Samsung Super UltraWide 120hz 49" 5120 x 1440 Monitor?

[Cassius101]

I suppose 5120x1440 would basically be the 4k equivalent for the 32:9 aspect ratio.

It does not say anything about this supposed monitor in recent news. Perhaps this monitor is not coming out for a while. Maybe it will be released Q1 2019 when the 20 series GPU's have already been out for a while.

I'm really not a fan of VA, but that monitor could be quite slick.

Actually I believe it would be the 32:9 aspect ratio of 1440p, not 4k (2160p).


Since 1080p 32:9 was 3840x1080
1440p 32:9 being 5120x1440
4k 32:9 ends up at 7680x2160

I'm personally more interested in the 34" 21:9 5120x2160 from LG

I initially thought 5120x1440 would be the 32:9 equivalent for 4k, this is before I researched this and it seems others agree with me.

No, not quite. It's 3840x1080, spec for 4k is 3840x2160. A 4K equivalent 32:9 would be 7680x2160, and unfortunately that's a lot of pixels to push. 16,588,800 pixels to be precise. Double the amount of pixels compared to 4k for GPUs to push.

Your math is wrong, but the logic behind it is understandable.

A 32:9 4K monitor would have a resolution of 5120 x 1440 (by conventional standards).

4K is loose slang for a roughly 4000 pixel wide 16:9 monitor. Applying the same logic to an entirely other aspect ratio will yield the "incorrect" results you posted.

A better way to understand it is to look at the total number of pixels and multiply them by 4 every time you double the numeral prefix (starting at 2K).

Example:

• 2K = ~2MP
  
  
• 4K = ~8MP
  
  
• 8K = ~32MP
  

so a ~16MP monitor would roughly equate to a 6K resolution instead (~18MP).

Or math: n*(n/2), where n is the aforementioned "resolution"

That's just stupid and the only people I can see applying that logic are marketers.
I can see an argument for 5120x2160 (21:9) being 4k UW. But not 5120x1440.

this is what happens when we switch from lines (which we've used going back to the dawn of tv) to "k"

Love Samsung Displays but can you afford them?

Perhaps Korean MBest or PIXIO

Example:

• 2K = ~2MP
  
  
• 4K = ~8MP
  
  
• 8K = ~32MP

1920x1080 is 2MP (16:9)
2560x1080 is 2.7MP (21:9)
3840x1080 is 4.1MP (32:9)

2560x1440 is 3.6MP (16:9)
3440x1440 is 4.9MP (21:9)
5120x1440 is 7.3MP (32:9)

3840x2160 is 8.2MP (16:9)
5120x2160 is 11MP (21:9)
7680x2160 is 16.5MP (32:9)

it all goes up equally, and sure technically 7680x2160 IS roughly 6k not 4k, for marketing reasons calling it 4k 32:9 is simply easier to understand for consumers. It uses the vertical resolution from 4k, and however many pixels horizontal are required for the desired aspect ratio (3840 for 16:9, 5120 for 21:9 and 7680 for 32:9) Just reffering to all 3 of these as 4k and then the aspect ratio (16:9, 21:9, or 32:9) is far simpler than saying 4k 16:9, 5k 21:9, and 6k 32:9.

I'm sure we'll see plenty more of this confusing stuff in the future though as larger resolution panels get produced.

I WANT THIS MONITOR.

a ultra ultra wide that will blow my UW LG out of the water in width.

What's the issue with VA?

What's the issue with VA?

Just don't like it... my last 40" 4K monitor was VA... I went from IPS to VA when I got it and did notice it didn't look as good to me. And then when I went back to IPS a couple years later, I thought IPS looked even better than I remembered.

Pretty much just preference.

This monitor is only 60hz, I am using an ultra wide monitor for PC gaming primarily for FPS or MMO games on PC so I would need the 120hz. I guess 1440p equivalent on 32:9 would be good enough.

I can’t game on my 21:9 without having to physically move my head around.
For example, I help moderate a CS:S server and I miss 90% of that chat because I have to physically move my head to read it.

I can’t imagine something wider for gaming... how are you guys setting up your battle stations to use these beasts without issue?
