ADD CART TO SEE PRICE.
Normal price is $10,500 and original MSRP is like $17K.
Was looking at this in the context of home theater use, where you would be using it with movie / tv content that would normally be letterboxed on a 16:9 screen. It has a VA panel (500 nit) with local dimming, so it should do pretty well in moderate light - not full darkness. So say you had a small theater or family room with poor light control, this would be pretty neat. Only 60Hz so not the best for gaming.

As a major samsung fan, I can say I didn't even know this existed.
It may be a niche market, but as an example, there are many movies I watch on my widescreen Oled Samsung monitors because the aspect ratio matches the movie's aspect ratio.
This could be an interesting piece for a home theater, but know that 16x9 content will be cropped on the sides. Kind of the opposite of what happens when watching widescreen movies on a 16×9 TV.
Specs mention 500 NITS which would probably only perform well in dark rooms.
Edit: apologies OP looks like i'm echoing much of what you already said.

The irony of the 21:9 is that I dislike that ratio for phones and computer monitors preferring 16:9, but a giant TV would be OK.
