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 The current iPad Pros also offer nanotexture matte… is it of comparable quality in your experience?
Samuel@gretyl @gruber The iPad nanotexture is a very different story. It’s made to cope with greasy fingers and compromises had to be done to get there, it has less deep blacks and looks more like a really good matte screen protector. I would only get it if I frequently had to use the device in environments with sharp lights.
Paul McGrane@onkologen @gretyl @gruber It is interesting Apple sort of conflates the two. There's hardly any way to use an iPad except by pawing at it. Meanwhile you essentially void your warranty if your hand gets near the nanotexture Studio Display!
