Pointless superficial review, standard for Wired, Verge etc - no brightness uniformity check, no color uniformity check, no color accuracy check, no coating grain check. Meanwhile a good number of reports mention terrible uniformity issues with that model.

when I want display reviews I go to rtings.com haven't found anyone who compares

Agreed; rtings has by far the best reviews and comparisons, and detailed tests nobody else seems to do.

I originally found them because they were one of the only sources that tested for PWM flicker in monitors.

I use an 8K 55" TV. It was much cheaper than an equivalent monitor and is equivalent to 4x 27" 4k panels. Text rendering is sublime. I wish the panel was still in production with more dimming zones and DP input.

This is such a cool idea. Text was the one thing I was concerned about with perhaps color correctness/accuracy/calibration options secondarily, but I'm sure they've got that down. But hearing that the text looks good is the biggest thing. I may actually consider going down this road.

I can't vouch for the color but it's an LCD panel so I suspect it's probably not the best. I have no way of testing this though.

Text is just a function of pixel count and using the standard rgb lcd cell.

The 55" model hasn't been made in a few years so you'd have to buy used. You'd have to beg samsung to bring it back.

For an org I worked for not long ago, I had them buy many of the previous incarnations of this monitor. They all died of an internal power supply issue within a year each. Even the replacements I got died within a year.

The external power supply bricks aren't much better. I've had a few 27" LG 4k monitors, and the ones with a brick seem to fail more frequently (in the monitor, brick was fine).

I really wish more people wanted screens that looked as good as their cellphone.

Bright, sharp text, great color. We've had the great Apple Studio Display for years now, it's about time others came to fix some of it's short-comings like 27" size, 60hz and lack of HDMI ports for use with other systems.

So many of us have to stare at a screen for hours every day and having one that reduces strain on my eyes is well worth $1-3k if they'd just make them.

Ah, I had the same issue, I bet you were powering laptops through the monitor. See my comment on this post.

A fast color e ink would be possible but development would be very expensive for an unknown market. Would be a perfect anti eye strain second monitor though.
