Samsung Launches Largest QLED Gaming Monitor at Gamescom 2017
Samsung Electronics announced it will “up the game” at Gamescom with the launch of the Samsung CHG90 QLED Gaming Monitor, the world’s largest gaming monitor that delivers an IMAX-style cinematic viewing experience (according to Samsung).
“Gamers can have a more immersive and realistic experience with the new CHG90 monitor,” said Seog-gi Kim, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “This is the latest in our series of innovative gaming monitors designed to delight users and give them an edge over competitors while also increasing their comfort.”
The Samsung CHG90 is the 49-inch super ultra-wide 32:9 HDR (High Dynamic Range) gaming monitor. The monitor has a 3840 x 1080 resolution and an 1800R curvature to immerse users in gameplay. It provides a seamless gaming experience, larger field of view and greater depth perception versus other gaming monitors in the market today. An over-sized screen enables peak performance throughout gameplay while the 32:9 aspect ratio allows gamers to see game scenes in their entirety.
A key feature of the CHG90 is the rapid 144Hz screen refresh rate, which provides flawless and smooth action scenes that can be adjusted to 60Hz/120Hz when needed. Other features include a 1ms (MPRT) response time, more realistic and lifelike colors with Quantum dot and HDR technology, and a game mode option.
Equivalent to two 27-inch 16:9 monitors side by side, the 32:9 super ultra-wide screen also provides ultimate multitasking flexibility. Gamers no longer have to worry about multi-monitor set-ups: with no bezels impeding the view and a single power cable for minimal clutter, gamers can multitask seamlessly. In addition, the Easy Setting Box enables gamers to partition the screen or display multiple screens of different sizes with just one click, and the Picture-by-Picture functionality allows them to connect and view input sources without degrading the original image quality.
The CHG90 also boasts an appealing design. It features a matte black body on top of a circle stand – a minimalist design that eliminates distractions, allowing gamers to be fully immersed in the game. The monitor features a hinge with a superlative ergonomic design, height adjustments, swivel, tilt and VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) mounting. The CHG90 supports two HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) ports, DisplayPort and audio out connectivity options. The CHG90 will be available throughout Europe, including Germany, following Gamescom 2017.

This 3840 x 1080 looks like very good replacement for my current triplemonitor eyefinity setup (5040x 1050).
Luckily most of my favourite games are tweakable and run well at any custom ultrawide resolutions.
Vertical 1080 is still suficient and not so taxing on GPU like 2160 lines.

Usability of wider FoVs is matter of personal preference in particular scenario/game.
Someone prefer narow Fov , another prefer wider FOV to use periperal vision.

Main reason for curved screens is because samsung made so many, they had to push them.
except for watching tv/movies, its virtually useless, as any line/square etc will be warped.
and even then, watch sports and look at the outlines of tennis/soccer/football fields etc...
not even talking about the low res, no real hdr, no sync for gpu, nor true 10 bit panel.
i might have to get a curved screen as the next one, as no one offers screens larger than 39" without it.
but hey, at least its the largest gaming moni in that aspect ratio.
