I loved this monitor but returned it since it was too flat. I ended up with Neo G9 since curve was right but would rather have LG for USB-C connectivity + increased text clarity. If you are young with good eyesight could be right for you.
I had it for 2 weeks and then returned it to get the G9; cheaper at 700$ on BF deal vs what I got at $999 from BB. I would say colors are accurate; but contrast is bad; it's flatter than the Samsungs; meaning more head turns to cover the screen area. What I loved was the USB-C connectivity, KVM switch and speaker integration. The Samsung wins on overall screen utilization, color / contrast. If you are using it for office work; anything at 100Hz refresh is good enough. The Samsung to get 240Hz needs powerful cards vs with USB-C the Macs can easily drive a 100Hz on the LG.

The geo 9 has a 1000R curve which is why I got it. That is supposedly the curve that puts the whole screen within the center vision and near peripheral vision of the viewer when viewed from a distance of about 2 ft from the screen. Any more or less curve is more likely to require you to move your head to see the edges of the screen The 1000R curve seems to be the sweet spot

On sale for the same price they charged me for an 85" tv. Margins on these monitors must be crazy
