Dell warranty, their extended warranty and QA for monitors is better than Samsung IMO.

Why can't we just get a 28/32" 4k flat panel with all these other specs? It's always an UW or massive screen size unfit for PC usage.

For now we get the sizes that they can fit in scraps that are left from TV manufacturing. Samsung's version is a bit better than Alienware's because it doesn't have old Nvidia Gsync module. Alienware can do max 144Hz at 10-bit. It drops to 8-bit at 175Hz. Samsung can do full 175Hz at 10-bit.

The good thing is. OLED monitors are coming. It won't be long before we see 27" 1440p and 32" 4k panels.

A lot of people are buying $2.000 QD-OLED TVs. How many gamers buy $700 gaming monitors? Until they produce enough TVs they won't be cutting whole panels in gaming monitors. When they can sell monitors for $400-ish we will get more QD-OLED goodness. For now we get the scraps from TV manufacturing.
