    Juicy, if I didn’t just get the Samsung 49 inch good guys commercial deal I would totally have gone for this.

    • Lance Miranda on 24/10/2020 - 12:03

      How much did u get that for?

        From what i can see, it is currently: $1486.00

        Yeah it’s $1486.00 plus delivery $35 (I’m in Melbourne but I’m not sure they’ll do pickup with commercial anyways) so $1521.00 total.

        Hi, looking at both ATM..

          Samsung is crisper. Requires less grunt to drive a clearer image. Sturdier product

    Resolution Simplified: 5K

    5120 x 1440 is Dual QHD
    5120 x 2880 is de-facto “5K”

    • Deal Or-No Deal on 24/10/2020 - 11:31
      +3

      Wish people would stop calling it 5K. Misleading when the res is the same as 4K.

      • scuderiarmani on 24/10/2020 - 11:35
        +2

        It's less then 4K but agreed

      • ruddiger7 on 24/10/2020 - 12:10

        approx 10% less than 4K. It's like those morons on youtube getting 3x 4K monitors and calling it a 12K setup.

      • nmartin84 on 24/10/2020 - 12:13
        +11

        It is 5K, there are two simplified naming conventions.

        XXXXp and XK.

        1080p, 1440p, etc are vertical counts, and 2K,4K,5K are horitzontal counts.

        A 5K ultrawide/super ultrawide is always going to be less vertical pixels than a standard 16:9 5K television/monitor.

        Calling 3,840 x 2,160 as 4k is also misleading.

      • jasswolf on 24/10/2020 - 14:36

        It's 5K by how that's defined, which is the horizontal resolution. It's a cinematic standard, not a hard and fast 16:9 reference.

        You're getting confused by TV and monitor marketing.

      • nmartin84 on 24/10/2020 - 14:30
        +4

        You had nothing to fix, 5K is a horizontal resolution naming convention.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5K_resolution

        The most common 5K resolution is 5120 × 2880

        Examples of 5K resolutions
        5120 × 1440
        5120 × 2160
        5120 × 2560
        4800 × 2700
        5120 × 2700
        etc.

        • Whiplash on 25/10/2020 - 18:44

          anything less than 1600 vertical is still peasantville. It's 2020 ffs.

      • AlexF on 24/10/2020 - 20:06

        AOC is calling it “Dual QHD” - Dual QHD displays ensure crisp imagery.. - if any one is best qualified to correctly label their own product, it’s them.

        • Boodek on 24/10/2020 - 21:24

          That's actually rather apt - (2560x1440)x2.

    Can a normal laptop handle this beast?

    I mean the laptop with GT740m graphic card?

    • stephendt on 24/10/2020 - 12:48

      You would need something a bit better than a 740m.

      • Tacooo on 24/10/2020 - 14:43

        Dunno why you got downvoted for saying that a seven year old mobile GPU wouldn't be enough to run this.

        • stephendt on 24/10/2020 - 15:09
          +3

          That, and the HDMI port adapter is unlikely to support it at 60hz. At best you could probably be force it at 30hz. The GPU itself is capable, it's just the port that is the limiting factor.

    • jasswolf on 24/10/2020 - 14:39

      In theory, it's fine for productivity and video, but you won't be able to do a thing in almost any 3D game you can throw at it, from this century at least.

      You'll want to double check the maximum resolution output of your device though. The GPU is OK (though it might not hit the max refresh rate), but the external connector may not be fit for purpose.

    • teereb on 24/10/2020 - 14:41

      Depends how you mean handle…

      It'll probably post bios…

      https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-740M.89900.0…
      "This includes support for up to 4 active displays. Furthermore, high resolution monitors of up to 3840x2160 pixels can now be connected using DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 1.4a if available. "

      You won't be doing any gaming, and the 2gb dedicated ram will be utilised in it's fullest doing anything even browsing the web, hope you have min 8gb in your laptop too. Might get away with 4gb, but ehhhh…

      Honestly if you have a laptop with a 740m and want to pair with a $1500 monitor, buy a newer laptop for a grand first to support it properly.

      Just my two cents.

  • scud70 on 24/10/2020 - 12:42

    Can these do PBP from say the same laptop source? (actually wondering if anyone used this monitor this way and is it any good).. Thinking if it can be used for work as well as gaming..

