Anyone have any experience with it? I just ordered a C32HG70 so I'm sure I will soon.
And yes, another Freesync display on a 1070 because if it was G-Sync it'd probably be $900-1100 instead of $600.

After decades of using UltraSharp IPS displays that look the same from nearly any angle, I've been a bit surprised at how quickly the contrast decreases when you look down on the Samsung VA monitor from an elevated view. Walk up to your desk and things look a bit gray. Sit down and the contrast between the blacks and whites is very impressive.The strange part about the brightness is that you don't lose any contrast (and it's a curved VA panel so no IPS glow and I didn't have any backlight bleed on my unit).

Out of the box, whites are very white, blacks are very black, but grays are a little pinkish.2) good luck trying to use it at night without lighting up most of the room, and 3) trying to color balance it is an exercise in masochism.

The brightness is insane. Easily 3-4x as bright as my trusty old IPS Dell Ultrasharp 2007WFP. The strange part about the brightness is that you don't lose any contrast (and it's a curved VA panel so no IPS glow and I didn't have any backlight bleed on my unit). It definitely takes some getting used to though.
