9.5

TechAeris

Samsung design continues to be high quality and robust
The ARK Dial is super helpful to easily change and adjust monitor settings
Samsung's 4K panel is pure excellence here
The added software makes this more than a monitor
Ability to access Xbox Cloud Gaming app, Stadia App, and other gaming apps with the touch of a button
Best speakers on any monitor period
Gaming performance is outstanding with 165mHz/1ms rate/response
4K HDR Contrast and colors just outstanding
Pricey but the value is all here and I mean ALL here

Big big big, need two people at minimum to assemble and put in place
It is pricey and not for the average user, but serious money gets you serious hardware
Cockpit mode is nice but I found little use for it myself and preferred landscape mode
