    I literally just bought this monitor 2 days ago. It was delivered today. I’ll set it up later. I got it at a reduced price (£700 cheaper than normal price) so it was a no brainer.
    People asking about desk arms. I have ordered a ‘Bewiser 57’ monitor arm’ off amazon. Cost me around £200.
    Also, people asking about size of desks. If you are using the stand, I believe the stand is around 80cm wide and around 45cm depth.
    I plan to do a video on the monitor at some point.

    Simply a superb monitor. Recommend 1m deep desk and software Windows FancyZones (using PowerToys). USB C is the main miss but use Caldigit TB4 anyway). Also would like for the more advanced use cases more DDC commands so not to use the nipple to adjust. Could then use StreamDeck to adjust PiP/PBP. DDC only controls main display or left hand display. Not getting an input single issues using work surface pro (via Caldigit TB4), Mac Mini and a Windows PC. I can diplay one or all 3 in any art of the screen.

    Interesting monitor, glad to see screen sizes are still going up. But what I don't like about these types of monitors is the lack in vertical height so I've been using 50 inch tv's for a while (with a small 27 inch vertical monitor as a second screen) and they are a better fit for me. Pity they don't make curved tv's anymore, I had one previously and that was really nice. The lower ppi doesn't bother me although I wouldn't mind going to 8K if it was both available and affordable.

      If you sit close to the monitor as I am (at about 60 cm viewing distance) I think you'll be fine running at the native resolution. Anything beyond that and text and UI elements will probably appear too small. The next available resolution in MacOS will nerf the monitor down to 3840x1080, so that's not really an option unfortunately. Would have been great to see some more flexibility in terms of resolution and scaling options in MacOS.

    Hi Niklas, thanks for your review in which you confirm my findings after using this monitor since last December.
    I'm also using the Bewiser S1020 monitor arm which is similar to the one you're using.
    Couple of questions:
    - at aroud 7 minutes in the review you are using the Macbook as the only device, what resolution are you using? I find the 7680x2160 nice but it makes everything so small to read
    - how did you manage not to use the build-in KVM and work with one keyboard and mouse with two devices attached?
    - are the speakers on your desk wireless (and which brand)? If not, how did you manage the wires not to be visible between them

      Hi Patrick!
      Thanks for watching!
      I'm running it at the full native resolution (7680x2160) when connected solely to my M2 Pro MacBook Pro. The text is definitely small, but since I have a relatively shallow desk at 60 cm-which means I sit close to the screen-I find it just about perfect. However, I can see how the text might appear quite tiny if you’re sitting a bit farther away from the screen.
      As for the keyboard and mouse, I’m using the Logitech MX Keys Mini keyboard and the Logitech MX Master 3S mouse. Both support up to three separate Bluetooth devices, which I can switch between with just the press of a button on the keyboard/mouse. So it’s almost as seamless as using the built-in KVM switch.
      The speakers are the Creative Pebble V3. They’re small, inexpensive, and get the job done, but they’re really nothing special. I’ve hidden the cable between them behind and under my desk, which actually makes them barely visible as I have the speakers placed very close to the edge of my desktop.

    I kinda disagree on 32:9 for gaming point's. (I own G93SC for 3 months now)
    - competitive play, easily better than 16:9, you simply see every corner when you enter any room, because FOV is wider you can take way more angles than before. - PRO players don't use it because they have contracts with usually BenQ wich makes only 24 TN esports panels, so there's no point using anything else, if on tournament you will be using BenQ.
    Open world games benefit insanely from 32:9, first person, third person doesn't matter it's two steps above 16:9. You can finally see scale of world you are in.
    I think most of your complaints come from wrong sitting position. Your eyes level shouldn't be on level of top of your monitor, instead it should be ~10cm obove center of the screen. Old ergonomic pics didn't account on the size of the monitor's we have today.
    (They are also wrong on the table position btw - it should be that low that pretty much touches your legs, so your hand can move freely)

      Regarding your questions about Picture-by-Picture (PbP): My Windows work laptop connects through one HDMI 2.0 port and one DisplayPort 1.4 port via a USB-C docking station. My personal MacBook Pro M2 Pro connects through an HDMI 2.1 port. In this setup, my Windows laptop fills the center 16:9 screen at 4K resolution (3840x2160), while the side sections for both laptops are each 1920x2160, giving them that 8:9 aspect ratio.
      Since my work laptop is limited to HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4, I’m stuck at 60Hz on both the 16:9 4K screen and the 1920x2160 side screens when using this layout. However, if I switch it up and display my MacBook Pro on the center 16:9 screen, the side screens connected to my work laptop behave differently: the DisplayPort-connected screen can run at 120Hz in 1920x2160 resolution, while the HDMI 2.0-connected screen is still capped at 60Hz. The MacBook Pro M2 Pro, with its HDMI 2.1 port, can handle 120Hz no matter if I’m using PiP or just displaying one screen at full resolution (7680x2160).
      I hope that answered your questions :)

      You must have incredible vision to be able to read 2160 on a screen that height. Even with reading glasses, I max out at 1890 on a 32" display, so I'm hoping to achieve 1800 on a 57" display (same physical height as a 32") by flexibly scaling the Mac's resolution using BetterDisplay (might step down to 60hz as a result).
      I'm also hoping to achieve a 60/40 PBP (Mac/Windows). The Samsung manual says 4:3 is an option when "PC/AV Mode is set to AV" so that would be 55/45 but the res seems limited to 1080 or 2160 (as you're using it at 2160). BTW you may be able to bump the work laptop's RR to 120hz in the graphics card settings.

      Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it :) My desk is 186 cm (73.2 inches) wide and 60 cm (23.6 inches) deep (IKEA Karlby worktop). As for the monitor arm, it's one that I purchased from maxgaming.com and it's actually really stable. I think it’s their own proprietary brand. You can check it out here: www.maxgaming.com/en/latest-monitors-accessories/super-heavy-duty-monitor-stand-27kg-17-57-1-monitor
      I’m not sure if it can be purchased outside of the EU from them, though. At least, I wasn't able to find this particular arm in their webshop when switching from EU to International.

      Here for the same question, curious about the used monitor arm, since hardly any can handle the weight. I suspect the size and steep curve also causes the center of gravity to be a bit in front of the monitor and this causes most arm mounts to tilt forward, from the monitor attachment joint. Few arms are designed to handle this.

    • @plejground
      @plejground  Місяць тому +1

    Does it hurt your eyes cause of the backlight? I hover an lcd next to my OLED and the lcd just outs out so much light all the time, it’s rough to put up with at night.

    • @plejground
      @plejground  Місяць тому

      Yes, I do experience eye strain from time to time and usually have the brightness set to around 40% of max brightness. For work, I do occasionally use the built in eye save mode and set it to low. It kind of kills the contrast and overall viewing experience, but it also removes a lot of blue light and takes away the eye strain immediately in my experience - so it's definitely handy for longer work sessions that doesn't require color accuracy.
      And yes - I my neck would definitely appreciate a deeper desk :)

But personally, I do actually think that without the aggressive curve, there would be a big risk of ergonomic issues for many people as it would force you to lean to the sides in order to read what's on the edges of the screen. At least that's my experience from using flat ultrawides in the past.
