As always, thank you! 🫶

Thanks dude!

I’m playing on a 360hz monitor atm and feel like it’s too small. I thought 1080p would a good match since I use a rtx 3070, but I think I can still run 1440p pretty well. I have a 48” C1 in my bedroom for the ps5 and now considering the Alienware after hearing your feedback. Was it a noticeable drop from 360hz to 165hz?

@@EndoV2 the jump to 1440 from 1080 far outweighs the benefit of a 3.7ms difference between 360hz and 165hz. And just the overall brightness/contrast of an OLED panel is nuts. I have a 3080ti so i get it almost maxed out at 162 fps average in modern warfare 2. I really think a 3070 would have little to no problem pushing 90+ fps in most games at 1440. If your budget can stretch it try it out. If you buy from dell direct they have a 90 return, but I really think ud be surprised

just got the Alienware ultra wide... ya its unreal.

The 48 inch LG Ultragear has a setting to turn it into an ultrawide by putting black bars on the top and bottom of the display. I think 38 inch is the sweet spot, just waiting for an OLED.

Should have gone a bit tinier screen then 40" would have been awesome.

@@jasonstl636 Which makes it the same ppi or even lower ppi actually than this screen, so the only point of that is that you can have both, 21:9 1440p or 4k 16:9. But no Curve

4K ultrawides can never exist as the term "4K" refers to 3840x2160 which does not fit the 21:9 aspect ratio :P. That said 2160P ultrawides can very much exist :P He did miss pointing 3440x1440 is around 30% less demanding than 4K and around 60% less demanding than a 5440x2160 (2140P ultrawide) would be. ide) would be.

Thank you dude! Changed it up after a bit, and have something now that's super flexible!

😀 You know honestly, I think it's just a boat dog 🤣

damn, you just blew my bubble. I've been on the fence with buying this monitor for work as a Data Scientist but seeing that you said it's not good for coding is kind of a bummer. I wish someone would do a reveiw abuot the monitor that codes or works with data. I'm not a hardcore gamer, more of a casual when I have time but I was really interested in the monitor for the 21:9 aspect ratio since I work with Excel and Google Sheets alot and the 45" beats having two 34" monitors.

@@dta6 Get two UW monitors: one for work and one for mindless vegging out. The only reason I kept this monitor is for entertainment purposes. I mainly use this for playing chess, go, and soon, Diablo 4--coming out 5/1/23, watching KZfaq videos, and streaming some movies. This monitor is EXCELLENT for OLED quality gaming but bad for coding in Vim, working in MATLAB, writing scripts, etc...

I mean is it absolutely not usable for windows? Or why you can’t code on it?

I think the C2 Oled would be a good match for you. That's what I'm running for work and play and since it's 4k (unlike this monitor), you can scale it pretty large and still have good definition. It's also half the price.

I would buy this monitor and use it exclusively for gaming purposes, streaming videos, and watching movies in a home office. I would not buy this monitor for productivity purposes that deal with reading---low ppi but awesome for gaming. I bought this monitor at $2k when it was originally released, now this monitor is selling for $1400k. I use this monitor for entertainment and use my LG 40WP95C-W as my main with a ppi of 140-it is awesome for productivity as an engineer.

Absolutely, targeted perfection.

no. going above 27inch . 4k shud b min. otherwise there will b no clarity

@@CaptainScorpio24 do you even have a 4k 27 inch monitor. Fhd 27 inch is "fine" but clearly pixelated. qhd should be the new minimum if someones getting a 27+ inch monitor. 4k is good but again thats mainly for content creators/simple content viewing. For gaming its not as good as its harder to get enough frames and if u drop resolution the framerate is low

@@AgastyaXV yeah for gaming qhd is best ,i have top end benq 27 inch 1440p monitor which has ppi of 109 for 4k ppl shud go for 32inch size.. 4k at 27 inch is useless one has to upscale their text size to actually view the contents.

I come from a 720p 27 inch gameplay so... ppi is not something i get bored by 😅 I'm gonna get back to PC gaming and i can't wait to put my hands on one of these

haha i feel that way about 60hz, funny you have that feeling about 120hz. probably a case of "once you see it, you cant unsee it"

Thanks for watching! Going to add it in the description now.

