Replacement monitor is arriving soon but the plan is to test both my current and the new one before picking which to keep. I dodged the UPS return pickup today so they’d come back on Monday so I can evaluate both monitors over the weekend. Will post pics of two of the absurd monitors together if I can swing that.

Hoping the replacement has no dead pixels but will have to see. I know there’s been QC issues with the Odyssey G9 series but Samsung really should be better than that.
