It's not "nearly 8K", it's exactly 50% of 8K 8K is four times 4K, and this monitor is two times 4K side by side. So two of these monitors stacked vertically would be 8K.
"K" resolution refers to the horizontal width only, so for 8K resolution refers to an image or display resolution with a width of approximately 8,000 pixels. There are many variants for vertical resolution i.e. for different aspect ratios. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8K_resolution
I have the 49 inch Neo G9 from 2021. This is definitley an improvement HOWEVER I realized that I actually do prefer the 21:9 aspect ratio since 32:9 is simply a headache for many games with initial support of 32:9 in the first place and botched up FOV settings. So my actual dream is a 50+ inch 21:9 monitor. Lets hope we will get those one day.
@@NeverGiveUpz Yes I got hyped by the Neo G9 back in 2021 and bought it for the 2000+ dimmingszones and HDR2000. At first I was in love until I started to have real issues with many games. Old or new, didnt matter. Too bothersome to always wait for widescreenfixes and ini file tinkering. A 32:9 monitor is not plug&play. It is cumbersome.
@Cenkolino thanks for the reply mate, I guess that's this Monitor out the window for me. I used to have the Acer Predator X34a, it was 3440x1440 21:9 and fucking amazing!! But, when I recently upgraded my PC to a 4090 etc I wanted to go 4K! And why it is decent, it doesn't IMO give the same immersive experience.
Appreciate the in depth look and coverage of both Mac and PC! Let's hope Mac starts to support full resolution - I have the G9 now and would love to have 4k resolution for design work!
I'd add a correction. 7680x2160 @ 240 Hz @ 10-bit - not 12-bit like you said - should be possible over HDMI 2.1 using Display Stream Compression with 3.75:1 ratio. But so far only the 7900 XT/X seems to be able to do 240 Hz @ 10-bit over the HDMI 2.1 port, with any Nvidia card and older AMD GPUs limited to 120 Hz. I hope this can be fixed with driver or firmware updates.
I was going to say it’s 7900 range of cards that supposed DP2.1. I have a 7900XT and was wondering when we would see a monitor support it as they are very rare.
Yes. 12-bit does not make sense here. It's not a 12-bit display in the first place. Samsung introduced custom timing for 8K/2K/240Hz, both on HDMI 2.1 and DP 2.1 ports. Monitor manual shows this on page 49. Also, HDMI port 1 is limited to 120Hz. It's on Samsung to cooperate with AMD, Intel and Nvidia on introducing this custom timing (pixel clock at 4223 MHz) into GPU driver firmware. On HDMI 2.1 port, only 48 Gbps mode with compression can drive this display fully, so FRL6+DSC. This also needs to be baked in firmware. Ability to do this on Nvidia cards will depend on display lane configurartion on PCB.
Fantastic Review, I really enjoyed it. What made me a little nervous, is that I didn't have any protection to remove from the front of the screen, but did have some protection to remove of the back of the screen - which is weird. I wonder if any fellow owners had the same packaging issues.... I'm nervous that my monitor isn't new.... (I'm now asking this question in pretty much all reviews / unboxing of the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57" - and might decide to send mine back!)

g9 oled is way better monitor its oled and its for gaming a lot eaiser than this resolution of 57" g9. This monitor is mostly for productivity, not for gaming with current gen graphics.
What's Ironic about this monitor is that you'd have to really not care about Graphical Preset Settings, or Frame Rate. A 4090 isn't getting anywhere near 240 Hz on most triple AAA titles even with 3440 x 1440 p
Brilliant review. I would like to see more games being played with an idea of fps and how many games are compatible with this resolution. I dont see any need to go above 120hz for gaming as the 4090 can't play many graphics intensive games at or above 120fps anyway.

But also not sure if this is the best setup for this use case either.
Hey! Thanks for the informative video! Just wondering is it a glossy or matte screen? Any opinion on its usability for content creators (colour accuracy etc for photo editing?) 🤜🏽
Nice looking monitor. Im thinking it would work pretty well in a SIM rig. Could you let me know the vertical dimensions please? I have been put off large ultrawides because the vertical size has remained at 27 inches for so long. I would love something with more verticle real estate.
