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

Product Information

We tested the Samsung at its factory settings using our X-Rite Colorimeter. There’s no doubt that, out of the box, the Samsung was better than the ViewSonic: its 6760K colour temperature is much closer to the 6500K ideal, and the Samsung’s average Delta E of 2.53 was better than its rival, which scored 3.26.

Samsung S32D850T review | Expert Reviews

The business focus of this screen means that its design is entirely function over form. It’s got one of the most versatile stands we’ve seen, with 130mm of tool-free height adjustment, plenty of horizontal swivelling and the ability to swing round into portrait mode. It’s a similar amount of versatility to the ViewSonic VP2772, which only just outreaches the Samsung with 150mm of height adjustment. 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. 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.

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.Samsung’s latest screen excels in several important areas. It looks smart, its stand has versatility that virtually matches the ViewSonic – save for a little less height adjustment – and it’s easy to set up thanks to sensible design and a good menu system.

The 32in Samsung S32D850Tuses VA panel technology, a great all-round panel type which produces excellent contrast levels, accurate colours and allows for very wide viewing angles, which is why it’s often found in larger monitors. It’s a 2,560×1,440 pixel screen, so it provides substantially more desktop space than a typical 1,920×1,080 Full HD monitor. We’ve seen plenty of large monitors offering picture-in-picture (PIP) and picture-by-picture (PBP) modes, but none of them have worked particularly well. These modes are handy because it means you can have the output of two devices onscreen at the same time, with PIP providing an inset image, and PBP placing the inputs side by side. Typically, we end up with two squashed images because the monitor we’ve tested hasn’t told the PC what’s happening so that it can adjust the resolution accordingly. Samsung’s does, which means as soon as you enable PBP, both your connected devices will change their output resolution to create images at the correct aspect ratio and resolution. This means the Samsung S32D850Tis a screen you can share between two computers simultaneously.

The Samsung proved more consistent in other uniformity tests. Across most of the screen its colour temperature deviated by less than 1%, with a slide up to nearer 2% across the right-hand side. That’s not enough to be noticeable.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. Your Samsung OLED monitor comes with Panel Care functions to prevent screen burn-in issues. These include Pixel Refresh and Pixel Shift. Samsung’s screen has reasonable brightness uniformity in its centre, but both of its sides suffered in our test. On the left-hand edge the brightness dropped by an average of 12.82%, and on the right-hand side this figure sat at 12.6%. That’s a little worse than the ViewSonic, but we can cope given this screen’s price.

It’s sturdy and versatile, and image quality is good – it’s got impressive results in the right areas, only lagging behind in departments where excellence is least required. It’s a better option than the rival ViewSonic when it comes to large, impressive work panels.
