Got this monitor a couple weeks ago when it was on sale. $800 is definitely a steal, but for the quality that this brings, it’s well worth the $1500. The vivid colors on the screen, the speakers in the monitor, the speed when gaming, THE ANTI GLARE… chefs kiss! I also use this for work (split my screen 4 ways) and it feels like i have 4 regular monitors within the one—it’s amazing. I will never go back to a smaller monitor again!!

I have had this monitor for close to two months & I love it every time I look at it. The deep inky blacks are so distracting. The 4k clarity in all of my games are what rejuvenated a huge part of me that had been missing since I was a kid. I completed this purchase 9/7/22 & I have logged 266 hours on my monitor so far. YES IT WILL TELL YOU! & not a single issue. OLED CARE I play & use with the OLED screen care every day all day. There is a couple of settings to prevent any burn in. The image & pixel cleaning that are part of the OLED screen savers setting. They clean the screen while the screen is off after longer sessions. Maybe anything over 2 hours will give you a cleaning reminder. There is also a setting called Screen Move which will move your screen at the speed of light every minute or so so that not all pixels are just shining the same thing. It is a little noticeable in the day time because sometimes you will notice a bezel is bigger then the other ones. This actually makes me happy knowing that feature is working. No burn ins 266 hours after use. I play a lot of Minecraft which is notorious for burn ins with the HUD at the bottom. THE BAD This monitor is next to perfect. The price is a little high, but I found a 1200 deal which was not too bad. It is almost the price of my computer tho, but the experience is worth it. Im sure I have not gotten all of its value yet. I am sure I will. I purchased the 4 year warranty so I am protected. People need to know... This is not a TV. No dolby vision (not mainstream for games). This is a gaming monitor. This is mainly for the PC gamers but I could see this being great for XBSX/PS5. THE GOOD The whole thing is good. Bright colors, Bright panel, Anti-glare, 4k, OLED, 138 HZ, Clarity, OLED

As long as you understand this isn’t a TV and is in fact a gaming monitor, you’ll love this monitor (as long as 48” isn’t too big for you). This monitor has been perfect for me and pairs nicely with my new RTX 3080, colors look amazing (of course, it is OLED), and refresh rate is perfect. Having G-Sync also really helps and HDR gaming on Windows 11 has proved it’s worth! Is a tad bit pricey, but I’m my opinion, if you have $1,500 to even consider it, it’s worth the price. I got it on sale for $1,299. I know people choose the C2 over this monitor, but I’m happy with this monitor over the C2, due to the alone fact that this has DisplayPort and OC to 138hz, where as the C2 doesn’t. It does have 3 HDMI 2.1 ports, which make it also perfect for the PS5 and Xbox Series X. I have yet to have any issues with the monitor other than the DisplayPort cable it came with was broke, but that has nothing to do with the Display. Only thing I wish is that it had a 42” variant.
