Excellent screen for PC monitor and TV use. I can only recommend it. The only small drawback with OLED screens is that the pixels have to be cleaned regularly, about 6 minutes every 4 hours.

Excellent screen for PC monitor and TV use. I can only recommend it. The only small drawback with OLED screens is that the pixels have to be cleaned regularly, about 6 minutes every 4 hours.
It's impossible to go back to a normal screen once you've had a taste of 4K oled.
Response time is non-existent, which is quite exceptional for a television, so it can be used as a PC monitor.
What's more, the screen goes up to 120 Hz, in G-sync. It's royal.
The price is still quite high, but much lower than for competing PC oled screens with a smaller diagonal.
However, you'll need to stand back a little to avoid eyestrain.
Screen used for 800 hours so far, in HDR, on a PC, mixed use (office, web, films, games): no burn-in of the panel so far.
what more can I say? it's the ideal screen for gaming, there's no ignoble black smearing like with LED screens in particular, VA responsiveness is exemplary and the infinite contrast of the oled makes all the content more vivid and believable I'd just have to criticise this screen for reducing the brightness of certain games when the adjust logo brightness parameter is activated I find that rather odd given that it's supposed to act on still images on the screen like a HUD in a game and not on the whole image apart from that the screen is perfect
good product, which had to be adjusted (the default image is at maximum brightness, which is really not necessary on an oled which is best viewed in the dark...the factory setting will clearly not suit most people)
The panel is quite small, I needed it because the TV fits in a small alcove. If you have more space, a bigger screen is probably recommended.
not tested in game (PC / console)
I received my order the day after I placed it, even though I live in the country, so it was perfect!
The TV is perfect, nothing to say!
No need for dual screens as there is enough room on the TV to put all the windows you need. The price is very reasonable for 4k Oled given the price of equivalent PC screens.
The HDMI 2.1 works well, all my games run well at 120Hz.
The picture quality is perfect, nothing to complain about.
In short, I strongly recommend it!
The only advice is to bring a long HDMI cable if your tower is not on the left of your screen because the one provided with your graphics card might be a bit short.
