I look at the the monitor in the video and go all like:"Damn, that's black.... wish my monitor was like that". Then I come to the sudden realisation that the video plays on my monitor. Biggest derp of the year so far

+Lorvald He's the monitor whisperer.
lol
and here i am with my 15" 768p laptop display......
omg i hate those cheap displays. Most are tn panel aswell. Ive used 2 laptops with those screens. Why the weird res. Always 1366x768. It is basically 720p. Except 720p content will look blurry on it. I'm so glad i ditched those years ago.
ElitePotato8 That's why I spent the extra money to buy a MacBook Pro and installed Win7 on it because I'm tired of the low quality laptops the PC manufacturers are putting out there! When will they learn there is a market for high quality, brilliant looking displays on a full-size laptop?!?!
GeniusSteven I agree apple make some of the best laptops and displays, however there are also very good quality pc's also with sometimes even better displays. But apple is always a safe choice
Kawaii_mlg8 Please, name one that has better display than Apple. I know I haven't seen one yet! Mobile phones/tablets doesn't count! I'm talking 15"+ laptops.

Hey Linus, think it's time for an updated video on curved monitors. I'm in the market for a new monitor, been 6 years since I've had one and I need good reviews.
I'd pay to listen to Linus read an audio book in that voice
Oh baby.

I am planning to buy 27'" computer monitor. I work on PPTs, Excel sheets and Autocad. . Please suggest whether I should go for Flat or Curved.
it depends, if you are a designer or programmer probably flat. I prefer straight damn lines, instead of screen distortions. But if you are a gamer, probably curved. It gives you fewer reflections and overall a better field of view.
REALLY? no one is gonna ask what happened at 0:17
phuck yo opinions right?!?! i was like wtf just happened?!
Are you talking about when he like "cut himself off/just abruptly ended his story mid-word?"
If so, it happened for me at 0:19/0:20 lol
And I am very curious at to what the fuck that was about myself...
triple 80" 8k projectors all the way m8
also Curved at 144Hz, with 1ms response time, in 3D, with a touch screen, with non-existent bezels.
Asus should start making HDTVs...
And IPS of course
Tom Mo the other ones are possible, yours' is not, getrekt m9
Reclan Anderson You're trying to hard.
3:55 right monitor screen tearing :(
ye, lg one
lol how dafuq did you spot that
No AMD Card
+Sven Engels i'm that kind of gamer. I pay attention :p
I guess no one would buy it now? ;O
I've built a gaming pc recently but the one thing I've left out is a monitor because nothing fits the bill right now. I want a 1440p minimum, gsync (preferred), 1ms, 120hz+, that is also 21:9 with a good panel. Full adjustability would be a bonus too. Nothing seems to even come close.
Why does the first half of this video feel like a fever dream
give me a 16k, 72" monitor that is a touchscreen please, 144hz(and a pc to run it)
I wish😂
You mean 150"
maybe in the future :0
just buy a room with 3 walls and use a big ass OLED TV as fourth wall
Why would you want a touch screen? All that does is attract fingerprints and makes your shoulder sore.
Did linus have a stroke in the intro?
One of the features I'd like for a productivity monitory is portrait mode. Don't think I'll find that in a curved monitory (don't think I'd want it either).
you can get addons for browsers like chrome to watch youtube in ultrawide, it basically cuts off the bottow and top of the screen
Did you see when linus said off, both displays went black
He's obviously psychic.
I've owned both the LG #34UC97 and #34UM95 - Side by side I did indeed prefer the flat for work (photo editing) and the curved for play and movies. Both are great but the curved affect gave me the illusion that landscape photos and stuff I was working on were curved when in fact they were straight - I did not like that aspect.
On top of that, the 34UM95 has a build in LUT so calibrations are stored inside the monitor as opposed to all other 34" ultrawides out now that store it on the PC or Mac via an icc colour profile that applies the LUT on the GFX card.
Why is an onboard LUT useful for such a versatile monitor? It means you can connect up multiple sources like other computers and games consoles and bluray players and you will benefit from having accurate colours so your movies and games will be enjoyed how the creators intended.
