I got the message that the parcel had been delivered. Sat at work watching the minutes tick by patiently waiting to get home and unwrap my new toy. Rang the missus to check the parcel had no damage from the courier, "No damage... but It's HUGE" she said. Even more excited now! Watched kettle never boils... Of course i drove at all the speed limits all the way home! got in the front door and pecked her on the cheek before pushing past in to the front room to see this towering object wrapped in black plastic. No way is this monitor that big! finally after taking a few pics of the box unwrapped I get the feeling that the excitement is worth it. opened the box(nearly the wrong way round)to be met with a very well thought out bit of packaging and planning. you just take out all the spare parts and actually build them and then attach that to the screen without removing it from the box. Genius. Ok, Its massive. As wide as my 55" Tv!!! So I quickly attached up to the PC (with my new 2080 Ti installed just days before) and updated the hardware as there was a usb download for it to stop some of the earlier issues. WOW. Not having those bezels there makes the world of difference! quickly downloaded the most detailed 32:9 wallpapers I could find. Mind blown... Right then, lets get some gaming going on. driving games beautiful, a game with pyramids in, Beautiful. a certain world war 2 game, Beautiful. Immersion is something I've always managed to get from 2 or 3 monitors but this... this really is on a whole new level. Im drawn in like nothing i even could imagine just purely because of no bezels and the level of detail. Ok. So I showed it off to friends that came round and played a lot of hours of gaming and also browsing whilst watching films side by side on it. They loved it and were in awe. taking selfies with it and sending pics to their teccy mates to show them what they're missing out on. Made me feel like a proud dad... I honestly can't say it enough. IT IS JUST BEAUTIFUL! The colours are strong the QLED works so well, viewing angle is perfect as long as you don't sit to close. There is a but... and it's a big but! The best refresh rate I can get out of it with my top of the line Gsync card is 100hz!!! Really? Freesync 2 would have been lovely but I opted for a dearer card and had to pay the penalty for that by not getting the most out of it. What a waste of over £1000 for my card! This monitor made me feel like I'd found a pound but lost a tenner... :(

In my opinion Samsung CHG90 is perfect device to enhance your PC/Gaming Experience. Now thanks to 49 inches screen I’m able to browse multiple websites at the same time, playing game and having a guide to it opened on the second half of the screen. The amount of new possibilities and combination with setting up your display is enormous. Also playing on full screen 3840x1080 is fantastic. Any racing,strategy or action adventure games which supports HDR looks stunning and immersive, which on first pirson shooter games thanks to ultra-wide screen you have a small advantage of having a wider visibility. CHG90 is also good in photo programs which makes modifying/editing photos much easier, thanks to good resolution you can see much more details and also colours are enhancement which is really important if we are valuing high quality in every aspect. One of the many CHG90 major features is HDR, which any software which is compatible looks beautiful. The only downsizing of the Samsung Ultrawide is lack of 4K resolution but that means that you don't have to have a top tier graphic card, any average will handle latest games fine. CHG90 is 144hz monitor so the difference in smoothness is gigantic which you are able to see a difference even in desktop. With FreeSync 2 module any AMD graphic card user will get even smoother framerate in video games.

Everything that the CHG90 does, it does well - like the 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time and FreeSync 2 – Using the monitor, especially in fullscreen when gaming, is a strange, wonderful experience. The extended field of view along with the curved screen give a level of immersion that I've never experienced before. The screen allows much greater productivity and multitasking than using two standard 1080p monitors however I didn't personally see much benefit from layout improvement since I was using a 4K monitor in addition to a 1080p one previously and I miss the extra height that this offered in addition to the width. I liked the idea of the software that split the screen to allow many multiple programs to be easily set to a screen location, but I found that it was somewhat hit and miss as to whether a particular program would support the software and snap to the smaller window when required. Lastly regarding cost, I cannot agree that this monitor offers good value for money. Considering the price I would have expected the resolution to be at least that of 1440p without losing any of the other features. It's not all bad though, there are plenty of connectivity options for the CGH90 and the use of profiles to set the screen to your ideal output depending on your use at that makes temporary adjustment so much easier, whether that was in games, photo editing or office applications and web browsing or watching a movie. As I said, it's features are excellent and numerous it's just let down by price, other software incompatibilities and ultimately by the low resolution.

