Samsung CHG90 Series C49HG90 49" 3840 x 1080 1ms 144Hz 2x HDMI DisplayPort Mini-DisplayPort HDR AMD FreeSync USB Hub QLED Curved Gaming Monitor

Pros: 1. Huge display with fantastic picture. 2. Offers wide viewing angle. 3. Fast. 4. Sturdy stand.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: 1. Back panel USB / Headset hook are only useable if you have access to the back of course. not easy to reach over from the front. 2. Perhaps a higher res panel would have been good, but I think Samsung nailed this generation's tech perfectly for speed and picture. It is better than I thought it would be. 3. It is very easy to reduce font size, zoom out, etc, to make use of the large screen in browsers, etc, with a large 1080 screen. With other panels offering higher res you often make fonts larger, zoom in, so it is essentially the same practice. Clearly it lacks pixels, but you wanted that for speed, right? Yup! 4. I replaced my 3x 1920x1200 (5760x1200) eyefinity rig with this and immediately realized I did the right thing. 5. The other option was to go 3x 2k or 4k monitors and buy two or three top end GPUs, I just got tired of bezels, complexity, and cost. 6. "Big" wide screen is great. 7. I use two Asus R9 Fury Strix (Crossfire). Apparently these received HDR support last year from AMD. Fully supported DisplayPort version 1.2a (older DP versions don't support HDR) @ 10bit, 120hz refresh rate (on a 1080p screen). If my GPU's were newer I'd get DP version 1.4, and the 144hz from this monitor. 8. I thought I was having displayport problems, but it seems HDR isn't a perfect science yet... Everything works great in games and movies, but Windows desktop is washed out. This is a common complaint for Windows 10 users and not related to the monitor. In Windows 10 it's easy to turn off HDR in Display Properties, but you might just get used to it or tweak the monitor presets. 9. The monitor came with firmware version 1003, and 1008 is available from Samsung's product page.

Pros: This product is honestly the greatest purchase I have made in a long time, like before GPUs were so dang expensive kind of great. I used a standard Ultrawide 1440p monitor at 100hz and it was quite immersive, or at least at the time. I studied this monitor ever since it was announced. Seems too good to be true with the specifications, but it meets every itch a gamer/multi-tasker/experiencer loves. Most modern games support the 32:9 aspect ratio, and though it may seem like too much, you are "IN" the game when you play. Despite the 1080p resolution, the 144hz, the 1ms response time and the less stress on my GPU (from the 1440p Ultrawide monitor) makes it for a full immersive experience.

Cons: The only con you may experience is the regret you will have if you enjoy gaming or multi-tasking and you give this up. But in all honesty, after using this for over 6 months now, this has saved me money and a pain of buying a new tv just to be disappointed. You have "Two" screens at your disposal. Xbox and switch play on it flawlessly with minimal input lag compared to a television. Still input lag cause it is a console, but not as unresponsive.

Overall Review: Some complain about how wide it is or how long the legs are on the stand, but honestly with the size you are dealing with, not including the amazing amount of height, tilt, swivel options there are, it fits fine. I know most people don't have a lot of space on their desk, and with that being so, you probably aren't that invested enough to purchase this monitor. If you game, multi-task, or like running two monitors on one monitor (AIO solution) constantly, then it is worth it. But if this is a casual monitor you use, then don't get it. Not cause of price, but because you will think more negatively about it compared to someone who will "actually" constantly use it.

Pros: Superwide and curved. Excellent viewing angles.

Cons: Expensive.

Overall Review: Replaced a Dell 34" display. This display dwarfs other widescreen displays. Having a super wide monitor allows more viewing space for excel spreadsheets and multiple documents side by side. I use this mostly for audio/video editing, and it allows the entire timeline to be displayed without having to scroll left to right.

Pros: I am a photographer and using this monitor has been super helpful in my work flow. I can now have Photoshop and Lightroom open side by side and still have room for other things on the screen such as a browser or messaging app. I used two monitors before I bought this and it's so much nicer to have everything on one screen. And on the flip, as a gamer, it's amazing to have such a wide field of view.

Cons: This monitor is very heavy and there is a specific method to removing it from the box without harming it. This isn't a con necessarily but something to be careful with. Keep the box to put it back into when moving it. The box is huge as well, obviously. The base/stand also takes up a lot of usable desk space. I couldn't find the measurements of the stand when I bought it so I'll give them to you now. The width of the stand legs at their furthest points from each other is 32 inches. The length from the back to the point where it splits is 9 inches. But if you were to want to buy a stand to put the monitor on it would need to be at least 15 inches long.

