This was an awesome video, the fact that you took time to make another video answering questions and being helpful to your viewers is dope. I respect this channel so much after this.

[@PeteMatheson]

Ah thanks so much Michael! It's hard work but when I got so many questions, it's difficult to reply to every single one of them so thought I'd save them all for a video response :) I'm loving making these types of videos - will plan to do more ! Thanks again man

[@Battleneter]

He still hasn't quite got it right around GPU's, the RTX 4090 will absolutely still be consistently faster than 7900XTX with this display (although a lot more expensive), however due to the lower display port on the 4090 it can't "technically" hit 240hs/fps unlike the 7900XTX that can. Neither card has the grunt to do this reliably however.

[@sam_yyz]

Pete your content is top tier for me, sincerely. You’re one of the most genuine reviewers out there and the videos are awesome quality (editing especially). Please keep it up and know that there are people out here that really appreciate the effort you put in. Cheers from Canada. 🙂

Finally someone who is giving some love to super ultrawides! I was considering making some videos but I don’t have the latest and greatest G9 but yea he nailed most of the issues it generated has such as some games support it and some dont and pic by pic mode cuts refresh rate in half

[@6packonlyripped604]

😴

[@V0lk]

All these superwide monitors are something you buy and then "grow into" as you upgrade. I've had a G9 for 2 years and love it. As I upgrade my hardware, I'll get more use from the features. Older games run great. Just wait until you're on a Nvidia 5000 series card.

[@dayjeremy]

My system was already top of the line before I got my first ultrawide. Hardly something that I'm going to grow into. If your system cannot handle 4k gaming, you should not be buying these monitors as your money will be much better spent on other upgrades.

[@mhm35]

Will I hate myself for taking the plunge on a 3060 Ti? 😂 I have been plenty happy doing 1080p gaming but hate it for productivity. So I keep weighing the idea of getting the G9 for productivity, putting up with black bars or downscaling resolution for gaming, and upgrading my rig to crank more pixels down the road.

[@Brambo_Gaming]

Very comprehensive review of modern day ultra wide, thank you for this

[@Niodium]

The daft 1m DP cable is a pain, but other than that, I’m loving this monitor. I’ve upgraded from an old, beloved 32” Benq 1440 screen, and I love having the extra space. I’m primarily using it for non-gaming uses at the moment, but it will also be a gaming screen. I was considering a second 32” screen, an OLED 4k one probably but I’ve always found 2 screens is a pain unless one is definitely subsidiary and off to one side, because there is always some sort of bezel right in the middle at the ideal spot for your eyes.

[@itguy5192]

Please anyone tell me, if we connect two PCs to this monitor, can single mouse and keyboard be used to handle both pcs without any additional button press, in short can curser move from MAC OS at left side to Windows OS at right side?

[@itsmetee466]

Fantastic video and follow up :)

[@PeteMatheson]

Thank you!

[@PCPAyLOAD]

If you would have paired your 7900xtx with a Ryzen 7800x3d or higher x3d CPU, you would have been able to use the smart access memory feature which without over explanation, would have boosted your FPS. Not up to 240 FPS fast but a noticeable amount.

[@galaxiedance3135]

This is the Ultimate Review. I can't imagine someone would need to watch anything else! Watching this, I could completely decide if this is for me or not! I don't need this monitor at the moment but it was great to see where tech has come. :)

[@joshfletcher3140]

[@ajkandy]

Hi Pete! Thanks so much for this review. Just curious, what kind of desk are you using? I'm currently considering this monitor and I have a 72" Jarvis standing desk that's starting to get a little crowded with dual monitors and some audio gear - I'm starting to think I need something around 100" wide now! Cheers.

[@mhm35]

I also am curious about how large his desk is. 57” screen plus those bookshelf speakers and the rig sitting up top takes up a lot of width I’d bet.

[@bassettbarks1]

Brilliant video mate

[@youtubekezza1333]

Regarding PBP refresh rates and the vertical line you can get rid of the line with nVidia's "surround" feature. It tricks the OS into thinking it is a single monitor of DUHD and not two UHD (4K) monitors in PBP mode, which improves the experience massively as the wallpaper, maximising etc works as if you had a single input.

[@lynchmob72]

Mine will be at my local Best Buy this weekend. For some reason, i couldn't get this monitor delivered to my house. I live in a city, near other big cities so that seemed a bit strange, but luckily Best Buy doesn't have that problem. Just a heads up to my fellow Americans ... the delivery date for the monitor arm he is using is set to arrive between Nov. 28th - Jan 26th. So be prepared to wait. All in all im excited to get it.

