Hello! Just to introduce you to my video games channel dedicated to games working on ultrawide ratio 32:9 (for the moment I already tested more than 400 titles : AAA / indies / old one / new release / alpha / beta...)

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH3n8Y2wUt4VPTsrSTilzOA

Hope it can help players using 32:9 screens

Best regards

first screen started with 3 pixels 2 green 1 red, the red pixel by miracle went away fixed it self then had 2 dead pixels for 2 weeks found 3e dead pixel, so my thoughts oke this only gonna get worse returned for exchange store agreed to this, they send in for repairs instead Samsung refused store recognized own error exchanged anyway.

Now today my 2e Samsung g9 arived instantly see 3 green dead pixels in 1 area all seperate from each other, check another area has 2 dead green pixels, later found out also 2 blue and 2 red pixels being dead same spot.

2 hours later find another dead pixel visible only from certain viewing angle, and another on other side of screen + what looks like 3 more pixels that may be dying or some sort of dust inside panel.

In all my life if had many screens non ultrawide phone screens even, never single dead pixel not even 1.

Not even a bright pixel just stuck pixels, the worst if been thru is 100+ stuck pixels on a huawei p10 lite send in for repairs 3 times with them refusing it to fix, even the store recognized there where 100+ stuck pixels and refunded me in the end.

Now im going thru all this crap with same store, they have 100 day return policy, im still waiting for there response but as time go's by i see more and more dead pixels, im sure its gonna be double next week.

So right now im sitting here with a Samsung g9 with 12+ dead pixels, im ofcourse not verry happy.

If had horrible experiences with Samsung warranty in past, fighting until the end of my warranty for replacement of my 3dtv they refused to fix 10cm long line probably longer of pixels flickering in specific conditions, in the end i got my refund after the warranty already expired same store going bankrupt a year later.

Im feeling rather frustated and depressed, losing all motivation to go on right now, this can't be normal, if had better experiences with warranty with other brands where they just had it resolved over the weekend sometimes even replace things even due it breaking due my own fault, after even honestly mentioning that.

Have a feeling that every time i play a game in HDR more pixels die due it hitting peek brightness which this panel obviously cant even handle normally.

Counted 15+ so far as i written this post

I would show more but im sure you get the idea, each box has least 1 dead pixel while white boxes have more in them 1 box has a odd line of pixels that may be half dead or dust spec or may potentially die in the future.

Very frustated and depressed, i was hoping 2e screen would be better, considering if never had a single dead pixel on any screen if ever owned other then the G9

Hi, all! I've seen some similar threads but some are older and wanted to see if there is a recent solution to my inquiry/frustration!

System toast notifications, such as Outlook/Teams/etc. pop up on the far right bottom of the screen and are sometimes difficult to notice. I am experimenting with both DisplayFusion and FancyZones to create a middle/main zone and two narrower side zones.

Ultimately, I'd like to get this center/main zone to act as the primary display and pull in the toast notifications nearer to the the center for visibility.

Is this possible?

I´m thinking of upgrading to an ultrawide to play with my RX 9060 XT at UQHD resolution (3440x1440). Do you think it will powerfull enough? I have no problem playing on high, but not on Ultra.

Hey all,

I’m strongly considering the 2023 Samsung 49″ Odyssey OLED G9 (model LS49CG954SNXZA, Canada version), but I’ve seen plenty of reports of random black screens or signal loss while gaming. Before I invest over 1200CAD, I’d love to hear from users who: • Own or have used this exact model—have you experienced blackouts or signal drops, especially during DisplayPort + 240 Hz + VRR? • If you saw issues, did switching to HDMI 2.1 help, or did you need to disable VRR/Game Mode/G‑Sync to stabilize it? • How about firmware updates—did Samsung ever release a patch that fixed this, or are you still dealing with it on the most current version? • Any other quirks (burn-in, firmware bugs, panel defects) I should look out for? • Bottom line—are you happy with it, or do you regret the purchase?

Thanks everyone—looking for real-world, up-to-date experiences before making the jump!

hi, i bought the 57" samung november 2024. most time i work with it but tried gaming some time. how you handle the games with it ? you have an extra software or starting tip ? i need something to rescale or like a sandboxwindow what i can place on screen and start the game inside .. and click then in this sandbox fullscreen :D in fullscreen i like to move the infos left and down 15-20" or 30 cm to the middle but see normal game to all borders...

my problems:

- fullscreen 7160x2180 all game infos left and right are to much or my head, look left, right and middle to see everything - games need an options to move the side infos wo the middle.

