A Shelf Awareness Best Book of the Year From the beloved and best-selling author of Plainsong and Eventide comes a story of life and death, and the ties that bind, once again set out on the High Plains in Holt, Colorado. When Dad Lewis is diagnosed with terminal cancer, he and his wife, Mary, must work together to make his final days as comfortable as possible. Their daughter, Lorraine, hastens back from Denver to help look after him; her devotion softens the bitter absence of their estranged son, Frank, but this cannot be willed away and remains a palpable presence for all three of them. Next door, a young girl named Alice moves in with her grandmother and contends with the painful memories that Dad's condition stirs up of her own mother's death. Meanwhile, the town's newly arrived preacher attempts to mend his strained relationships with his wife and teenaged son, a task that proves all the more challenging when he faces the disdain of his congregation after offering more than they are accustomed to getting on a Sunday morning. And throughout, an elderly widow and her middle-aged daughter do everything they can to ease the pain of their friends and neighbors. Despite the travails that each of these families faces, together they form bonds strong enough to carry them through the most difficult of times. Bracing, sad and deeply illuminating, Benediction captures the fullness of life by representing every stage of it, including its extinction, as well as the hopes and dreams that sustain us along the way. Here Kent Haruf gives us his most indelible portrait yet of this small town and reveals, with grace and insight, the compassion, the suffering and, above all, the humanity of its inhabitants.Binding Type: Paperback

Smart Features Overkill (for me)
Size: 32"
This monitor arrived promptly and undamaged. The picture quality is excellent, and the refresh rate has my games looking silky-smooth. If it was a normal monitor without smart features, I would give it 5 stars.
The smart capabilities make this somewhat obnoxious from time to time. I just had an update (that prompted this review) that had a pop-up box telling me Samsung policies have been updated, but I was unable to dismiss it with my mouse or keyboard. I had to wait for it to time out or use the remote. There are also countdown screens during boot-up and shut-down that can be annoying at times, though to be fair, I have not attempted to disable them. It also occasionally just likes to pop up notifications that aren't from my computer about input or monitor settings (not pc display settings). It's really a pretty small nuisance, but after a few months sometimes has me wishing I had just dropped the cash on a nicer 4k monitor w/out smart capabilities.
I would imagine it being quite convenient in a dorm or small apartment setting if you were also using it as a smart tv on a regular basis. Not a bad product by any means, just a few extra bells and whistles that occasionally get in the way of how I typically use it. I picked it up on sale for right around $400 and feel that was fair. If I had to pay more, I would probably make the jump to 4k and shop at that higher price point instead.

Its a TV too!
Size: 32"
I got this monitor for my computer for the most part.
Excellent quality
Colors are great, no dead pixels on arrival. Bright and easy to see.
Comes with a remote which I thought was strange and put it aside for a few months.
Then when I found the remote again I played with it and realized this was also a TV!!
So for the price it is an amazing gaming monitor and a smart tv on top of that this is great value for the money.
The curve may make it difficult to see as a tv if you are in a large space but for what it is made for there is no problem at all. And you can adjust if you do move around the room.

Great Gaming Monitor at an Affordable Price
Size: 32"
Solid Monitor with a high quality image with strong blacks on a VA panel, fantastic 240hz refresh rate, quick response time. Comes with some extra built in UI features and a remote for TV like functions or cloud gaming, which I don't really need, seeing as I am using this exclusively as a PC monitor. But certainly not a downside. Wasn't perfect out of the box, but with a little calibration and optimizing, gaming at 240 FPS looks and feels great. Perfect alongside my old 1440p 144hz monitor as a second monitor, and my new PC. Able to hit those 1440p/240FPS marks with my 7950X3D and 7900XTX GPU.
Would recommend at it's current sale price just under $500. If your looking to spend more, consider an OLED option in the $800-1000 range for a screen with comparable specs. Also has Freesync Premium Pro with an effecting range from 60-240FPS for system/titles that are unable to hit that 240hz refresh rate at all times. From my testing this seems most optimal from 120-240 FPS, 60-120 FPS seems a bit less effective. Either way great monitor for the money spent.
