The best, but it still needs work.
There is nothing else like it, period. If you want an experience beyond anything else available, with a similarly large price, this is the monitor for you. The good: * He has a super fast refresh rate and good darks. * At its size the curve helps a lot. It feels very immersive * The sound is 10/10, you wont need speakers. * Its not OLED, so no burn in or dimming issues. * Its good for productivity as well as gaming. The bad: ** Multiview is USELESS. Pretend it doesnt have it. I know version 2.0 will fix this and allow multiple inputs, or at least split screen with streaming apps. Just use windows full screen and resize apps as needed. ** The vertical orientation is a gimmick and unusable. It will hurt your neck and multiview is useless. ** The remote with the roller wheel is useless because multiview is useless. If it controlled volume it would be nice. * I wish it was IPS with RGB pixels for the best text possible, but its passable. * You cannot use local dimming in windows, it will hide your mouse cursor when its going over dark parts of the screen. Would I buy again? Yes, but that is only because what I really want doesn't exist. (40"-45" IPS 120hz+)

Amazing 4k monitor/tv
If you are looking for a great gaming monitor and tv in one, this is it. High refresh rate, 4k res, fast reponse time. Its the first time ive had no buyers regret. The color is pretty amazing too. Minor issues is that its hdmi only and it has a flicker that happens until you switch it from game mode to auto then back. Once you do that the flicker is gone.