Its best to wait until the technology catch up with this type of gaming monitor, we don't have the GPU or DP ports available, the pivot and arms to fully utilize this monitor. I say get the Oled G9 or wait 1-2 more years, maybe they release an Oled version in the future or prices drops and the GPUs that can fully utilized this monitor will be available in the market. Otherwise you are leaving so much performance on the table for this price of a monitor, people would be better off going triple 32in 4k or dual. These price won't stick, look at the G9 Oled price already at $1700 from $2,300 MSRP.
Nice review! Im still working on mine. Quick question! Where are you located? Im in USA and did not get any kind of protective screen on my panel and have 3 little scratches on it. Brand new in box sent directly from Samsung's trade show partner, TTI.
I’m in Australia I got it directly from Samsung I don’t know any reason why your monitor doesn’t have the film aside from a potential qa check somewhere down the line
With 57in you cannot be sitting 2 foot away from monitor and you need a bigger desk for it than usual. I got my 49 and at first it was so hard to see what’s going on till a went another foot backwards on my chair. Just don’t go blind guys :)
Great review! I also have an Ergotron HX arm with my 49" Neo right now. How is yours holding up with the 2 screws added? Feel confident it wont go anywhere?
I want to know the actual HxWxD dimensions. Where is it taller/wider/deeper than the 49"? It's very hard to judge how much bigger it is in a video. I have the 49", and from what I've seen in videos it doesn't look much larger. I know the 49" to 57" is diagonal. But is it the same height as the 49?
I have it on preorder. Hopefully this time it won't come to the extreme panel lottery, firmware issues and general lack of QA the 49" model suffered from.
@@arktez9307 thx mate. I´ve had mine for a few days now. zero dead pixels, no dse, no banding, no scanlines, near perfect uniformity. I absolutely won the panel lottery this time.
Do you happen to have the measurement of how long the stand feet are from directly back to front? Need to measure if it fits on my monitor stand on the desk.
Honestly i'd rather have a big 21:9 screen than 32:9. something like 5120x2160 with 240hz. 32:9 is just not good for gaming. i had a g9 once and swapped back to 21:9 after a few days. also 7680x2160 is a bit too high res for a 57". 6000x1800 would be more fitting. The only use i see for a monitor like this is working and some casual gaming but no fps games like cs or valorant. Currently i have a LG 38GN950-B at 3840 x 1600 with 160hz. i dropped the g9 for that. For fps games i use a Acer XV272UX at 2540x1440 with 270hz. All other games are fine on the 21:9.
I really dont get why people say stuff like you dont need an 8k monitor because your system cannot run it. Everyone said this about me buying a 4k monitor, now look at pc's, they crap all over 4k games like theres no tomorrow and this is exactly whats going to happen to 8k, you'll have the monitor far longer than 8k will take to come in. I reckon you'd even have 12k before you are done with the monitor.
I NEVER LIKED THESE CURVED SCREENS. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY SPEND $2,499 WHEN I CAN BUY A 75'' TCL FOR LESS THAN $750 AND IT LOOKS A PLAYS JUST AS GOOD ?
I have the 2021 model and this is a worthy upgrade I think... On the Mac can you notice much improved sharpness with text and stuff? I don't game at all with mine and 100% use it for productivity/design. The resolution sucks on the 2021 model. Also, this one is WAY more curved than my model I think... Wonder if that will mess me up too much for design work. Excited about the larger screen real estate :D
Depending on which mac, my M1 is really the same, its just bigger, the resolution is the same but there are more pixels on screen so things look sharper. Its the same curve as the old one.
I really wanted to like this monitor, but I don't understand why people want such a curved monitor. It makes a large part of your desk unusable due to having to stick things behind the monitor. Wish they would have made 2 variants; each with a different curve level. 1000 is just too curved, imo. Had one for a few days, returned it. I have very expensive desk speakers from Teufel, the monitor would rattle due to the sound from the speakers bouncing off the sides of the monitor because it curved in front of them. I did have (well still have) the LG 5k Ultra Fine 34" Ultrawide (Flat) and wanted something curved, but not that curved. 1800r maybe? or slightly less? My desk is 3ft deep 7ft wide.. so I don't need something stupid curved, as the monitor sits a good distance away.. Unfortunately no one makes a monitor in the 57" (or nearby) in a curve less than 1000r .. LG's curved monitors are even worse at 800r
What kind of camera and lens did you use to shoot the angle behind your shoulders? What was the monitor injection rate set to when you played the game?
