Got mine 4 weeks ago, and I've been loving it, well worth the money considering nothing else like it exists. But yeah I'm getting the 4090 when it releases in 4 days, my 2080Ti with a DP 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 adapter isn't cutting it.

[@CameronVanNatta]

That monitor supports 4 inputs! I would totally plug my speakers into the monitor instead of the tv because I can switch inputs for my speakers too!

[@gabest4]

What do you mean no one uses the headphone on the monitor? That's the easy way to get the audio out of a console. Connect it to the audio-in on the PC.

[@a.j.haverkamp4023]

PCMIA connector is what you were looking for, later known as PC-Card. But looked more like an ultra wide SCSI connector to me.

Funny details is I recently bought that same Be Quiet system of yours in black. So now I know I would need to make space for it to stay visible, if I decided to buy the monitor :D

[@donbesho]

Hello i have same monitor and wana ask you somthing. While monitor is set to 165hz and game set on full screen if i alt+tab while gaming screen goes black for 3-4 sec or while i quit game also same. If i use window or bordless screen no issue , also if i change 165 hz to 120hz it does not have any problems , Also while i am using ark dial and going to game mode. , i can see HDR is off it must be on himself not ?

[@petemisc4291]

Yup, that’s what everyone needs, a 3500$ monitor to play games and go along with that rtx 4090 for only another 1500$

[@nichetcher1]

That farmer’s tan tho!!

[@ThePixelPopper]

I'm just suprised how difficult it was to pick it up.

[@ibvlik3637]

5:00 is not true. This display does not support multi streaming. You can only choose one HDMI input at a time to display. Anything else you want to display will need be through the built into the TV apps. You can not use thing as a replacement for multiple monitors.

[@ryanespinoza7297]

Which is really dumb when the odyssey g9 super ultrawide can do that and came out before this. This might as well just be a tv then.

[@Sir_Saul]

Imagine this thing supporting 3D just imagine..

[@tek_soup]

i use the headphone port sometimes, to run to a portable speaker, so all the audio of your inputs, just route to 1 audio device. After you plug in all your devices, you gonna run 4 separate audio lines into a mixer? Don't bash some things Son, people like you got our headphone jack removed from phones.

[@Xulrik-]

So funny. I built mine together alone and while I wasn't fun. The evaluation was two people or one meat cutter(butcher)

Why is it so impossible to make a 32” 4K mini led panel with NO curve and minimal haloing and a minimum of 1000 nits? 😅

[@AliComputering]

Who said impossible? SAMSUNG already made that kind u looking for

[@zivzulander]

Because that panel size is small for TVs but large for monitors, at least relative to the existing markets (most users still on 24" to 27"), so panel makers will target the bleeding edge on mass market panels where they benefit from economies of scale and can recoup their costs/profit. I personally want to see more higher spec 38" ultrawides for some of the immersion that Brett was getting here, but more practical size and viewing distance for normal desktop use.

[@chriskaradimos9394]

does not seem like a good monitor to me , it only has a pixel density of 80 pixels per square inch , this needs to be 5k at least , i have a 48 inch oled at 4k and still the ppi is too low .

[@Fighter4Street]

technically, you are not suppose to keep the monitor so close. You are suppose to keep it at least 30 inches away. By not having it so close the DPI can be larger.

[@eight2seven]
