Samsung Redefines the Ultrawide Monitor!

Everyone loves an ultrawide monitor, with increased estate, immersion and muli-tasking capabilities. 2016 saw a wild increase in this modern product, with many outtakes by respectable computing companies. However, quite recently, Samsung has challenged the limits of the ultrawide market, with the CHG90; a stunning monster.

This new monitor truly puts the ‘ultra’ in ultrawide, heck, many are deeming it ‘super ultrawide’ to justify its epic proportions.  A 32:9 ratio is supported; to put it into perspective a normal monitor would be 16:9. Samsung has carefully designed the CHG90 to show that if done right, an aspect ratio of this size is completely possible. Firstly, to avoid much neck damage, a sexy curve has been implemented to make viewing all of its glory possible. Then comes the stand, a sturdy piece of steel to perfectly balance the hefty piece of hardware. Apart from that, the monitor is lined with impressive specs which will undoubtedly satisfy any gamer. After all, this is part of Samsung’s gaming monitor line up.

Sporting a resolution of 3840 by 1080 easily implies that two common 1920 by 1080 screens may be harboured onto the monitor. Pushing so many pixels would be a troublesome task, were it not for AMD’s FreeSync 2 technology which drastically improves visuals in its 178° viewing angle. The gorgeous display is also powered by Samsung’s QLED Quantum Dot technology along with HDR10. Finished off with a 1 ms response time and a delightful 144 Hz refresh rate makes this 49 inch monitor a treasure to behold by all, not just gamers.

Understandably, Windows 10 was never created to handle a beast like the CHG90, soSamsung has designed its own software to implement the operating system onto each pixel. The software is extremely user-friendly for setting up the many available ways the screen may be split; it ridiculously resembles a jigsaw puzzle. For any daring gamers out there, the $1500 CHG90 is available for pre-order right now on Amazon, but would this giant fit through your door? Is your room wide enough? Such questions have never been asked before when considering the purchase of a monitor.