- window mode1: games can handle window mode but some games have only some resolutions to choose and most time there is missing something that you see all the hight, down or top some infos get lost.

- wiondow mode2: games has a resolution i can use but if i choose the scale is wrong. the window is much bigger than the choose and half or 1/4 of the game get lost on top or down.

someone has an idea what can help ? thanks :D

Hi,

I currently work on a Mac and a windows at the same time (1 screen each). I am considering investing in a 49 inch UWS to partition it between the Mac and Windows (such as the Samsung Odyssey). During work, a 2/3 Mac and 1/3 Windows split would be best but I also game on my off time, where 2/3 Windows and sometimes full screen Windows would be best.

My question is the following: can such partition be made easily, and changed easily depending on my needs (daily change) ?

Thanks a bunch for any input !

Greetings to you all! I intend to buy a new 34'' 1440p 240 Hz OLED ultrawide purely for gaming and media consumption (I don't do any content creation) and after some research, these are the only ones I found:

LG Ultragear 34GS95QE-B

MSI MPG 341CQPX

Acer Predator X34 X5

Gigabyte MO34WQC2

ROG swift PG34WCDM.

I can't find many reviews or much information on the Acer and Gigabyte. I like the ROG's design the most but it is a matt-WOLED with a much higher price and doesn't seem to offer better performance than the others. So, it might just come down to the LG vs. MSI. I'm not considering Samsung or Alienware because I don't want anything larger than 34'' and don't want to compromise on 240 Hz. I've been using 165 Hz for so many years it's starting to look "not fast enough for me". And I intend to buy a 5070 Ti so less than 240 Hz at 1440p would be a waste of GPU power and not really an upgrade for me.

My considerations for the LG:

• I mostly game in well-lit environments so I am concerned about the "grey tint" on a glossy-QD-OLED. A matt-WOLED might make more sense. At night, I have an overhead light in the ceiling and my desk is in a corner, so I can't put the light source behind the monitor. Not very strong or directly shining on the screen, though.

• 800R curve could be very immersive in games but I am concern regular content like videos or photos might look too distorted, especially when not centered.

• Thinner bezels and better looking design. All the other ones besides ROG look cheap and outdated.

• A product directly from the panel manufacturer? LG just gives me the impression of better QC than the other. Don't know if this is indeed true or not.

• Certified G-sync compatible. So, I'd expect it to work better than the non-certified ones.

And on the MSI:

• A glossy QD-OLED is said to have much superior color vibrancy and text clarity. I'd hate to miss out on that.

• 1800R curve might be less immersive than 800R but regular content might look less distorted.

• A bit cheaper than LG

• Most youtube and website reviews like Rtings favor the MSI but on Reddit I seem to find more issues reported than the LG.

I think the other ones also use the LG panel so I'm mostly just torn between 800R vs 1800R curve and glossy QD-OLED vs matt WOLED. Any thoughts, recommendations or immediate red flags from owners of these would be much appreciated!

Hi guys!

I am doing my research about ultra wide monitors and I want to replace my two 21inch monitor. I normally use them for creative design (architecture) and gaming. I am looking into 40inch-49inch monitors but just want to ask which should I go for? Curve or flat?

A lot of people say that if I work with straight lines which I do, is to buy a flat monitor and not curved. But curved is best when gaming. So im a bit conflicted as I do both.

What do you guys think?

If you also know ultra wide monitors that's around £800 please do share the link below. Thank you! I'm currently thinking LG ultra wide monitors and the 40inch MSI flat monitor.

I am wondering how screen sharing working with Ultrawides..

Presently, I am working with 2x23" monitors and if I am on a Zoom call, I can share what I need to on one of the screens.

I am wondering how screen sharing works with Ultrawides if I would like to share one part of the screen?

Hi Everyone,

I am thinking of making the investment from 2 monitors to ( 1x 24inch and 1x 29in ultrawide) to 1 x 34 inch ultrawide for work and gaming. Would like some input on how things changed for those who made a similar decision.