Just my two pence!
I definitely wish I could pick up that Samsung S34E790C but being a teacher, I'll never have the income to obtain it. It would easily be the best setup for everything I do though. I just hope that 34 21:9 monitors become a regular thing now.
NiGHTSChao689 a teacher with that name and profile pic? Or is this your kid’s account?
I need to stop watching these videos. I want to buy it all, and my wallet's like "a pack of gum? Eh, i don't know."

I didn’t realize how old this video was. I was pleasantly surprised at the market nowadays
or get a LG 29" flat ultrawide (with only dual HDMI inputs). I picked one up for CAD 289 in december. So you can basically buy 2 or 3 of them for the price of 1 34"... lack of other inputs really made it much cheaper, if I wanted more inputs it would've cost me almost double. But HDMI works just fine as long as your graphics adapter supports the correct standard (I'm guessing 1.4a or greater, which is what my laptop has)
2:12 - 2:43
that made me laugh way harder thn it should^^
21-9 gaming is broken at best currently.. u shouldnt tell gamers this is good for gaming.. u should be warning them... all the older games dont support it.. and about 1/3 modern games dont support it either.. you are then forced to rely on 3rd party apps to fix the aspect ratio + hud + fov..and the guys doing them apps are just regular guys not being paid..so its very very slow.. on the rare game it does work flawlessly its brilliant.. but if your a real gamer you play all kinds of games..and usually want to play new games immediately.. avoid 21-9 for a little while.. its getting better..atm its more trouble then its worth
Most of the games i play support it.
team0blackmanner ill rephrase then..the pretend gamers who play 3 games that happen to support it already will be fine.
happy pretend gamer ?
yes the flawless widescreen is one of the 3rd party mentioned in original post.. and when it says 16-9 only or stretched..that means it doesnt work btw..so when u remove all the games from this list that dont offer real 21-9 support/hud support/fov support..your left with a very tiny list.. do uno how many games are on the PC ?? endless amounts..and u just listed a handful..some with "u need to do this" or "it stretches" or "cutscenes are wrecked" you just proved my point.. u cant argue a fact and its a fact shared by any rational 21-9 support owner (me) and the UWS community..this is why we band together and try help make games work because there not officially able to work
casperog Well the games that I MYSELF play work
team0blackmanner thats great the 3 games work for u bro.. but i wasnt being selfish.. i was warning potential gamers of the problems..so they can make an educated choice on the matter.. im glad you personally are happy with your limited selective game collection.. most 21-9 are not happy atm.. itll be a few years before we see full support from all studios
So is curved better for gaming or flat????
Linus, you said the Samsung S34E790C doesn't have vesa mount points but Samsung's website shows it does behind the adjustable stands bracket. it has a 100x100 mm vesa mount.
I want a 34 inch OLED 5160 x 2160 Ultrawide monitor with G-Sync and a 100hz refresh rate. Is that asking too much?
If youre rich nothing is.
Who wouldn't want that?
+AXLplosion People who cant run 4k
Not rich but monitor hardware is going to plateau around the 4k mark for a little while. Maybe 5-10 years or so. So the sooner it gets to what I want, the sooner I can buy and rest on it for ten years before the next hardware revolution.
now available for only a small loan of a million dollars.
I love how he described the samsung monitor at first :)))
running 3x Dell U2412Ms so 1920x1200 24'' LED IPS panels.... Got to say i love it and it does the work... Im mostly doing Programming on it so that extra 120H pixels means a ton. and 3x of them give me the proper screen area... Atm for me this is the sweet spot.
Have looked at around 15 UA-cam videos on this subject this evening - this is by the far the best. Thanks for taking the time to produce this.
3:07 wtf happend.. lmao
🤣🤣
It’s a deep fake
Puberty
I wasn't expecting his Noire voice to be so decent.
my dream monitor setup would be custom made triple 8k 18.5:8.5 curved displays. it would look soooo damn nice. aesthetically perfect. i currently have 2 23" aoc's and a 21" aoc all ips and 1080p. so i don't have much to complain about but still. it would be nice to have an upgrade.
did anyone notice the lg was cropping the edges its not suppose to i know as i own one and last week it started cropping the sides aswell
So... GTX 1080 or curved ultrawide .... Hmm ...
