 You just got your beautiful new 34 inch ultra wide monitor Welcome to the absolute cream of the crop of gaming productivity and cinema experiences my friend is what I would have said if Samsung hadn't just grabbed the bar and re- stretched it with their brand new $1,300 49 inch 32 by 9 high refresh rate super ultra wide gaming monitor But is this thing like totally worth it man or just like totally stupid man Speaking of stupid today's sponsor Isn't the thermal take core p90 tempered glass case features 5 millimeter thick glass and angled open frame design Different layout options vertical GPU mounting with riser cable included and more check it out at the link below The chg90 is an absolute absolute behemoth its 49 inch diagonal quantum dot panel is nearly four feet wide and altogether it weighs 33 pounds and yet it still manages to look light and streamlined with thin bezels and a slender yet robust stand with a charcoal and titanium finish that hits that sweet spot between gamery and boring the 1800 are curved screen can swivel up to 15 degrees in either direction tilt between minus 2 and 15 degrees and elevate about 5 inches so Not nearly as high as it would have to be to support rotating into portrait mode Sorry reddit fanatics, but that is more than a little silly Flipping around to the back we find the integrated cable management hook standard power cable No brick required and a cover that pops off revealing to HDMI 2.0 ports to DisplayPort 1.3's one of which is of the mini me variety and Audio in and out so all that is actually pretty darn good But we do wish that the USB hub was a little more 2018 with more ports and maybe a type-c in there Oh, right, and they also threw in this secret headphone hanger that I'm betting exactly No one will use the awkward position aside most people are unlikely to have a desk that is deep enough To spare the extra 3 inches that you would need given that the monitors legs Already jowled out in front of the screen and the screen itself is so wide that you literally Cannot see all of it at once if you sit too close 28 inches is the minimum that you would need to use this thing comfortably and even then you will end up turning your head a little bit to see the start menu and the system tray Which I guess brings us to the experience of actually using it in a word Pretty dang Okay, that's two words, but you could basically think of the 32 by 9 aspect ratio as kind of like having two 27 inch 16 by 9 monitors side by side But without any bezels harshing your vibe kind of in practice though a 34 inch ultra wide already feels about as productive as two monitors this This lets you comfortably have three or maybe even four things open side by side if you stretch a bit It is so wide that it will actually require a little bit of creative thinking to make efficient use of it Even your 21 by 9 cinema scope movies will have black bars on the side So I mean one of the ideas we had was to run a 16 by 9 game in the middle With streaming and social media windows surrounding it cool, right? speaking of gaming Yes Just like with a regular ultra wide support for this resolution can be a little hit or miss With some games giving you black bars some zooming in and some of them working Correctly other than that the HUD ends up so far to the side. That's more like a herd With that said when it's good. It's really good You can have so much of your field of view filled up with screen that it's not that dissimilar to VR goggles but without the screen door or any controller Dongle edge and the girthy screen isn't the only perk for gamers the CHD 90 rocks a 144 Hertz refresh rate backlight strobing and free sync to Although it should be noted that strobing can't be used with free sync running at the same time The upside is that Samsung included some shortcut buttons to make toggling between custom display modes easy So we made one each for free sync versus fast response time and then another with eye saver for working Now let's have a little chat about one of the other features on the box HDR this display claims to support HDR But as far as we're concerned it only kind of does to really give you the HDR effect any display technology with a backlight needs full array local dimming and a peak brightness of a thousand nits This puppy can hit peaks of 600 nits with typical brightness in the 250 to 350 range Which will enhance the look of the few games out there that support HDR But buyer beware because these HD aren't monitors are on the rise Leading us then to the CHG 90s biggest weak point the resolution. It's 3840 by 1080 So compared to 16 by 9 4k it is half as many pixels making it easier to drive for your graphics card But also it's huge and only half the number of pixels So at this size you're only getting about 80 pixels per inch the same as a 34 inch 2560 by 1080 ultra-wide at a third of this one's price now to be clear It's not unusable. It just hurts the otherwise futuristic experience It's like it's like being in a self-driving electric car and going to roll down the window and being like Really? Really windows that go like this not like this But I'm not blaming Samsung for any of that because they're limited by what can be done today With the HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.3 or 1.4 standards over a single cable So then there are two questions that we have to answer in our conclusion One is super ultra-wide something that deserves to exist Well, I would say as long as your desk and the stand are sturdy enough. We're giving it the thumbs up And number two should you buy this monitor? That one's a little tougher It's got a high quality VA panel that's color calibrated right out of the box and offers a gaming and productivity Experience that's unlike anything else available today but The HDMI 2.1 spec is already out So unless the timing and the price of the chd90 line up perfectly with your upgrade cycle and your budget and You really need something today. It might be worth waiting to see how Samsung's competitors Super ultra widen the selection in the coming months Mastrops back with another simple deal on a Complicately named product.