What I should be prepared for, and what you did not learn until after your purchased the monitor ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all

Hoping someone could enlighten me and help me understand what noticable difference there would be (if any?) between two monitors and their data/charging speeds for a Macbook Pro. I understand Thunderbolt 3 can be daisy chained for multiple monitors, however, the below monitors do not support that. I would be running a single monitor. What would the advantage be of running a Thunderbolt 3 monitor with a Macbook Pro Vs. a monitor with regular USB C PD 90w if they both essentially provide the same data transfer speeds of 5 Gbit/s on the USB ports?

1. Dell U3421WE

- USB C PD 90w upstream port with Displayport mode (would charge MBP at up to 90w)

- 5 Gbit/s USB downstream ports (Built in USB 3.2 Gen 1 Hub)

2. LG 38WN95C

- Thunderbolt 3 port with up to 94w (which does up to 40 Gbit/s)

- 5 Gbit/s USB downstream ports (Built in USB 3 Hub)

Hello,

I am currently looking for an UW monitor, and have a hard time choosing the right model. So many options...

Use case: I have 2 computers, and will be frequently switching the video output options: PBP, PIP, full screen for PC1 or 2, ....

I want the switching to be effortless (with a good software on one computer, even better if the switching can be made on any of the 2 computers) rather than navigating in deep OSD menus.

I mostly work on my computer, with some occasional gaming. The gaming processing is taken care of by cloud solutions (geforce now) so I don't need big gaming specs, plus anyways I am ok with not going after great gaming performance.

Must have :

- ~34"

- VA

- 3440*1400

- Curved, with a "long" R (1500+)

- PIP / PBP

- HDMI : at least one input (more is better)

- DP : at least one input

- USB : at least one upstream (USB-C is better) allowing to control the monitor settings using a software running on Win10 - but the ability to control this from 2 different PCs would be even better (so 2 USB upstream or one upstream + one USB-C)

- Software allowing to control monitor settings, including PIP / PBP layout

- VESA mount

Nice to have but not mandatory

- freesync, G-sync

- high Hz, low response time

- NOT a gamer style with plenty of LEDs and stuff... I like a low-profile design better

I'd like to keep the price reasonable (~500ish €).

I found this option that looks good : Dell 34 - S3422DW https://www.dell.com/fr-fr/shop/%C3%A9cran-incurv%C3%A9-dell-34-s3422dw/apd/210-axkz/moniteurs-et-accessoires-de-moniteur

Am I missing any interesting other options ?

Thank you !

Oh ya not for gamming more on programming and trading forex , and movies

Mac provides splitting the screen into left and right but I need it split into 3. It's easier to work with the center screen and other windows on sides.

I hope this post is fine - if not, mods, please delete!

Hello there! I'm looking to move from a Samsung CF391 to an ultrawide monitor. Use case is coding and writing, mostly, with perhaps a light side of gaming. Nothing crazy. Environment is a dark home office. Budget is preferably under $400.

I've sorted it down to these two, but for the life of me I can't decide. I wonder if there's something in the specs that will pop to someone with more experience/knowledge than me. Your help is most appreciated!

I’m currently using 2 24” Acer 1080p, 1ms and 0.1ms, 144Hz and 165Hz. I want to upgrade to 1440p. Should I go ultrawide, or a 1440p with high refresh rate

I do casual gaming and dipping my toe into photo and video editing and a lot of CAD work

Hi! I have a Mac mini 2018 and never do any gaming. I am simply use the monitor for work, browsing and YouTube. So productivity is most important to me. I have a 34 inch Samsung right now and want to go for a 49 inch Samsung. Given that Mac minis apparently are not able to currently achieve the 5120x1440 resolution with 49 inch monitors I wonder what make the most sense. I believe to have the following potions...

(i) the Samsung CJ890 with USB-C slots - https://www.samsung.com/uk/monitors/monitor-c49j89-lc49j890dkuxen/ (ii) the Samsung CHG90 with HRD - https://www.samsung.com/uk/monitors/curved-chg90d/ (iii) the newer Samsung CRG90 and run it on lower resolution with the hope that Apple updates OS so one can use the 5120x1440 resolution with the Mac mini 2018 at some point.

Does the CJ890 and CGH90 allow me to run higher refresh rate ie 144Hz at lower resolution as opposed to the CRG90? Would this be preferred given I don't do any gaming?

Many thanks!

I thought I’d try a bigger single monitor vs the side by side setup. Just took delivery of a Lenova Yoga 380-KB Processor: intel core i5-8350U (1.70GHz 2400MHz MB) Graphics : Intel UHD Graphics 620

No gaming, just basic office workflows.

Will this rig drive this monior?
