Got Best Buy to price match Amazon for about $950. Setting it up right now, it's not as annoyingly large as I thought it was going to be and it is very slim.
It's a sweet looking monitor aesthetically.

The UI isn't the best imo but the picture is insane and brighter than I thought it would be.

Yeah I’m definitely enjoying it so far. One thing I don’t like about it though are the mini/micro inputs.

Yeah man I'm loving my OLED more and more each day. It's crazy when you see space scenes or even a black screen where the movie title pops up while the rest of the screen looks like your TV is completely off. That chit is wildOriginally Posted by rocketfish

Yeah don't get me wrong my QLED is fantastic and I use it for streaming, guests love it too... But gaming and 4ks on the OLED is next level.Originally Posted by rollerball

I just bought my Neo Odyssey G7 this past year so I can't justify buying this. Should have waited and gotten the oled version lol fml.
Good choice op, enjoy.Sig line can't be a novel

Great monitor but it’s annoying when you’re coming out of sleep mode on the PC.

42" is too large for my purpose but that's a great TV for PC use. I was considering getting the C3 version but yeah it's just too big.Originally Posted by TugOfPeace

So this thing feels almost no different than my S95B QD-OLED in functionality and performance. It works as a stand alone TV with wifi, it's literally no different than a smart TV and it comes with a remote control.
At the $950ish that it's being offered at Amazon actually does not seem over priced to me. This is a great PC monitor. I do wish the zoom function worked with more streaming apps though. It's retarded watching a 16:9 movie with black bars on all four sides.

I'm in love with the aesthetics of that monitor. I actually dont care about the display quality or refresh rate specs. I wish they made an LCD with those aesthetics. Even if its 1080p and 60hz, i would buy it.
I'm currently using a 55" LG C1 as my monitor. So I already got the OLED covered. Really don't need OLED on a PC monitor.--------------------- ϞϞ( ๑⚈ ․̫ ⚈๑). ---------------------

No biggie though. I think I'm good with this for the next 5 or unless I really desperately need an update or this breaks lol. By then oled panels should be a lot more affordable too.Sig line can't be a novel