It was an older lens, I’m not sure what it is as I’m not home. But why do you ask? Maybe provide some context ? Also I’m not sure what you mean by injection
@@TechManPat I am Korean, and I am going to do a live broadcast of racing or flight simulation in Korea. I'm trying to use the monitor, but if I stream the monitor screen directly, it cuts at a 16:9 ratio, so it's necessary to broadcast at that angle. Usually, a camera can shoot about 60 frames, but that monitor can shoot up to 240 frames. I asked because I thought the shooting was going well Thank you for your answer
@ncomskim the monitor with my 4090 tops out at 120 due to current limitations. I have set my shutter speed to 60, as long as it’s in Mulitple’s of it should be fine. In regards to iso I had it set to 800 and lights off, the colour comes through better then.
Take a plastic coat hanger... break off some pieces about 2 inches to 2 and a half and lift the arm up.... where the hinge is put the plastic pieces into the bend and 🎉🎉🎉 magic
For screen it is the 7900xtx for performance it is the RTX4090.

Anyone who wants to buy one and expects service from Samsung in the event of a warranty claim should leave it alone. I bought the device at the end of August in a special offer together with a beamer. It arrived at the beginning of September and simply failed at the end of September (and I'm not the only one, so it seems to be a production fault). Since then, Samsung has not managed to repair or simply replace the device. The only thing I've been offered is a reversal, but I have to send back the free gift (which I gave away as it was free) or I'll be charged for it afterwards. This means that I have the stress of the defect and have to pay extra for the reversal. That's what I call customer-friendly and ingenious business practice. Making money for beamers that they can't get rid of because they are not worth the estimated price.
Good sir, how did you get Starfield to run at 32:9 ive been trying everything from hex editors to mods but i keep getting this weird magnifying effect in my peripherals
@@TechManPat Hey if you’re using m2 pro chip or higher, you can actually get full res with 120hz. Use an ultra certified HDMI 2.1 cable and you should be good to go, connect it directly to macbook
Have you figured out how to use the "hub" on this thing to share resources between computers, such as the speakers, webcam, etc? I know it has the capability, however, the instructions are limited.
@@TechManPat Yup, got it figured out. The 2x USB Type A's had me confused; they're both output from the same selected source. I just ended up connecting a USB Type A to C cable to a Belkin USB-C and it works.
Did u have to mod starfield to get it to run in that resolution and bg3 ..do u see screen tearing in the corners at all .. and what about scanlines :)?
Yes I had to mod starfield, but that’s because it didn’t support 32:9 aspect ratio. No other modifications to get it running at these resolutions and no other issues
u have the ergotron that was designed for the 49inch? and still droops? weird for being specced at 19kg weight capacity when the 57in is like 15ish without stand
It’s not so much the weight, it’s the distribution out from the front, it’s a longer screen and is set further forward and so the weigh is more on the pivot. I was hoping the lower weight would balance out but it did not
@@TechManPat ahhh yes make sense, your using the HD Pivot add-on on the Ergo? But yeah Im still waiting for my monitor so would be nice to see an arm really designed for it. I also appreciate your vid, gave me proper insight on the size and save me time on getting the Ergo for 49 in to test it :)
this is what i have to say about this....... so 4090 is able to run the 49in version in most cases at a high performance ...........when are we going to have a GPU that can actually run this 240hz!!!!!!!!
Not sure what the problem with your ergotron was but I could re-use the original screws. I only had to adjust the spring strength of the arm and pivot because this monitor is 3 kg heavier than the 49 inch mini-led version. Btw. it looks like the M1 macbooks are out of luck with the required/native resolution. I can only go up to the old 49 inch resolution. I will try my hackintosh with the 5700 xt later
Quiet Informative. Only set back for me is Ergtron cannot handle the weight and samsung monitor stand occupy too much space on the desk . Let's hope Ergtron design something for this monitor
I can’t wait to get this monitor. Let’s hope NVIDIA has a firmware update for this display if not we gotta wait till they come up with a DP 2.1 GPU which should have been the 40 series to begin with.

