This 55" Gaming Monitor Changes EVERYTHING!

[@TR1B4L]

I work in a railway control room with 8 PC monitors around me with 3 PC's. It would make my work setup much more clean.

Work? Good luck getting this added to the budget. Yea I’m jaded.

[@xaviergall2233]

I did this for me as I worn from home with over three monitors. So know I can have three windows for my one pc and chromecast for relaxation. No borders between monitors is soo nice.

[@97BuckeyeGuy]

This is AWESOME. You really don't get a good feel for how large it is until the shot where you're putting onto the desk. That thing is HUGE.

[@gordug]

Got mine yesterday, the bass on this thing can be felt across the house

[@J-Goy1813]

The difficulties of blinking with both eyes at the same time made me spit out my chicken and rice. Ahh, that was too good. Also, are you gonna do a giveaway on this monitor lol. I am saving my money but my wife has told me no multiple times but she can't say no once I have enough allowance. Id appreciate the hook up ;). Can't blame a dude for trying. Either way, you are a legend in my book. Every time you grace us with a video I get a tingle in my belly of happiness. Thank you for being you.

Man as a developer I'd love to use this thing as a daily driver. I currently use 3 horizontal screens and 1 vertical.

[@ajnart_]

Really? I’m also a dev on a WQHD screen, split in 3 between chrome / vscode / app and I don’t know why I would need more. Also I think for us it’s way better to prioritize resolution over speed, like the 5k / 6k monitors

[@Almamu]

@@ajnart_ There's so much more I'd do with the extra screen real state... I usually need to have open: chat, chrome, intellij (multiple windows most of the time), project's documentation and sometimes the inspector... Having higher resolutions is not always the solution either, after 4k i feel like the higher resolution doesn't translate into more real state, mainly because scaling has to go up otherwise you won't be able to read unless you're really close.

[@nan_cat]

Finally a monitor large enough for java stacktraces

[@JoelCreates]

Now that is a substantial monitor

[@SteveAddis]

Great video. Ordered one from Samsung direct on sale. The packaging is substandard, not full foam. Base weighs like a ton in the same packaging. Well, the monitor had two full cracks down the middle. Not the shippers fault as the box only has a small marking at the bottom ends with tiny arrow for "up". They were saving on ink? Shipper laid it down so it would not fall. I will wait until this can be shipped without steel base and they mark to box correctly. This really looked promising for going full 4K.

[@trails247]

I have a perfect professional use case. We at work, use an internet connected network (email, teams, research) and a non internet connected production network. We typically have 2 dual monitors for each system. It would be nice to have this monitor for having a single monitor for 4 monitors instead of just 4 individual monitors.

[@FrederickMarcoux]

[@andrewmutavi590]

Work,play,stream n browse at the same time just got a monitor,hope that tech trickles down to more affordable displays in the near future

[@highbrassrule]

This is such an interesting proposition. For multi-tasking with a single system, can you use two display out ports from a single PC and have them be treated as 2 separate monitors by windows? I assume so. However, the aspect ratio of a massive 16:9 display is extremely compromised *in my opinion* when you start dividing it up. I have a hard time accepting that I will either need to play a game in a much smaller quarter of the display, not centered, OR, choose a larger game view with supporting apps like twitch or discord in smaller displays, and leaving unused display space to fill in the gaps. I think multiple monitor set ups just make more sense in so many ways.

I could actually use all this screen real estate tbh.

[@anthonyholmes5965]

It’s awesomely insane. I’d love to have one if I had a more traditional setup.

[@MedianRaw]

While Gen2 fixes many Gen1 issues, acquiring a Gen1 and adding a 31" BenQ in portrait mode is superior. This setup maximizes the Ark's panel, provides a dedicated screen for edits, and saves money. I am decisively opting for the combo!

Hey, late to ask but do you ever get motion sickness or eye fatigue? So tempted to buy this it checks all the boxes specs wise but idk man 55inch is so daunting lol

[@Hochiiiiii]

Hey brother, honestly the best thing you could do is check it out in store like microcenter. I don't really get motion sickness and any eye fatigue I do get is more likely due to me not blinking often enough. If it helps, I still don't regret my purchase to this day. All of my friends' 24 or 27 inch monitors seem tiny to me now lol. Cheers

[@MJDross]

I got one a few months ago. I am happy with mine. Getting the KDM switch to work is a bitchh but after a few days it's working ok. The Samsung easy setting box software only works with windows btw. So its not very useful if you on Mac or linux for multiple inputs at the same time. Samsung support is not helpful at all. if you have an issue just factory reset your TV and start over. worked for me. Very odd I don't see many non sponsored reviews. My guess is it hard for the normal person to get alot of these cool features to work and Samsung is not very helpful. Great video and I didn't see any bias at all. if you want to be real helpful to your viewers plz reach out to Samsung and let them work on easy settings app to work for all platforms or give better instructions on how to get it to work with all platforms.