Thank you for reaching out and leaving us a review. Those 4 stars mean the world to us! When designing the CJ89 with it's 32:9 aspect ratio, we wanted to offer you immersive viewing, seamless multi-tasking, and a simply mind-blowing gaming experience, whilst also maximising space. Based on your review it sounds like we achieved that and more, with its Picture-by-Picture function which simultaneously displays input from two devices at their native resolution, it's simple to connect a second PC, a laptop or a mobile device to split the screen and multi-task with ease. The CJ89 combines the same horizontal work space as two 27” screens, allows for seamless connectivity of numerous devices, using two USB-C and multiple USB 3.0 connections, has built in 7W speakers which provide a powerful soundstage for you to enjoy all your music, movies, and games in rich, clear sound whilst also saving you space on your desk. All this does make for a very unique experience but we do take your points on board and will take them into account so that next time we can reach for that fifth star. ^Dan

Ce moniteur offre des possibilités inimaginables. Vous pouvez l'utiliser aussi bien seul aussi que le partitionner en deux écrans séparés grâce au mode picture by picture (PBP). Ne vous fiez pas aux personnes qui disent que le moniteur est limité en 1080p verticalement car cela ne va pas vous déranger aucunement. Vous n'avez pas besoin d'une carte graphique onéreuse et récente pour faire tourner des jeux à plus de 100 images par seconde. Certes le nouveau modèle est apparu avec une résolution verticale de 1440p mais il est limité à 120Hz et le temps de réponse passe à 4ms. Pour moi c'est le meilleur investissement actuellement.

This monitor is absolutely superb, moving away from two twenty-eight-inch monitors has really increased my focus when completing tasks. This large display not only makes life easier when having multiple windows open, but I am no longer having to look between two screens with a bezel in-between. The range of inputs is fantastic and being able to not only swivel the monitor you are able to lower/raise it. The graphics that are displayed are fantastic having cross compared them to my last set but with the aspect ratio given with this monitor, makes my playing of ‘real-time-strategy’ games even more intense as you are able to see more across a map. Samsung’s ‘EasyBox’ software application makes it seamless when trying to place multiple windows across the screen in whichever formation that might be. This one monitor might be of a large size but it really makes me think why I did not purchase one of these before. I am really blown away with the design, colour reproduction and immersion into using this especially at night. The light on the back only makes this monitor even more desirable! For any gamer, pro gamer or power user, this would definitely be 100% be recommended and you will wonder how you functioned without it.

C'est un très beau produit. Si je mets cette note, c'est pour que Samsung mette des actions en place. Premièrement j'ai reçu l'écran avec une partie de l'écran un peu décollé, mais ça s'est résolu dans le temps. En à peine une semaine, j'ai un pixel qui est mort. Niveau software, Easy setting box est bien pensé, mais n'est pas très fonctionnel : les applications ne se touchent pas (on voit le bureau donc on perd en espace) et il n'est pas compatible avec tous les logiciels (il rend un de mes logiciels inutilisables --> temps de latence excessif). De plus, sur le site, Samsung ne propose même pas la dernière version. Avec ces nombreux points négatifs, je recommande cet écran en espérant que Samsung mette en place des mises à jour.

