It's a VA panel, but a good VA panel.
The response time is 4ms. Personally, I couldn't tell you that three-thousandths of a second make much difference for most gamers, but whatever.
HDR is trash on this monitor. Don't bother. SDR is excellent and very bright though.
It is not GSYNC compatible. If you're getting high enough FPS, it's no big deal anyway. Speaking of which, make sure you have a good enough GPU to handle high frame rates at this resolution. I'm on a 3090Ti FE and getting about 120-150 in COD with fairly high settings. GeForce experience settings optimizer is your friend if you're not experienced with this resolution.
It makes some plasticky popping sounds when the screen turns on and off. Samsung says this is normal because of the expansion and temperature change on such a massive screen.
If you do PBP (where you use two different inputs and split the screen) you cannot use any gaming settings, like low input lag, and you are limited to 100Hz. Literally just found that out today.
As someone mentioned above, some older games don't work well with this resolution. Some will say they support it, but menus are messed up. Almost all games from the last 5 years or so seem to work.
That's all I have right now. I'll update if I think of anything else that might be helpful.

but it was broken when i recieved it and they just refunded me instead of replacing it. Now im going to hold out for the new version 4k or OLED.
