Seems like a good price for this monitor specifically. You may be able to get further discount being a first time Samsung app user not sure if loyalty discounts etc. will apply. Downside is only 250nits from what I can see.
Edit: apparently the monitor also suffers from terrible ghosting so I'd advise looking at reviews but kind of regretting posting this one and wouldn't recommend it, probably better monitors in this price bracket.
Ships 12/2/2024.
$426 on EPP Store + 5% First time App discount = $405.22
Says Pre-Order though ?
That's pretty good price for this VA panel

What's EPP store?
Employee Purchase Programme
Education Store or through your employer and others
I think Westpac customers can access it too
terrible terrible ghosting. better to go with any of the other 34" ultrawides that were posted last 2 weeks.
Oh these are the ones with bad ghosting? I assumed by the RRP they were newer so probably not a deal at all
Got mine for $399 from mwave, same model. Ghosting is pretty bad. Curve is way too aggressive for me. Got regrets
Damn that's a shame, I knew of the Samsung Odysseys being bad but not that bad.

This seems better but not sure if the LG and Acer recently posted are still better options
@lookingforadeal7: Not sure on that one, looks more productivity oriented rather than gaming oriented. Doesn't even seem to mention freesync or the like. I'd probably go with AOC at a minimum next time, I love my 165hz IPS 1080p AOC monitor, that I use at work lmao
I might try and flog this samsung on marketplace for 300-350 and get something new lol
