I have a suggestion. I'm an Odyssey G9 49" user and a MacBook Pro user as well (I have both Intel I9 and a M1 versions). When you mentioned "60Hz" it lit a yellow light. you are using a low-speed Usb-C cable FOR SURE. I've spent some money on dozens of different cables until I got 5120 x 1440 at **120Hz** (higher than you!). So maybe you do can take the full glory out of it if you buy the right high-end cable. Please give it a try and hopefully you can come with another video specifically over the MacBook experience! Cheers and great vid!

Have you tried using betterdisplay for scaling? I managed to get custom resolutions between 5140x1440 and 7680x2160 working with 120hz with my m2 pro macbook. Currently running it at 6080x1710 and 120hz. The trick was to use displayport 1.4 instead of HDMI 2.1 and create a virtual display with betterdisplay and mirror it to the G9 + creating custom refresh rates for the virtual display. I know m2 and m1 are different when it comes to external display support, but you should at least be able to run it at higher resolutions at 60hz?

I love your honest review. I am also wanting this monitor for the same use! I am not a gamer, but want a huge monitor for multitasking! There are so many reviews about gaming, but not about practical usage.

Best review I've seen so far in terms of how I would be using it. Thanks!

Thanks for this review, NEEDED IT! My use is productivity...

Nice review. I am on the fence about this monitor. I am currently using an old 32" 4K Lenovo display which I only recently switched out form the Samsung 49" Neo G9. Like you, I have a Hexcal Studio desk stand, so it was helpful to see the relative width of the 57" monitor relative to the Hexcal stand. When using the 49" Neo G9, I had to place my speakers far apart and toe them in to get better spatial sound, and switching to a 32" monitor, I'm able to place my speakers much closer together which has drastically improved the sound. I am concerned about the 57" forcing me to place the speakers even further apart, and to be honest, this is my biggest concern. Right now, I am resigned to waiting for the new batch of 32" OLED's due out in 2024, but I am severely tempted to just pull the trigger on the 57"... decisions decisions

Great video! I just picked up this same monitor and love it! Could you share what light bar you are using? Thanks!

Thanks for the information on the monitor. You answers alot of my prior questions. The only one remaining is when Model if light bar are you currently using that matches the radius of the screen? All I am finding is weird straight ones or multiple piece ones.

If you're sharing for work you most likely use Teams, so you can just share the one window rather than the whole screen which may solve that issue.

Thanks Jesse. Very informative

I still can't get over how short this form factor is. I will stick to my 55" OLED, which I have ergonomically wall mounted with a cantilevered keyboard arm that lets me adjust the distance I sit from it also. And it is also able to be run at 4k 120Hz with current hardware.

This was indeed very usefull! Thank you. The color fringing and the risk of burn is the only thing keeping me away from the Oled G9, so it was good to get the less optimal areas of the miniled model. With a 90/10 work/game ratio use, the strong curve and the viewing angle is a bit of a showstopper for me unfortunately. Already have a Samsung 49" 5120*1440 VA panel and it seem it doesnt give that much af an visual upgrade with miniled - I am sure this is some, but not as much as Oled. Couldnt run this full resolution anyway, until I upgrade my other hardware. When that day comes, I am sure there have been some optimizations in both Miniled and Oled.

Excellent productivity review as I no longer play video games as much. What is the arm you're using?

For screen sharing, you can plug two cables from your computer to two inputs in the monitor and use the PIP mode, so it will understand as two screens, then share one of them only....

Thank you so much for this amazing review, i wanted to purchase this for profit its, ie to replace my triple monitor setup. Have you tried to manually change the resolution to 8k on osx using quick res? Ps have you tried a usb4 -> display port 2.1 cable, or did you connect via the hdmi?

I bought the 49” Samsung OLED widescreen monitor and as much as I love it, I think it’s a bit too small top to bottom so 57” seems perfect and in several years I’ll upgrade. Two reasons I didn’t get the 57” model are it’s not OLED and it’s still well over $2K in US.

