Hey not been in the monitor game for a while, but been getting advice from here over the decades through every upgrade phase!

What do you guys think about the

Want a better gaming / work monitor. Absolutely loved using the Philips BDM4065UC/00 UHD 60hz 40-Inch Monitor (16:9, 3840 x 2160) for the last 5 years, but want more out of my gaming and 2 x 1080gtx ti's so after 120+hz screen which is big enough to be work productive too. Would love to pre-order one off OCUK!

Look forward to the feedback.

VA v IPS
Wide v UW

wait for the reviews lol

I have a Dell 3818UW but looking to get the Sammy for that ultra wideness as I play mostly driving sims

Definitely a quandary, I prefer an IPS but anything less than 5120 x 1440 is not going to be like two monitors so the Samsung one wins on resolution in my opinion. Am disappointed neither have USB-C with power delivery for charging and DP Alt Mode and presumably don't have KVM switches either so you can't just hook up a laptop easily and make use of one KB and mouse. I'm hoping LG will see the opportunity to bring a 49" IPS with decent refresh rate to market with latest ports. It seems at the moment the large monitors are aimed either at productive OR gaming.

You could be right, it's a bad product page as it says it in two places that contradict each other.

Yeh the 95C has thunderbolt 3 with 94w power delivery and can run at 144hz. Their KVM is software based though, so no great. Probably better off buying a separate KVM switch.
