Lots of people complain about the matte coating but it is honestly not as drastic as a difference as people make it out to be. Reviewers will complain about visuals being reduced when compared to glossy but unless you are nose-touching the monitor you will not notice a difference.
That being said at 1440p text fringing is and always will be an issue with these panels. Can't be avoided and some people are more sensitive to it than others. Just like VRR flicker which isn't the best on this panel but can be avoided by stabilizing your framerate output.
Personally, I feel this is the highest quality 360hz 1440p OLED panel out there and well worth the price. Samsung gets a bad rep due to their utilization of the matte coating but IMO you cannot go wrong here unless you're not a competitive gamer. 360-480hz at 1440p is only going to benefit those who enjoy competitive scenes a la FPS and MOBA titles. For most people it's better to shoot for a 4k/144hz+ or 1440p/240hz.
I noticed the text fringing for 1 day. Then I did cleartype and never noticed it again. (YMMV.)
I use it for productivity, school, and rocket league probably in that order.
Gaming is super smooth. But it just sucks because I want to now drive everything at 360fps and I can't.
The other con is that I keep wondering if I should have gone with a 480hz monitor instead.

If you can't achieve 360fps then you definitely do not need 480hz lol ... I have RTX4090 and maybe a couple of games hit above 300fps ... Any sky high refresh rate these days is a marketing gimmick "bigger the better" ... 80-90% people are Ok with just 240hz
