It is early days - just delivered Friday. I chose this model because it was capable of Chroma 4:4:4. I chose Samsung on the advice of a colleague.
Apparently on Samsung you need to throw it into UHD mode to get Chroma 4:4:4. Once that was toggled, the display of text is mostly artifact free. Images and video look amazing.
I have not calibrated it yet but hope to in the near future. It has already revealed some images in my library that I had been overlooking!

So, yes, its big and bold. But that is not really why I decided to try this route. I have presbyopia, which is to say, I'm over 45.
I bought this monitor so I can spend time in front of my computer programming and not have to wear my glasses. As far as I can tell, I should be able to work without glasses now!
Tell us about Chroma 4:4:4
I am not knowledgable as to these specifications and the benefits!
Jerome,The bandwidth of the HDMI connection is large, but finite. If one needs to move around 4K pixels (that is about 8 millions pixels), 60 times per second with 16 bits resolution per pixel, it will not do. Therefore some info is left out, colour subsampling is a trick to leave out some information to which the human eye is not too sensitive.

Hi, Asher,
You're entirely welcome.

Doug,
Before I fully digested your writing in post # 12 above, I was rapidly distracted by Jerome’s new link! (I admit That not only muses get my full attention and make me forget what I was about to do!)
This article may also be of interest regarding this matter:

Indeed it is a better description. Thank you.