[@itguy5192]

Thanks a lot for all the work you do regarding this monitor. I am planning to buy it in the comming days but Im still worried about the arm. Could you please let me know what is the depth and the length of your Desk ? Just for me to get an idea

[@dylanoverstreet90]

I just wish we could get a monitor with this resolution and refresh rate along with productivity in mind. Things like built in Ethernet, power delivery over USB-C, and proper one button kvm to switch all peripherals and video input would be worth the 2k price tag.

[@dayjeremy]

Why would you need ethernet on a productivity monitor? The only ones the benefit from it are the monitors with a smart TV built-in.

[@redbaronlast]

@@dayjeremy Easy, you might need the fastest and most stable internet connection possible, which is always gonna be Ethernet. For example for very large file transfers. I had to wait 45min yesterday doing filetransfers to my workplace server (from home). At around 300mb/s (over wireless). My ethernet would have been around three times faster.

[@RedLeo-pf9yo]

Great video !!!

[@PeteMatheson]

Thank you!

[@PenguFKnight]

Hi Pete, have you tried installing the BenQ Screenbar Halo on the 57”? I’m considering getting one but unsure if it’s ideal, given the size of the 57”

How is the G9 Neo for video/photography uses? what is the colour accuracy etc? I've been looking for a screen that will cater for my needs (40% productivity, 30% gaming and 30% editing) I have the 4090GTX

[@andriikhomenko4541]

I’ve bought this monitor for my M1 Pro. You can connect via hdmi and get 120 hz So I use pbp, one side via thunderbolt to display port (4k 120), second side thunderbolt to hdmi adapter and you need to flash a custom firmware for this adapter(not a big deal. It takes 30 mins) and hdmi 2.1 cable and you will get 4k 120 hz as well.

[@patrickheemskerk2649]

Could you provide some info about the thunderbolt to hdmi adapter you use and what firmware you needed to update? Thx in advance 🙏

[@Philomathe]

Hello, that sounds great! Which adapter are you using and which custom firmware? Also does it solve the « vertical line »/« color shift » in the middle of the screen?

[@ThePeterR66]

superb video. thank you

[@PeteMatheson]

Glad you liked it!

[@v3zMedia]

Just got the 49" OLED version and it's amazing after you you sit in front of it and get used to resolution for a day. My only issue so far is the DP Port is unusable and even the HDMI had weird glitches at times. Even using the cable that came with it. I ordered some VESA Approved cables to see if it resolves it. If not it may be an excuse to send it back and grab this one while it's on sale. 😅

[@slowinfastout3304]

I returned my 49 because of the DP. There’s a $999 non-smart version now which should eliminate port switching issues. Also been thinking of the 57 but the matte finish as seen here is a dealbreaker

[@marshinz5696]

The Cable is Garbage. Got a 16k certified one and the Flicker I always heard about vanished.

[@v3zMedia]

@@marshinz5696 yeah I got my new Cable yesterday and like you said the monitor is working flawlessly now. Samsung is better off not shipping them with a cable at all then allowing this to make their monitors seem like they're of poor quality control. Extreme stupidity by a Billion dollar company.

[@massaBeard]

I had the same issue, it's 100% your cable. Since you're using DSC, you need a really robust high quality cable. Mine has been working fine ever since.

[@v3zMedia]

@@massaBeard yeah it's been 5 days since I switched cable. Not a single glitche ever since. Haven't played a game on it yet but I just got Cyberpunk while it was on sale. I'll run this on my 4080 and hopefully there's still no glitches.

[@Tarbard]

I never understood all the people claiming you can't draw a straight line on a curved monitor, I assume they are just repeating something they read somewhere.

[@PeteMatheson]

I know 🤦🏼‍♂️ Guess it's difficult to understand until you've sat in front of a curved screen... I guess?

[@Tarbard]

@@PeteMatheson It reminds me of years ago people parroting that we didn't need monitors with high refresh rate because "the human eye can't see more than 30FPS anyway".

[@mytrung]

I work with two Mac’s for two different jobs and a pc for games. I’m looking into getting a dock that works with the full 8k resolution and getting more than 30hz. My thoughts are to plug the display port to my PC and use the doc to swap between my two Mac’s. Haven’t found a dock that works with 8k 120hz or greater. But also not sure if this is the best setup for this use case either

[@HarryDawgs]

Do you need an external KVM switch to swap between keyboards/mice between inputs?

[@jiakeliu]

How’s the sun glare? Since this is a matte screen it should be better than the glossy OLED right?