Wow, wow, wow! The sheer enormity of this screen hits you when the box arrives on your doorstep, it's simply immense. As a tip I would recommend moving the box to the room in which the monitor will live and then proceed to unboxing it. Follow the unboxing instructions included on the box as this simplifies everything. I had it all setup in around 15-20 minutes (including cabling up) On the subject of cables, you get everything you could possibly want cable-wise included, however, getting to the connectors can be tricky when it's in situ so I would recommend inserting the cables whilst the monitor is still on it's front in the box. This also holds true for sorting out the excellent (but tight!) cable management built into the monitor. Time to fire it up... OK, initial disappointment as the resolution wasn't readily recognised .I have an Nvidia GTX1060 8GB card and although the Nvidia suite noted the correct resolution it clearly wasn't actually displaying at that resolution. So I headed to good old Windows display control, set the resolution there and voila! A M A Z I N G !! and that was just the desktop. Now time to put this beast through it's paces... Forza Horizon 4. Simply put, playing on this scale at a desk really does negate the need for VR. After playing for just a few minutes you really feel you are there! It just about engulfs your whole field of view. Time to take to the skies in XPlane 11. Again, just like being in the aircraft and a far superior jump up from a 3 screen setup. Just needed to play with the FOV (field of view) setting during a paused game to get the most realistic view of the cockpit. Couple these visuals with realistic flight controls and you could feel like you are flying literally anywhere! Finally time to shoot some bad guys... Gears of War 4. Big, immersive, edge of your seat action on an epic scale. I set all the games to the native resolution running everything in Ultra with no problems. Some people have commented that the 1080 vertical aspect is not as expected but to run anything higher, height wise, would exclude so many people, other than those with ultra high end PCs from utilising the screen. A wise decision on Samsung's part I think. To conclude then, If you're a gamer, video or photo editor or currently have 2+ screens to work on, give this monitor your attention. You won't be disappointed, the future is curved!

We are mainly using the monitor in a home office environment as a replacement for two individual side by side widescreen monitors. This means we are able to work with two large spreadsheets and outlook/file explorer simultaneously which really helps with workflow. The quality of picture and sharpness are very impressive! We also have it connected to a games console which allowed us to discontinue use of our LED HD TV for this purpose. It has a very good menu interface and easy to switch between different sources. It also has a very useful USB fast charge hub. Once you have experienced this you will not want to go back to a normal screen. The only downside currently is that games consoles do not support the 21:9 format (only PC games do currently). Once consoles support this format it will be a game changer and mean we get full benefit of the impressive screen

Stay away from that product. It has mayor problems displaying anything when cold or when it has been unused for a few days. All you see are colorful artefacts (not even the menu is being displayed). Everyday I start this monitor I regret paying that much money for something that just doesn't work. Want to write a quick email? Better start up your computer and Monitor 10min before so it's usable.

Great monitor when it works but when it doesn't get ready to pull your hair out, I've been a total of 2 months without my monitor so far and on the 4th "repair" attempt atm, Samsung support don't care they just refer you to the repair centre and that's it. Also the site seems to be blocking a proper review of my issue hence this mini review.

Magnifique, excellent juste parfait..! Après une année d'utilisation je ne conçois plus ma vie en dessous d'un 49p* !!! Toute est au top ! l'installation du pieds me logiciel lui et juste un peu "chiant" a configurer correctement au début pour le partage d'écran mais après c'est un pure régale..! Mon seul point négatif a cette merveille et qu'après une année j'ai souhaité refaire la disposition de mon bureau et j'ai pour cela souhaité installer mon écran sur un support mural... mais le hic c'est que sur aucun site ni même avec le support client ( qui sont très aimable) non pu m'aider à faire l'acquisition de la tête (particulière et unique à cet écran ) pour un raccordement sur un support mural car les modem universel ne sont pas adaptable... donc pour un écran a 1000e ou on nois dit de partout oui il est possible de le mettre en support mural mais dans l'incapacité la plus total a trouver cette fameuse pièces ( the graal !!) c'est fort dommage... Hormis se détails titillant. Cette écran reste une pure merveille !!

I bought the Samsung 49" CHG90 ultra-wide monitor to replace my dual monitor set-up and I love it, this has a 32:9 curved screen and a resolution of 3840 x 1080. Pros • It has several advantages over dual monitors: ○ No central bar down the middle of the screen. ○ Only 1 monitor cable and 1 power cable. • The monitor also has USB ports so can be used to plug in your keyboard and mouse. • The ultra-wide curved screen feels more immersive when playing games. • A fast 144Hz refresh for games. Cons • This is a very wide screen, so make sure you have a large desk (my desk is 4' wide and 2' deep, which is fine) • The resolution is not 4k, although I find the resolution fine, especially for gaming. • The Samsung software for splitting the screen (Easy Setting Box) does not seem to be supported by all apps., it works well with Office, but I could not get web browsers to recognise the windows. So I ended up just using the built in Windows snap features. Overall, this is a great monitor and I wouldn't want to go back to dual screens, as one large screen offers more flexibility with window placement and is more immersive in games.

