Samsung insanity! *

Samsung deal is dead. Was it a price mistake, guess I’ll find out soon enough
Yep I do hate “smart” monitors.
I really underestimated how terrible the OSD for a monitor could be, and I've used some terrible monitors. Samsung you've really outdone yourself!

My review of the S9, ignoring the OSD. Noticeably sharper than a 4k 27", good color, can get really bright, actual thunderbolt connectivity with fast USB downstream ports. Wake from sleep is a bit slow, but not terrible. Camera/speakers are usable, but I wouldn't use the speakers other than for emergencies.

Main display issue is the very aggressive matte coating on this display. I guess good if you have a bad office but I find it distracting and seems to really cut down on the viewing angle.

@paul I think the Studio Display is worth its exorbitant price for the nanotexture matte option alone. I’ve never seen anything else like it.
@gruber @paul also has good speakers and consistent color
