Thanks for watching! Let me know if you guys have any questions! I’ll be doing an update video eventually :)
I have a suggestion. I'm an Odyssey G9 49" user and a MacBook Pro user as well (I have both Intel I9 and a M1 versions). When you mentioned "60Hz" it lit a yellow light. you are using a low-speed Usb-C cable FOR SURE. I've spent some money on dozens of different cables until I got 5120 x 1440 at **120Hz** (higher than you!). So maybe you do can take the full glory out of it if you buy the right high-end cable. Please give it a try and hopefully you can come with another video specifically over the MacBook experience! Cheers and great vid!
Have you tried using betterdisplay for scaling? I managed to get custom resolutions between 5140x1440 and 7680x2160 working with 120hz with my m2 pro macbook. Currently running it at 6080x1710 and 120hz. The trick was to use displayport 1.4 instead of HDMI 2.1 and create a virtual display with betterdisplay and mirror it to the G9 + creating custom refresh rates for the virtual display. I know m2 and m1 are different when it comes to external display support, but you should at least be able to run it at higher resolutions at 60hz?
What monitor shelf are you using ?
Can you cover some details on the desk you are using.
What desk are you using?
Ok... You're complaining about the matte finish killing contrast, but you have a "light bar" competing with the light of your monitor???? 🤦♂️
I love your honest review. I am also wanting this monitor for the same use! I am not a gamer, but want a huge monitor for multitasking! There are so many reviews about gaming, but not about practical usage.
Best review I've seen so far in terms of how I would be using it. Thanks!
Being honest and not asking for a like follow subscribe is exactly how you get a view alike and a subscription. I love the honesty about you gearing it more towards office work then gaming
Ive had the monitor for 3 weeks now and love it. I still have my oled g9 and side by side its noticeably better colors but this monitor is close. The size is awesome.
Jesse, been a long time follower of yours. Appreciate how you bring some class to your reviews. Get it brother.
Really appreciate it!
This was indeed very usefull! Thank you. The color fringing and the risk of burn is the only thing keeping me away from the Oled G9, so it was good to get the less optimal areas of the miniled model. With a 90/10 work/game ratio use, the strong curve and the viewing angle is a bit of a showstopper for me unfortunately. Already have a Samsung 49" 5120*1440 VA panel and it seem it doesnt give that much af an visual upgrade with miniled - I am sure this is some, but not as much as Oled. Couldnt run this full resolution anyway, until I upgrade my other hardware. When that day comes, I am sure there have been some optimizations in both Miniled and Oled.
If you're sharing for work you most likely use Teams, so you can just share the one window rather than the whole screen which may solve that issue.
For screen sharing, you can plug two cables from your computer to two inputs in the monitor and use the PIP mode, so it will understand as two screens, then share one of them only....
In teams I just share an app rather than a screen.. Then resize the app.. Way easier
@@rooboy69sometimes you have to share full screen such as PowerPoint to see notes and such. I’m sure there are other use cases as well.
Thanks for this review, NEEDED IT! My use is productivity...
Nice review. I am on the fence about this monitor. I am currently using an old 32" 4K Lenovo display which I only recently switched out form the Samsung 49" Neo G9. Like you, I have a Hexcal Studio desk stand, so it was helpful to see the relative width of the 57" monitor relative to the Hexcal stand. When using the 49" Neo G9, I had to place my speakers far apart and toe them in to get better spatial sound, and switching to a 32" monitor, I'm able to place my speakers much closer together which has drastically improved the sound. I am concerned about the 57" forcing me to place the speakers even further apart, and to be honest, this is my biggest concern. Right now, I am resigned to waiting for the new batch of 32" OLED's due out in 2024, but I am severely tempted to just pull the trigger on the 57"... decisions decisions
Thanks for letting us know you're focusing on productivity! I'm moving on! :D
I still can't get over how short this form factor is. I will stick to my 55" OLED, which I have ergonomically wall mounted with a cantilevered keyboard arm that lets me adjust the distance I sit from it also. And it is also able to be run at 4k 120Hz with current hardware.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on using this monitor for non-gaming. Your review plus the current $500 off pushed me over the edge and I just ordered one. It will replace my current dual 32" monitor setup.
