Most of them are doing it for a living. So they need to pump out content

Great to see a knowledgeable reviewer who actually used the product.

I’m using dual stacked 34” right now and this review helped me commit to the 57” life. Very interested to see where this goes!

A truly remarkable monitor. I'm glad you're enjoying it. You certainly need a beast to run it to its full potential though!

What a great long term review ! good work !

Thank you for this review, Im really interested in it as a software engineer who enjoys gaming.

Very informative video. I'd suggest including the size of this monitor in your title. Thanks very much for a very practical review.

When in PBP mode, do you need to install software on each computer?

Nice video! Right now the premium on larger OLED screens, I've looked mostly at TV, is huge. We'd expect that price gap to close, as things always do. However, when I compared two Samsung TVs in the store back to back running the same demo, I preferred the 8K Neo QLED over the more expensive 4K OLED right next to it. More depth perception, immersion. OLED TVs aren't ready to do productivity due with odd pixel placement for small print. No-one needs the burn in risk of OLED, especially when our taskbar is always the same in the corners.

I am looking for a monitor that I can use for work and gaming. Never used an ultra wide monitor but I have always using multiple screens. In order to play games on half the screen does the picture by picture have to be enabled? I have looked into the 49 inch OLED but I am worried about the burnin due to how much I work. Also I have read the text quality on the OLED is horrible. What is your experience with the OLED vs this monitor for work and which one would you recommend? Enjoyed the honest review!

Yeah! So that’s the main reason why I ultimately kept this. No text fringing issues, and it’s 2 4k monitors essentially instead of 2 1440p. I work more than I play, so this is a better monitor for me. But overall you would be fine with either. I used the 49 inch for pretty much a year of work, gaming and video editing and it didn’t burn in. The colors and contrast look better on oled. But for small text with my 9 to 5, I much prefer the 57 inch. For games you can either uses pbp or pip or just change the resolution in windows to 3840 x 2160.

It's a big investment as my first dedicated screen in leterally decades, but I can't shake the ideal of this 57". Seems it can do so many things so well. I'd more likely be trying sim racing which it's great for, and let's be real: lot of youtube browsing and even series binging. Thinking to get a sit/stand desk and a no-electrics treadmill, see if I can't log 3 hours of walking a day with such a setup. Some sit/stand desks can go really low, working great with a sim rig on caster wheels. All it lacks is portability to move to the side table for couch action, and skip the whole TV concept 😀

Jsyk, you can only use the monitor at its full potential of 240 hz by using DisplayPort 2.1 which is only supported by the 7000 series AMD cards.

good review bro

I just wanna send it on this but the matte coating on the screen upsets me

There's one at the pawn shop here for 500, nothing wrong with it and I'm so tempted to buy it and sell my 32" odyssey G7

I just want to know if my work laptop can be connected and used with this monitor I have a dell 7430 provided by my company

I have a basic Lenovo thinkpad my company provided and I get the full resolution at 120hz. My laptop is a bit slow though, but I’m able to get through the day just fine with it. I’m also using thunderbolt and DisplayPort.

did you use the 49 g9 oled before this for same use?

@consumertechwarehouse9381

2 ай бұрын

Yeah I did. I prefer OLED. But the larger size and higher resolution is better for productivity

great review. very useful. not a ton of detailed reviews out there. trying it out now, great for productivity. think OLED and smaller better for gaming for all the reasons you mention.

Can the Lenovo Legion 7i Pro 8th gen with Rtx 4090 handle this monitor?

Yeah. I’m using a 4090 and it handles it in desktop and creative apps like premiere and Lightroom. Gaming is a bit rough though. If you value FOS go for the 49 inch. But I’m ok with it for gaming

I wish the next gen will be oled

one detail you missed is, as of now, you'd need a 7800xt or higher to run this monitor at full resolution and at 240hz, since only displayport 2.1 can push frames at that rate and resolution. but that doesn't mean these gpus will actually play your games at 240hz.

I forgot to mention that and was kicking myself for it. I switch to 5120 x 1440 when I want 240hz. But most of the time I’m ok with 120hz. Only when I’m playing competitive games I need 240

@@consumertechwarehouse9381 yea for productivity, I think anything above 100hz is diminishing returns.

Is this monitor flickering in local dimming mode????

Yes. It flickers when local dimming is turned on. But not when off.

@BRUNOABG man I don’t think I would pay $4000 for a 4k Oled version of this. I think $2500 is the max I’ll pay and that’s only because this is essentially 2 monitors combined

If you could get this new from Samsung for $1499 would you do it? That is my debate.

@consumertechwarehouse9381

3 ай бұрын

Yeah. 2 equivalent 32 inch 4k monitors would cost more and it’s better having it as one ultra wide screen than dealing with dual monitor setup. I think it’s worth it if you will get a lot out of it.

Yes I would.. I just got mine yesterday I haven’t unboxed it yet but I’m excited to get it to use

Its a bit thin.

I have this. Did you ever have it get stuck in a local dimming faze per say. Like dark spots from previous screen? I had amazon send me another one because i thought it was broken lol. ended up doing the firmware update and its ok. also...i notice if you like the dynamic hdr tone mapping it will need turned off and on every reboot cause it dont stay on. Also sadly the, my, 4090 can't utilize 240hz at 4k because it don't have DP 2.1... Also....it's not OLED sadly. I should have waited for the OLED version which I'm sure is coming! Overall tho...it's a very good monitor for Sim racing. My use case.

No I’m not having issues with local dimming issues. I actually didn’t even update the firmware yet. Your first must have been a dud. But yeah, unfortunately only AMD desktop GPUs support display port 2.1. And I agree I wish it was oled. But I’m still using it as my only monitor because there’s nothing else like it right now. Hoping for an OLED version myself.

Did your monitor come with a protective film on the screen?
