Notes
A curved 40-inch 5K2K VA with Thunderbolt 5 at 140 W, KVM, daisy chain, Ethernet and 144 Hz for EUR 1,209, well below the Dell. VA at 350 nits and 1000R is a text-clarity risk for all-day coding, and no review was found.
Brightness: Samsung's German datasheet says 350 nits typical, while a MediaMarkt NL and a Thai retailer listing say 280 nits (search summary). Size is 40 inch nominal (datasheet), 39.6 on displayspecifications.com, so PPI 139 computed on 40 inch. A US aggregator listing shows 4x USB-C and no Thunderbolt, which contradicts the datasheet. Weight 14 kg vs 9 kg across retailers.
