4K is overrated for games and productivity. Most people don't have the graphics card to drive a game at 4K on a standard 16:9 screen, let alone an ultrawide with more pixels. And watching movies on a 32:9 ratio is kinda funky. I have this and love it for 1440p gaming.
I believe it but I don't buy monitors very often. My last PC monitor was the 1080p Dell ultra sharp from 10 years ago. I currently game on a 65-in LG C1.

This would go in the office and I prefer 4K for productivity. I do a little gaming there but not a ton. I buy and hold for a long time and can't really see wanting to be stuck at 1440 for 10 years.

I'm big into home theater not for anything in the world am I going to watch a movie on a PC monitor

Bought it for $577 including taxes last Black friday. On top, received $50 cashback. Excellent monitor, using it daily.

Use one for work every day, great monitor
I want an ultra wide screen for WFM. Do you have this gaming model you use for work or the office version?

Dude, what?


I've WFH for 3 years on a Samsung 40" 4k panel and it is glorious. So much real estate that I can easily have 3 simultaneous docs open and take a meeting. The text is all sharp and legible. It's a beautiful thing and I'd have a very hard time going back.

You're saying this is better than a 2 monitor setup?
I think it is. Doesnt matter how "borderless" two monitors are, you can't completely eliminate the gap in between. But again, as i mentioned above in things to consider, it is much easier to set up two monitors with arm stands than setting up this thing. And the stands for smaller monitors x2 is much cheaper than this one (which after doing all the research there is like only one out there that works well costing 350$). So it is really up to you how you want the monitor to function. If everything you do can be achieved with 2 monitors (no plan for full wide screen game etc), maybe the monitor is not for you.

But all in all; i feel once you use this, you will not want to go back to 2 monitors

Thanks! I'm in between this and the Neo G9.

Here is my setup. Like it was mentioned before, you need space to make it work. But if you do, I'll say go for it.

Browsing: it's a breeze there is few software's that you can split your work space. So while holding shift I just and drag a window where I want.

Video editing is one of my favorites so much space for tabs on premiere it makes everything so much easier.

Gaming you need a beefy card to drive this monitor. I was running a 2080 Super, on cod was getting around 80 fps on low. Upgraded to a 4090 and I'm getting around 170-210. You see even with a good gpu and cpu I still can't maximize it to its full 240. So if you game and are playing fps games beware that fps will suffer.

Aesthetics it's amazing everyone is just wow when they come visit or see pictures and the first thing is the monitor

Here are some more pictures

There is also my new build in there Smilie

Hope you guys like it

There are pro and con.
It is immersive feeling that the curved screen wraps around you.
Great for people who use excel all the time like me; no side scroll is needed. You know what i mean if you are an excel guy.

I use this as a home office monitor for work and occasionally for photo edits with light room.

When i screen share on Team or zoom, other wont be able to see my screen properly as it is shown in weird ratio; you need to share "window" with no full screen share.

Color could be better for the photo edit. I used to use c1 48inch before and i like c1 better for the reason.

I bought like a year or two when this was 750-799 ish at samsung.com

The OLED version of this monitor (albeit with a 1800r curve rather than the 1000r) should be coming out this summer which might explain why these deals are starting to pop up.

Bought the same monitor 2 years ago for this price (i think was 900 something after tax). Great monitor with no issues. I had a dead pixel a month ago, but was able to fix it by running the pixel-fixing website for few hours and it was gone all together.

Major thing to consider :
Desk space- this monitor's default stand take a LARGE amount of space, it was fine initially but i ultimately bout the monitor arm stand which cost additional 350$ ish, so definitely take that into consideration because normal stands will not hold the weight of this computer.
Usage- for work, this monitor is great, you can easily move things from side to side and split things (can get program like displayfusion to make things easier to move /split). There is no comparison with two monitor side by side since the fluidity is much better and u can split to 3 screens or whatever you like with the app.
As for gaming, many games dont support screen this wide, so consider that when buying for gaming. Many games i play i actually end up using half of the screen and have the other half open up guides or youtube video etc.
Check out Flawless Widescreen. It enables resolutions not supported by games. It works seamlessly with just about every game.

I'm so close to buying an ultra wide but really want 4K to come down a little bit. This is really tempting.
These monitors are life-changing for work.

You sure that was the G9 with 240Hz refresh rate and 1000R curve, not the the CRG9 with a 120Hz refresh rate and an 1800R curve?

I was looking at one of these back when i built my new PC in Oct. I ended up getting the G7 144hz 4k instead. Got it for around $500 minus $200 cash back from a credit card offer. It's been great so far.

What if I want to do full screen on youtube/whatever video streaming app on half the screen? Would that be possible?
