Is this the first flat quantum dot monitor? It looks flat in the pictures.

I know in HDR 4:4:4 the max refresh is 98Hz. What is the max refresh without compression for 4:2:0 on DP 1.4?

HDR on or off doesn't require more bandwidth - the limitation is with 8-bit vs 10-bit colour. It should be able to do:
8-bit full range RGB at 144 Hz
8-bit limited range YCbCr444 at 144 Hz
10-bit limited range YCbCr422 at 144 Hz
10-bit limited range YCbBr444 at 98 Hz.

8-bit full range RGB is not equivalent to 8-bit limited range YCbCr444. YCbCr is always limited range which looks like crap at 8-bit. Limited range is a non-issue at 10-bit, but 4:2:2 makes the desktop unusable.
It does 144 Hz without compression (DSC) due to overclocking. 4:2:2 is not "compression".

Now this is a nice monitor, but priced crazy so only the top end money wasters can afford it... Shame. I would like a non nVidia version of this, with a lower price point.

These specs are what I have been waiting years for, but I can't see myself ever spending more than $1,000 for a <27" monitor. I don't care how good it is.

So next thought... how long do I have to wait for the price to come down to a practical range?

the 21:9 version of this monitor is PG35VQ, (though it is 1440p instead of 4k) --- and I will be making that leap.

I would say probably in 3yrs you will find those kind of specs at 1K or even below that ......

Samsung is updating firmwares of some of their 2018 TVs. The 65" version of the NU8000 costs 500$ less than this 27" G-Sync "wonder" while the 75" version costs 500$ more. No comment

The new firmware introduces FreeSync support to some of their lineup. Its also just 1080p support at the moment. Aimed at consoles user as a added value to the TV.

Digital Trends said:
Although Samsung does sell FreeSync TVs, they are not something its entire range typically supports. As of firmware update 1103 though, it appears that more of its lineup than ever can now make use of it. According to Rtings, Samsung’s QLED Q6FN, Q7FN, Q8FN, Q9FN, and NU8000 all now support FreeSync technology. If you have your AMD graphics-equipped PC or an Xbox One S or X hooked up to one of those TVs, you should now be able to enjoy FreeSync.
To make use of the new FreeSync mode, you’ll need to head into the TV’s settings menu, followed by General, External Device Manager, Game Mode Settings and ultimately, select “FreeSync.” Set it to “On.” Options include “Ultimate,” which has a range of 48-120Hz, while “Basic,” supports 90-120Hz.

Gaming on your couch or bed watching a 55-65-75-82 inch screen on your X-Box is not bad,

And the later ones will get higher resolution. They need to start somewhere. And that's a big selling point.

By the time they reach a price you're willing to pay you'll likely be dead.

Playing Shadow Of War and Witcher3 on the couch with my lapboard was pretty awesome. Next time I get to play a game will be better with my recliner :)
