Question 1

Is this Samsung product free of fire/explosions?

Accepted Answer

ARE YOU KIDDING!!!   I have seen some really awesome fires and explosions on this screen!!  It reproduces the UHD video so well you feel like you're right there in the middle of it all!  (Using TWO of these!)
As for the monitor itself, not even a hiccup! With TWO, it;s double the treat and the main reason I don't have a VR headset.  It is pretty impressive playing most games at 2K (2560x1440) as most games do NOT run so well at 4K!  I play Black Desert Online, World of Warcraft, and Elite Dangerous (Among others) and BDO and ED are fantastic on this monitor.  Not to mention how well Windows 10 Pro works with these.

Question 2

Hi. does the u28e590d come with an hdmi 2.0 cable?

Accepted Answer

It comes with a both an HDMI cable and a DP cable, however it doesn't say if its HDMI 2.0 or not.  I ended up buying a longer cable as it was only 6-8 feet long.On the back of the monitor there are TWO HDMI connectors, HDMI 1 is for a HDMI 1.4 cable (4k @ 30Hz) HDMI 2 is for a HDMI 2.0 cable (4k @ 60Hz), so make sure you use the correct plug based on the cable.

Question 3

What kind of cable does one use to connect this at full resolution to a newer model Macbook Pro?

Accepted Answer

If by "newer", you mean either a mid-2014 or mid-2015 models with the retina display, you need to use the mini-displayport (really Thunderbolt, Apple's name) cable. You will get the full 3840X2160 video at 60Hz. If you use the HDMI port of your MBP (15" only), here are the resolutions you can get:Support for 1080p resolution at up to 60HzSupport for 3840-by-2160 resolution at 30HzSupport for 4096-by-2160 resolution at 24Hz

Question 4

Can i use this as my xbox one monitor?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. I use it with my Xbox Series X and it displays perfectly in 4K/60fps when plugged into HDMI 2 port. (Note: Both the HDMI 2 and DisplayPort can display 4K/60fps, but not HDMI 1)
