Not being a gamer I just read this review as a passing interest. What struck me was why could you calibrate it so much better than Samsung when they have gone to the trouble of doing so?

Right I was just wondering now I know.As the poster above said, the calibration levels have targets such as the delta error of 3. Samsung have calibrated the monitor to within those levels. For users that is all they need and no further calibration is necessary.
I did my own calibration as that is my normal routine.
I’ve been searching for a monitor for ages, I want one with HDMI 2.1 for future console support, proper HDR, 120 HZ. There’s absolutely nothing around and what I’ve seen that is close cost a fortune. I’ve looked at the 48 inch LG oled but I fear that’s too big
Great to see more gaming stuff on the site and I read this review with interest as I'm eyeing up new monitors after new PC build.
Not sure I could justify over £600 on one though. Also 240hz is overkill for my uses.
I'd be interested to see how this compares to the AOC G1 series or Dell gaming monitors.
Yeah I'd looked at ultrawides, as they do interest me, but my desk is only a metre wide. I reckon I could get a regular 32 inch screen on there but that probably the upper limit.I was in the same boat and eventually settled on the MSI MAG341CQ. Whilst it's "only" 100Hz, it's 34" ultrawide and 3440 x 1440, so my PC isn't going to be able to push that to more than 100 FPS anyway. Plus it's quite a lot cheaper that some of the more esoteric alternatives (I got mine for ~£420).
I was a sceptic, but 34" of ultrawide and a decent VA panel makes a very acceptable stop-gap until someone releases a compelling HDMI 2.1 / HDR capable monitor. Ultrawide does make games more immersive and whilst the panel doesn't do HDR, it has good black levels and is very responsive.
Cheers for the review. I was wondering any chance of doing the alien pursuit test?
Are you talking about the ghosting test?
If so, then yes I did do that and it was one of the best I've seen.
Ah great, were you able to take any photo's during the test for reference?
I use 3 of them for sim racing, the g-sync flicker as now been fixed with a new firmware update
Still got my wires to sort out
