Even IF this monitor offered something the Alienware version does not at $1500 its a joke.

I am sure this will be a nice monitor and I hope they reduce the price. The AW3423DWF is less than $1,000 in the USA, with similar specifications, and is available now. AW also has a better warranty, with a 3-year advanced replacement warranty. I have the AW3423DW and it is the best monitor I have ever owned and was a nice upgrade from my AW3821DW.

All these monitors feel like price fixed bs at this point. I feel like the whole industry has decided to stop competing directly and just milk everyone.

Are these quantum dot screens good for productivity? I.e., do they have the issues with odd-looking text because of the way the "pixels" are arranged?

I'd love to buy into one for the obvious gaming improvements but I also need to WORK on the screen most of my time.

The resolution is pathetically low. At that size, 8k would hardly be enough for sharp text.

And for all the RGB-loving fanatics out there, Samsung has you covered with CoreSync and Core Lighting+ via a brilliant glowing orb on the back of the panel that is customizable to your liking.

But what's the point? For most owners it will be facing the wall behind their desk.

Yea, not upgrading till we get a 4K 240hz for that price.

Would you consider 2560x1440 to be "pathetically low" for a 27" monitor? Because that's the same pixel density.

Right? Apparently 110 ppi is not good enough for a monitor... We need to be looking at our 8k screen from 6 inch's away without seeing pixelation.
