Productivity and workflow wise this monitor obviously excels. With the ability to plug in two different sources and split the screen between the two is an awesome feature as well.
But Buyer beware, the QC for this monitor is horrendous - just look up G9 issues. I was plagued with terrible scan lines at 240hz on the top corners of the screen. This is a known issue as well as HDR incompatibility, black screen, flickering etc. Samsung actually sent out a technician to replace the panel completely and he told me that he does this on a regular basis. Still didn't fix the scan lines. Ended up selling and hoping for something better down the line.

Obnoxious stand or overpriced 3rd party mount. 4 tiny easily stripped screws holding it up. 240Hz at this resolution is way too much even for my overclocked 3090TI Hybrid/13700K on 98% of games you throw at it. Don't get me started on Samsung's atrocious policies, tech support, and insane ways to void your entire warranty (goes back to the screw thing). Not to mention the shopping list of reasons others have already mentioned.
If you're going to spend more than $500, the MSI Artymis 34" is a strong recommendation from me or the Corsair Xeneon Flex if you want to, well, flex your wallet. But definitely avoid this. I wouldn't buy another even for $300.