Hi, Great vid. Question; what GPU setups have you tried==> I run a Samsung q9 and an iiyama gb3266 in a dual monitor setup with an aggregate resolution of 7680 by 1440 driven by an AMD Radeon VII (a pretty old GPU) so I am a bit surprised when you say you've been unable to run at full resolution??

Can I ask what lights you have stuck to the back for the back lighting?

For sharing screen on zoom or google meet, you can just share a "portion of screen" or a specific window. It solves this issue for me.

I think Samsung and LG are both taking their time to savor how much improvements they could make after this products, they're gleaning more data about it, I think we'll see LG come out with another huge ones, even bigger than this one, I'll be glad to get one 86 inch 32:10 type of monitor with 6K or 8K resolution myself...

Any chance you can go over the KVM feature in depth? Like how quick it is to switch, what usb does it work with? I.E. a hub to get more USB devices? or just Keyboard/Mouse?

I'd love to see the next version or two of these. Make it OLED with upcoming better subpixel arrangement and spacing, BRIGHT, great cooling, tighter curve, DP2.1, and the vertical height of a 16:9 32inch monitor. 800R might still take a lot of desk width, so maybe something like 600R would be about right. That might be worse for productivity, but it'd be amazing for sims...if there's a gpu that can drive it well. That'd be endgame gaming monitor for me. This is a step in the right direction though, but for now I'll stick with a LG 45 Ultragear.

On any macbookpro you can use the multipic mode to set up two 4k 60hz screens next to each other. This give you an 8k screen with some drawbacks, but alleviates the screensharing problems. Also good to note that the 'curved screen' is actually straight at the ends .. like all 'curved screens'..

HI, can you elaborate on the sharing of screens? If I need to make a Zoom demo of my software, can I share just the window? Does it work like that or can you have sections and share a section so you can drag other windows into that section like on a monitor? I have four monitors currently and was hoping to eliminate them, all with this 57" or the 49"

Good to see a creator centric view of this monitor. The comment re sharing screens on things like zoom calls is an interesting observation, I’d not considered that previously. Is there no work around for that! Eg, create a smaller section of the monitor that is a more normal size/resolution that most folk would have and just share that? I’m sure what I’ve seen elsewhere was suggesting that this monitor is very flexible with the way you can divide the screen up.

There's a side by side mode where it acts as 2 monitors... side by side. Why no one uses it and then complains about not having it I don't understand. You just plug a second cable in and then hit a hotkey and it swaps between side by side and full screen in a couple seconds. Outside that, most screen sharing lets you pick program windows to share, selected screen area, or monitors instead of trying to show all of your monitors at once. It's a super dumb complaint with easy, obvious solutions. The fact he said a guy sold him one because he couldn't figure out screen sharing is ludicrous.

Did you try to use dual output from the MacBook to run the screen as dual screens, and by doing that reach the full resolution? (simulate 2 screens and run them in half width resolution) Let us know if it works! It works well on older macbooks to newer screens. Just using 2 cables.

As far as the video playback not removing the black bars when you go fullscreen - that video had the subtitled burned into the bottom bar. The video stream resolution was 16:9, that's not going to magically make the monitor itself remove the bars.

excellent review

Is the monitor just sitting on a monitor stand or is there an arm attached at the back?

according to specs, no. full res should work but only at 60hz.

Man, I know investing in a nice monitor is a good thing, but seeing you use it as the same resolution as the 49" at $1,300 less hurt me a little. haha I'm still a fan of IPS, so I'd buy this in a heartbeat if it were a 144Hz IPS panel with G-Sync. Like you, I'd use it more for productivity and video editing. I went from an AW3420DW (3440x1440) to a 42" LG C2 and while OLED is amazing and the vertical resolution made video editing so nice, I just wasn't comfortable, so I'm now on a 38" AW3821DW (3840x1600) and it's the perfect sweet spot for me and the best option for me available. I'd even "settle" for a 5K2K 40" curved 144Hz IPS G-Sync panel but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

M1, M2, M3... it doesn't matter - none of them are powerful enough and this monitor is wasted used as a second display for a Mac.