I have a GTX 970, which is still a fine card. Getting a 980 at this point in time is a bit silly, considering that the 1070 is the same price, performs like a Titan X and has 8 GB of ram. My main concern is productivity (mainly programming), gaming is secondary. I have 3x1080p monitors now, but they take sooo much space.
And btw, pg279q is 16:9 and more expensive than a good ultrawide...
CLASH & BOOM WITH ME Honestly, the 970 is a bit too weak for proper 3440x1440 gsming (unless 30 fps is your thing :p), but I will be so busy next semester (120 % studies and working extra) that I probably won't have time for vide games until Vega comes out. I'll hold out for a deal on an ultrawide for a while, but will probably snatch one up before summer's at an end :)
if you have 970 definitely get a monitor first
+Eddie Ed: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I'm really getting sick of having three monitors. I'm deciding between a single ultra wide or one 32'' QHD + one 24'' 1080p on the side.
The curved Samsung sure is DAMN nice, but really...for only a 1440p at 60hz, the $1,200-$1,300+ price tag isn't worth it.
If it was a 1440p 120hz monitor, it's slightly more feasible, but even a 4K 60hz set up, would finally justify the price.
Given that there are monitors out there at 1080p, 144hz WITH GYSNC for half of this price, though aren't curved, its hard for this to be worth it.
Even more so seeing that they make 1ms response time monitors much more readily available and this one is still at the more common 5ms response time.
Which my 40inch Vizo is even at a 5ms response time, which is what I typically use for PC gaming, leaving my smaller BenQ IPS monitor for everything else.
Though I will add that the curved aspect of TV's is surprisingly interesting.
It manages to give a natural depth to content in a weird way, coupled with 4k resolution content, and things start to become a "window" into entertainment.
"Given that there are monitors out there at 1080p, 144hz WITH GYSNC for half of this price..." those aren't comparable to this monitor really at all, they're meant for entirely different purposes and different peoples. The Toyota Prius is a good car but I wouldn't recommend it to someone looking for a pickup. Besides, you can get the same refresh rates, better response time for even lower resolution and less money by going CRT (mostly sarcasm about the CRT).
You do realize that, even though the vertical pixels are 1440, the horizontal aren't 2560, but 3440, right?
3440x1440 can't possibly be more then 60hz as of now since there is no cable to run that bandwith so stop complaining about unrealistic things
I'll grab one of these 34" (this sammy is the best of them, just needs freesync) if amd improves the power efficiency (so less heat/noise and more oc) or nvidia improves SLI (SLI scaling really sucks compared to xdmaCF), hopfeully it will be amd since there already is first freesync monitor announced and guess what - it's 21:9 34"
I love my msi 970 (running 1.5ghz on stock voltage and silent) for 1920x1200 but tried two of them and it sucked so it won't do it for me on 3440x1440
HeadBassVTEC
Display Ports can't run more than 60hz at 4K resolutions?
IF there are Display Ports that can run 7680 × 4320 × 24 bpp @ 60 Hz, then there HAS to be an easy tweak to achieve 120hz @ 4K.
Stuff like firewire and Ethernet CAT 6 should be utilize for the "cables standards of the future" honestly.
Even more so seeing that the newest monitors are becoming nothing but boxes that transcode data and throw it onto the screen and with implementations like GSYNC doing a lot of the work, there shouldn't be an excuse to why we can't have those standards in the near future.
I think my comment was a bit misunderstood as well.
The problem is, the complete oddity of the cable within itself and making it a standard, wouldn't be worth it currently until HDMI is able to keep up, as let's face it...Display Port isn't a "name" companies can really make money off of right now.
Eric Durant Careful how you say 1440p... most 1440p monitors are only 2560x1440... this is 3440x1440.
