The fact that it is an OLED is a double-edged sword. First of all, OLEDs are known to have shorter lifespan than LCDs and all the other alternatives. This monitor is pretty much like all other OLEDs in a sense that TRUE BLACK will essentially be the main feature. The white light is significantly dimmer than my LCD monitors, even my LCD tablets shine brighter.
This monitor does an amazing job rendering 360 hz refresh rate as an OLED at 1440p. Everything is nice and clear, it performs as they advertised. But the coil of the monitor can sometimes be tediously annoying when the room/place is very quiet. I would recommend that you turn on a fan, aircon, run a speaker or wear a noise-cancelling headphones to keep the coil sound from irritating you literally until you turn off the monitor itself.
Do I like it, yes and no. But I would rather keep it than return it. Why? Because it is significantly better than my old BenQ 240 hz 1080p gaming monitor. I seriously cannot go back to that res and overall specs. This 360 hz 1440p OLED has been an amazing gaming monitor that I can confidently rely on for the next maybe 3-5 years, hopefully maybe longer.
Btw, the monitor will be a good buddy with display ports but for some reason it hates HDMI. I got a Steam Deck and I used the Display port with my Steam Deck Dock and it works just fine but only at 120 hz max. While with my BenQ 240 hz 1080p, it can run up to the full 240 hz. So yeah kinda weird that my 1080p monitor can utilize its full capability with the Steam Deck while this supposedly superior tech released in 2024 cannot run Steam Deck at full 360 hz capability (limited to max of 120 hz only). So if you have a Steam Deck and you intend to use the Steam Dock, you might wanna explore better other options. Back to the HDMI issue, when I used the HDMI, IT DOES NOT WORK for the Steam Deck. (HDMI cable is perfectly normal/active because I used it to the BenQ monitor and it does work.
TLDR; This monitor does as advertised/as described as a gaming OLED monitor. As an OLED monitor, the brightness will be terrible like all other OLED monitors, but you get a true black. The coil sound/noise within the monitor can be a pain in the ass sometimes when the room/place is very quiet. Basically, for this monitor, the display port will work perfectly just fine; however, with the HDMI cable, you may run into some issues.

Great screen, huge, good functionality
I love this screen, it is nice and long but not too curved. I have it hooked up with an HDMI from my MacBook Pro. I wish the colours were slightly more vivid which is why I removed a star. They are good, but they are not as clear as my Macbook screen by a landslide.It is VERY heavy and made my IKEA table actually bow down in the middle of it. I needed to add extra support to my table because of this. I will hopefully be getting an arm for the screen, so that it can be mounted right to the table. That said, when purchasing this definitely keep in mind how HEAVY it is. The table that bowed is the one in the picture, and this thing is a sturdy table. I was really surprised that after a week on the table top it actually made my TABLE curved because it was so heavy.The response rate is amazing, and I am really happy with it for all things gaming, streaming, and for using it when I am editing videos and doing work.I give it a 4 out of 5 stars. I would buy it again. I think it was an awesome purchase and it makes my space feel special!

Algunas caracteristicas destacables:
PROS
Tiempo de respuesta, escenas realmente oscuras, el tamaño es genial para trabajar, es curva y aun asi tiene un angulo de visión perfecto, cero cloudy (manchas blancas en escenas oscuras), sin fugas de luz, comandos de voz, funciona como TV, perfecta para juegos por su rapidez de respuesta en ms y hz.
CONS
Marco algo grueso (aprox 1 cm), precio, no tiene tanto brillo como una VA o IPS, reflejos (muy poco, no son molestos pero existen), interfaz (no es la mas rapida), entradas mini (ya no podré usar mi viejo cable HDMI 😔).
En resumen, vale mucho la pena; y si eres exigente con las escenas oscuras, este es tu monitor. La parte trasera hace ver a este monitor único. Para trabajos y tareas es perfecto por el tamaño. Para juegos es de lo mejor que hay. LLevo un poco mas de un mes con el monitor y no me arrepiento.
PD si tienes una TV samsung esta funcionará con el mismo control del monitor, en mi caso como los tengo juntos se encienden al mismo tiempo y eso es un poco molesto.
