Does anyone have any experience of the Samsung 32" CHG70 gaming monitor?

I've been dreaming of a decent monitor to swap to following an imminent GPU upgrade (thinking Vega 56 or 64) and I came across a mention of this monitor.

On paper it looks to tick an awful lot of my boxes - 1440p, 32" panel, 144Hz, FreeSync, HDR, curved - and I wondered how this stacked up with any other alternatives with similar specs at a similar price point? (around £550 by the looks of things!)

Anyone have one or has used one and can offer an opinion? (or alternatively suggest any other models with the same range of specs?)

Thanks for any advice....

i got one in the mail that should arrive in no less than 3 days from now. Have been looking at several 32 inch 1440p 144hz monitors as of late but since they were all price so similarly here in Denmark i went for the samsung after seeing a few ufo tests and reading a ton of reviews. It does seem like the monitor with the most features out of all of the 32"/1440P/144hz monitors out there.

Thanks for the reply - I'd be really interested in hearing your opinions once it's landed and you've had an opportunity to give it a whirl!

Can I ask what was your deciding factor between this and the others? Presumably one of the alternatives you were looking at was as the Asus ROG Strix XG32VQ as it's in a similar price bracket with similar specs?? (although no HDR from what I can tell?)

I did look very shortly at the XG32VQ, however the ufo tests that i found showed slightly slower pixel response when it came to darker transitions coupled with less features for the same price here in Denmark. Also Asus is not a brand im very happy with due to past experiences but that is just a personal thing and shouldnt be used as guidance for a purchase. I think the closes contenders for me has been the viewsonic followed by the BenQ(if your not using an nvidia card as the benq has more black smearing over DP with nvidia for whatever weird reason according to a sweclockers review).