That was my main question, can you change the size and layout of the different screens. And now it’s the coolest thing in the world

[@Artificial.Unintelligence]

Thats exactly what id want to know.. he touched on it briefly and mentioned things can be saved as presets but i guess i need to mess with it in a store or something. .. can i toggle profiles or something and how does it treat 'screens'? important because a lot of window snapping stuff is wonky on really large displays. ie having 2 horizontal 'screens' on bottom vs just one big widescreen on the bottom.. If i want a PC to be treated as 2 screens does that mean im forced to use 2 inputs from 1 PC and it'll be more clunky because of all the screen swapping? Profiles: I want PC 1 to be '2 screens' across the bottom, PC2 on top left, PC3 on top right. but then i want to swap to PC1 is '2 screens' top and bottom on the left, PC2 the same on the right.. what about swapping something to a large landscape mode as '1 screen'

[@mikebal7777]

I really want to be excited for this monitor, but even at $2,000 now, it is just too low resolution for the cost. It is essentially 4x 27 inch 1080p monitors. Sure the flexibility is nice (albeit a but convoluted how you need TWO removes is really really dumb as crap,) but I don't see a big draw to play in 32:9 ratio at 3840x1080...it really just needs about 50% more pixels; Because right now its ok for gaming, but way to low DPI for serious work. The 57inch g9 neo has twice the resolution for less money

[@stevengittleson7833]

I am really disappointed that Gen 2 did not include: 1.) Display port 2.1 2.) it’s 165Hz and not 240Hz 3.) Performance is still 1ms and not .4ms Question: if HDMI 2.1 a or b is limited to 120Hz at 4K, how are we supposed to get this Gen 2 to perform to 165Hz @4K? Thanks!

I wonder if you could plug two+ inputs from the same PC into the HUB for someone that wants the multi screen layout from 1 Computer but on a single Monitor.

[@pglennon1978]

I was interested in this for WFH. I want to run my personal PC and work laptop from the same monitor and possibly use the mouse and keyboard with the built-in KVM switch. Then I saw that you have to install Samsung software on each PC to use the KVM. No-can-do with the work laptop. Almost had me Samsung. Almost had me.

Sometimes, too much is too much! Why you need to select 4 different inputs? I get multiple windows.

use a software tool called barrier to share the mouse and keyboard across all 4 screens without the kvm switching.

[@thirtyacres7504]

I think I will need to buy a few ultrawide monitors that are not curved and stash them away. It's very difficult to find one that isn't curved nowadays. Thank goodness for LG. MSI still has one model floating around on their website that meets the specs that I want such as 1440p and 100Hz+. Majority are curved. It makes me nauseated. I tried to adapt, but I get physically sick due to the fishbowl effect.

I wonder how big is the screen when you set it in ultrawide mode. If its bigger than my LG 38GN950 this is a buy for me EDIT: So I looked it up and putting this display in 21:9 the screen would be 47" wide and about 20" tall. My 38" UW its about 35" wide and 15" tall. I'm drooling thinking about being able to switch on the fly. I must have this monitor now lol

Questions: Can the Odyssey Gen 2 one connect box that came with monitor work on one of Samsung's 8k monitors? I guess are all Samsung One Connect connectors identical? What I am looking to accomplish is taking in 4 different 4k sources and push it out to an 8k samsung monitor via the one connect. I almost bought a Samsung 8k last year until I found out their one connect box could not support 4 different video inputs. Which now that I am looking back was the same problem with the Gen 1 Odyssey Ark at the time. Another interesting question would be can Odyssey Gen 2 one connect box work on a Odyssey Gen 1 monitor. IE upgrade the one connect box without having the upgrade the panel.

[@azraelspeaks]

I have an older Odyssey G9 49". Thing is amazing. Wish it had mini-LED or OLED (I know the newest one does, but $1.2k is not in the cards right now). With work, I would LOVE to have all of my monitors on one screen. Best I can do it 2 and I work with it. Would be an amazing monitor to have. Maybe on my next upgrade in a few years, but this thing is amazing.

The fact that this thing weighs almost 25 lb more than my 85 inch TV is concerning. I just bought a Corsair Xeneon flex, and it only weighs about 30 lbs, and is about 80% of the size of this display. I am planning on buying a new OLED TV this year or next, and picking up the 85 inch OLED tvs, the only way about 40 lb. Mini LED is great if you don't ever want to worry about burn in, but they really have a huge disadvantage in weight. Hopefully Corsair can get a 4K version of the flex out this year or next.

Samsung should make a cheaper version without all the BS. It wouldn't be that much cheaper but it would be nice to save a buck on things you will never use, like 4x 1080p 60Hz multiscreen.

The only thing that upsets me about this gorgeous monitor is the low ppi. Even from one meter away in games, pixelation is clearly visible on dynamic light scenes. You can get used to it, of course, and not pay attention, but it's still a little uncomfortable

[@Artificial.Unintelligence]

Update/Edit -- EFFFFFFFF the proprietary software required.. this will be a NO-GO for people with Work devices that are locked down.. I cant put random software on as i please... WHY cant it just be done with buttons / selector switches on the giant kvm hub? Guess you can work around this with a separate KVM maybe for just mouse and keyboard? Also bummer that the input for even 2 sources is dropped to 1080 @120hz.. not even 1440?? yeesh, maybe not then if i cant force my less important screens to be lower res and keep the important one at at least 1440p and good specs. What if its just multiple 'screens' or windows from a single PC.. hows it handle that? is the spec dropped there too? 30sec ing: OKAY now i finally want one! that multi-input all at once thing is exactly whats painful about trying to use KVMs between multiple machines and multiple monitors.. it blanks out screens, there's delays, im having to hit a bunch of extra buttons tucked ON THE BACK/RIGHT HANDSIDE (jfc gigabyte whyyyyyy - i cant put 2 monitors side by side because i have to move my monitor for every built-in input switch).. I just want to see multiple workflows across different computers FFS. Considering how expensive a 4input GOOD kvm is.. boy is this tempting. Example: for 2 PCs and 2 screens - you need 2 inputs for each 'selection' and then 2 outputs for the monitors.. only recently have prices started to come down and something like that from a good brand is like $150-200??