Curved screens make sense because the distance from the eye to the centre of the screen is the same as to the edges as the screen.
Also, this allows you to see the pixels both at the centre and edges of the screen more face on, that is viewed directly ahead of you, rather than at an angle; as which occurs when viewing the pixels on the edges of a flat screen.
However to achieve both of the above effects fully, you have to be situated at a distance which corresponds to the focal point of the screen, which (presumably) then needs to be equivalent to the radius of the curve of the circular arc -which the curve of curved screens may not even be based upon.
But other problems arise, for example, does sitting at centre circle of a circular arc also optimise other variables?
Perhaps not, because screens of various resolutions require various viewing distances to appreciate the various maximum resolutions which our various visual acuity levels require.
Lets say they do get all of the above right with curved screens, they still need to overcome a peculiar problem associated with them: that is, of double reflections.
I've only ever viewed curved screens in stores, and that was a while ago, so I can't remember their effects when viewing from a position that feels like the centre of the arc but certainly when you look at curved screens from far away a new type of reflection emerges.
Not only do you get ordinary surface reflections like on a flat screen but you also get an additional "real image" reflection that floats around in the air front of the screen. I'm pretty sure these real reflections are also magnifications of the reflected objects which makes them an even bigger annoyments! Would have to recheck my school science books to figure it all out.
Anyhow, this makes curved screens even less suited to being used in brightly lit environments.
Furthermore, they're only really suited to the sad lonely person who lives in the dark. Because only one person can fit in the optimal viewing location.
just grabbed my Samsung S34E790C today! cant wait for it to arrive.
What i want is 4K @ 144hz with Gsync, curved.... A man can dream.
is it out yet
0:18 Pretty excited in his feh...
I would prefer to stick with 16:9 just because it fits with the content I consume, if I need more space I would just get another monitor or use a different system as backup. 1 thing I really hate though is the 4 joystick nob, why do I need to do more than 1 press just to power off??
I just got today S34E790C and its absolutly amazing!
what about a 25'' monitor with 4k 60Hz oled wrgb technology NOT CURVED...JUST FREAKING FLAT....i thing that's cheaper and would be sold out one mounth after being in the store
I would love to have an OLED monitor, my QNIX 2710 is going to be my last monitor purchase until we see OLED on monitors.
oled is the future...lg is right....but i wish to be able to choose between flat or curved
actually they already made a curved 32'' 4k monitor...and is not 5k....but 1k
.....
Last time I checked OLED or SAOLED displays were in the $20k range.
.....there is non need to say perhaps because it is sure that oled monitors are expensive BUT smaller dislpays are cheaper and instead of making 32'' 4k curved oled monitor (21:9) like lg did...someone can make instead a 25'' 4K oled flat monitor (16:9)..so it is way cheaper than the one made by lg don't you say??
So if lg's monitor is (about) 1k this monitor is gonna be (about) 500 becuase there is less technology in it don't you think?
curved monitors is love , curved monitors is life

OMG, for the same price, what would you pick, 29" curved ultrawide (95ppi) or 34" flat ultrawide?
Coming froma 23" inch, what would you do?
Inmersion curved and pixel density vs. bigger to watch movies and increase even more the productivity?
I think the ultimate setup is 2 (that's right, two) 34" ultra wide curved monitors. Gives you even more screen space than most triple monitor setups, and allows you to enjoy a fantastic gaming experience on one while still having other programs visible on the other. (Also great for MMO multiboxing). I just need to find a desk to fit them on, lol.
Obese Mozzarella could have bought that monitor if ReviewTechUSA gave his $200 black... I mean back (sorry, that black was so deep I can't stop thinking about it)
He's pretty excited and...??? What did he say?
yeah that is bugging me too
penis area
I think it was an editing error. He was saying "Pa" as in pants, but they didn't cut at the right time.
No, it's very obviously intentional, I'm guessing for the younger audience. He himself slowly stops saying it and trails off.
"He got pretty excited in his pa(nts)"
How about a 48" curved 4k (it's like 4x 24" 1080p, but with a smooth 'surround' effect and no bezels, oh and it scales 1080p @120fps really pretty too). Cool, right?
