As of today (11/11/23), the Ergotron HX with the HD pivot does not support this monitor. The pivot still droops.

[@winstonrhock9021]

Easy fix just use a screw , coin or something to jam it in place.

[@techdude82]

Correct, you will need to stick a couple screws (I used drywall) to wedge between the gap of the HD Pivot bracket to keep it from drooping. No drilling required, but obviously this is not a supported or recommended solution direct from Ergotron's support. They are aware of the issue with this large of a panel, but so far there is no ETA as to if/when a heavier duty HD pivot bracket will be released. This is information I obtained from their chat Support off their website 11/20/23.

As of today (11/19/2023), this is best review on this monitor. What I liked about this review is that he didn't saturate it with arguments to help people like or don't like the product; instead, he gave you "raw" data and allowed you to comfortably make an informed decision. This is how a review should be done, really appreciate it. There were no personal preferences in his review, just data/facts. I listened to a reviewer today reviewing this monitor and he spent so much time talking about the "matte finish" of the monitor. I don't mind him bringing it up, but that's a personal preference, state it in the review on move on. Not everyone uses a monitor in a lit room.

Up until the point I watched yours, I was amazed at the stupidity of people to talk about the monitor while having their backs to it. You are the only SANE reviewer to actually work with the monitor, show the menus, the lights, PiP, scaling, and all those other stuff. Congrats sir.

You’re welcome, I always get that question in my monitor reviews so I made it a point to test for this one.

[@Noipion]

Struggled to find a good review about this monitor and you did an outstanding job in delivering it. Specifically on very different aspects that are important for me to consider buying it. That gave me more confidence to reconsider the 49 OLED Odyssey which is worth it to not at least lose its aspects given certain conditions like how this one does. I'm using BenQ XR3501 since close to its release that's like 7-8 years ago, give or take. I've tried many monitors and I'm glad I got this one and still using it because it's worth every cent I've paid for it. But now it started giving me horizontal lines which I haven't yet checked if it's my graphic card or it just aged more than enough lol. 2 years I'm searching for a monitor and just couldn't find a better overall than this. The only thing its missing is some more speed to catch up with the current generation monitors, have 5120 x 2160 resolution or higher (adding more inches if that's even possible), and an HDR.

[@FrancoDMatz]

Thank you so much for this video and review!!! I've been eyeing this monitor for a while but was failing to find a good review on it.

[@cybermuse6917]

Great video, and absolutely right about the PPI, definitely a non-negotiable for me. Still waiting on an DUHD IPS version for me though. Not super into 1000R curve so I'd be happiest with 120Hz+ at 49"

[@socialreport2836]

For this size and aspect ratio R1000 is much better than flat or R1500/R1800. People complain and miss this curve in G9 OLED, for example.

[@zurg5319]

great video!

[@AndreaTrocino]

I need to follow all the other comments, this is a proper review and clearly samsung is not sending this monitor for free to lots of other youtubers to get fake reviews either 😅. I have the 49 version which I use for my sim racing rig and I have a 34 oled alienware on my pc. I am super tempted to upgrade the sim racing rig to this given the bigger real estate e and the additional resolution, however I really struggle to swallow the cost of £2200 and having to go back to 120hz even with a rtx4090 (which on iRacing can easily do 200fps...). Also quality control issues seem to be super frequent with samsung (my 49 makes so much popping noises...) However there is no competition at this point in time in the market (and nothing similar on the horizon either..)

[@Dasbeerboots]

Why in the world would you want speakers in a monitor? Added cost, thickness, weight, and heat.

[@viber7464]

At this price point you can spend $20 on external speakers

[@Dasbeerboots]

@@viber7464 Please don't. Just get some proper speakers. Not some Logitech Pebbles. Vanatoo T0+, Monolith MTM-100, Kanto YU4, etc.

[@marco_evertus]

Absolutely correct. My desktop speakers blow anything Samsung could have done out of the water and it’s thick enough as is.

[@SWEBxAGAMEMNON]

I don't need speakers for 99% of my usage but on occasions I want to show something to a friend. Then it's nice to have any speakers at all, and I don't want to clutter my desk with an audio system that I never use.

[@dexterfretsing2055]

It continues to blow my mind people expect in-built speakers to come with their premium monitor. If you've got $2500 for a monitor, you absolutely won't be satisfied with a tacky speaker add-on. The quality just won't match; as you said it's merely added expense, weight, and etc. that would be bypassed. I mean really, I'm >$6k into a simple 3.1 audio setup already, and my sub cost as much as this monitor. I could add another $6k worth of surround. I don't want tinny crap tacked on to a top-of-class monitor; nor does anyone want to pay an extra $1k for a soundbar-tier system to come with this monitor, which it would need in order to do it justice. Anything less would be egregious, so they made the right move to not put them in. That's why Paganis don't come with cheap plastic cups or some such, but rather hand-stitched premium leather luggage, and nothing less. Better nothing than cheap crap.