i have g9 49" GSYNC.. i'm not in idea to change, only when the newest have GSYNC too ... Having always used the Gsync I can no longer use monitor without 🙁
You can tighten the screws on the arm with an allen key to stop it from drooping. Find the position you want it in, then tighten all of the screws. They do sometimes loosen when trying to move it around.
I have had this monitor for a week and recently purchased the Ergotron arm with a Heavy duty pivot head and I tightened screw to max and it barely holds, so its rated 19KG is false. Have asked them what the issue is.@@TechManPat
I did test that. Have oled g9, tried the 57. Oled wins all time, no washed out colors etc. The 57 is high and gave lots of gradients where oled has consistent color. But if that do not annoy then 57 has really great color and contrast as well. My 57 had 2 stuck pixels. So I returned it. Back on my oled again. And nog sure if i shall order a new 57 or not. And hope for no desd pixels
@@johannormen thank you for sharing your perspective on both. I had the G9 Oled and I return it for the s95c 55. However still trying to get used to the verticals height as a pc gaming monitor. Superb color. I was hoping to hear good news on the 57. It has a couple inches more vertical height and more curve from the 57.

Nice review! Im still working on mine. Quick question! Where are you located? Im in USA and did not get any kind of protective screen on my panel and have 3 little scratches on it. Brand new in box sent directly from Samsung's trade show partner, TTI.
I’m in Australia I got it directly from Samsung I don’t know any reason why your monitor doesn’t have the film aside from a potential qa check somewhere down the line
With 57in you cannot be sitting 2 foot away from monitor and you need a bigger desk for it than usual. I got my 49 and at first it was so hard to see what’s going on till a went another foot backwards on my chair. Just don’t go blind guys :)
Nice review, what is screen height without stand with stand it is 60.1 CM?
Great review! I also have an Ergotron HX arm with my 49" Neo right now. How is yours holding up with the 2 screws added? Feel confident it wont go anywhere?
I feel confident because the screws are jammed so, it’s pretty solid haha but I will swap it out for a proper one one day
Hey mate, do you have any more specifics on what kind of screws and where to add them?
how long is the monitor if you scale it straight? and also how long is your table? thank you sir
I want to know the actual HxWxD dimensions. Where is it taller/wider/deeper than the 49"? It's very hard to judge how much bigger it is in a video. I have the 49", and from what I've seen in videos it doesn't look much larger. I know the 49" to 57" is diagonal. But is it the same height as the 49?
I’m getting it !!!
apparently theres been reports of the screen cracking in half for no reason
hmmmm
Man I hope you don't take this the wrong way but your hair is off the chain!!! 😆
Haircut booked for Wednesday...
how much taller vertically is the actual screen (not including beezels) compared to the 49 inch?
2 inches
I have it on preorder. Hopefully this time it won't come to the extreme panel lottery, firmware issues and general lack of QA the 49" model suffered from.
What makes you think it won't happen again?
@@Bloodonmyknife open a dictionary and search for the word "hopeful" :)
I have one badpixel on it, someone have 4 badpixels in one row, someone returned two those monitors... So i wish you good luck mate
@@arktez9307 thx mate. I´ve had mine for a few days now. zero dead pixels, no dse, no banding, no scanlines, near perfect uniformity. I absolutely won the panel lottery this time.

Привет, какой кронштейн используете для крепления данного монитора?
how did you get Starfield working in Ultrawide?! I can't make the res go higher than 3840x2160 centralised.
Hi, nice video! I’m wondering if your MacBook Pro it’s M1 or M2? I believe the new M2 supports HDMI 2.1 in order to take full advantages of 240Hz?
Do you happen to have the measurement of how long the stand feet are from directly back to front? Need to measure if it fits on my monitor stand on the desk.
Honestly i'd rather have a big 21:9 screen than 32:9. something like 5120x2160 with 240hz. 32:9 is just not good for gaming. i had a g9 once and swapped back to 21:9 after a few days. also 7680x2160 is a bit too high res for a 57". 6000x1800 would be more fitting.
The only use i see for a monitor like this is working and some casual gaming but no fps games like cs or valorant.
Currently i have a LG 38GN950-B at 3840 x 1600 with 160hz. i dropped the g9 for that. For fps games i use a Acer XV272UX at 2540x1440 with 270hz. All other games are fine on the 21:9.