...gotta get past the PCMR mental block about "tv's" though (psst, just remember hdmi 2.0 and very low independently tested 'input lag')
My best setup for all-encompassment, is to have 2 screens, at the moment, 1 is 2.5K res and the other is 1080p, this is great because I can have the pixel perfect viewing of a 1080p monitor for my films, and my 2.5k for developing and gaming, also the multi-monitor system works well when I want my music player to always be visible, and shy of a keyboard with a built-in screen, or a 7 inch screen below my primary monitor, I can at least, see more.
You can never have enough real estate when you're developing. Try three 4K screens with one nice 1080p and you'd love that even more! :)
"he got pretty excited in his pe..."
okay? no one cares...
It looks and sounds more like he said "feh" to me, but that might just be that one verbal/visual illusion in play.
He said “pants” he got exited in his pants but it’s cut out I thought that was pretty obvious but somehow y’all missed it 😂
I'm not gonna like this comment to keep it at 69.
I bought the S34E790C and this monitor is amazing. The curve is just perfect and the picture in picture is an amazing feature.
+FeaR FuZiioN Can't decide between this and the LG 34UC87. I want the samsung because the VA panel doesnt have backlight bleed, and thats the LG's biggest con, but how is it in games? I'm never had a VA panel, and heard real world response times are kinda sluggish, whats your experience?
Jerrod Lay I personally feel it's great for gaming. Some may say its sluggish while games are running and response times aren't great but honestly I felt fine playing games on and offline. When I was playing competitive games online I didn't witness no input lag. This is a solid monitor. I think it will be a great purchase Jerrod Lay
FeaR FuZiioN sweet, thanks for your input, I think this tops my list of monitors, just need to wait on a good sale now! :p
+FeaR FuZiioN ah one more question, is the bezel plastic or is it metal of some sort?
Jerrod Lay I believe it metal.
Do you gents and ladies think manufacturers will consider making curved monitors greater than 34 inches? I'm not refering to a 35" but more along 42" or greater while still maintaining the 21:9 aspect ratio.
Just had the new 1500R CF971 delivered yesterday, curve does take a small amount of time to get used to but I have to hand it to Samsung this is really cool in use and operation! Oh did I forget to mention NO backlight bleed! Thank the maker! (Asus 34PQ had to go back early last year because of this) ps using a gtx 980ti with this free sync Samsung and 100hz native is epic combo ;)
I'm going to be buying this but not for myself.
I'm going to buy it for my friend. He has been editing my videos for going on 3 years now for no pay and I owe him. I'm finally out of school and can get a job now so I'm gonna get him this when I can just because it's so ridiculous.
He doesn't know, and I'm not afraid to leave this comment because he doesn't watch NCIX. Mwahahahahahahaha
JsdMaNintendo Did you get him one?
Who says romance is dead?
Bromance! (*≧∀≦)
Did you ever get him the monitor?
Who is here in 2021
VA panels rock.
Its funny how people dismissed them somehow
If you ever used the BenQ 27" VA's you will be convinced.
no ghosting its 4ms gtg but overall its great for lag i see no ghosting at all on em.
The Colors are great vs TN aka more comparable to IPS but maybe not quite at great but close imho.
No they dont do 120hz
neither does IPS
and they usually are 1080p pannels
but if you want a 1080p with good colors compairable to ips with good response times @ a cheap as dirt price VA is the way to roll .
I bought one awhile ago i liked it so much i bought 2 for work and use them in duals
I have the LG 34UC97 and i get a odd ripple that looks like screen tearing from top to bottom in the middle of the screen, I am guessing its due to the bonding of two screens together or some thing.
Vsync fixes normal tearing but does not help this problem at all, LG is just giving me the run around.
I love my curved monitor
a single 72 inch ultra-wide curved monitor.
I have 3 of them!
+MR.Monster I have 24 of them around me forming a circle, and I have a retractable floor with swiveling throne in the middle that raised up into my magical monitor cylinder. Or I could just buy an oculus rift. But fuck that.
