I nearly asked two dumb-as-fuck questions as well.
Anyway, got the Dell. The super-cute metal chick salesperson probably thought she'd worked her womanly wiles on me, complementing my band t-shirt and all that, but no, my mind was already made up.

As soon as I've finished marvelling at how much white space there is either side of the forum now

Damn, Lizard, you're crazier than I when it comes to comparing products. You've got the thing and have 90 tabs open.

Damn, Lizard, you're crazier than I when it comes to comparing products. You've got the thing and have 90 tabs open. Well, I don't do a very fucking good job of it because this monitor isn't the one I thought it was - it's the non-gaming version, no 'G' at the end of the serial number. What a fucking eejit. All open and set up now so I can't take it back. Main difference are that the refresh rate only goes up to 100hz as opposed to 144hz and no HDR. Not so bothered about the refresh rate as I'm generally fine with 60fps, but I would've liked HDR. Oh well, might be able to sell it around Black Friday 2024 and rectify my error. I can't even blame the cute assistant.

I imagine her sales pitch was “it’s curved innit” while striking a pose.

She didn't have a sales pitch. We talked about gigs for a while and then I said 'I want this' pointing to the webpage on my phone. Clearly I needed a greasy nerd to save me from myself.

F1 '23 did look pretty good though. Forza repeatedly crashed despite trying Special K manipulation. Currently re-downloading downloading Cyberpunk - just under four hours to go, I love this internet.
ArcGIS Pro will be much easier to use on this though, as will Ableton I expect. Good for Excel too, I guess...
Still a fucking idiot though.

Do they not have a "no questions asked" returns policy then?

Probably not after I've broken the seal and assembled everything.

No harm in asking, especially since it's a genuine error.

I'd definitely be taking it back.

Good thing I listened to you lot rather than my Englishness - manager was happy to exchange. Unfortunately, they sold the last of the Samsungs this morning. Metal chick tried to swing me straight up refund, but the manager said store credit only so I'm now the proud owner of a $674 JB Hi-Fi gift card. Website says they can deliver the Samsung next week, so there we go.
Fired up Cyberpunk on the laptop's HDR screen and it looked heaps better, so definitely the right choice.
EDIT: ordered the Samsung and the balance covered delivery and some crappy Logitech desk speakers.
