It is not ideal for productivity. OLED of any type can suffer burn in. There are mitigationd you can use but it is not ideal for static images for 8 hours or longer.
The aspect ratio is not ideal for productivity. I concur that a 34-in or even 38-in would be better.
For gaming it is amazing! The colors are phenomenal the depth is amazing. The refresh rate and clarity are great. It however is not ideal for console gaming due to the aspect ratio. You can look up details of this online. This is really ideal for PC gaming. For best frame rate and high quality settings you will want a 3080/4080 or higher GPU or equivalent AMD graphics card.
As far as reliability. As others have stated, quality control is very poor. Talk to the representative via chat when you purchase. They can add the Samsung extended warranty coverage for a "fair" price. And also probably get an additional $50 discount. If you ask if there are any other discounts. YMMV
On a previous deal I was able to get the extended warranty and the monitor for around 780 shipped.
If you know what you're getting and use it for the right purpose, PC gaming, it is a phenomenal monitor and you will not be disappointed. If you purchases for productivity I would recommend looking elsewhere there are much better alternatives. Cheers!
The only "productivity" users that say the curve is a hinderance seem to be photo/video editors. The coders usually are agnostic to curve and prefer more height in the resolution, which means leaning towards 4K monitors that don't need to be curved.
Thank you.