Screen sharing is not that bad. If you're not just sharing a single app or window, Zoom allows sharing a freely adjustable "screen area". I have the 38" Alienware ultrawide, and when I share my screen I just share an area that's roughly 75% of the full width.

This sounds like an ultimate productivity display. Hopefully they don't change it to OLED otherwise it would be destroyed relatively quickly in productivity use case. RTINGS runs a few OLED ultrawides (21:9) and their are getting some major burn in. Apparently if your content in full screen only displays at center (e.g. as 16:9) that causes it more burn in (as it drives that part of monitor more brighter). Mini-LED gives this a chance to survive longer (and you want that for this price).

32:9 screen sharing is really a pain in the *ss. My workaround was to share a single window, which size was a normal 16:9, so others could see better, but its not a perfect fix. The M1 mac not supporting this resolution is a surprise, I never heard anyone talking about this, thank you mentioning it! I have M1 max, and it doesn't support it... there is a workaround though, using it with PIP and 2 cables, but its not the same... If you wanna try it I am interested in your experiences :) It seems like M2 supports the full resolution but without hdPI, so the text will be very small...

I use the 49" Neo UW. I'm thinking about buying the 57". But 1000R is almost a bit too much for me.

Share screen using PIP. Looks normal to the remote person when the screens are split rather than sharing the entire monitor screen. Two cables from the source to the monitor.

i have a Monoprice 49" hooked up to my MBP M1 Max, along with 2- 16" panels next to laptop, using Caldigit TS4, (so 4 screens) i am so itching to upgrade to this 57", but my Monoprice cost me around $700, so having a hard time justifying the extra $$$ for this. 😞 i am an audio editor, productivity, and this is mainly for work, ZERO gaming!! what to do??

4:00 The video has black bars encoded (forced 16:9 basically). It can be beneficial because subtitles take up only the bottom black part and wont cover the image.

Good video from a user perspective, instead of regurgitating the numbers I seen 10 times already. And nice setup too. My biggest gripe with all these new 4k monitors coming out is the GPU issue. For what I want to do I need a 4090 but only the AMDs have DP 2.1 (for when I do play games). FYI it's blender, the 4090 does 2.5 to 3 times better than the 7900 XTX on all 3 blender benchmarks. I can trade off 5-10% on a few tasks but over 200% is a deal breaker. Wonder if something will go horribly wrong if I had one AMD and one Nvidia in the same system. Ugh really blows my mind. Any peripheral enthusiast could see the need for DP 2.1 coming, but somehow not a single soul at the worlds biggest graphics card company did? I can't really see an angle for them to hamstring themselves like that. The 5000 series is not due till Q4 24, but we have all these screens now and multiple 240Hz 4ks are coming Q1. The Asus 32" (matte screen so blergh) but the Alienware 32" OLED will be glossy and looks really good. Whoops ranting and going on sidequests... lol

I'm told my computer, an Icore 7 with a MSl GFORCE RTX graphics card won't run this monitor? Not enough bandwidth width. Is that true?

What monitor arm are you using?

What desk you using

There is something you could do on this that you can't do on a smaller screen. The bigger your screen, the more you can zoom out on a spreadsheet and still see the content, enabling you to see more of the sheet on your screen, at the same time. I came here because I have a single sheet spread between two 27 inch monitors, because it didn't fit on one of them.

I wish this was an OLED. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. That resolution is very compelling. I have the LG 48 Ultragear OLED and it's hard to convince myself to leave. I just don't like backlit panels anymore. Also not a big fan of curved monitors anymore. It took a while for my brain to adjust to a flat monitor again... it looked like a fishbowl for probably months before I stopped seeing it that way. Curved monitors make viewing content with someone else a poor experience, too...

Does the Vesa Wall Mount come in the box?

My question with this monitor in relation to productivity is do actually get any more reel estate compared to a 5120x1440 monitor? I know you are running that resolution because your computer cant handle full resolution. But lets say you could run that full resolution, wouldnt you have to scale it to be able to read it? It seems like you would have to scale it to what is essentially the same size as 5120x1440, which means you're basically just getting a 5120x1440 monitor with higher pixel density, and not able to actually fit more on the screen