The CHG90 is a 49" super ultra-wide (32:9) curved monitor that is marketed for gamers. This is mainly due to the fact is has HDR, fast response time, 144Hz refresh rate, AMD Freesync 2 support and it's curved super ultrawide format creates an immersive gaming experience - and all this does make it a truly great gaming monitor, believe me. However, please do not let the gaming moniker put you off if you don't class yourself as a gamer. I found that the monitor lends itself perfectly to productivity. The sheer size at a 32:9 aspect ratio means that it can support multiple windows in a way that a multiple monitor set up cannot. With a multiple monitor setup you are restricted by the physical limitations of the monitor edges - you can't work a spreadsheet across the edge of two side by side monitors. This monitor gives you the freedom on placing windows wherever you want, without restriction. Before purchasing you should however be aware of two things - 1. make sure you have enough space as this thing is massive 2. the 3840 X 1080 resolution may not suit everyone, particularly those used to a higher vertical resolution. If you are aware of these two specifications and they fit with your requirements then I am sure that this will probably be the best monitor you will ever use.

I use my PC for both work and gaming, and before buying the CHG90 I was running tow 27" monitors side by side. The CHG90 is infinitely better. As you unbox the monitor you are presented with instructions for attaching the stand while the monitor remains in the box, this makes it very straight forward to get the monitor out for one person and start setting things up. You should bear in mind this is a very large monitor, and as such I would recommend plugging any leads into the back before you get it into position or this can be a bit tricky! I got plugged in and everything worked straight away. the resolution is the same as two 27" monitors side by side, but the obvious difference is no bezel in the middle, allowing you to easily manage three windows side by side on your desktop. The included software makes moving windows around and getting them where you want them a breeze. The real test on a gaming monitor is of course playing games. The CHG90 doesn't disappoint here either. The curve of the monitor makes you feel completely immersed in gameplay, and of course all that extra screen makes it great for keeping tabs on what's going on around you. To sum up I would say that if you have the cash this is a fantastic buy, both for gaming, or just if you like to multi task in Windows.

Where do I begin .. The CHG90 is a cinematic experience through and through .. an immersive gift to all escape seeking game-aholics and thrill seekers .. it often feels just like being at the movies from your own home (especially when I hook up a decent soundbar). Moving from a smaller Samsung ultra wide moitor initially the experience was very much the same .. my peripheral vision was already almost fully entertained gaming on such a monitor - although pretty much every other use I have for a monitor is taken care of - especially the sheer amount of real estate for working in multiple areas at once e.g. visual studio, a spreadsheet and watching a movie at the same time - FANTASTIC. You may also hook the monitor up to display output from a games console AND PC simultaneously, and be able to prioritise the amount of space allocated to each. For me personally this helps juggling a busy job at times and spending time with my 4 year old as he can sit on my lap playing games whilst I continue debugging a script or what have you. All in all this monitor is a major showpiece from Samsung and it is the greatest monitor overall I have ever had. If you are on the fence about getting it - my advice would be to get it and try it, several of my close friends and co-workers have already purchased this monitor off the back of looking and playing with mine. A true showpiece!

Super écran, sauf 1080p en hauteur... cela reste juste et le crénelage est présent sur les jeux... pas insupportable mais lorsque l'on vient d'un écran en 1440p voir 4K... c'est désagréable... Pour celui qui ne trouve pas de support murale (voir les différentes notes)... il y a un adaptateur livré avec l'écran, il se loge et se fixe à l'écran en remplacement du pied... ensuite il suffit d'acheter un bras compatible vesa 100x100... que l'on fixe dessus, c'est standard. Que Freesync, pas de GSYNC ça aussi c'est dommage... Pour le Simracing, vraiment pas mal, associé avec un TRACKIR c'est tout simplement parfait... et je le préfère même à mon casque HTC VIVE PRo, bien plus confortable, qu'un casque même si l'on perd de l'immersion. Le HDR... et bien je ne sais pas si il y a un problème avec cette écran mais une fois activé sous Windows cela devient bof, palichon, moche... et pas super convaincant et en jeu pas de Wahou... Pour ces divers détails... je passe à l'Odissey G9... enfin si il arrive un jour... plus d'un mois de retard... A noter également des fuites de lumières... acceptables en jeu... Donc cet écran n'est pas parfait, pas de GSYNC, HDR à améliorer, Fuites de lumière, 1080p juste pour la taille mais il conviendra à la majorité des joueurs ou des travailleurs qui ont besoin d'espace à l'écran... au prix de douleurs cervicales à force de tourner la tête pour voir les extimités :-)...

