How does this compare to the Samsung model found at Sam's club for the same price? Is Viotek a better brand of monitor than Samsung? The Samsung has a 4 ms response time compare to this one at 14 ms.

RetiredALWorking on this answer for you about this response time. There are two types of response time on monitors.
Response Time on/off = 14ms
Response Time GtG = ? (my guess is 5ms but I am confirming) This is also the spec that everyone goes by.
For example check out this LG monitor spec on LG's website. They actually show both response times. http://www.lg.com/us/business/commercial-display/it-products/desktop-monitors/lg-34UC87M-B
The Viotek is a Samsung VA panel so the quality will be the same as samsung as far as the panel itself. Next the Samsung you linked has thick black bezels around the panel which most people find undesirable. The Viotek is virtually border-less. The stands on both these monitors are also a big difference as the Viotek stand has a sleeker design and brushed aluminum finish.
Lastly, if you wanted to put 2 or more of these monitors side by side the Viotek will look very sexy as there wont be a noticeable gap in between panels. However, with the Samsung you will have a near 2" gap in between panels because of the large bezels.
Cheers.

Tex-ArozziI went back to check again and the 4ms is GtG response time. As for the bezel, that doesn't really affect my choice. I was also looking to use it mounted on an arm so the stand doesn't have much influence in that part of the decision. I will have to check to see if the Samsung has VESA capabilities. From what I've seen, the Viotek does not. I did notice that the Samsung lists that it has freesync capabilities. The Viotek mentions special gaming mode but doesn't use the buzzword freesync in the description. I guess one is about as good as the other.

RetiredALYes, before I was referring to this Viotek monitor that we are offering. The Response time for on/off is 14ms. I do not have the GtG response time confirmed yet. That is why I said 5ms is my guess as most monitors with a 14ms on/off response time they will have a 5ms GtG.