[@bartekbrodzik7134]

Can someone just make it clear for me because I'm not sure and I was about to buy this monitor. So right now I have a 16" MacBook pro 2019, will it be able to handle this monitor? I mean can I use it with no restrictions like PIP? What cables do I need for that? Another question is - I'm thinking about upgrading to M3 Max, is this one also able to handle that monitor? I don't need 240hz but will it work with full res and at least 60hz on both of these macs?

[@aziz100300]

how it performs with MacBook Pro M1 Pro? I am wondering what the maximum resolution and scaling are so far. The monitor would be used for productivity not gaming at all

[@SupanatGame55]

in gaming, does the picture scale looks reasonable or it looks funny with 32:9 ratio, should i buy it for gaming? or i should by normal 16:9 4K 240hz instead?

[@MassiveCompositions]

Do you have any idea as to when the monitor arm be updated to support this monitor?

[@InfinityFishing]

do you think laptop rtx 3080ti can run this monitor or should i go with 49 g9 oled?

[@WingsOfAnemia]

Hey Pete, thanks for the follow up! I have a g9 Neo, and my desk depth is 29”. Do you think that’s big enough for the 57”?

[@PeteMatheson]

That's deeper than my desk - so I would say yes BUT you may want the desk mount instead of using the stand, since the legs will eat into your desk space a fair bit!

[@WingsOfAnemia]

@@PeteMatheson Thanks Pete! I've already got the ergotron hx mount, and it's a game changer. I wouldn't use this monitor without the mount to be honest. That's all I needed to pull the trigger on this one. Thanks for your help!

[@undefwun2135]

Can you run a XTX for this display for gaming AND a 4080/90 for at the same time. The Nvidia might run my current monitors as secondary monitors but also be used for Blender and other workloads? Can applications like LR,PS,Davinci utilise cross brand GPUs?

[@H4GRlD]

PiP would be awesome on this if it supported 3 screens and let the user choose some layout presets. Anyway thanks for the video 😊

[@PeteMatheson]

Agreed! Not many will do 3 way PIP though :)

[@msisgreat]

Could you make a video to demonstrate the features of PIP? What's the maximum number of screens we can input at once? Does it support 3 screens or 2 screens

[@JasperDogZero]

Can you have two display port/hdmi cables from your gpu into the monitor, and then use pbp as if there are two monitors connected?

If gaming go with the OLED model, better picture quality, and lower resolution making it easier to run.

[@JustinGoffinet]

@petematheson at 12:20 you mentioned a reddit post for disassembling the included stand, it seems like that's only applicable to prior models, as the 57" stand's pivot joint seemingly no longer lines up with the mount on the ergotron arm bolt hole.

[@CThienV]

Any recommendation on what to replace a triple 24inch setup with? I still need a primary center screen/focus

[@bs_art3625]

Great video Pete, I'm hoping you can answer a question for me about the KVM capabilities. When working between two separate PCs in PBP/PIP mode, does the single mouse and keyboard switch seamlessly and automatically, like can you simply drag your mouse across the PBP border and start working on the other PC? Or do you have to hit a button to switch over the Keyboard and mouse input?

[@PeteMatheson]

Hey! Thanks for watching / commenting. You have to manually do this with the controls under the screen - Unless you install some form of screen sharing software on both machines. Logitech MX Keys & Mouse also have this built in so they can do this with their software between Mac & PC etc - works pretty well!

[@itguy5192]

The best arm for this monitor is the M VESA Deskmount HD Single 32"-50 they also have a version for dual monitors

[@simhawk3986]

I'm loving this monitor... I've had it about 2 weeks or so.. Didn't think I would like it this much. The 4090 is the way to go if you can afford it... The whole 240hz debacle is overblown because there isn't a consumer GPU from team red/green that can push this monitor anywhere close to 240hz at native resolutions or with upscaling options. 120hz is perfect for now.. when that 5090 comes out I will definitely be buying that in order to really push this monitor. Oh and I have no problem running PBP modes at 120 on each side in full 4k resolutions. Even when I had two hdmi 2.1 devices connected there wasn't any issues pushing the monitor at 120hz 4k. No HDR of course or VRR. But still that is the best way to console game on this monitor. Great vid as always Pete!!!

[@PeteMatheson]

Thanks for letting me know about PBP 120hz! I'll try it a few more times, every combination I tried always gave me 60/120! The 7900XTX does get there, but I think in some games you'd get better FPS with the 4090 at 120hz. I'm hoping to get the 5090 on release to try that out as well. Appreciate the comments, cheers for watching dude!

