Samsung insanity! *

Samsung deal is dead. Was it a price mistake, guess I’ll find out soon enough
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.
John Gruber@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 I've never seen the nano version in person, but personal preference wise I just couldn't see spending extra money for a matte coating. On the other hand I'd totally pay extra for glossy coating displays.
Jon Maddox@paul it’s pretty awful if you value retina for text. It pretty much muddies it. I took mine back immediately.
Kraig@kraigschmidt @paul I mean, I thought my display was broken when I got it. I used a retina iMac for years before it.
The non-matte version felt immediatly back to normal.

Karl Baron@paul @gruber I was totally in on the glossy hate back in the plastic MacBook days, that kind of glossy display was terrible. But since Apple went to glass displays where the LCD was bonded directly on, I can use outdoors in daylight and the glare doesn't bother me, I don't understand any love for matte these days