That’s a fair call !
My fps gaming is over now, my reflexes are getting old haha.
@@TechManPat i am getting 37 next month but i sill play CSGO on a decent elo :D
@jercyshore haha maybe it’s a state of mind :)
New 5K/2K monitors in 2025. A long wait....
Is the macbook pro m1 powerful enough to power this monitor?
Powerful yes, but the ports do not allow it. so technically no.
Great review! Sub'd.
can i run it as 1440p monitor and get 240hz via dp1 or hdmi 2?
I really dont get why people say stuff like you dont need an 8k monitor because your system cannot run it. Everyone said this about me buying a 4k monitor, now look at pc's, they crap all over 4k games like theres no tomorrow and this is exactly whats going to happen to 8k, you'll have the monitor far longer than 8k will take to come in. I reckon you'd even have 12k before you are done with the monitor.
Completely agreed
I NEVER LIKED THESE CURVED SCREENS. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY SPEND $2,499 WHEN I CAN BUY A 75'' TCL FOR LESS THAN $750 AND IT LOOKS A PLAYS JUST AS GOOD ?
Because it doesn’t and has massive input lag
If you are on console, it's good enough but not the same in the slightest
Good videos you did a good Job
Thank you :)
You're welcome
@5:58, it is not nearly 8K, it is exactly half of 8K
I have the 2021 model and this is a worthy upgrade I think... On the Mac can you notice much improved sharpness with text and stuff? I don't game at all with mine and 100% use it for productivity/design. The resolution sucks on the 2021 model.
Also, this one is WAY more curved than my model I think... Wonder if that will mess me up too much for design work.
Excited about the larger screen real estate :D
Depending on which mac, my M1 is really the same, its just bigger, the resolution is the same but there are more pixels on screen so things look sharper.
Its the same curve as the old one.
I really wanted to like this monitor, but I don't understand why people want such a curved monitor. It makes a large part of your desk unusable due to having to stick things behind the monitor.
Wish they would have made 2 variants; each with a different curve level. 1000 is just too curved, imo.
Had one for a few days, returned it. I have very expensive desk speakers from Teufel, the monitor would rattle due to the sound from the speakers bouncing off the sides of the monitor because it curved in front of them. I did have (well still have) the LG 5k Ultra Fine 34" Ultrawide (Flat) and wanted something curved, but not that curved. 1800r maybe? or slightly less? My desk is 3ft deep 7ft wide.. so I don't need something stupid curved, as the monitor sits a good distance away.. Unfortunately no one makes a monitor in the 57" (or nearby) in a curve less than 1000r .. LG's curved monitors are even worse at 800r
What kind of camera and lens did you use to shoot the angle behind your shoulders? What was the monitor injection rate set to when you played the game?
It was an older lens, I’m not sure what it is as I’m not home. But why do you ask? Maybe provide some context ? Also I’m not sure what you mean by injection
@@TechManPat I am Korean, and I am going to do a live broadcast of racing or flight simulation in Korea.
I'm trying to use the monitor, but if I stream the monitor screen directly, it cuts at a 16:9 ratio, so it's necessary to broadcast at that angle.
Usually, a camera can shoot about 60 frames, but that monitor can shoot up to 240 frames. I asked because I thought the shooting was going well
Thank you for your answer
@ncomskim the monitor with my 4090 tops out at 120 due to current limitations. I have set my shutter speed to 60, as long as it’s in Mulitple’s of it should be fine. In regards to iso I had it set to 800 and lights off, the colour comes through better then.
where can we buy this product?
October in USA
Can I ask, what model speakers are they ?
Take a plastic coat hanger... break off some pieces about 2 inches to 2 and a half and lift the arm up.... where the hinge is put the plastic pieces into the bend and 🎉🎉🎉 magic
yep, thats the one.
@@TechManPat 😂🤣 works flawlessly you would think a coat hanger would come in the box
@KanoDTG haha, I know right, imagine the R&D costs that would be saved
I would love this except it's not an OLED monitor, otherwise I would upgrade my current OLED G9. "Once you go OLED you never go back"
One day, I’m sure there will be an oled in this size
I am about to buy this monitor. But which card do you recommend to make the screen reach its full potential? 7900xtx or the RTX 4090???
