Cons
Con Poor viewing angle
Because of its VA panel, the Samsung Q7C has relatively narrow viewing angle. You will see noticeable color degradation and brightness shift if the angle between you and the panel is greater than 25 degrees. However, it's worth noting that the majority of VA panels does suffer from this issue.
Con Not suitable for crowd-watching
Unfortunately, the curved panel of the Samsung Q7C looks good only from a single spot, which is located at the center of a circle made by the curve.

Con Bad for HDR gaming
The HDR gaming doesn't feel responsive on the P-Series Quantum because its fast 'gaming' HDMI port cannot process the HDR signal, and as a result, you'll need to use a slower HDMI port whose input lag measures at around 27 milliseconds.
