I'm in the same boat as I wanted more desktop space than my CX 48" scaled to 125% can give and it got a bit unwieldy with multiple virtual desktops and is not well suited for multimonitor setups. I find that for me 100% scaled 2x 1440p is enough space but would prefer better text sharpeness for...

As long as you ignore that it has absolutely garbage tier response times...

I have a CX 48" and it's definitely there for 100% scaling on Windows. MacOS text rendering is different and has no real problems in this regard. On Windows using DPI scaling and adjusting RGB contrast with Better Cleartype Tuner does a good job for mitigating it.

Which firmware version did they send you?

How do you feel about the size difference and the effect on PPI for desktop use? Did you use different scaling levels on them? What about text quality?

Most BIOS will pick integrated GPU outputs -> discrete GPU HDMI -> discrete GPU DisplayPort as the input order to use but this might be selectable on some boards. So if you have other displays connected it might try to display it on one of those.

Never had that issue with my CX 48". BIOS showed up just fine even if its resolution was wonky. If you mean it takes longer to start up and gets past the BIOS screen then just keep hitting whatever key gets you to BIOS (F2 or Del usually) and it should work. I'm using a Gigabyte X570 mITX board...

Awful looking stand design, no sRGB mode and otherwise kind of middle of the pack performance. This will sell only because the 4K 120+ Hz market is pretty garbage. It is nice to see something besides the awful 8-16 zone edge lit tho. Even though 96 zones is crap, it's at least less crap.

Yeah looking at the specs on Samsung's website they seem largely the same including HDMI 2.1. With only a $200 price difference maybe this is just a way for them to use panels or controllers that could not handle 240 Hz? If the G7 is basically the same thing but without the scanline issues then...

Agree it's overpriced and probably has something like 16 dimming zones like the GP950. This will be probably something like 1500 euros here in Finland and that's absurd. At about 1000 I'd consider it as it otherwise ticks a lot of my boxes. We just can't get a break with these 32" 4K high...

So what's the difference between G8 and Neo G7? 240 vs 165 Hz and G7 has lower peak brightness?

Too little too late. Had this come out around the same time as the CX/C1 it would have been nice but now, why would you buy this over the 42" C2?

Yeah I really don't get why they went for 240 Hz on these and then don't support something in between like 144 Hz, 165 Hz etc. that might be free of these issues.

A 40" 5120x2160 screen is effectively an ultrawide version of a 32" 4K 16:9 and you don't gain a huge amount of extra desktop space when you want to apply some DPI scaling to make text and UI easier to read. With a 32" 4K 16:9 plus a side monitor you are likely to have more usable desktop space...

In my experience there is no issue running MacOS at odd scaling settings as long as you have 4K+ resolution. For anything less unless it's a laptop display there's just no point to using scaling in the first case. To explain the issue to others, MacOS scaling works like this. For these numbers...
