Kogan's version of Samsung's Super Ultrawide 49 inch behemoth. These types of monitors are essentially two 27 inch monitors side by side, but without the bezels in the middle.
Uses a Samsung VA Panel with a 4ms response time
Freesync compatible and VESA mount compatible
Humanity has been known to push boundaries
no just your mum.
If we get a couple of these then we can do 360 surround display.
You must have a very narrow head
I guess the next natural progression for these types of monitors would be to have a 48:9 aspect ratio and 5760x1080p resolution, so like 3 27 inch monitors in surround without the bezels
that's what s/he said.
And it's only 1080p pixels tall, so you'd want to stack two of them on top of each other anyway I think.
Holllllly
Thought it was an ultrawide tv. Holy cow!
It's like the Goatse of computer monitors!
Aaaand post!
essentially two 27 inch monitors side by side, but without the bezels in the middle
Two 27" 1080p monitors side by side. I am looking at monitors at the moment, and general opinion seems to be 27" is too big for 1080p.
Personally I would just go for two monitors for more versatility and cheaper price.
It's odd though. I don't have any issues with 1080p @ 27" on my Asus IPS screen. Then again, I'm not sitting very close to it.
On the other hand, my friend has a Acer 1080p screen @ 27" which is VA based and it's noticeably worse in terms of sharpness and overall quality.
Obviously 1440p and 4k is better, but I'm starting to wonder if people that complain about 1080p @ 27" used a generally poor screen.
Most of us have used 1080p at 23" or 24", so that's why 1080p on 27" will look noticeably worse for a lot of people. It certainly does for me. 1440p is the sweet spot for 27", it doesn't require scaling at that size.
I used to think the same. Then I received at work an ultrasharp 24 inch 1440p monitor. My other 2 ultrasharp 24 inch 1080p monitors look really, really bad compared to it. When they are side by side you can really tell the difference.
I can see the difference as well, but it isn't necessarily bad at that size.
I wouldn't mind watching a (…letterboxed) movie or playing a game, but for doing work, a higher res monitor makes a big difference, even if the pixel pitch is quite small.
At home I have a 25 inch Dell U2515 @ 2560x1440, at work I have a 24 inch @ 2560x1440 (both IPS - I would never buy TN panels these days). The 24 inch is pushing it though.
I really do wanna try one of these ultrawide monitors though, to see how well multitasking would work, despite the reduced vertical resolution…
i have a somewhat cheap monitor, an LG 27mp65 . It's a 27inch IPS panel that offers 1080 as native , and doesnt list 1440 at all.
It really depends on how close you're sitting. With a screen this big, it's entirely possible you'll have to sit/lean further back, which would mitigate pixel visibility.
"Lucky" for me my eyesight isn't perfect so I can appreciate a larger monitor even at 1080p. I also finding moving between multiple monitors jarring. It seems they may have designed this for me.
Just switch to 31.5 inch 1440p. Very nice. Same PPI as 24 inch 1080p
Fair enough, but this is aimed at gaming, so you would have to deal with the bezels in the middle if you were to buy two monitors, which kinda sucks. But if you're using this as a regular monitor then its probably better to buy two individual monitors. Also, for me personally I don't mind 27 inch 1080p screens but to each their own
i think 1 ultrawide is more practical for work than 2 monitors, i have an LG 34" ultrawide and you can split the screen so it effectively acts like two monitors. No idea if this kogan one can do that that
You probably can but even if you can't there's probably software that lets you do it
Damn, bet me to it!
Same panel as the $1500 samsung one too!
Different processing tho.
Awesome was just after a new monitor to operate my Excel spreadsheets
Hello column ZZZ, there you are…
I wish it had USB-C to charge laptop whilst connected.
Have the 34" curved Samsung which I thought was big enough… but this is very tempting.
3840x1080
That's one crappy resolution. 1080 really?
As I said in the post, it's essentially two 27 inch monitors put together, so the resolution should be fine, especially for gaming
I thought curved screens went out of fashion?
For computers they are still very much the premium, as the user is typically in a single fixed position. They didnt catch on for TVs because multiple people view from multiple viewing angles.
Roger that.
Yeah they suck, I rather go for the LG 5K flat ultrawide monitor
Are two 27 4k curved monitors way cheaper?
Oh wait, 4k 49, then only 2 27 2k the same?
I wonder what its actually like to use… thats so god damn large
Giggity
I've been eying up an ultrawide to replace my two screens, but anyone know what it's like treating it like two screens with a curved monitor? Would have thought it'd be a little odd.
Also don't know if there's any software on the market to make that easier. LG has proprietary software that lets you set up your one big screen like multiple ones, so Windows thinks there's two (then turn it off when playing a game). Otherwise it'd get old having to use Snap a whole lot.
Display Fusion is what you need :D
I feel this could be great for office using. Not too much more than 2 monitors, but gives much better feeling. May not be good enough for image or video work, i guess?
Pretty much two 27 inch monitors. So you could put two full sized windows on either side, eg. a word doc on one side and web browser on the other and you don't sacrifice utility
I'm sure it's a decent panel being Samsung (so long as it doesn't explode or catch on fire)
Not setup/certified for design work but those people know what to look for. 4ms response is even pretty good for FPS games, but not the best.
Plus it has rgb at the back so that improves your gaming and productivity by a large margin
You mean this?
"sRGB over 99%
Delivers 99% colour space and gamut coverage. Play games in greater colour and never worry about inconsistent rendering."
EDIT: Oh this, lol:

@spillmill: Yeah. I don't really care about srgb or any of that stuff. So long as the panel isn't (profanity) and it has a high refresh rate I'm good
I’d use this as a TV but the res is all wrong!
Has to be 3840x1600! 21:9 please. Would fill the whole monitor with some nice movies. This is just gona have black bars.
You are after the Acer or LG 37.5" ultrawides in that case. Max 75Hz tho.
Lg 34” 5k would have preferred something bigger though. Still using my 40” philips 4k 3 years on!
Not in Australia yet but what you want is this https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34WK95U-W-ultrawide-monito…
I can Haz gsync as well ?
U can haz neg
Ewwww, VA panels with curved monitors, its like people love washed out colours.
And on the seventh day god……..
49 too big and you 'll get a tennis match spectator's neck
Since it has two independent outputs, can I connect both to a single video card and power the screen in an extended desktop environment?
I wonder if you can split it to show 3 x 1280 x 1080 screens on the one panel
Probably not under native win10, but you could probably do it with something like DisplayFusion where you can setup custom screen partitions.
I do this on my CHG90 and works a treat with three or four splits. The Samsung software was buggy so I went back to DisplayFusion.
Waiting for the hyper-ultrawide monitor instead…or mega-ultra-wide