The first thing you notice with the Samsung CHG90 is just how massive the box is - roughly the size of a medium-sized fridge freezer. Opening the box you'll see assembly instructions. These are very straightforward as you attach the stand whilst the monitor is still face-down in its box. Once it's attached you just tip the box up so the monitor is standing on its feet and assembly is effectively complete. One worry with a monitor this size might be that assembly will be awkward, but that is not the case with this monitor. The box contains all the cables you may need - HDMI, DisplayPort, Power (UK and Europe power leads). I've primarily used the monitor in PBP (Picture-By-Picture) mode which means you can have a separate input source on each half of the monitor. This could be from separate devices (two different computers, console and computer, etc.) or two sources from the same device. I've mainly used it in the latter setup which results in a traditional dual-monitor setup with zero bezel between the two monitors. This allows all the standard features, such as snapping windows, to work as expected. The resolution in this mode is 1920x1080 for each half of the monitor, so full HD for each half. It's also possible to use Samsung software to mimic this functionality without using Picture-By-Picture mode. Initially I tested the monitor during office work and this worked very well. Not having a bezel in the middle means it's easy to have three windows side-by-side as you can have one in the middle that would usually be broken up by bezel in a traditional dual monitor setup. During gaming I switched off Picture-By-Picture mode and set the resolution to a full 3840x1080. This results in a very immersive experience and is an excellent way to game. Both the width and the curve add to this effect. Pros: * Massive monitor * Curve adds to immersion when gaming * Picture quality is great * Picture-By-Picture is an excellent feature to enable a "traditional" dual monitor experience without any bezel * Did I mention the monitor is huge? Cons: * Limited vertical resolution of 1080. This is unfortunate for someone like me who moved from higher resolution monitors as you end up noticing the limited vertical space. This won't be an issue for someone moving from a 1920x1080 monitor Overall, excellent monitor for anyone who wants a seamless dual monitor setup, or wants a super-wide monitor for gaming.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow - what the...... Everyone who has seen us using this monitor has said that exact same thing. Possibly the longest box that I have ever had delivered securely held this astounding screen. The orientation for unpacking (you need to open at the bottom) serves to best protect in transit the magnificent screen. Once setup I tried using the CHG90 like my office dual screen setup - with apps side by side - with 50% of the screen allocated to one app on the left and another on the right - this was great and there are none of the needing to factor in a gap between screens. But I was missing a trick - we all only focus on one thing at a time, no matter how much we might kid ourselves that we are 'multi-tasking' we really do only focus on one thing at a time and switch to secondary tasks - or data sources - when required. So I moved the primary app to the centre and I can run two secondary apps, one either side of the main one now I can sit straight and focus properly without continual twisting. The best application has to be video / animation editing as I can run the edit on one side, have the master in the middle and other tools (effects etc.) on the right. Looking at the controls of the screen you have the standard Samsung 'joystick' (same as Samsung TVs) as well as three instant preset buttons - which allow you to quickly switch between settings which you can select as suitable for different tasks or devices On changing devices, connectivity is great, the only minor niggle is that there is no 15-way Sub-D VGA connector present. Using a higher-end gaming PC (consoles seem not to be able to best cope with the aspect ratio) it is that level of immersion one feels when using this screen that knocks other curved screens out of the park. Run PUBG, see the landscape all around you - giving you a much wider viewing angle and providing a competitive edge against those who are effectively blinkered by the standard 16:9 aspect ratio. Using this has literally been an eye-opening experience. A long time ago now, many people questioned if full-HD was really needed other than for special applications, 4k is here and now a defacto minimum standard for TVs but is making little headroom for monitors as on a screen small enough to fit on a desk (and not cause eye strain) the differences a unnoticeable - this double-wide ratio 32:9 I predict to be the future of first office information workers, developers and video editors then serious gamers and the rest of us!