[@CyprianUhri]

i came here just to say that your choice of background image is funny

[@patrickheemskerk2649]

Agree with many other commenters...great detailed review!! It would be nice if monitor manufacturers and monitor accessory (arm) manufacturers better coordinate with each other about the launch of a new product... now Ergotron e.g. is behind on a nice solution (they say they are working on a solution). Not every desk is suitable for the supplied standard...😕

[@HighTechCheck]

Thank you for your support Patrick, it means a lot. I totally agree, Not having a suitable monitor arm for this size monitor can be very problematic. I contacted ergotron and they said that they might look into designing one in the future? And its not even the whole arm that needs to be designed, thats what gets me. The arm that I'm using is actually capable of holding the weight of the monitor without issue, its the cheap head that connects to the monitor thats the issue. All they would need to do is beef up the same head they use for the 49in and I would think it would work. There is no way the majority would be able to use this monitor with the stand that it comes with.

[@Sikhotic13]

Any updated thoughts on this since you’ve had it for a little while? Also great video sir. Extremely in depth and by far the best review of this monitor so far. I recently went from an AW3423DW to the new AW3225QF along with a neo G8 32” that I grabbed on sale as a 2nd monitor and mounted them side to side. While the oled on the Alienware is stunning, I really missed having the extra real estate when gaming but didn’t want to go back to using 1440p 21:9 as I think that’s just a waste for the 4090. Also the Neo G8 has some serious blooming issues as well so I decided I’m just going to return both the Alienware and Neo G8. After watching this video, I honestly think this is the best monitor for my use case. Has two 32” 4k panels combined, 240hz and it seems like the blooming/white cloud effect is minimal at best while still maintaining excellent black levels. Mines coming in on Wednesday, excited to try it out!

[@seraphuziel]

Just saw this. got me to sub. thanks

[@user-ry5qm4jn2v]

so, for those trying to get 120 Hz when in BPP mode and have an Nvidia card, you need to scroll down to the PC section in the resolution setting of the NVIDIA control panel. There, you will be able to change the refresh rate to 120 HZ. For some reason, there are two resolution sections, the top being ultra HD, HD, and SD, which only gives you 60Hz and lower, whereas the section called PC allows for 120 HZ. I have an RTX 4090 and use HDMI ports for my PC and work laptop

Hello something i wonder is , how much big is the stand coming with the screen from base to top ? i don't find anywhere people talking about. Great review by the way👍

[@fussnote1758]

Thx for this video, it is very entertaining and informativ! I was thinking to buy such a monitor but decided to stay on a multi-monitor-setup (as I do for almost 30 years). The pros were, that the monetary spending was massively lower but the solution much bigger / wider. Actually I have a setup with a center-40"- (UWQHD) and two framing 32" ((W)QHD)-monitor(s). I can use a mediocre expensive GPU (6900XT) with an overall resolution of 8560*1440 in 2D and 3440*1440 in 3D. The workflow (e.g. management of windows) is easy, I do not need any software for it. Of course, the immersion in games is not comparable with the one of a curved and huge monitor like the Samsung of this video, but it is existing for about 1500,-€ and without any problems. To use such a huge monitor like the mentioned Samsung and to play with it, you will need to buy a rtx 4900, if it will sufficent @all, perhaps a rtx 5900 will be adequat, with all the costs u have to spend.

[@philharris9631]

I realise that this is now quite an old KZbin video and this comment may go unseen but if I could possibly ask a question... I have been wanting to get one of these monitors to use in PBP mode using an existing PC that has Dual DisplayPort outputs ... when using the monitor in PBP mode I know you said that there was "tearing" where the two logical displays butted up together when using HDMI and Displayport but was there any difference in colour balance between the two logical displays? I've looked at a couple of the 49" monitors and this has been an issue when driven in this way - there is a clearly visible line down the middle of the display where the two logical screens don't seem to be being driven by the same colour look-up-tables. If there is I'll just have to grab an Intel ARC or Battlemage card and run single DisplayPort from that. Hope that you see this after all this time...

