4k, 1ms access time, curved, 165hz refresh. It ticks a lot of the boxes. What type of panel is it?

Va panel. Some people are complaining about most recent firmware washing out colors (and you can't change or downgrade firmware). Also you can only display a single HDMI input at a time (other "inputs" are just apps on the monitor) so no using multiple PCs or a PC and console at the same time for example)

I think I'd buy if it gets down to $1200. Have a sit/stand desk and this monitor weighs almost 100lbs. That's a lot of weight to lift.

So how exactly does 4k hdr @165hz work with no display port? HDMI 2.1 does not have the bandwidth to support that right?

Also this being a Samsung means no DolbyVision, and something close to 100% of the games I have played with HDR are in DolbyVision.

I tried this out after it dropped to $1799 for a sale and this was as bad as the M8 I tried before it.

The inputs are on a stand alone box, which is perfectly fine for me, but the damn thing would just act like I was no longer using it, go to sleep, and then refuse to find the attached computer until I rebooted the TV.

HDR was definitely broken, as normal colors were extremely muted, even in HDR enabled movies for the monitors local apps.

The plastic back panel pops off ever time a butterfly flaps it's wings.

The best part about the display was the built in RDP client, but that was completely destroyed by the fact that it wasn't available in multi view mode.

There are things you can work around like using Digital to Analog ARC converters to share the audio with multiple devices, but you really shouldn't have to.

Also, Samsung claims it is the app providers making it incompatible with the multi view, but the reality is those app providers would have to disable HDCP to make it compatible and then the media houses would pull their content.

If you're going to use this as a single monitor with a single device connection, you might actually enjoy it quite a bit, but anything else and it is completely useless.

It might work for that too, but that's a scenario my marriage would not allow me to test. 😁

Appears they only had 19 or so in stock, and 'may' have been a new seller on Amazon. Now $1999. Anyone here grab this ?
