At a guess I'd say about £2000-2200...take it with a pinch of salt. $2000 is £1628

Samsung have there own version, not OLED but still decent, a cheaper alternative

It's a shame the OLED 5k2k panel isn't 40" IMO as I feel 45" is a bit too large. I wonder what the pricing will be like?
Having said that I think on balance I'd rather have a 27/32" OLED panel.
40" would also increase pixel density further which would help with text rendering.
I'm still not convinced that even the new RGWB subpixel layout and higher density will fully solve OLED's issues with text rendering.
As my use is 90% productivity rather than gaming, the Odyssey G7 40" is looking very attractive right now. Hadn't even heard of it until I saw @Baddass's video the other day, now I want more info.
+1
Yeah, I could be tempted by a40” 5k2k ultrawide display at the right price. However I suspect it’ll cost more than the 27”/32” 4K OLED monitors. I think I’d favour them if prices are similar.
Well Dell already have one, the U4025QW, but it's not really tailored to gaming with only 120Hz refresh and the response times aren't great. That's £1600.
If the Samsung can offer good gaming performance with 160Hz+ refresh and good pixel response (not fussed about HDR tbh) then I'd fork out a similar amount for that as I'd be staring at it for 10+ hours per day.
That’s true. It’s good to see ultrawide monitors starting to move towards 2160p capable panels as the fact most are still 1440p puts me off buying another to replace my old Samsung 34” (3440x1440) VA display.
Personally I wouldn’t buy a new monitor unless it was capable of displaying 4k content natively.

Nice to see some manufactures offering non OLED screen, which are good for working from home etc (no burn in issue) and slightly cheaper.....you would think.

Is there a monitor similar to the Dell U40 one, but with a higher refresh rate? I've got a 165hz monitor and don't really want to go any lower (or higher).
And how do 5k2k monitors fare on mid ranged graphics cards? I have a 4070 Ti Super.

Not currently. Your 4070 ti will need a huge amount of help with DLSS and dropping settings. To give you some idea 4k is about 8.3 million pixels. 5k2k is 11.06 million.
Oh pants, is it a case of needing a 5090 to drive it properly? Or wait for 6series
?

Tbh, even a 4090 or 5090 is going to have trouble driving a lot of stuff at 5K2K native resolution.
DLSS will be your best friend at this res. Interestingly, with DLSS Quality at 5K2K, the native rendering resolution would be very close to 3440x1440.