Overall Review: This is a very large monitor and it's very cool. You can definitely show it off and have some bragging rights with it. The screen is very bright and there are multiple options for color/game profiles which you can switch between pretty easily. It's nice having the USB ports on the back of the monitor however if you're planning to constantly plug and unplug USB cables it's kind of hard to get to them if your monitor is up against a wall.

Pros: High refresh rate - it even takes a 60hz signal input and doubles it to 120hz so that you don't get headaches. Even works with minimal computer (have a Udoo X86 single board computer connected to it as a second computer). Lots of desktop. I had a 21:9 monitor before this debated if I should replace it. This is what I really wanted to have when i bought that one. Great for CAD work, Video Editing, etc. Great price!

Cons: Takes a bit of adjustment to get used to the curve. The base of the monitor sticks out a bit, not a huge issue as they are at an obtuse angle (120+ degrees?).

Overall Review: If I had to buy it again, I'd pick one that matched my video card and was flat.

Cons: NONE!

Overall Review: I went from 3 144hz monitors to this amazing monitor and 1 of my old 144hz monitors. I use this awesome monitor out for my games and my old monitor for discord/google/etc... Lets just say when you post pictures in discord, they are now 7-8MB lol Quality is great and it feels very smooth. I didn't think it would look this great, but it does :) It may not be pure 4k, but for this price and curved/49"/144hz/1ms its a steal, very grateful for all the people involved in the development, manufacturing,. selling and shipping that ended up with this awesome monitor on my desk :)

Pros: - 144hz. - Good way to combine two 1080 video signals into one monitor. That's the primary reason I bought this ridiculous beast. Works ... kinda ... - Better 1800R curvature than competitive models.

Cons: - As others have said, it often (about once a day) won't wake up from its sleep state. The only fix this is to unplug and replug in the monitor. Menu button is unresponsive. - Speaking of the menu, the menu takes literally 10 seconds to come up. So if you want to change settings that reboot the monitor, or alter a video sources, or bring it up from a sleep state, get ready to ... wait ... wait ... wait ... - As much as it is capable of combining two video sources, when you do a LOT of features disappear (like refresh rates, for example). - Consistently needs HDMI Mode to be reset (with the requisite 10 second wait). So if you also plan on also using this as a DVD/Blu-ray monitor, you may be visiting the menu a lot (and waiting ... for ... the ... slowest ... menu ... ever ... made). - Even though this has the best curvature currently out there, 1800R, it's *still* not angled enough for its size, honestly. You will need to lean your body to read the ends of the monitor. (Apparently the human eye is equivalent to 1000R, FYI.) - The inputs for video signals will scrunch your cables up quite a bit, as there isn't much room in the rear port alcove for the cables to curve their way out. I bought angled adapters for my HDMI and DisplayPort cables.

Overall Review: - I updated to latest firmware. - Honestly, I would not buy this again. I would buy a large 21:9 3440 x 1440 monitor instead. The only use case I can see for this is to combine two 1080 signals onto one monitor, and by doing that you remove a lot of it's great features. - This thing is truly gigantic. Measure your desk and surroundings before buying it. The stand is wider than most wide screen monitors (nearly 3 ft wide). The screen is crazy wide (like 4 ft). - All video signals (online streaming or an external player) will only take up a fraction of the screen. Get ready for wide black bars on either side. - As this is the only 32:9 monitor currently made, I wonder about support for games in the future. 21:9 will certainly be supported, but will 32:9 when there's basically only 1 monitor out there with this aspect ratio? Maybe ... - Given the games I've tested with this, it seems like the edges are pretty massively distorted, as if the left and right 8 inches or so are just being stretched out. Are we actually seeing 32:9 here from these games, or are we just seeing a stretched 21:9? I'm not sure ... GTA5 was one of those games (and yes, I did play with POV settings). - Soft light bleed through, on black backgrounds. It's not bad, but it's there. - Come on, this thing is a toy. It's nice, it's fun, it's crazy ... but it's not really practical. - Unless you're seriously into simulation racing / driving / flying games, or really need to multitask with many windows up at once, I'd go with a larger 21:9, or stick with multi-monitor setup, instead. This thing is too wide for practical use, or FPS type games, or for watching videos of any kind. Once you get past the wow factor the first week or two ... it's actually kinda ridiculous.

Pros: - Compatible with various connectors for Mac and Windows mini-dp, displayport, HDMI. - Easy setup and firmware update - Great response time for Games @144Hz. - Wall mounting gear is great

Cons: - Heavy (a lot of glass) so make sure your standing desk can hold the weight
