don't need another monitor, but ordered one anyway. The $100 gift card for in store pick up makes this a steal.

BTW, anyone use this for office works?

That's what sealed the deal for me until I read the threads title again, and realized that you need to be a EPP/EDU member. Then I got sad lol

My understanding is the QLED does not perform great for productivity, but frankly there are so many different variations I may be wrong. Would love someone that knows more to weigh in.
Given that you can have multiple working desktops on one screen, I would say that this is actually very productive monitor

32:9 monitors like this are fantastic for productivity work. I ended up ordering the Samsung CRG9 (3 or so generations old) for $688 (-12% cashback) through a SlickDeal in 2022. It's been primarily for work (documents, spreadsheets, research, etc.), but it also allows me to have an immersive gaming environment in my downtime. Text has been very clear. I needed to replace multiple monitors and the CRG9 was better suited for that than a normal 21:9 ultrawide would have been. My particular use case involved sharing via MS Teams and making use of PBP on my work machine to avoid having to install FancyZones or Samsung's Easy Settings Box. On my personal machine, I can easily use such software and I don't do screensharing, anyway.

This monitor has do Picture-by-Picture (PBP). On my CRG9 (and most likely on this monitor) you can split the screen into two equal 16:9 portions or one 21:9 and one 11:9.

Most machines can run this for productivity use, but modern gaming performance is another story. Keep in mind that this is is 7.4M pixels vs 8.3M pixels for a 16:9 4K monitor, so you can use 4K benchmarks and extrapolate performance from them by adding roughly 10% to the FPS figures.

I used the Samsung CRG9 (a similar QLED monitor, but with 120Hz and a lower curve) for work, and I simply use two of the DisplayPort inputs to split the screen in hardware (rather than software). You could also split it in hardware using multiple video inputs from the same computer. You can still manually extend windows across both monitors if you like, but this allows snapping to halves, quarters, and eights of the monitors while preventing aspect ratio issues from sharing screens via MS Teams. Obviously, this wouldn't work if you have only one display output on your machine and you don't have a docking station/port replicator/adapter of some sort. I use my CRG9 mostly for Excel, Word, etc., and it's been outstanding for that purpose.

EDIT: Formatting.

No, they ship to a Best Buy location for pickup too - just takes a few additional days