Oliwolf78 NICE man! Having that is like my dream setup!
I'm looking at one of these for my graphic design monitor. Just a bit concerned that e.g in photoshop or indesign a shape may not look straight or a curve may appear too curved? Which would be no good at all. Any one used one for graphic design?
+ed goodacre design I'm considering an ultrawide and this has been a concern of mine as well--I use 3d modelling software. Can I ask, what decision did you make regarding curved/flat ultrawides?
Contrast of the S34E790C is around 2100:1 that is twice as much as the LG but there are a lot of VA monitors and Televisions out there that have deeper blacks.
Phillips have a Monitor which makes 7000:1.
+FrogsterLP how blacker can we get, dang
I like my monitors like I like my women...
ultra wide?
Alvaro Ramon Martinez Gonzalez t h i c c
you don't have any?
black?
not too bright with a high pitched whine?
How come the LG display looks so much richer? I thought VA panels were supposed to have superior contrast ratios in exchange for viewing angles
curved monitors are good if you have more than one side by side. I am a mechanical drafter and I use 2 27" side by side. I prefer 2 because I can open pdfs on one and design on the other. .having one large display I can't separate the programs as easy without manually resizing the pages. I feel two smaller screens are easier for multitasking
what ya need to try is a curved on each side, with a square one in the middle.. dunno how a video card would handle that wide of a desktop, but it might look fantastic for a game or driving sim if the video cards could deal with it..
Hy! Please tell me what to choose!? LG 34UC97 or Samsung S34E790C I can't find a rewiev side by side those two curved. What would be nice to watch. Or maybe Dell U3415W? Have a headache already :( HELP!
...and here I am still using my Samsung T27A950...which I have clearly been taking for granted these past 4 years!
I agree that curved monitors are viable, but I don't agree that large curved TV screens should be a thing because not everyone will be in the best position to view the screen.
Another note, how long before they make screens that are not only curved in the horizontal axis, but also the vertical axis?
I'd like to try two of the curved ones above each other
I'm currently running 2x 27", 1440p, monitors. One of them are in portrait mode and the other one's in landscape. I think I've found a pretty neat sweet spot.
Hey so how about people the photo edit.... Does the curved monitor ruin lens correction and allignment? Given u want to make images straight and parallel. Would the curved monitors ruin photo editing?
Ok guys I need help....do I get the Samsung S34E790C or the LG34UC97?
Well you posted this 2 months ago. So what did you get and how do you like it? I'm curious, as I'm looking to get one now
+Bosk Dżelski i ended up getting a 34uc98 and its great
That Samsung is looking pretty good right now, however if only Netflix offered content in 1440p to go along with 4k.
I'm probably going to wait for LG to come out with a 34" curved with an OLED panel though.
I'm currently using a single 27" BenQ GW2760S. I've been tempted to get a Ultra wide or a higher refresh rate monitor but honestly I've been gaming less and less lately so not sure it's even worth it.
Super amateurish question here, but can you actually watch 3d movies or play games in 3d, with this Samsung? I don't really do either a lot, but it would be cool to know (as somebody who doesn't own a tv, it would be obviously nice, if one monitor could "do it all")
I have the Samsung curved model, and its insane. The colors are incomparable to other screens that i had. A LG then a Asus with a 1ms response time. Since i got this beauty i cant go back to anything that i had before. Also my head started to hurt from my eyes a while back , its sayd that you calculate a lot of distance from your eyes to the middle of the screen and that makes your eyes/head hurt. with the curved screen i dont have this problem anymore as it fits into my sight perfectly.
Currently using a 40" TV, having a hard time pulling the trigger on a 34" ultrawide, I wish you could get ultrawides just a little bit bigger.
If you've experienced the Vive or Rift VR HDM you'd want a curved monitor and that's what I'll be getting next... the con is it's not curved enough.. though better than those 2 border lines of 3 monitors setup imo.