Thanks Joey! I hop back and forth between two 34" ultrawides and a 4K 42" OLED. The resolution of the 45" Curved OLED is the only thing that might be a downside compared to a smaller 4K display. I'd personally first check out a 42" C2 and see if that works for your setup. Also - awesome game selection by the way!

That's what im debating on doing because the immersion from this monitor looks amazing but the higher resolution of the oled samsung could be a huge steal

@@RoccoSaldana I did end up buying this monitor. It's absolutely incredible. Took me about 3 days to get used to the curve and everything but I absolutely love it. It's aton of money...but man...I do not regret picking it up at all. I use it exactly for what you mentioned.

@@cloud9847 Ikr! I bought the monitor at $2k---now it is priced at $1.4k. Meh! My next project is maybe upgrading our main tv to an 85" OLED come Black Friday 2023. I recently checked out prices for OLEDs and prices have significantly decreased since my last TV purchase in 2020...

I’d be very interested to see a Gen 2 of this panel with all the downsides ironed out. It’s got a ton of potential.

when I saw this in person at bestbuy. It was wayyy to dim & just didn't look rite compared to the other monitors on display!!

@@RoccoSaldanaso if I’m strictly gonna be playing games I have nothing to worry about? Because I bought it didn’t set it up yet and all the reviews have me worried now

@@SmokeBlastt Yes! This monitor is best when doing recreational activities: playing games, streaming movies, etc…

@@RoccoSaldana ok good the complaints about the text and pixel density were making me worried I bought it for 1k so I got an amazing deal on it

Holy smokes! Great deal on you monitor!!! I purchased another one to roll with 2 LG UW OLEDS side by side when gaming. I paired the two to my 4090. @@SmokeBlastt

Exactly I think people don't realize how 240hz works. If you're graphics card can't push out 240fps what's the point of getting this monitor that's why 1440p makes sense. This monitor is amazing the 2024 version is even better.

@@RoccoSaldana sure that works. I am just saint that Text issues are a practically non-existent with down sampling, even in Chrome

more demanding on the gpu unless you are getting a new gpu as well

​@@nightruler666I just got the 2024 version last night. I didn't want to wait any longer, because the 5k/2k version will likely be out of my price range for quite a while after it comes out. I'm actually using it for mostly productivity, and some light gaming on the side. The text bothered me a lot the first day, but surprisingly not so much now. I'm loving it for video editing, and the curve is magical IMHO. I'm sure I'll get the 5k version at some point, but for now I'm happier than I thought I'd be with this year's model. I don't regret the purchase.

@@RADERFPV I got the 2023 version when it was on sale and for gaming I dont notice the low res text its a little noticable when you are browsing the web not as bad as many people making out to be.

Another consideration for sure! That resolution is definitely a deal breaker for most people.

How you can get a 240fps in 4k resolution? Even a 4090 cant manage to pull 240fps in modern game in 4k, BUT in 1440p it CAN. + this is GAMING monitor (gaming line) and 1440p is sweetspot for gaming

@@iDexy88 Who needs 240hz? Pro gamer used to play with 165 not many years ago and it was no problem. Everyhting above 144 Hz is buttery smooth. Marketing makes 240hz a good seller. People think they can make one frag more in a game with this. 1440p Sweetspot? It was 5 yeras ago. I have a 3080Ti and 4k, and play everyhing above 120 hz and pretty good I think - and its way more enjoyable too look at. Why not playing 960hz with 480p?? 1440p at 45 inch is ridiculous.

@@stephanekoto3967 can’t agree at all! Best of all, matt coating! The C3 is glossy… worst thing to work with. I love the gq900… best experience I’ve ever had!

@@stephanekoto3967 can’t agree! I work on this monitor with white background on 70% brightness in a well lit room… absolutely no problem! The monitor is perfect!

