At the current sale price of $1099 this monitor is a very compelling option.

I think the form factor is just a little to wide for me though.

Spending this much I would want something that can double as a media display for movies and this monitor and its aspect ratio would just waste too much space.

" It incorporates Samsung’s TV Plus and Game Hub platforms for seamless access to various streamed content libraries. It delivers shows, movies and games from powerful apps with expansion capability. "

any chance for a version of this monitor with out that ? maybe for a lower price ?

A large curved display does not replace having multiple separate displays. Try replacing the a use case of having a game in full screen on one display with system stats, discord, and various other info on a separate display, using just the ultra wide display. At best, you would be hoping the game has a windowed mode that you can drag around and then go through the annoying process of positioning windows and getting a less clean and efficient look.

theres already reports of other ultrawides like this (not this model ofc) "cracking" towards outer edges as no support for the outer edges and gravity over time is damaging them.

With picture-in picture or picture-by-picture modes the monitor can act as two independent displays with zero bezel. What you are describing is actually one of the greatest strengths of such a monitor.

I learned the hard way that the linked version of the OLED G9 on Amazon is not the same as the version reviewed here. It has a different stand and is not Gsync compatible. It only supports Freesync and there is no option to use it with a nvidia graphics card.

Late to the party, but using the PiP will downgrade the screens to 120hz non-HDR, do not buy this thinking itll perform as painted in the review if you're going to be using PiP

I'm looking for a wide screen display that supports three virtual screens to match my current loadout of 3 separate 22 inch monitors. It doesn't seem like this model will do that, it only has one mode for a one third / two thirds split?

Hi
I am looking for a monitor which I can use split screen and connect my Galaxy Book and MBP simultaneously to this monitor. Will this monitor do that?