    • tehlee on 24/10/2020 - 13:15
      +1

      Yes - I do USB-C and HDMI.

      I switch between laptop and gaming PC often. The monitor has a remote control too so changing settings is easier than having buttons on the panel too.

      • scud70 on 24/10/2020 - 13:37

        Thanks 😊

  • hotstuff on 24/10/2020 - 12:42

    This or the Samsung. Not the G9?

    • O O on 24/10/2020 - 12:52
      +1

      Based on DisplaySpecifications comaprison, C49RG90 has a 10-bit 600 nits panel, while AG493UCX has a 8-bit 550 nits panel, C49RG90 wins on panel specs, but AG493UCX has a USB-C video input and built-in speakers which C49RG90 lacks.

      Since they are similarly priced, it depends on if you need a USB-C vedeo input, if not, C49RG90 seems a better choice.

    • jasswolf on 24/10/2020 - 20:07

      Save $500 more, because the G9 will drop below $2000 on promo some time in the next 3 months, probably soon (already has a few times in the US).

      Otherwise, I'd probably look at the CHG90 you're referencing, because it offers some level of HDR features and better performance. USB-C is the only drawcard for the AOC, but that can be fixed for any DP monitor with a passive DisplayPort to USB-C converter.

      • bejahi on 25/10/2020 - 06:12

        He is referencing the crg90. The CHG is 1080p

        • jasswolf on 25/10/2020 - 15:04

          I was referencing the same thing with the wrong model name. I meant the CRG9.

          • hotstuff on 25/10/2020 - 18:16
            +1

            @jasswolf: I probably should have been clearer, my pure laziness.

            I can get the LC49RG90SSEXXY for $1699.15 via EPP Samsung Store.
            The other option is to wait and hopefully see it below $1699.15 on black Friday.

            I was kinda considering the G9 but seems like a few issues with it. I do have MSI RTX 3090 ETA isn't at least the end of November cause MSI allocated stock is all gone for the first batch next batch isn't for another 2 weeks so it's on the way so it should drive this okay and I have time to wait.

            The prices have come down a bit overseas though with low stock coming through a lot of bricks and mortar stores aren't discounting as heavily.

            Mainly used for work but sometimes non-competivite type games.

            The games I do really pay at the moment are The Division 2 and Valorant. I'm not good at either but just something to destress.

            Has anyone got any other suggestions for another monitor?

            • jasswolf on 25/10/2020 - 18:55

              @hotstuff: There's been a lot of firmware and driver updates relating to the G7 and the G9, so I'd look into that very closely before ruling it out.

              I'd expect to start seeing heavy discounts now that stock is arriving here again, and this is the time of year when Samsung will typically offer discounts in our region, through to February.

      Picture by Picture is a feature that allows you to make use of multiple sources (e.g. from your laptop and desktop PC) simultaneously and display them on the same screen. Its commanding overview gives you more control and boosts your efficiency both while streaming, working and playing considerably

    It's nice and all, but at that price I want serious innovation the stands bulky, why not have the monitor slide out, so you can choose the width you would like, that TV isn't innovative enough for the price.

    And to start it off, at that price I'm not interested in monitors at all.

    Why the hell can't manufacturers just make a tile like oled sheet, and just Allow the consumer the ability to stick it to the wall, I know fabrication of 32inch oleds would be 2.5x more expensive then a 55inch, it's just a dam shame.

    Max resolution of USB C interface is 2560x1440@60Hz or 3840x1080@60Hz

    Ok that's definitely not a draw card. Get the CHG90 or Samsung G9 and use a converter. You'll only get 60Hz I think, but you'l at least get the resolution (perhaps more on the G9 due to DSC).

      The chg90 is not the same resolution. It looks bad.

      Get the crg90 which had previously been around $1600 at tgg.

      • jasswolf on 25/10/2020 - 15:04

        Again, I had the wrong model name in my head, I was thinking of the CRG9.

  • IamEzza on 27/10/2020 - 00:44

    In case anyone else was wondering, like I was, this monitor has the same vertical screen size as a 27" monitor and the same width as 2 x 27" 16:9 monitors.
    So basically the same as 2 regular 27" 16:9 monitors side by side.

    120cm screen width
    34cm screen height