For screen it is the 7900xtx for performance it is the RTX4090.
Anyone who wants to buy one and expects service from Samsung in the event of a warranty claim should leave it alone.
I bought the device at the end of August in a special offer together with a beamer. It arrived at the beginning of September and simply failed at the end of September (and I'm not the only one, so it seems to be a production fault). Since then, Samsung has not managed to repair or simply replace the device.
The only thing I've been offered is a reversal, but I have to send back the free gift (which I gave away as it was free) or I'll be charged for it afterwards. This means that I have the stress of the defect and have to pay extra for the reversal.
That's what I call customer-friendly and ingenious business practice. Making money for beamers that they can't get rid of because they are not worth the estimated price.

hi what model is the monitor arm you use?
Good sir, how did you get Starfield to run at 32:9 ive been trying everything from hex editors to mods but i keep getting this weird magnifying effect in my peripherals
th-cam.com/video/pjFi_R3xJhw/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgzIGGVqvid64S5wm0d4AaABAg
Can you tell me what update(s)you are referring to for the Mac? Are you using an M1 or 2 chip and which version? And does it offer charging?
I mean a physical update, m2 and no it doesn’t affect charging
@@TechManPat Hey if you’re using m2 pro chip or higher, you can actually get full res with 120hz. Use an ultra certified HDMI 2.1 cable and you should be good to go, connect it directly to macbook
@atharvadeosthale5919 that’s right, but I am on m1
Hi, how deep is your desk, and what is your sitting distance away from the monitor?
900 and then probably 800 away from monitor
Boa tarde amigo, aonde eu encontro para comprar esse suporte para o munitor g9 neo ? 😢😅
Have you figured out how to use the "hub" on this thing to share resources between computers, such as the speakers, webcam, etc? I know it has the capability, however, the instructions are limited.
You mean the KVM? Yeah it can do up 2 computers in one monitor. Two USB goes to the computer with one going to your peripherals.
@@TechManPat Yup, got it figured out. The 2x USB Type A's had me confused; they're both output from the same selected source. I just ended up connecting a USB Type A to C cable to a Belkin USB-C and it works.
Hi TechManPat, How long is the provided HDMI cable with the Samsung 57"
Very short, like less than a meter
Did u have to mod starfield to get it to run in that resolution and bg3 ..do u see screen tearing in the corners at all .. and what about scanlines :)?
Yes I had to mod starfield, but that’s because it didn’t support 32:9 aspect ratio. No other modifications to get it running at these resolutions and no other issues
u have the ergotron that was designed for the 49inch? and still droops? weird for being specced at 19kg weight capacity when the 57in is like 15ish without stand
It’s not so much the weight, it’s the distribution out from the front, it’s a longer screen and is set further forward and so the weigh is more on the pivot. I was hoping the lower weight would balance out but it did not
@@TechManPat ahhh yes make sense, your using the HD Pivot add-on on the Ergo? But yeah Im still waiting for my monitor so would be nice to see an arm really designed for it.
I also appreciate your vid, gave me proper insight on the size and save me time on getting the Ergo for 49 in to test it :)
Smearing va panel issues?
this is what i have to say about this....... so 4090 is able to run the 49in version in most cases at a high performance ...........when are we going to have a GPU that can actually run this 240hz!!!!!!!!
What are the dimensions of your desktop? Awesome video!!
As in the desk ? 2400x900x40
Is it still compatible with G sync?
In the specs do I only see freesync?
Thanks for the review !
Yes compatible, it basically acts the same way, nvidia panel recognises it
@@TechManPat thx👍
Not sure what the problem with your ergotron was but I could re-use the original screws. I only had to adjust the spring strength of the arm and pivot because this monitor is 3 kg heavier than the 49 inch mini-led version. Btw. it looks like the M1 macbooks are out of luck with the required/native resolution. I can only go up to the old 49 inch resolution. I will try my hackintosh with the 5700 xt later
It’s not the arm it’s the pivot, which has no screws it’s on a spring
May I ask how you eventually solved the issue with the Ergotron HX HD?@@TechManPat
Hey have the problem that my monitor tilts forward, what am I doing wrong ?
