Did some research on this monitor, watch YouTube review here.

Some negatives I saw in the youtube comments:
-The fact that its matte and not glossy should be considered a crime.
-Something worth mentioning. This monitor is not full DP 2.1. It's UHBR13.5 instead of UHBR20. Meaning it doesn't have the bandwidth to run this monitor natively and will still be using DSC. It's a shame considering how expensive this thing is. But also like to mention. DSC vs native is very little loss in image quality, you really have to sit there and nit-pick everything. In the end, it's a beauty. I just wish LG didn't cheap out on us with the DP and it was glossy.
-There are different certifications of dp 2.1. There are Dp 2.1 UHBR 10(40gbps), Dp 2.1 UHBR 13.5(54gbps), and Dp 2.1 UHBR 20(80 gbps). LG confirmed with TFT central that it's using Dp 2.1 UHBR 13.5. To run this monitor without any compression at 5120x2160 @ 165hz, you need 60.18 Gbps. So ultimately, UHBR 13.5 doesn't have enough bandwidth to run this at native so it has to use DSC. I'm just giving you guys facts so you can make the right knowledgeable purchase. Up to you guys how you want to take the information.
-You should be getting full DP 2.1 bandwidth at this price point. Nevermind that, if you drop that kind of money on a monitor, you want it to be substantially "future proofed." Hard pass. I'll wait for the smaller models with full UHBR 20 support.

It is fantastic. Those who complain about 800R being too much curve must not have actually used one. At least not for gaming and movies, which is what this is made for. If you need to run stock quotes and Excel spreadsheets, just get a couple of Dell 27 inch monitors side by side and become productive.
Someone said this matte screen is a crime. lolwut? Making this into a glossy reflective surface would've been a crime. This OLED panel is so inky dark black, why would you want to ruin that with a shiney reflective layer?
I run a black #00000 wallpaper background, turn off all the lights at night, and I seen nothing on the screem except complete black darkness and some desktop icons. It's almost surreal.
So far I have 3,000 hours on it and no hint of burn-in or anything else.

Still think I am going to pull the trigger at this price. Just ordered a new beastly gaming desktop to beat the uncertainty of tariffs in the future and need to upgrade from a 16:9 1440p monitor.
