    Thanks for the warning. But I don't do any of that stuff. My usage is email, web browsing, very big spreadsheets, multiple document editing, etc. Real-estate is a big plus for me.

    At least 120Hz. Looking at other 1440P monitors though, it looks like they're all 60Hz, though the Samsung's response time is faster. Guess the technology on resolutions that high hasn't come far enough to refresh that many pixels any faster yet :/
