Is this lowest ever? Seems like a great price.

I don't need this. I don't need this. I don't need this.
I got this monitor on the deal a couple of weeks ago but without the $100 credit (at least I don't think I got a credit). In case it helps, my quick impressions are thus: the thing is absolutely huge. It's a gigantic TV on your desk. For the first couple of days I was actually sure I would return it. The KVM works fine but can be kind of complicated. My setup is one desktop and one laptop stand which is usually for my work laptop but I sometimes switch with my personal one, each of them with 2 physical inputs. I set it up with 3 configurations - all 4 screens at once (2 desktop, 2 laptop), 2 laptop only, and 2 desktop only. The 2 screens from one device thing is ok but it doesn't take up the full screen, so it's akin to I think 2 27" 16:9 monitors. I started to get frustrated pretty quickly with switching back and forth and changing resolutions (the standard windows display stuff is pretty bad at keeping things straight so I was constantly moving things around and fixing refresh rates and whatnot). Ultimately I decided to cut it down to just one physical input on each device and just use 4 apps on the screen at once (using powertools fancy zones). For me at least this is way better. If I want to put both my laptop and desktop at once I just use two screens.

The monitor generally looks great and the vsync/165hz/response time are amazing for gaming. Definitely the best gaming monitor I've ever had.

Edit: maybe obviously, I decided not to return it.
You said it three times so now you do .. but I think you need at least two

People say QD-OLED is harsher on your eyes than WOLED... where does mini-LED factor in?

I'm actually seeing cheaper, $1390 for everything listed in OP on education plan?

Funny enough, if I add a 2nd ark on top, that 2nd ark comes to $1250.

one note about installing the stand that comes with this monitor

you need to follow the instructions to the T.. the monitor has to be with the styrofoam before you put the stand on the back and screw it on.. or else the monitor well bend slightly and you cannot screw the mount on

Am I reading the specs correctly that it is 91 lbs with the stand and 46 lbs without it? The stand weighs 45 lbs? I'm not discounting the fact that you want a robust stand for such a monitor, but 45 lbs seems like a lot?

It is very tall when vertical and needs the weight down low to avoid tipping

Fair enough.

This price brings it in to consideration for me, but I'd prefer to secure the stand to my desk and have a lighter weight stand. I have a standing desk and 90 lbs eats in to the headroom I have for weight support.

Can't please everyone, though.

I had two of these vertical side by side and ended up returning. Curvature was too much and didn't work out for my purpose (non-gaming, work, stock, etc.)
I use stacked 49" so my next upgrade would be the stacked 59" ultra wide
