Samsung LS32D850T 32-Inch WQHD PLS LED Monitor (2560 x 1440, 300 cd/m2, 16:9)

Product Information

The “Cool” colour options served up improved Delta E levels but colour temperatures that hit 8084K and 9427K respectively, with brightness that dropped by around a quarter. This screen’s pair of Warm options were no better: colour temperatures were a long way below the 6500K ideal. While it’s true that those results are on the cool and warm side of the colour temperature scale, everything else is so hampered that we can’t imagine using them. It doesn’t get much easier to set up a monitor – just place the Samsung face-down on a desk, swing the stand into position, and you’re good to go. A screwdriver only comes out if you need to remove the stand to attach a VESA mount.

It’s simple to switch the Samsung into a different position because of the smoothness and ease of its mechanisms, and it’s a little easier to use than the Viewsonic VP2772 – that particular monitor required a pin to fasten its height-adjustment system.My Contents on your Samsung Smart Monitor will display your favourite photos when the monitor is idle. In typical Samsung fashion, the physical design of this monitor has been given as much attention as its technical specifications. The monitor’s bezels are angled inwards, which creates a distinctive and pointy design that makes them appear thinner than they really are. The base of the monitor is very large but, importantly, flat. The base also doesn’t move when you swivel the monitor, which means that both it and the surrounding desk space won’t need to be shuffled around if you change the S32D850T’s position. We were able to further improve the Samsung’s results by calibrating the screen with our colorimeter. With the RGB levels tweaked, the colour temperature rose slightly to 6966K but the Delta E improved to a stonking 0.89. That’s great but, obviously, it’s of niche interest – you’ll need your own colorimeter to hit these numbers.

This is no gaming system, and VA panels aren’t known for their responsiveness, so it’s no surprise that this screen’s response times weren’t great. The panel comes with three modes – Standard, Faster and Fastest. There’s a gaming mode, although it seems somewhat redundant on an office screen. This mode simply ramped the average Delta E up to 9.83 and, to our eyes, made every colour look oversaturated. We wouldn’t use it, even for gaming. The Samsung is larger, cheaper and with better image quality than the ViewSonic. If you want a large office monitor without making the step up to 4K, then this is worth a punt. Verdict

Samsung makes a big play about the environmental credentials of this screen. When running at factory settings the screen consumed 56W, but it’s possible to load up a couple of eco-friendly modes to reduce that figure. These options had little effect on image quality other than reducing the brightness, and they dropped the power consumption dramatically: the first ran the screen at 170 nits with a consumption figure of 45W, while the second hit 123 nits and 41W.In the Faster mode, which is the factory default, the Samsung sat at a middling 34.3ms. In Standard mode that result dropped to 41.8ms, and it improved to 31.3ms with Fastest mode chosen. None of those results will set the world alight but, equally, they’re not poor enough to be noticeable during the working day – or during most games, for that matter. Samsung’s trio of Magic Bright options returned mixed results. Its Standard mode dropped the brightness to 155 nits while maintaining colour temperature and accuracy, so it’s a worthwhile choice if the Samsung’s factory settings are too much. Dynamic Contrast mode made little difference aside from worsening Delta E, and the Cinema mode had a similar effect.
