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.
