Important note: 2.24 in that video you can see, this is 4096x2160, not 3840x2160. From what I can tell the UN40JU7500 is 3840x2160, so there's a very good change this is not the UN40JU7500 panel at all.
The Samsung TVs also do 4096x2160 when connected to a PC. Why this guy in the video has it set to that resolution is beyond me but it's not native and looks blurry in person.
He more than likely saw it above 3840x2160 and figured higher is better.

Good to know, thanks. In that case the UN40JU7500 does indeed seem to be the most likely contender.
Or the JU6500 which is quite a bit worse. It's for sure 1 of the 2.
Oh damn, now you tell me! I bought one already so will report back when I have tested it. Is there a way for me to tell once I have it whether it's the JU6500 or the 75?
EDIT: actually from my research both the JU65 and JU75 40" panels have a 3000R curvature, which doesn't fit the 2000R of this QNIX. So it's likely a different panel altogether.
Yeah seems you are right but this doesn't really make sense. There are no other Samsung based 40 inch curved panels though other than all the variants from Samsung itself for different territories like the JU6600, JU6700.
You won't know what kind of panel it uses unless you remove the rear panel and check the manufacturer sticker behind the panel itself. They state themselves "PVA" which is Samsung sourced (they use S-PVA panels in their higher end TV's).
Based on the pictures though it doesn't even look like a 2000R curve so maybe they screwed up the specs which would be hilarious.
It's been up for some time, has anyone got theirs? Any opinions/reviews?
I bought a few days ago the "discounted" one that was up for pre order (the seller now made a new listing with it as the regular price) and he did not ship as promised by Nov 1st.
Kind of frustrated
Well apparently I lost my account Riddick so here is a new one. Shrug.
Anyway I'm SO VERY CLOSE to clicking buy on one of these monitors, found one for 627.93usd which seems like a good deal, any reason NOT to buy this monitor guys?
The PVA3 Led backing screen actually sounds/looks decent?
I also got my 4k action camera so eager to do a mini review video on the screen!
Ok order placed, if something goes wrong you will find me in the corner of the shower on the ground crying.... :-/
Oh look I got my main account back, cheers whoever sorted that out. Anyway MAYBE I get this monitor end of next week and can do a mini-review and video on YT about it. Hopefully I can avoid the dreaded crying in the shower scenario :)
PS. I was offered to get a pixel perfect screen for a extra ~70USD so I took it, they still need to confirm they have one so we will see. Looks like it may put a delay on receiving the screen as someone needs to check it over to find one that is all good.
I thought I should mention to people interested in this monitor or any korean monitor that there is quite a high percentage of screens with stuck or dead pixels (normally about 2 per screen).
I'm working with a ebay seller to try and get a good one but it may not happen and I will just need to decide on were I want my stuck pixels to be at :( . That is if I choose to buy this screen at all, given that ALL korean monitors tend to have these issues I probably won't have any luck unless I pay for a genuine LG monitor (they cost like 2k here)>.
Testing the UHD4020R for VA colour shift: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV8qGnlMUXc
The camera picks up how you see it with your eyes pretty well. The part in front of your eyes is bright, and everything else is dim. It's not noticeable on scenes with lots of different colours, but on a solid white or grey background it's pretty clear.
Default FreeSync range 48-61hz. I will report back when changing the EDID to see if I can expand the range southwards.
In Windows 8 colour management I had to bump gamma up a tiny amount, and turn Green down 2 notches, otherwise all default settings were good. There doesn't appear to be any colour uniformity problems, and if there are any dead pixels I haven't found them yet (bought from accessorieswhole on ebay. non-perfect pixel version, but nonetheless no dead pixels that I'm aware of)
EDIT: It's a BGR panel. I don't really understand how to use it, but the Response Time test here: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/response_time.php#response_time_gif has A, B, C, D all flashing red constantly. E onwards is not flashing.

I get my screen probably on Monday, mine will have 1 stuck pixel down the bottom quarter of screen and was the best they could find. No pixel perfect options atm but 1 stuck pixel isn't a major issue, I'll try and unstuck it but at the price it will be fine hopefully.
I will make a 4k YT video about the monitor with my new EZVIZ action camera, see how it goes.
VA panels are really not that bad. I notice the ghosting when dragging a web browser across the screen, but not when gaming at all. Philips 40" 4k brilliance monitor owner here.
I'm not sure what to expect from a PVA3 panel but guess I will find out on monday. It will haft to do until OLED becomes the norm I think...
UPDATE: I have it, and I'm not disappointed so far. I will try to post a video or some pictures tomorrow.
gmoney any reviews im waiting to get this monitor (other forums say that better input lag/response times) compared to wasabi UHD400, confirmed flicker free and freesync - only issues are backlight bleed and colors not great as a IPS panel
Waiting for Riddick's review as well before pulling the plug
I just got in the UHD400 and reviewed it today. Video in the editing queue.
Short version: Its a Samsung PVA panel (mine was labeled REAL4k0405VS in the OSD). It is good, not great. it would be "ok" for gaming, but not great. The panel quality is good. No suck/dead pixel that I could see. Acceptable backlight bleed, def. not severe.
200mm vesa mount. leight weight. overclockable! Freesync at 1080p worked really well! Surprisingly well! 50fps-70fps was fine. ~45fps may have been a bit iffy. Will need to do more testing.
RGB pixel arrangement, 4k, 40 inches, nice aluminum bezel.
Video soon.

Someone asked on YouTube, so pasting in my reply here:
do you recommend this monitor?
Yes, I don't regret getting it at all. It's a good monitor, and the brightness shift is much less annoying than I had expected it to be when I first got it. I prefer it to the Wasabi Mango UHD490 which is slightly too big and has an issue where content on the edge of the screen becomes invisible at certain angles. The QNIX is nicer and as far as I can tell is the best Korean 4k monitor available at the moment.
FWIW there is no noticeable backlight bleed on my unit, and I have it sat next to my IPS QNIX QX2710 and I could not say the colours are noticably better on the QX2710. They are about the same. This seems to be a good quality VA panel, generally.
