Also this being a Samsung means no DolbyVision, and something close to 100% of the games I have played with HDR are in DolbyVision.

The inputs are on a stand alone box, which is perfectly fine for me, but the damn thing would just act like I was no longer using it, go to sleep, and then refuse to find the attached computer until I rebooted the TV.
HDR was definitely broken, as normal colors were extremely muted, even in HDR enabled movies for the monitors local apps.
The plastic back panel pops off ever time a butterfly flaps it's wings.
The best part about the display was the built in RDP client, but that was completely destroyed by the fact that it wasn't available in multi view mode.
There are things you can work around like using Digital to Analog ARC converters to share the audio with multiple devices, but you really shouldn't have to.
Also, Samsung claims it is the app providers making it incompatible with the multi view, but the reality is those app providers would have to disable HDCP to make it compatible and then the media houses would pull their content.
If you're going to use this as a single monitor with a single device connection, you might actually enjoy it quite a bit, but anything else and it is completely useless.