[@drunkhusband6257]

Even a 4090 isn't enough for 7680x2160, nor will future gpus. It's a dead end unless you like getting horrible fps in basically anything new.

[@MnDogman]

I disagree, if you like image crispness but don’t like the high quality graphics you can turn down the settings to get high fps 4k with a 4090 easily

[@drunkhusband6257]

This monitor isn't 4k though, it's dual 4k, 7680x2160, double the pixels of 4k@@MnDogman

[@MrDutch1e]

That's ridiculous to say it's the way to go when it doesn't get 240hz. Even if you're not getting the full 240fps you can get around 150-180 in plenty of games. It's not worth spending more for a GPU that nerfs your monitor. I'd rather get the 240hz and have the full available VRR range. Not to mention fsr/dlss exists.

[@BenAfia]

Hey @pete - I called Ergotron this week to see if there's an update on the new heavy-duty head and they said possibly March, and it could be a head, or a completely new arm.

Atdec AWMS-BT40 monitor mount officially supports this screen.

[@Harshthe007]

When using Amd graphic card please suggest the driver versions as well

[@MrBlackmidi1234567890987654321]

hi, which version of minecraft were you playing? Java or Bedrock (from the Microsoft store)

[@PeteMatheson]

Bedrock from the Microsoft store for this example :)

[@SchwertKruemel]

Can the M1 Max run the monitor at full resolution with a single cable? Even if its just 60hz

[@mytrung]

I’ve been thinking about waiting for the 57”OLED g9. If that variant came out would you switch next year?

[@PeteMatheson]

Heck yeah.... assuming I can sell this one and get most of the cost back. I hope! hah

[@mytrung]

@@PeteMathesonI don’t know why I didn’t think of that. I’ll likely do the same. Thanks 🙏

[@TheBruuz]

This mini-LED version is about 90% of the colors of an OLED. The question becomes, do you trade 10% increased color depth for the risk of burn in on a screen of that size?

[@pranze3484]

Hmm. I think 2x 34" ultrawide is wiser for now still. Pushing 3440x1440@120 is a sweet spot for gaming without overheating the room and within reasonable budget. Plus bare for sim racing, 32:9 is actually mostly a con, hud excentered, too much mouse travel etc. "Sweet spot" is a real thing an 21:9 is where it's at imho.

[@jumanjimusic4094]

You can use USB-C to Display port for the Mac M2 to get 120hz.

[@ramulus84]

Can you do a picture settings video please?

[@CptSaveABro808]

What webcam do you have mounted in the monitor? POS/NEG?

[@PeteMatheson]

This is an Insta360 Link. Best webcam I've come across so far!

[@user-mn4zo4vz5s]

Hey Pete please make a video checking geforce now on this monitor comparing to the pc

[@taizzle70]

Hey Pete so you got rid of the LG 45? Which one would you recommend?

[@PeteMatheson]

lol - I just re-bought the LG 45.... video coming soon! haha It will come down to what you intend to use it for though

[@vAnduCloudGaming]

Which video camera do you use to shoot your videos?

[@PeteMatheson]

Sony A7siii!

[@julestube2425]

@pete I stopped getting the the line down the middle when using 2 x USB C out to HDMI in port 2 and 3. I got it if I used usb c display port on one. Or if I used port 1!!

[@alwayslearningtech]

Could you run the M1 at 60hz in full resolution using it as one screen instead of 2? 60hz is all I need but the resolution is important to me.

[@oucftp]

not sure anyone here can help my concern before I make this purchase... I'm using a 2019 iMac (Radeon Pro Vega 48 8GB), is it ok to get this monster to work ? (7680 * 2160 @ 60Hz)? also the PS5 seems a issue to me .... @.@ thanks Pete for the awesome video ~~

[@x3merx3mer]

Can you use it at 100% scale in windows or is it too small? I ordered one and waiting to arrive ...and currently use my G9 49" at 100%, but curious if things would be too small

[@josephparry]

In theory it’s the same as 2 27” 1440p screens side by side, so if you can see one of those ok then it’s fine 🤙

[@macjee3485]

Any chance you can share your complete new PC build? Cheers !

[@alexispv8354]

Whats the experience playing Starfield in 32:9 resolution, any visual bug, latency or black screen in corners?

[@drunkhusband6257]

All 3d games are stretched a bit on the edges when I had my original G9. Switched back to 21:9 larger screen and cranked up the fov on games. Never any problems with 21:9
