Would be amazing @ x1440 vs the 1080 but its basically two 27" 1080p monitors stuck together or one of the 4k HDR TV's cut in half.

I was just thinking this is like a curved 4K Samsung TV cut in half. It even uses the same stand as the TVs.

Yeah it's like a 55-60" 4k they sliced in half. I couldn't do only 1080 high but lots of people seem to like the 32-34" UW 2560x1080 monitors. > 1440 for me or bust . Maybe in a few years we'll see a 3000+ height UW 34"+

1080p is a waste of screen.

Should be great for racing sims.

The only case for curved imo.

Dat cable management though... :\

Such a crazy looking monitor, just wish it was higher res ... When do 8k TVs come out so we can get those chopped in half?

I guess these are using VA panels. Supposedly 3000:1 native contrast which is pretty good. I could not find the nit value though.

Yeah I think all Samsung's are VA now since IPS is LG only and I can't remember what Samsung made that was similar to it. But their VA panels are much better than they used to be.

It's nearly the exact same size as a 55 inch 4K panel running a custom resolution of 3840x1080.

Freesync and high refresh rate I guess is what makes this have a purpose.

Right it's basically a 55" HDR 4k TV cut in half with higher refresh rate sold as a monitor

It used to be IPS panels had better color than VA. Is that no longer the case?

 

[crisium]

For regular color range it's still probably true. For HDR the superior contrast ratio helps VA, or so they say.
