We tested the 27" model, which has a 1440p, 144Hz screen. There is also a 32" model, which has a 4k screen and 60Hz refresh rate. We don't know how the 32" model performs.
Our Verdict
Decent monitor for most uses. It has good screen real estate, which is good for multitasking. The native contrast ratio is very good, so blacks look black in dark scenes, but it has poor black uniformity. The 144Hz refresh rate is great for gaming, and it has outstanding low input lag. Unfortunately, the image degrades when viewed at an angle.
- Unique space-saving design.
- Good native contrast ratio.
- Image degrades when viewed at an angle.
The Space SR75 is an acceptable monitor for office use. The 1440p, 27" screen is great for multitasking, and it supports both Picture-In-Picture and Picture-By-Picture, which is great for working on two computers at once. It can get decently bright and has decent reflection handling, so it should look good in most rooms. Unfortunately, the image degrades when viewed at an angle.
This is a great monitor for gaming. It has a fast refresh rate and excellent response time, as well as outstanding low input lag, for a responsive gaming experience. It also supports FreeSync with the latest firmware update, ensuring a nearly tear-free gaming experience. Unfortunately, the image degrades when viewed at an angle.
Decent monitor for multimedia. It has a very good native contrast ratio, good for watching dark scenes, but unfortunately, it has poor black uniformity. The Space SR75 has a fast response time, so motion looks great, with very little motion blur. Unfortunately, the image degrades rapidly when viewed at an angle, so it isn't ideal for watching with a group of people.
Decent monitor overall for media creation. The 27", 1440p screen allows you to see more of your work than a 1080p monitor. The unique stand has an outstanding tilt range, but can't rotate the monitor to a portrait orientation. Unfortunately, the image degrades when viewed at an angle, and it doesn't support HDR.
The Samsung SR75 does not support HDR. For a decent HDR Gaming monitor, check out the Samsung CHG70 instead.

We buy and test more than 30 monitors each year, all of which we purchase ourselves, without cherry-picked units or samples. We put a lot into each unbiased, straight-to-the-point review, and there's a whole process from purchasing to publishing, involving multiple teams and people. We do more than just use the monitor for a week; we use specialized, custom tools to measure various aspects and deliver objective, data-driven results. We also consider multiple factors before making any recommendations, including the monitor's cost, its performance compared to the competition, and whether it's easy to find.
