This one has the smart features.
Good luck with that one. The lowest an ultrawide OLED like these has ever gotten is ~$600 for a refurbished one, and that was years after they were released.

This monitor is always on "sale".. paying. When it drops below 700 again I may bite
I own this monitor, and there are things I really like about it and some things that are very annoying. First of all, there is no video over USB-C.. Why samsung? Secondly it has been very difficult to find a HDMI 2.1 cable that plays nice with this monitor. I don't know why this is. Either the cable manufacturers are lying on amazon about their specs (which I def wouldn't put past them) or this monitor is VERY picky about its HDMI cable spec. Thirdly samsung has the stupidest "feature" where every time the monitor comes on from sleep mode, TWO stupid menus come up to obscure the bottom of the screen making you wait about 10 seconds before you can see your task bar. This cannot be disabled.
My eyes must not be good enough to see the difference between 240 Hz and 120 Hz because they seem interchangeable to me.
That being said for my use case this monitor has been very nice. I like the height adjustability and i like the pixel density. But for most people I would steer them toward the 21:9 aspect ratio monitors over this 32:9. Better game support, more useable for media consumption, etc.
Don't look at the MSI option. The smart features are useless.
