Samsung LC49RG90SSUXEN 49" Curved LED Gaming Monitor - Dual WQHD 5120 x 1440, 120Hz, HDMI, Displayport, USB

Product Information

Changed my Windows Desktop resolution to 2560x1440. Result: This makes MSFS look correct at 2560x1440 AND all other apps look correct as well, but it limits the resolution for my entire system instead of just MSFS 2020. Other similar 5k monitors are available, like the Apple Pro Display XDR, a higher-end and more expensive version of this monitor designed for professional content creators. The LG UltraFine 5k is another very similar option, but it's older and harder to find, and it doesn't have as many features as the Studio Display. While there are some ultrawide monitors in the mid-range price category, like the LG 34GP83A-B, most of them don't offer any performance advantages over the models you can get in the lower mid-range price category, like the Dell S3422DWG, which is very good overall and performs well for different uses. It has a 34-inch screen, so it offers less space than the LG 40WP95C-W, but it's still big enough to open windows side-by-side, and it has an 1800R curve that helps bring the edges of the screen closer to you. Finding thunderbolt 3 > Display port adapters that support more than 4k is difficult to say the least. And you need it, because that huge horizontal resolution actually is considered the "top half" of a 5120 x 2880 (5K) monitor. So that was kind of a surprice. 4K gear might just not support 5120x1440, even though the actual pixel count is less than a full 4K image. Again, not the monitors fault - just a general thing to consider before buying anything with this resolution.

Restructured the article to reflect current market prices and availability; added the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 as the 'Best Ultrawide Monitor' and renamed the LG 38WN95C-W as the 'Best Upper Mid-Range Monitor'; removed the LG 34GP83A-B because it's hard to find, and removed the AOC CU34G2X because it went up in price; renamed the Gigabyte M34WQ as the 'Best Budget Monitor' and added the Dell S3422DWG. This picture is with an older work computer and different monitor on the top left but it gives you an idea. I've been looking at a Ryzen 7 3800x or Ryzen 9 3900x build off a X570 board with suitable DDR4 ram (2x16 GB 3200 Mhz?) - but I'm not sure what will "fit" the GPU. Intel vs. AMD doesn't matter. Recommendations are very welcome The used market doesnt really provide any good 1080ti offers - but even when a new 3000 series is announced, we probably won't see the cards for a forseeable time - and is it expected that they will be cheaper or in line with current 2080 ti cards, while offering an improved performance? I could wait, but you can always wait another 6 or 9 months and get something even better One solution would be to centralise my main windows and have everything right in front of me, of course, but that, too, comes with its own problems. Windows' own window management shortcuts, for example, are next to useless because they're designed to snap things to the edge of a screen, and the monitor's own Picture-By-Picture mode is only designed to work with two different sources, not divvy up windows from a single desktop.It has two USB-C ports that each support Thunderbolt 4 and 96W of power delivery, which means you can easily connect a laptop to display an image from it and charge it simultaneously. While it has decent peak brightness if you want to use it in a room with a few lights around, it doesn't get very bright. If that's important to you, the LG 38WN95C-W is another option that gets brighter but has a lower resolution and worse text clarity. Still, while I'd hesitate about buying the CRG9 to use as my daily desktop monitor, its allure as a gaming screen is undeniable - at least for games that actually support it. I'll be doing a separate article on the very best games to play on stupid ultrawide screens like this in the next day or two, but as you may have gathered from that aforementioned Red Dead 2 piece, cor, what an experience. If you lower the settings far enough, virtually any card will suffice. How far you want to lower the settings will determine what card you can run. You won't run at Ultra unless you get a 2080Ti, and even then, you're unlikely to hit 120hz. However, lowering settings will net significant gains, as even dropping from Ultra to High can gain you 10% - 20%. I'm looking into finally upgrading my gaming pc, which is an ASUS P6T X58 motherboard with an I7-930 cpu and upgraded to a GTX 680 GPU. Its from 2010 - was the first Core I7 cpu available and its under heavy load with almost anything, but an upgrade to the GTX680 prolonged the lifespan of the hardware for what... 4 years or so? Most ultrawide displays have a 34-inch screen size, but there are larger ones up to 49 inches, which are known as super ultrawide monitors. On top of that, these displaystend to have curved screens to bring the edges closer toyou. When looking for an ultrawide monitor, it's important to consider what you need it for and your budget, as there are options available at different price points.

you could buy a 2070 super and get 60 fps at BF5 but i wouldn't recommend it as playing in 60 fps is very noticeable in shooters and you seem to be playing only shooters. How do you like the monitor? That's one of the monitors on my short list for my rig update this spring. However, if you aren't a macOS user, you canalso considersuper ultrawide 5120x1440 monitors thatare useful for playing atmospheric games as you get a ton of screen space. A 5k2k ultrawide monitor is another type thatoffers a good amount of screen space, andthey deliver sharp images, so these can help with productivity. Choosing which type of 5k monitoris right for you depends on your usage and budget, but it's important to remember that most 5k monitors are costly, so you won't find any budget-friendly models with this resolution. Would a 2070 Super be enough, or am I looking into 2080 super or even 2080 ti? Or is there a match with the RX 5700 XT?Ultrawide monitorshave an aspect ratio of either 21:9 or 32:9, providing more horizontal screen space than traditional monitors. These are great if you like opening multiple windows simultaneously. While many ultrawide monitors are designed with gaming in mind, they also offer good office performance, meaning they're great if you need something for work and play. There are also models designed with productivity in mind, as these tend to have higher resolutions and some additional features. Anyway, I don't game that much (maybe due to old hardware) - and when I do, its mostly Battlefield4 with a few friends. A bit of GTA5 and Far Cry 5. So nothing crazy, but the pc is now on its way out and I need some recommendations. I ask here, because I suspect that my monitor is going to kind of "set the path" regarding choosing a GPU and then a suitable motherboard etc that will fit that GPU.

So I am thinking of replacing all of the external monitors with a single 5120x1440 ultrawide. I'd still have the work laptop. I'd still need to get a KVM but it'll still be a lot less wires than my current setup. Naturally, having a monitor span the entire breadth of your field of view isn't always particularly practical. As I explained when I used it for playing Red Dead Redemption 2, HUD elements get shunted so far to either side of the CRG9 that I found myself constantly having to turn my head away from the centre of the screen to make sure I was pressing the right buttons. Or even What are the Top 10 affordable (best budget, best cheap, or even best expensive!!!) 5120x1440 Monitor available? Etc. Restructured article to reflect how people are looking for ultrawide monitors; removed the 'Best Gaming' and 'Best Super Ultrawide' categories because it doesn't fit into the scope of the article; added the Dell S3422DWG and replaced the Gigabyte M34WQ with the HP OMEN 34c because the Gigabyte is becoming hard to find; updated Notable Mentions based on changes. The best monitor we've tested with an ultrawide screen is the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9/G95NA S49AG95, which is versatile for different uses. It's considered a super ultrawide monitor because it has a 49-inch screen and a 32:9 aspect ratio, equivalent to placing two 27-inch monitors side-by-side. This provides a lot of screen space for multitasking, and it has an aggressive 1000R curve that brings the edges of the screen closer to you. Still, it may take some time to get used to, especially if you aren't used to curved screens.

Sounds like the common ground here is that the full 5120x1440 resolution is hard or impossible to drive at full details, but with lower quality, a decent fps might be achieveable. If not, I can lower the resolution and gain a significant boost.