At last someone making an in-depth review of the monitor. Great video sir. I can tell you that the biggest deception of this monitor is that 240hz mode is not working with gsync, regardless of what nvidia control panel indicates. I have been trying and trying to no avail. I’m at firmware 1003, I would like to know what has been your experience with this. I am also running a RTX 4090 and I cannot make custom resolutions either. This is the monitor of monitors but Samsung quirks are astonishing. No other brand can shit on a product like Samsung can. We would probably need a North Korean monitor brand to match the number of bugs that this monitor has. The only problem is that it is indeed the pinnacle of monitors. Just the game brightness is enough to replace any oled. I wish that a proper company would make such gadgets but it is only Samsung that pushes boundaries apparently

[@HighTechCheck]

Are you saying that 240 Hz does not work with Gsync? I’m currently playing RoboCop rogue city and the GS indicator is showing on the monitor suggesting that G sink is working. I’m on 51 20 x 14 40 resolution and on 240 Hz.

[@joanhernandezciriza3797]

@@HighTechCheckyes exactly. G sync is not working if any resolution/refresh rate is set on the 240hz monitor mode. You can quickly test this with the g sync pendulum demo. You will see tearing even though you toggle gsync on nvidia control panel. I’m pretty confident that you have the same problem and pretty much any one that bought this monitor. I caught this problem because I’m very sensitive to smoothness and I tried everything that this monitor has to offer. It would be great that you could put this to test and report back cause I predict a flood of complaints when customers get their hands on these monitors. It happens to the previous G9s according to forums. Thanks in advance and great video

@@tchlinyes could be the case but it is really strange that g sync works at the 120hz mode regardless de resolution and r refresh rate.

[@siomerpl]

Basicly you can have 230hz on PBP (split screen) :) You just have to add custom resolution in Nvidia Control Panel. On my 49 Neo G9 i created 2560x1440 with 230Hz because it wont work on half of the screen with 240Hz.

[@nappucentertainment3004]

another question - for things like Razer keyboards and mice that have integrated software for further control surface. How does that inerplay with the USB hub on the monitor. I believe you said earlier that devices plugged directly into the monitor can be used to control both systems

[@JasonMayes]

Can you play 5K centered and then 2 windows either side from other device?

Thank you for this great, valuable and useful review. I think I will go for this beast but probably with a 7900XTX for getting 240Hz support at native resolution, at least in theory. ;-) On the other hand I am frustrated about the poor RT support with AMD GPUs. Btw, at 26:18: It makes sense that native 4k (3840 x 2160) leads to lower FPS than DualQHD (5120 x 1440). It´s almost +1Mio. Pixel at 4k

Hello, I have a question about this monitor, I have a 4090 will i be able to run it at 7,680 x 2,160 120Hz with a 1980 x 1080 60Hz and a 2560 x 1440 120Hz monitors? thanks

Thank you for providing a very good overview of this monitor. I plan to buy this monitor for myself as well, and it's very important that both PC and Mac support it. I do not plan to purchase it until Nvidia's newer generation GPUs are out, which do not have those legacy HDMI and DisplayPorts, and I hope that by that time, Samsung will already have version 2 of this monitor out and Ergotron will have a monitor stand that supports this monitor. I hope it will be the end of this year.

Hello, regarding the mounting options stated @5:18, I actually went with the Atdec AWMS-BT51 for my monitor. It works great and holds my monitor well. However it's more of a set it and forget it type of mount, only allowing a single pole with clamp that would allow you to make adjustments. Assuming you do not need to move your monitor, this would work. It is however around $230-$250 so it may not be budget friendly.

Does yours have the issue of diagonal scan lines being visible on light colours?

I have a 4090 and I was wondering if it works with gsync or does the adaptive sync wori with AMD and Nvidia?

Do you have solutions for an M1 User to push more then 5K out ? or is it possible to run 2 x 4K would de M1 support that ?

Is it true that it doesn't handle sleep to wake up monitor activation and you would end up having to restart the PC just to get the signal to activate the monitor?

How can you run it at 240Hz?! Even with DP2.1 you do not have enough throughput for it right? DP2.1 is maxed out at 77.37 Gbps afaik At 10bit colour depth (3x10 because 3 colour channel): 7680 x 2160 x 3 x 10 x 240 bit bandwidth per second = 119.439... Gbps At 8bit colour depth: 7680 x 2160 x 3 x 8 x 240 = 95.551... Gbps ​​​​​​​Both are more than the cable can handle based on my understanding. Did I get anything wrong?

Love the review. Only critique is calling it "8K". It is only 8k wide and 4k vertical, so pixel density would appear the same as a standard aspect ratio 4k monitor

Can one PC treat it as two screens? I want to move from a two screen set up to one of these (with a mini monitor underneath)

Thanks. Would be nice to know how the monitor performs on a M3 max MacBook Pro.