i wish you good luck with the samsung lottery
its not a lottery though. 99%of the units doesn't have any issues, but you only see the complains@@marvinvogtde
Thank you so much for this amazing review, i wanted to purchase this for profit its, ie to replace my triple monitor setup. Have you tried to manually change the resolution to 8k on osx using quick res? Ps have you tried a usb4 -> display port 2.1 cable, or did you connect via the hdmi? I have m1max 16” mbp, and the hdmi is limited to 2.0.
Any chance you can inform me which monitor shelf you are using ?
Thanks for the information on the monitor. You answers alot of my prior questions. The only one remaining is when Model if light bar are you currently using that matches the radius of the screen? All I am finding is weird straight ones or multiple piece ones.
Great video! I just picked up this same monitor and love it! Could you share what light bar you are using? Thanks!
thank you for sharing this video, helps me a lot
i really like everything you setup on your desk
may i ask your desk size(length, width and height)?
how big is the desk to fit everything's?
Found it in another of your videos. The desk shelf is Hexcal Studio, but I would like to know how you have your monitor sitting on it? Is your monitor attached to an arm that clamps to the side of your desk?
Very good review just one queation knowing the fact that the glossy screen will have reflection as compare with the matt finish any particular reason .?
Any chance you can go over the KVM feature in depth? Like how quick it is to switch, what usb does it work with? I.E. a hub to get more USB devices? or just Keyboard/Mouse?
Hi,
Great vid.
Question; what GPU setups have you tried==> I run a Samsung q9 and an iiyama gb3266 in a dual monitor setup with an aggregate resolution of 7680 by 1440 driven by an AMD Radeon VII (a pretty old GPU) so I am a bit surprised when you say you've been unable to run at full resolution??
I like what you have the monitor resting on (shelf). Is that a separate piece from the desk? If so, have a link?
Can I ask what lights you have stuck to the back for the back lighting?
HI, can you elaborate on the sharing of screens? If I need to make a Zoom demo of my software, can I share just the window? Does it work like that or can you have sections and share a section so you can drag other windows into that section like on a monitor? I have four monitors currently and was hoping to eliminate them, all with this 57" or the 49"
nice set up! what is the curved light you are using?
Excellent productivity review as I no longer play video games as much. What is the arm you're using?
Thanks Jesse. Very informative
For sharing screen on zoom or google meet, you can just share a "portion of screen" or a specific window.
It solves this issue for me.
I think Samsung and LG are both taking their time to savor how much improvements they could make after this products, they're gleaning more data about it,
I think we'll see LG come out with another huge ones, even bigger than this one, I'll be glad to get one 86 inch 32:10 type of monitor with 6K or 8K resolution myself...
And a 2000W gpu?
@@pranze3484 Or a Nuclear reactor too.🤣
Can you trying using the split input mode and using it as 2 side by size monitors for the macbook pro?
Can you plug two diff machines into this monitor and display both at same time? For example I have a mac mini and a custom built windows pc. Can I plug both into monitor and see both machines at same time?
I have a macbook pro m3 max. Wondering if it will work with this on max resolution
Can you give us measurements of your table top and the height of monitor without stand?
Is the monitor just sitting on a monitor stand or is there an arm attached at the back?
Is there any creaking/popping noises on the back plastic cover?
Hey! Where did you get the monitor shelf?
Great video. I see your screenbar is curved. What’s the name or link to this ? Thanks.
Thx for the review I will buy it for Twitch streaming so I connect gaming and streaming pc to one 57 Neo.
Does the mac scale better to this natively than qhd ultra wides?