The CHG90 monitor from Samsung, like everything, has its strenghts and weaknesses. First of all the strengths. This monitor really shines when gaming and is obviously built for it in pretty much every way, from the low response times to the HD resolution. That might sound like a strange thing to say when you consider that you can now get 4k monitors and this is only 1080p, but if you opt for 4k, your graphics card will have to push 4x the pixels to your display and that just isn't necessary. That makes this screen absolutely perfect for anyone looking to upgrade their gaming experience. Running through a warzone in Battlefield 1, racing into the sunset in Forza, or re-living Half Life 2. Every single game you throw at it looks stunning, it draws you into the action in a way that other screens just can't. It gave me the edge in B1 a few times by being able to spot enemies in my peripheral. Just remember to check if your favourite game supports ultrawides, or you'll end up craning your neck to read your ammo count at the very bottom left of the screen. Now for the negatives. First of all, the UK plug was hidden at the very bottom of the box - underneath the screen and the polystyrene. The logical place to put it would have been in the box of accessories. It also shone when used as Picture-By-Picture (PBP), which allows you to use the screen as two seperate monitors with different inputs. I used it with a Raspberry Pi on one side and my PC on the other. I did experience some problems with this - when I plugged in my Pi, the screen would freak out then go blank. However the screen worked fine if I switched to the Pi as the sole input. Whatever the problem was, it sorted itself out. When it came to productivity, the screen was great once you got out of the habit of running everything in full screen! Instead, I used a 3rd party tool to better split the windows, as the one that comes with the screen didn't work with Firefox or Spotify. Perhaps the main problem for me was the legibility of the text. Whatever I did, I just couldn't get the text to look right, it would always appear slightly fuzzy. The size is also a negative when it comes to productivity. The screen is effectively 2x 27" monitors, but unless you move the screen so you're looking at one side (rather than dead central), then you end up staring at a patch of screen 27" in the middle of the monitor and 2x 13.5" slithers at each side. So for productivity, it actually needs to be bigger!

There are many things this monitor does well. Very well in fact. The sheer width of the screen gives a lot of real-estate in which to load up various apps at the same time. It also means that for games that support the aspect ratio, the immersion is off the charts. The high refresh rate and response rates mean that in twitch shooters and games where speedy reflexes and fast movements are beneficial, this monitor gives you an edge. For photo editing, the colour reproduction is well calibrated. It's also really nice to see your photos and colour gradients without any trace of banding or visible dithering. It's really nice for watching movies too, as the black levels are both very deep and detailed. Thankfully, the on screen options are easy to use. My favourite use case for this monitor is the split screen. I can have my PC plugged in via DP on the left half, and my laptop plugged in via miniDP on the right half, and run software on both that checks the right/left edge of the split screen for the mouse crossing it. This allows me to use one mouse/keyboard and move between operating systems seamlessly. There are, however, many things it does not do well. Whilst the width is mindblowing, the flip side of this monitor is it's vertical resolution. At just 1080 pixels bottom to top, the physical height means those pixels are stretched quite large. How large? Approx 0.3mm. The pixels are clearly visible. This means when writing/reading text, if you are in any way used to 'retina' quality display, you will find the difference to be distracting. Letters become jagged, the softening patterns that OSX and Windows apply are visible and sometimes make words look lumpy. When reading articles online or doing some coding, it becomes a fairly disappointing experience. Another issue I had with this monitor (and to be fair, this will be rectified by using the included wall mount), is that when on it's highest stand height, the bottom of the monitor is a good 3 inches lower than the top of my 15" laptop. What this means in practice is that if you want to use both your laptop screen and the monitor, you'll have a large chunk of the monitor's screen obscured by said laptop. Also, the placement of the USB3 hub ports are behind the plastic cable cover and not easily 'hot-swappable'. Again, easily rectifiable by running a hub off the hidden monitor ports, but at that point, why not just run a hub off your computer? This is a very good monitor. It's just not perfect: 7/10

