New product are always expensive, mainly because the introductory costs are high and a company has zero incentive to look for cheaper ways to do something unless their sales are threatened from a competitor. So it will be a while before the price of this classification comes down. That said, I've had a 32" 1440p for 8 months and I just prefer to maintain the same resolution density of 90 ppi, I'm not into these newer high res for smaller size (4K at 27"  ). I think at some point I may graduate to a wider or higher resolution, but it had better be physically larger than 32" or I don't care. I will not go down from this point on. So I'll watch this sucker and other larger 4K HDTV's for future upgrades...

Cant believe that this costs $1500 when I can buy a Samsung 40" 4K HDR 120Hz display for less than $400.
mmmmm you might want to try using a tv with fake refresh rates before saying they are on par with a full fledged high end PC display.
Rumor or evidence to share? I assumed there was a hidden drawback to a sub400 4k 120hz hdr display.
well to start, TV display controllers are very limited and that is mainly because they are for viewing pre-rendered content (obviously, they are TV's) That is why so many people complain input latency when gaming on a TV. The display controller simply isnt up to the task. There are no, and I mean absolutely 100% no 4k TV's that support 120hz refresh rates. In fact almost all TV's, 4k/1080p or otherwise, that advertise 120hz+ refresh rates really only support 60hz. It is simply a marketing gimmick that TV manufacturer's use buzzwords like "Clear motion" to advertise 120hz+ refresh rates when really it is just an algorithm that makes standard 24p/25p content looks sped up and frankly it gives me a headache. There are certain 3d tv's that can be overclocked to 100hz+ by making customer resolutions however. HDR is a gimmick, this is just TV manufacturers catching up with higher color gamut and instead of calling it 8bit they call it HDR.

LG redefines the “ultra” in ultra-wide with its 38" 38UC99. It’s a curved IPS panel with 3840x1600 pixels, FreeSync, and 75Hz operation. We’re checking out this sleek white behemoth today. Freesync...

It's a shame it's curved. I'd like to run 5 of them in portrait mode.

Well brad you actually have a couple things wrong here. HDR is not a gimmick. It's really the adoption of 10bit support. Traditional HD tvs only supported 8bit or less. 10bit does allow for a wider amount of colors and depth to be displayed. So yes a 10bit TV vs an 8bit TV should be able to display a wider amount of colors. But this is also dependent upon type of panel, lighting and various other factors. And yes TV,s do support 120hz or greater. The real problem is that content itself does not support greater then 60hz. So what they do is use an algorithm to scale the content. So 60hz content playing on a 120hz screen has frames doubled by the tv in order to display at that refresh rate. The problem is that it takes awhile to do this. So when they start factoring in games you end up with delays with what you see on the screen. This is why you end up with input lag. Thanks for reading.

It would take up way too much desk space. I think 38 is overdoing it a bit.