Nice! I'm still waiting to find that perfect sweet spot before I can justify the upgrade.

i ran a 3440x1440 for many years from when it first came out and the 1440 vertical is just too limiting for productivity imo. 3840x1600 or 4k UW sounds pretty good! i currently have a 48c1 but it's too big.

its because its designed for people that want to push 240hz, fps player and sim types no one will be able to push 4k 240hz unless its and old tittle on top of the line cards with out bs dlls3 that adds a ton of latency

I'm seeing it's coming in Q1 of 2025. 6 months out.

I don't have any oled screens in my house, do you think it would be too dim in my case?

I got a 4080 a few months ago after watching some tech videos showing the bottle necking of the the 4090 was causing some issues… it’s nice to hear someone with a 4090 post similar results… I imagine next generations cpu and monitors are going to be a better fit for the 4090 and whenever display port 2.0 is released. I am going to Best Buy to look at this monitor in person tonight. I’m currently hooked to a oled Bravia tv which is great but the input lag could be a lot better.

my 3yo IPS is starting to die in the corners (looks like dark spots, vignette) meanwhile my 2yo OLED is still fantastic

@@Indpendent01 my cheapest 20inch 6 yr old lg ips monitor wd hdmi is still working flawlessly. and its been replaced by benq 1440p 144hz 27 inch ips last Decembe as main monitor.

Reading text isn’t the best but you use it for games or movies, what it’s designed for.. it’s brilliant and amazing. Haven’t had mine a week yet and I’m loving it. My 4070ti is also pushing it perfectly. You’re able to look past that rough text after the 1st time using it.

That would be pretty hard to run on most gpu plus the price alone would be over around 3000 for monitor is just stupid.

@@GForceIntel true, but it’s an awesome monitor. I love mine. 🤣

thats pretty normal for YT videos

@@Indpendent01 Of course, but when you include PC gameplay it's only right to post in 60 FPS.

Yeah who even still posts YT videos in 30 fps lol

this is gaming monitor, even 4090 will strugle in new games@4K...1440p is sweet spot

New unreal engine 4k is going to be awful it is being nerfed by the upcoming unreal engine 5.2 look it up 4k gaming is dead

you will be sitting 5 feet+ from this monitor you wont be able to tell difference but your gpu will.

for the refresh rate, can't play an fps game in 4k and have much fun

Wtf is Retina display? Btw LG can actually build a panel that's 5120x2160 with MLA but which GPU would be able to push that panel past 120 fps ? None.

Retina is nothing but a marketing term used by Apple. It simply describes a display with a high resolution relative to screen size. What a display has to offer to be called "Retina" is anyone's guess but the marketing geniuses at Apple. The Perfect Gaming Monitor is a Micro-LED or Crystal-LED Display, maybe slightly curved at at around 40 inches with 240Hz IMO, these things are 10 years away though

@@OTNaugrim well junior, when you use one of Apple’s retina displays, you see what they mean. The text is so sharp it’s hard to go to the typical gaming monitor or crap resolution monitor afterwards. The text on most monitors looks blurry afterward. Retina refers to a high-resolution display technology used in their devices, including iPhones, iPads, and MacBook laptops. The term "retina" refers to the human eye's inability to distinguish individual pixels on a display when viewed from a normal viewing distance. The idea is that if a display has a high enough pixel density, the human eye won't be able to see the individual pixels, creating a smoother and more detailed image. Apple's retina displays typically have a pixel density of at least 300 pixels per inch (PPI), which is higher than the average display. This allows for sharper text, more vibrant colors, and finer details in images and videos. Apple achieves this high pixel density by packing more pixels into the same physical space on the display, resulting in a smoother and more visually pleasing experience for the user. Now see how much easier it is to just say retina?

From what I read this gaming monitor only has 84ppi. So using it for coding and massive spreadsheets and things will be annoying. If you’re accustomed to retina level ppi, you’re going to think you need reading glasses all of a sudden. I, like the creator of the video, dream of having a combined high ppi/OLED monitor with all those great gaming features. A 45” curved OLED at 300ppi is going to be at least $5000. Probably why no one makes one. The gaming community would laugh at the price.

I see but I don't see what Apple has to do with anything in this conversation lmao. He should talk about PPI instead of using bs marketing terminologies.
