Pros & Cons
Pros
I really like this monitor but it has shortcomings that keep me from loving it. The only small issue i have is mounting options. I am glad i purchase this instead of the odyssey g9, because this is lighter.
The screen is amazing on this, so much space to utilize. Adjusts down to 18. The width of 5k makes it the coolest of the three monitors. I use microsoft power toys to partition the screen into zones.
Hdmi's and 2 display ports. Comes with two display port cables included! Samsung, hp, asus rog. The picture is a plus if you want to connect more inputs. One is connected via mini displayport and the other via displayport to usb-c cable.

I got it for $800 on prime day sale, but not sure i would spend the full retail price (currently $1300) for it.
Not that big of a deal but still somewhat annoying given the cost.
Packaging/appearance
The packaging was done super well since my biggest fear was a broken screen.
The remote control to adjust things is a better deal than the buttons under the front of the screen.
I use microsoft power toys to partition the screen into zones and when i open up outlook or zoom, it goes to its designated spo... Read More
Competitiveness
This is a 4ms panel and even though its not as fast as most it still really shines for most games, even fps ones.
Huge upgrade from dual 24in 1080p monitors.
Samsung is coming out with a 55 inch curved monitor at 3840 x 1600 so that could be ideal, but the price will no doubt be even ... Read More
