Rtings Review

The Samsung CRG9 is a good ultrawide monitor with an impressive amount of screen real estate, great for multitasking. It has outstanding peak brightness, even with HDR content, and it has great reflection handling, making it a good choice for a bright room. The CRG9 is also a great choice for PC gaming, as it has outstanding motion handling, excellent low input lag, and it supports FreeSync. Unfortunately, like most VA monitors, the image degrades when viewed at an angle, and due to the size of the monitor, it has somewhat limited ergonomics.

    Putting this one at the top of my Fathers Day list!

    • cnut on 29/08/2019 - 21:43

      All jokes aside, I have a 1070 with 3 monitors and it's working fine in most games.

      The 3 monitors have about the same res and were 10 times cheaper than this.

  • alexGoodwin on 29/08/2019 - 18:06

    it's basicly 2x 27" 1440p setup. very nice

  • AussieGargain on 29/08/2019 - 18:18

    I want chg90 around $1k

  • chrism238 on 29/08/2019 - 18:20

    Why the warning about October restocking? New model?

      Coz that model is too SSEXXY

        It's also too $$EXXY :)
        (For me anyway :( )

    • cz888 on 29/08/2019 - 18:40

      It's low stock everywhere, even in USA it's on backorder.
      I preordered at end of July, still waiting :P

    My prediction is this monitor will be under $2k come October.

  • Raynes on 29/08/2019 - 19:06

    like most VA monitors, the image degrades when viewed at an angle

    Are the screen edges in my periphs going to look awful?

      Why would you look at a curved screen on an angle….. :confused:

      • scuderiarmani on 30/08/2019 - 06:54

        Because a 49' screen is too big to see all at once unlike the 34 which is borderline. You can't help but relying on the curve to minimise it.

  • payton on 29/08/2019 - 19:06

    All i see is a Make an Enquiry button
    so, can't even buy this right now?

        that A7III Qantas Store price-error refund is burning a hole in my pocket =)

  • Pace210 on 29/08/2019 - 19:18

    just a question - why this over 2 x 27"?

    • jonathonsunshine on 29/08/2019 - 19:43
      +8

      cause you don't have a massive black bar down the center of the screen when you're gaming or watching movies?

      • cnut on 29/08/2019 - 21:44

        What movies run at this wide format? lol

        • scuderiarmani on 30/08/2019 - 06:55
          +1

          Well many movies are native 21:9 so 34s are ideal. 49 bit different….

      • IronOrchard on 29/08/2019 - 22:47

        I'd rather have 2x 144hz x1440p 27 inch screens than this..

        Shuart has the same config on his sim racing setup. Looks monstrously good on his little model mitsubishi cockpit

    I have this monitor.

    Some thoughts:

    Pros:
    Gaming is great
    The lack of central bezel really makes it feel more like a triple monitor than dual. Effectively, you've got 3 windows worth of productivity (left middle right).
    Works fine with 2080TI, can't attest to anything lower.
    Glorious FOV often in games with terrible FOV.

    Cons
    Nowhere near as good colours as IPS, like, really quite a bit off, compared to an IPS (I have a calibrator but yet to run it on the device). I had an x34 before this monitor.
    Reputedly pretty poor dead pixel policy. I personally do not have any (or haven't noticed any, at least).

    No regrets, but I will be in the market for an IPS version of this when that exists (and is not 4-5k).

    Also, think twice about buying from HN, they're awful. They are stuffing around quite a few people with orders. Basically, because it is a franchise deal, you seem to perpetually talk to people who have no idea. I bought at umart and have already used HN discount to get my difference back with a 28 degrees card.

    All in all, a great upgrade.

    Why being warn?

    So I got 3 monitors, which pump out 5,760 x 1080. 18.7" W x 10.5" high. Which would make them the equivalent of a 57" monitor if my year 9 trigonometry is right.

    They cost $280 for all 3…

    Yeah, there's bezels, but it's 1/10th of the price of this thing.

    • cortex on 30/08/2019 - 05:01

      What's the refresh rate on your 3?

      • cnut on 30/08/2019 - 09:22
        -1

        60 hz. Why would I need more when my GPU struggles to hold even 60 frames with three screens. 😆

        • cz888 on 30/08/2019 - 11:30

          probably need to spend another 1.6k for 2080ti
          This deal isn't for budget systems

            @cz888: Yeah. With those with a ton of spare cash it’s ok. But for us peasants a 1070 and 3 cheap monitors does about the same thing.

    • Arcticfox on 07/09/2019 - 18:19

      Can't you just let other people have nice things?

      • cnut on 07/09/2019 - 18:27

        Can’t you just ignore my stupid comments?