A nice insightful review, Skyfox! It's fantastic to hear you feel this monitor adds that needed edge for today's gamers and as they'll understand, immersion is everything! The ultra-wide screen with its innovative 32:9 aspect ratio means you always get to see game scenes in their entirety, exactly as originally intended. The 1800R curved panel helps you to immerse in gameplay and delivers cinematic views, which is fantastic and the depth of colour is truly awe-inspiring! The height adjustable stand is designed for maximum comfort and it’s unfortunate to hear you're having issues with your particular setup.

Wow - what the...... Everyone who has seen us using this monitor has said that exact same thing. Possibly the longest box that I have ever had delivered securely held this astounding screen. The orientation for unpacking (you need to open at the bottom) seems illogical until you consider the effects of physics and most likely direction that stresses might be put on this extent of LCD panel during the packages transport - this alone shows what care and attention has gone into every aspect of the design - from safe and secure packaging through physical and aesthetic design to unrivalled technology for office and home use. Once setup I thought of using this in just the same way as I might use my existing home ultrawide (a halfway house between a regular full-HD screen an this monitor) or office dual screen setup - with apps side by side - with 50% of the screen allocated to one app on the left and another on the right - this was great and there are none of the needing to factor in a gap or misalignment that one might experience when using two not-quite-identical screens. But I was missing a trick - we all only focus on one thing at a time, whilst referring to others - no matter how much we might kid ourselves that we are 'multi-tasking' we really do only focus on one thing at a time and switch to secondary tasks - or data sources - when required. Taking this logic to the screen I moved the primary app to the centre (Look! No gap as with dual screens!) and I can run two secondary apps, one either side of the main one and no need to develop a tennis umpires stiff neck switching from viewing apps left then right as the move is from the centre of the screen 1/2 left or right! The best application has to be video / animation editing** as I can run the edit on one side, have the master in the middle and other tools (effects etc.) on the right. Looking at the raw features of the screen (and I don't intend to simply create a feature list here!) you have the standard Samsung 'joystick' control which I am very used to from our Samsung TVs, as well as three instant preset buttons - which allow you to quickly switch between settings which you can select as suitable for different tasks (e.g. Video editing. text based office work and gaming) rather than fiddling with all of the available settings every time you change task (or connected device) to get the optimal result. Speaking of changing devices, connectivity is great, (2500 chars!) the only minor niggle is that there is not a standard 15-way Sub-D VGA connector present, there are plenty of workarounds for this and the connector is very little used on new devices. I like being able to connect a couple of PCs and a gaming console and these are comfortable accommodated. Gaming is best experienced on a higher-end gaming PC - consoles seem not to be able to best cope with the aspect ratio and lower end PCs struggle with the sheer resolution! Suggested entry level to do this screen (happy at 120Hz refresh) is something like a GTX1060 with 6GB of RAM, ours works alongside a series 7 i5, with 32GB of RAM, though most of the effort sits with the GPU, so this is where the focus of the PC should be. Running a plethora of benchmarks at the full resolution of the screen did stretch this setup to the limit, but the visuals were amazing - and it is that level of immersion one feels when using this screen that knocks other curved screens out of the park. Run PUBG, see the landscape all around you - giving you a much wider viewing angle and providing a competitive edge against those who are effectively blinkered by the standard 16:9 aspect ratio. Wow, what the.... heck am I going to do when I return this unit (apart from forewarn the courier to make plenty of space in their van!) this has literally been an eye opening experience. A long time ago now, many people questioned if full-HD was really needed other than for special applications, 4k is here and now a de facto minimum standard for TVs but is making little headroom for monitors as on a screen small enough to fit on a desk (and not cause eye strain) the differences a unnoticeable - this double-wide ratio 32:9 I predict to be the future of first office information workers, developers and video editors along with serious gamers following and coming to other users, as all great technologies have. Truly, a ground-breaking screen.
I recommended this product.
