Yeah losing HDR would be a big one for me too, which is why I mentioned it would be a good usecase for eSports gamers who might have a YT video, Discord and whatnot running at the same time and don't care so much about image quality. I think it's still a step in the right direction, though IMO...

Someone on Reddit with connections to Samsung was able to get some firmware release notes: https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/1akewie/57_g9_firmware_10053/kpkgktj/ That 3-way PbP feature sounds actually really cool. It seems to support 3x 2560x2160 atm. If they were able to...

Seriously? Even on an AMD 7000 series GPU and using DP 2.1? Does it work if you drop down to 4:2:2 or 4:2:0?

Even the Samsung CRG9 would do that and it doesn't have things like FALD backlights. I think it's the LCD being forced into a curved format and requiring a lot of rigidity that makes its plastic behave like that.

Maybe try building regions with Displayfusion? You can use it together with MS Powertoys FancyZones.

A few caveats to this. For example Vivaldi (based on Chromium) seems to limit the popout picture size to about 3/4 of the screen size. Why, absolutely no idea. Another issue is that you lose e.g YT's native video controls with chapter markers and so on. Something like this extension might work...

I hope Apple doesn't have a lock on that tandem OLED tech. I would love to see something like that end up in monitors and TVs to get around those low brightness numbers for larger window sizes.

How far away are you sitting from the QN900C? I owned the Samsung CRG9 superultrawide and the LG CX 48" at the same time and always struggled with the CX's height even at 1m viewing distance. I felt that the top 1/4 of the screen was always uncomfortable to use so I used it closer to an...

In what ways do you feel the QN900C is better?

Reducing chance for burn-in sounds like the plausible explanation. People using these as desktop monitors or playing the same game a lot are likely to cause burn-in so limiting brightness can increase lifespan, which means cost savings during the warranty period. Still sucks that they are doing...

Something like 160-180 Hz would probably be enough headroom for people like me who mainly play AAA single player titles. The only games in the past few years that I've played where 200+ fps were a reality were Doom Eternal and some Like A Dragon games. Almost through LAD: Infinite Wealth, and it...

That's been the overall problem with FALD though. Not so bad in TVs, but on the monitor side. I wouldn't mind if I had my pick of OLED vs FALD monitors in the 1000-1500 euro range, but it gets hard to justify that a FALD is worth 3000+ euros.

I'm knocking on wood because so far I've avoided the dead pixels completely, along with burn-in. Still hoping it lasts until something in the 50-55" size comes out that is an actual improvement. Brighter HDR, higher refresh rate would do it for me, but since I actually use it as a TV, I don't...

My take on the whole glossy vs matte is that I don't care as long as matte coating is not the awfully grainy type seen on some displays. I don't mind the one on my dual Samsung G70A 4K 28" IPS displays. All the other stuff are going to be more issues, but going back to 60 Hz is a tough one. If...

Absolutely. 8K would be better off marketed and designed for e.g programmers, stock traders, people managing a ton of different Excels and so on who need a lot of desktop space for work, and would probably pay for the right product, say a 55-65" Samsung ARK 8K. Instead they push it for "rich...