I'd love to see the next version or two of these. Make it OLED with upcoming better subpixel arrangement and spacing, BRIGHT, great cooling, tighter curve, DP2.1, and the vertical height of a 16:9 32inch monitor. 800R might still take a lot of desk width, so maybe something like 600R would be about right. That might be worse for productivity, but it'd be amazing for sims...if there's a gpu that can drive it well. That'd be endgame gaming monitor for me.
This is a step in the right direction though, but for now I'll stick with a LG 45 Ultragear.
It has dp 2.1 600 r is stupid lmao. And oled is a concern for work.
@@tchlinoled is for gaming and media, people that are workers stick to lcd.
I bought the 49” Samsung OLED widescreen monitor and as much as I love it, I think it’s a bit too small top to bottom so 57” seems perfect and in several years I’ll upgrade. Two reasons I didn’t get the 57” model are it’s not OLED and it’s still well over $2K in US.
What lights are you using behind the monitor?
Great video! What arm mount did you end up getting for this beast? And is it working well?
Ergotron but you have to wait for them to release a new head that can handle the weight.
3:41 solution is choosing aspect ratio manually in the player! I have G9 49 for a year now and just recently discovered that ...for example in VLC player its just pressing C. Granted, not all players have option to choose manually.
Could i know what Desk your exactly using? Thanks
I checked out some brands in the store. I think it was Samsung that actually doesn't curve the outsides of the screen, there's a flat patch?
what is the light on top of your monitor?
What is that stand that is underneath the monitor that manages the cables????
Do the new M3 Max MacBook Pro solve any issues with the refresh rate and scaling? I would love to see some productivity POV videos using your Mac.
according to specs, no. full res should work but only at 60hz.
I'm told my computer, an Icore 7 with a MSl GFORCE RTX graphics card won't run this monitor? Not enough bandwidth width. Is that true?
excellent review
I have the same Edifier speakers on my desktop. Good choice. They sound great.
do you have a link for the vesa mount you used?
Love the background on your monitor! Who's the photographer?
I just bought a 49" a couple of months ago thinking I hit the peak of ultrawides.... never knew there was a new boss
Where did you get the background from?
Does the Vesa Wall Mount come in the box?
Great video, thanks for sharing your experience! I just purchased this monitor and I’m not using it as a gaming, I like to use it as a multi task display more windows on it 😊therefore; your information is so informative to me! Quick question, do you experience a flicking on the monitor after a month using it? I bought a 49” one and it has this issue so I end up to return it and upgrade to this 57”, I hope the flicking issue has been solve from samsung. Hope to hear from you! Thank you!
So far no issues with flickering or anything else with the display! I hope yours doesn’t either!
What monitor arm are you using?
How is this actually mounted and set on the desk?
What desk you using
I want to get two of these stacked, originally was going for Odyssey Ark Gen 2, but the multiview feature is extremely disappointing in the Ark but on this it apparently shows at 4k in dual view
Love the whole setup :)
can you list all products on the desk, like to replicate :)
Are you able to run this at 144hz?
On the screen sharing issue, my workaround with my LG 49 inch is to use two inputs from my dock and it’ll be literally like two monitors side by side without the bezel. And my coworkers will just see the one “screen” or input I need them to see
On any macbookpro you can use the multipic mode to set up two 4k 60hz screens next to each other. This give you an 8k screen with some drawbacks, but alleviates the screensharing problems.
Also good to note that the 'curved screen' is actually straight at the ends .. like all 'curved screens'..
Correction
2*4K screens=16M pixels
8K=32M pixels
You need 4 4K monitors to get the resolution of 8K
already went thru 2 of these in less than 40 days. both already no power up after couple weeks of use. but overall its a dam good specs. the latest firmware didnt fix the issue.