@@exitus-gaming check the ergotron manual. there are 2 "hidden" screws which can be tighten to adjust the weight/pressure
Okay, I'll take a look tomorrow. Thanks for the quick reply@@paulklein649
Any dead pixels? Does it make popping noises after turning the monitor on or off for 15-20 minutes?
Nothing like that is far, pixel perfect
I will not understand why a 1000+ monitor isn't built like the oled g8 ... its a disappointment
Quiet Informative. Only set back for me is Ergtron cannot handle the weight and samsung monitor stand occupy too much space on the desk . Let's hope Ergtron design something for this monitor
They are working on it.
If you choose a standard 4K resolution in something like BG3, does it just with black bars on the side?
No, its not the resolution, its the aspect ratio, you would have black bars if you set the ratio to anything less than 32:9
This monitor has a built-in KVM and I’m interested if it actually functions correctly. Given my last monitor with built-in KVM did not.
It does with a quick test, it was limited to just a mac and PC,
@@TechManPat thanks for checking. This looks like a productivity/gaming beast but I’ll be very cautious before buying.
Will xbox series x or PlayStation 5 be supported on this gaming monitor
Yes it is supported already
I can’t wait to get this monitor. Let’s hope NVIDIA has a firmware update for this display if not we gotta wait till they come up with a DP 2.1 GPU which should have been the 40 series to begin with.
79000xtx has dp2.1 already
@@smoking.mirror344 yeah I know but I have a 4090 and I don’t think the 7900xtx can compare performance wise.
@@marco_evertusI have the 4090 and it just depends on the game. I've seen some games where the 7900XTX was better. With RT 4090 wins all day tho.
@@volcalstone lol 4090 is way better...
8K is 4x 4K... this display is around half the number of pixels of an 8k display
Hi, is your MBP M1 or M2? I've heard M2 Pro supports the native res out of the box.
Mine is M1
@@TechManPat that is the reason you don’t get full res. The m2 pro and max full res with the supplied cables.
Do you prefer the picture quality of the G9 OLED or the 57"?
For work, the 57", for gaming and films, maybe the OLED, but the mini LED on the 57 is very close, so over all I prefer the 57"
@@TechManPat Tempted to wait for the 57", 32" 4k OLED or go with the 49" OLED for $1200 today. Currently own the Dell 34" OLED. Thanks for the reply. Great video.

What's the width as measured by a tape measure?
That monitor looks magic.
It is !
i have g9 49" GSYNC.. i'm not in idea to change, only when the newest have GSYNC too ... Having always used the Gsync I can no longer use monitor without 🙁
This has amd free sync and from my testing it’s pretty much the same.
@@TechManPat thank you for the reply, but in my worse experience i've found a lot of flickness problem with Nvidia on Freesync monitors... 😑
You can tighten the screws on the arm with an allen key to stop it from drooping. Find the position you want it in, then tighten all of the screws. They do sometimes loosen when trying to move it around.
This monitor exceeds the rating of the ergotron stand and they are looking at making one to support this class of monitors.
There is nothing to tighten, its spring loaded enclosed in a metal structure, there are no screws in the pivot head.
I have had this monitor for a week and recently purchased the Ergotron arm with a Heavy duty pivot head and I tightened screw to max and it barely holds, so its rated 19KG is false. Have asked them what the issue is.@@TechManPat
this dsplay isnt just a cuple of pxels shy of 8k ist less than half of 8k, its two 4k panels, 8k would be four 4k panels
Would you be able to compare it to the G9 Oled in terms of picture quality comparison.
I will try !
I did test that. Have oled g9, tried the 57. Oled wins all time, no washed out colors etc. The 57 is high and gave lots of gradients where oled has consistent color. But if that do not annoy then 57 has really great color and contrast as well. My 57 had 2 stuck pixels. So I returned it. Back on my oled again. And nog sure if i shall order a new 57 or not. And hope for no desd pixels
@@johannormen thank you for sharing your perspective on both. I had the G9 Oled and I return it for the s95c 55. However still trying to get used to the verticals height as a pc gaming monitor. Superb color. I was hoping to hear good news on the 57. It has a couple inches more vertical height and more curve from the 57.
what arm are you using for the monitor?
Ergotron with a heavy duty pivot plus mod to hold this monitor up