I am an avid fight sim addict. I am not sure if that monitor would be as good as 3 smaller monitors. I like the ability to have each monitor display a section of the cockpit. Can this monitor be configured to show a wide angle of the cockpit and sides??
thanks
i have a 27 inch 16*9 monitor and would love to have and 34 inch 21*9
by its side but what would be better a flat or curved monitor for that setup
21:9 si nothing for me, I couldnt fit 2 24" monitors next to it. I'm currently on 1x 27" 1440p and 2x 24" 1080p and I need even moahr space.
Not enough content and regardless of productivity BAD for photo editing. BUT - I still want one ... I might mount it above me existing one and build a beast to run them both.
how come regular gaming monitors tn or ips have bleed to them when my asus touch screen ips display laptop has zero bleed and looks fantastic? why can they not build these panels with quality?
Are the images in the curved monitor distorted, making it hard to aim? If so, do you have to get used to it? Or is it personal preference, some people are better at aiming with curved monitors and some are better with flat monitors?
I enjoy editing photos, watching it on a crisp high res screen. Im using Apple MBP at the moment. However, I'm thinking of getting a PC desktop. At the same time I thoroughly enjoy gaming since I quit drinking, hehe. So.... What would be a good choice for a wide curved monitor offering good image quality and gaming experience. Does that monitor exist?
I would love to see a side by side comparison of the Samsung S34E790C, LG34UC97, and Dell U3415W. Any chance of that happening anytime soon?
So Linus. LG 34UC97 or S34E790C?
This monitor is tempting. I just sent back one of those Acer predators w/Gsync. It had the worst backlight bleed I've ever seen (looked like Pac-Man was eating my screen from one side). Even without that, the picture was fuzzy because of the AG coating and Gsync didn't feel that much better then what I can do with Adaptive Vsync, fps limiting, settings, and a high-end GPU.
For $800 on that monitor I felt like I was using a budget option. I'm thinking I want three things, Glossy, VA, and Ultrawide. I have a BenQ 144Hz that I can pull out if I really need high refresh rate, but, in most games I can live without it... I want picture quality. It seems like gaming monitors and PQ don't go hand and hand.
If only they had some good, Glossy, VA gaming monitors I'd jump on it. Sadly it seems like everyone wants IPS (backlight bleed/Low contrast) and AG coating (Looks terrible once you've used a Glossy screen).
Any tips for connecting my 19" coby tv screen 720p to my laptop? It says use VGA but my laptop has no VGA. They both have hdmi but I don't know what resolution to use. The lowest on this laptop is to tall and to thin
Should I buy a 4K TV like the LG 40UB800V or is a second monitor better for more space on my desktop? Or shoud I wait until the prices of the 32" 4K Monitors drop? My little 24" monitor with 1080p is actually a bit so litte.
Is the 21:9 IPS monitors good for photoshop/photo editing? I have a wacom tablet with 16:9 aspect ratio. But i can crop the surface anyway i want to. is 2560x1080 too low? Will it feel "cramped" to work on?
I'm in the market for a 27 inch 144 hz monitor, preferably with g-sync...but I want to know if 120 or 144 hz (w/g-sync?) is coming to ultra widescreen 34" monitors? Should I wait?
Is it possible to make a triple monitor setup with 3 curved monitors? What would it look like?
Check out Lew's "My Ultimate Setup" from UnboxTherapy.
I want 5 monitors. 2 curved BUT not Ultrawide and 3 flat monitors. I don't do games so vertical space is crucial. Will run them on a single graphics card. The height should be the same on all monitors. Anything from 29-40" will do for me. Can you assist?
I honestly would love a 3 screen curved setup, I feel like the Emerson would be amazing while gaming, and while movies wouldn't be much of a hit on it, things like adobe premiere and Photoshop would be so nice to use on 3 4k screens, you would have so many options on where to move things around that suits you best.
These are exactly the monitors that I want as 2/3 monitor setups get irritating with the bezels. It's also useful for my work as a sound designer having multi tracks on one side with plugins on the other without alt-tabing.
The only set back is the price. Damn, it costs almost as much as the rig I'm using. i5 SB, GTX970, etc.