My question with this monitor in relation to productivity is do actually get any more reel estate compared to a 5120x1440 monitor? I know you are running that resolution because your computer cant handle full resolution. But lets say you could run that full resolution, wouldnt you have to scale it to be able to read it? It seems like you would have to scale it to what is essentially the same size as 5120x1440, which means you're basically just getting a 5120x1440 monitor with higher pixel density, and not able to actually fit more on the screen
depends on your eye sight and distance, i like to scale 3840x2160 on a 32" to 125%, its still a bit more real estate than 2560x1440 (that would be a scaling to 150%). but you get the sharper image in any case.
Man, I know investing in a nice monitor is a good thing, but seeing you use it as the same resolution as the 49" at $1,300 less hurt me a little. haha I'm still a fan of IPS, so I'd buy this in a heartbeat if it were a 144Hz IPS panel with G-Sync. Like you, I'd use it more for productivity and video editing. I went from an AW3420DW (3440x1440) to a 42" LG C2 and while OLED is amazing and the vertical resolution made video editing so nice, I just wasn't comfortable, so I'm now on a 38" AW3821DW (3840x1600) and it's the perfect sweet spot for me and the best option for me available. I'd even "settle" for a 5K2K 40" curved 144Hz IPS G-Sync panel but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
there is only one GPU handle this monitor 7900XTX a I think new M3 can handle too
@petrsonnenschein1881 There isn't a GPU that can drive this monitor to its FULL potential at all, the 7900XTX gets you some of the way, but how are you gonna mention that card and pretend that the RTX 4090 doesn't exist? M1, M2, M3... it doesn't matter - none of them are powerful enough and this monitor is wasted used as a second display for a Mac.
What kind of speakers are those?
Screen sharing is not that bad. If you're not just sharing a single app or window, Zoom allows sharing a freely adjustable "screen area".
I have the 38" Alienware ultrawide, and when I share my screen I just share an area that's roughly 75% of the full width.
What's the point of a light above the monitor? Wouldn't that just make it even harder to see?
Can the MBP already handle the full resolution of the monitor? I have read there are some issues with that.
It depends on the cpu. M1 doesn't support it with 1 cable. M2 does, but without hdPI. Even M3doesnt support that, so with mac we are stuck to use it with 2 cables and PIP.
Hey Jesse, love the setup. I'm curious about the keyboard you're using. Could you name the brand and model please? Forgive me if you've detailed it elsewhere but looking on your channel and Instagram and I couldn't see it, in fact it seems you've changed keyboards a lot, is there a reason for this? The mouse not so much, it appears you've almost exclusively used the mx master 3?
The white is similar to the GMMK Pro (layout), but a different one, not sure which one. The Black one i dont know, but the keycaps are Aluvia. The Alu version of GMK Olivia.
I just really like to try different keyboards, nothing wrong with any of them! The silver one is the Oneplus keyboard, black is IQUNIX Zonex 75.
I would love to see a Desk Setup Tour video❤
stay tuned :)
Good video from a user perspective, instead of regurgitating the numbers I seen 10 times already. And nice setup too.
My biggest gripe with all these new 4k monitors coming out is the GPU issue. For what I want to do I need a 4090 but only the AMDs have DP 2.1 (for when I do play games). FYI it's blender, the 4090 does 2.5 to 3 times better than the 7900 XTX on all 3 blender benchmarks. I can trade off 5-10% on a few tasks but over 200% is a deal breaker. Wonder if something will go horribly wrong if I had one AMD and one Nvidia in the same system.
Ugh really blows my mind. Any peripheral enthusiast could see the need for DP 2.1 coming, but somehow not a single soul at the worlds biggest graphics card company did? I can't really see an angle for them to hamstring themselves like that. The 5000 series is not due till Q4 24, but we have all these screens now and multiple 240Hz 4ks are coming Q1. The Asus 32" (matte screen so blergh) but the Alienware 32" OLED will be glossy and looks really good. Whoops ranting and going on sidequests... lol
Share screen using PIP. Looks normal to the remote person when the screens are split rather than sharing the entire monitor screen. Two cables from the source to the monitor.
