface and achieve a 60Hz refresh rate at native resolution using SST (so it is seen by Windows as a single monitor). A typical brightness of 350 cd/m2 is specified in High-Bright mode and an 8ms grey to grey response time is specified.
The monitor is clearly aimed at users who care about colour, particularly those wed classify as colour professionals. It sports true 10-bits per subpixel colour support without FRC dithering and features a GB-LED backlight design which allows it to achieve a wide colour gamut of an impressive 99.5% Adobe RGB. Samsung specifically mention that the backlight is flicker-free as well although some of their other models use PWM-free (flicker-free) backlights they dont generally state this in the product specifics as they have here. The monitor is factory calibrated to within an average DeltaE of <1 and boasts a guaranteed uniformity of >90% (meaning that the greatest deviation accepted in the factory between the brightest and dimmest of 25 measured points on the screen is 10%). It has a 16-bit LUT (Look-Up Table) for enhanced colour precision. The monitor features hardware calibration, meaning users can modify the LUT directly with a compatible colorimeter.
Expanding upon its already impressive colour capabilities, the monitor features a wealth of different color mode presets. There is a Calibration mode for the aforementioned user-based hardware calibration and a Custom mode which can have three different user-configured sets of settings saved. Beyond that there is an sRGB emulation mode to cut down the colour gamut to what is the current common standard for most digital media, an Adobe RGB mode and a High-brightness mode. The High-brightness mode uses minimal calibration in order to maximise contrast.
