800r curve is perfect. Really hard to go back to anything less. And of course YMMV

I think the same resolution but on a 39" might be low but I haven't seen one in person.
"The title of the product is misleading. G-Sync is only available on the DisplayPort, which is capable of only 140 Hz because the $1,500 monitor is limited to the outdated DisplayPort 1.4. Therefore, you must choose between 240 Hz with no G-Sync (HDMI) or 144 Hz with G-Sync (DisplayPort) despite spending $1,500. This would have stopped me from buying this product but there was nothing indicating this on the packaging at best buy and I only found out after buying a display port 2.1 cable ($30) and finding that it was still limited to 144 Hz."

Pros:
It's OLED, and there is no going back to IPS/VA/TN from an image quality perspective, the colors and black levels are simply unmatched by any monitor I've ever owned. I'd dare say it's the best single image quality upgrade I've ever made.
It's faster than I'll ever care about, being non-competitive, I don't care about hyper-fast frames and tend to put my settings in the middle of performance/image quality, @ 1440p I want to see between 60FPS-120FPS.
For gaming (the vast majority of my use) the curve is fantastic, and very immersive.
Screen size is perfect for my distance to the monitor, coming from a 38" I knew I couldn't go smaller.
Aesthetically speaking, the monitor looks great on the desk, and isn't too "gamer"-y looking, despite the aggressive looking curve. The stock stand doesn't feel flimsy, or cheap.
Cons:
PPI is worse than my old Alienware due to 1440p vs 1600p. I do wish LG had gone with 1600p as the slight drop is noticeable with text. It's not a deal-breaker for me, but I also have a 32" 2nd monitor that I use for most of my browsing and reading.
The curve, while fantastic in game, is very noticeable when doing anything else. If I end up using the monitor for non-gaming purposes I find myself using the middle 70% of the screen, and staying away from the sides of the monitor to avoid the visible distortion.
There is a chance of burn-in due to the panel type. This generation of OLEDs does have better antiburn-in features than previous gens, and I have not seen any image retention, but it is at least possible. I do take a few extra steps to further minimize the risk. I keep all of my static desktop icons on my 2nd monitor, autohide my taskbar, and use an animated wallpaper on the OLED.
