      My desk is deep enough to support the monitor's size and after a brief adjustment window, I found that this is a great monitor for Rainbow Six Siege which also doesn't support multiple cameras.
      If your desk doesn't have 2 feet of clearance, you'd definitely be better off getting a 34 inch monitor instead.

      @@ravencloud6507 That's outdated if it doesn't have at least 4k or greater. Since today they are already rolling out monitors that are 4k to even 5k with along the best quality viewing as possible. Yeah this monitor is far too narrow. Specially for people who comes from a screen that are 32inch long. Looks like this monitor is the equivalent of 2 monitors together of a 27 inch so it is a BIG differences between a 27 vs a 32. I search around but not much in the market with super stretch monitors in good brands that are at least taller screens rather then narrow screens. Specially if you want it to be super stretch. When you search around such as Samsung.. Lg for monitors like that and you look at the specs how tall and how small and how narrow the screen are.. Most official websites gives faults or wrong measurements which makes no sense. Rather confusing.

Its now early 2019 and both LG and Phillips have just released a 49" in 5120 x 1440, a step up over the Samsung's 3840 x 1080. But when you calculate costs it's time to consider if VR goggles would be the better way to go if using for gaming or simulation purposes.

    Hey so @ 4:00 this is my main use, I love this monitor but... when running a game in 16:9 like shown here, there is a black space on the bottom of the OBS preview screen that I cant seem to correct. You can see that Linus is having the same issue in this video, does anyone have any idea how to fix this kind of thing?

      But then a VR headset can do everything without taking so much space, plus you can wear a headset on one of those hydraulic chairs just fine while counting one of these screens on it would be a nightmare.
      Just wait for an 8k 60+fps headset that gives you enough of a FOV to simulate how much you would be able to see with a helmet on and you're set without needing to buy a new desk or even house

      Viper007Bond not in practice, I played project cars with Vr and in a 21:9 ultra wide for hours and definitely ultra wide was way better, I think Vr is still crawling like a baby, one day will stand up. For more contradictory that may look like, the ultra wide seems to have more resolution than Vr, this really upsets me. I played with HTC vive, rift and PS Vr. (sry my English)

    • @cdgonepotatoes4219
      @cdgonepotatoes4219 6 років тому +3

      of course racing in VR still isn't a thing for many and won't be for a while, but if I want to use a hydraulic chair I'm not gonna trust even the sturdiest of supports to keep such a behemoth of a screen strapped on the setup without fear of having it fall on me one day or another. VR is still a bit too far from being the way to go for driving games in general but in this specific aspect it's just far more desireable on a mechanical standpoint.

      SAMSUNG have already done it (back in 2018 if memory serves me right) and it makes the one Linus has reviewed look like its baby brother/sister. Say hello to the TEN FOOT WIDE (10 feet) MODULAR TV aka, THE WALL. This idea is not new as various companies' have been working to develop it for many, many, many years. A close idea you can get of it are the screens you see at the concerts you go to (they took a long time to develop those, even though the idea had been thought of many years beforehand). The Samsung idea will be okay for business uses -IMHO- but with the gaming use at home will be much, MUCH better with Virtual Reality home technology!
