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 I can‘t understand that Apple doesn‘t offer KVM at this price. Even if I was only using Apple products, the fact alone that if you have your personal desktop connected and then for home office work want to connect the work machine and you constantly need to plug the cable out is bad.
I‘m mostly happy with the Dell 6K which offers proper things. Always loving when people call it ugly. Cause its in my office and I look at the screen, not the case normally ;-)