FYI you can use a Ultrawide video chrome extension and it will make video actually full screen
TLDR: 90% watch my face in front of a camera with a blurry screen behind me, 10% watch my desktop
This guy deserves way more views
Hopefully the algorithm agrees lol
What is the little screen up front
Just ordered mine to upgrade from the G9. What curved monitor light did you snag? I want to upgrade mine!
Just added to the description!
Thanks mang!
What desk are you using, I'm looking for one with those exact dimensions
Legs from uplift, top is a custom build!
@@jchen_techcool thanks 👍
Doesn't your laptop have a Thunderbolt 4 port? Just get a Thunderbolt to DisplayPort cable and you'll be able to use full resolution at atleast 60hz, and maybe even 120hz with that laptop.
When Is Launch Date In INDIA And How Much Price It
Is it true that this monitor gets broken too fast?
What desk are you using? Is that an 80 or 84" inch, and how deep? That's my biggest reason for considering a 49.
My mistake - you gave the dimensions late in the video after I posted this. Still, what standing desk has those dimensions?
The Frame was from Uplift, their 4 legged version for the extra stability. The top was a custom build from one of my woodworker friends!

2k monitor, 1k riser.. what do you do for work
Hey Jesse, I run 2x5k monitors on the M1 Pro no issue. , You should be able to run 2x4k lightning cables into the two display ports and run them side by side.
correct & keep a small line in between , to bad no updates for CPU's on the M1, 2 or 3... Costly to get rid of the line
How can you run it at 240Hz?
Even with DP2.1 you do not have enough throughput for it right?
DP2.1 is maxed out at 77.37 Gbps afaik
At 10bit colour depth (3x10 because 3 colour channel):
7680 x 2160 x 3 x 10 x 240 bit bandwidth per second = 119.439... Gbps
At 8bit colour depth:
7680 x 2160 x 3 x 8 x 240 = 95.551... Gbps
Both are more than the cable can handle based on my understanding. Did I get anything wrong?
You need hdmi 2.1
@@jchen_tech But HDMI 2.1 has even less throughput (48 Gbps)
As far as the video playback not removing the black bars when you go fullscreen - that video had the subtitled burned into the bottom bar. The video stream resolution was 16:9, that's not going to magically make the monitor itself remove the bars.
MPV player solve problems with video output, supports youtube. I use it to output video on my 21x9 monitor.
What desk is that??
Where can you buy such a desk?
Good to see a creator centric view of this monitor.
The comment re sharing screens on things like zoom calls is an interesting observation, I’d not considered that previously. Is there no work around for that! Eg, create a smaller section of the monitor that is a more normal size/resolution that most folk would have and just share that? I’m sure what I’ve seen elsewhere was suggesting that this monitor is very flexible with the way you can divide the screen up.
There's a side by side mode where it acts as 2 monitors... side by side. Why no one uses it and then complains about not having it I don't understand. You just plug a second cable in and then hit a hotkey and it swaps between side by side and full screen in a couple seconds.
Outside that, most screen sharing lets you pick program windows to share, selected screen area, or monitors instead of trying to show all of your monitors at once. It's a super dumb complaint with easy, obvious solutions. The fact he said a guy sold him one because he couldn't figure out screen sharing is ludicrous.
Im a trader and have been looking at this monitor to use for trading and analyzing charts. Do you have any experience with that? Do you think it would fair well for the task? I have an AMD 7850X3D processor and an asus rog strix 4090 graphics card with 64GB of ram and an MSI MEG motherboard, so i have more than enough to push a monitor like this. I also enjoy gaming but I already have a good gaming monitor. I would like this monitor more for the trading and occasionally gaming on open world games like GTA, Cyber Punk 2077 or RDR2. Thanks
Can we discuss some possibilities of cooperation
i would love to run this but my 4090 is sweating just thinking about it and my laptop is refusing to make eye contact. if I'm going ultrawide I'll stick with the 49" even though that has only 1440 vertical pixels
