If it is, for office they gave it an 8.7/10 saying...
"The Samsung Neo G8 is excellent for office use. The 4k resolution results in sharp text, and the 32-inch screen is big enough to open multiple windows at once. It also has remarkable reflection handling, and it gets bright enough to fight glare in most rooms, so visibility isn't a problem. It has impressive ergonomics if you want to adjust the screen to your liking, but it has narrow viewing angles and a limited swivel range, so it isn't the best for sharing your screen with someone else."
For text clarity, they gave it a 9/10 (again, if it's the same model)...
"The text clarity is fantastic. The high 4k resolution makes the text look sharp, and Windows ClearType (top photo) helps improve the text clarity even more. Although it shares the same 32-inch size and 4k resolution as the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75, it has a different screen coating that introduces haziness, which makes text look a bit less sharp on the Neo G8. That said, it's only noticeable if you place both monitors side by side and you really look for it."
I've also been looking at inexpensive 32" 4k, and the Dell S3225QS just dropped to 305. But it's not in the same league as the Samsungs - from what I've read it has typical VA drawbacks: ghosting, viewing angle (because it's flat), whereas the Samsungs are curved and handle action better.

The only real downside for me has been the scanline issues that many people have been experiencing. It's especially noticeable with yellow and orange colors. Updating the monitor's firmware makes the scanlines less noticeable, but they are still there.
Overall, this is a solid monitor, but not without its flaws. For $500, it's a decent deal, but since this monitor had deals for about the same price a couple of years ago and has been out for a few years now, a great deal would be around $400-$450.
