Pros and cons

According to our monitor expert

QLED and High Dynamic Range provide vivid colors and high contrasts, letting HDR games really come into their own.
The combination of FreeSync 2 and a 120Hz refresh rate ensures smooth images without glitches.
With the picture-by-picture software, you can divide your screen in 2 parts. You can game on your left screen half with your PC, while you can watch a live stream with your laptop on the right half.
This monitor doesn't have integrated speakers to play music or hear game sounds.
This is a very large monitor, so check whether it fits on your desk.

Description

Immerse yourself in your favorite games with the Samsung LC49RG90SSPXEN 49-inch gaming monitor. This super ultrawide screen is the same size as 2 screens of 27 inches. This allows you to see the entire playing field and see enemies coming from miles away. Because the screen is curved, you can see the corners of the screen without moving your head. The LC49RG90SSPXEN has a refresh rate of 120Hz, so you enjoy smooth images. With 5120x1440 pixels, the screen displays images in more detail than comparable screens. If you have an AMD video card, FreeSync 2 prevents tearing and stuttering. The combination of the QLED screen and HDR1000 ensure vibrant colors and sharp contrast. You can easily rotate, tilt, and adjust the height of the screen.

Note: for QHD gaming, you need a powerful video card, such as an NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU or AMD Radeon RX 5000 or 6000 series GPU, an Xbox One, Xbox Series X or S, or a PlayStation 5.

Ignore your bank balance, ignore your girlfriend, buy this s

amazing image
High refresh rate
Productivity increases
Cable duct somewhat narrow

Well, what can I say other than that this is the ultimate display!

This exceeds all 2 or 3 screen setups. Not seeing edges between screens makes more difference than I thought beforehand. I used to have a setup with 3 screens, after a while you didn't really notice those edges anymore. And yet this is much better and more pleasant.

The colors are very good in my opinion. Not the very best HDR you will find, but still very beautiful. I like the color experience better than on my 2 year old Samsung TV.

If you want to work productively, this screen is the best you will find. With DisplayFusion you can virtually divide the screen into multiple screens. This really works very nicely. If you think you're short on space, combine the screen with an MX-Master so that you can swipe up and down between multiple Windows desktops with your mouse.

Building the screen was simple and can be done on your own. Although I can still recommend having 2 helping hands because the screen is heavy. (oh, crazy with 49")

The back-light (can be switched off) is also nice if you work in the dark, so I have significantly less trouble with my eyes in the evening.

The menu to change settings could have been better. Yet you will find everything in it. The 3 adjustable profiles ensure that you can easily switch between settings.

I think there are only two reasons why you wouldn't want this screen.

is that for whatever reason you might want EVEN better colors, despite this screen being really great already. And reason 2 is that this screen is simply pricey.

Still, I can't imagine that you wouldn't find this screen worth the money once you've used it.

Small point of attention: If you want to be able to play new games properly, get a 2080Ti. You might just get by with a 2080, but not for long.

All in all a real recommend for every nerd ;)

Good screen, unfortunately not suitable for office use

Screen is nicely designed
Build quality
Easy to install despite the size
Not suitable for office use

I bought the screen for office use. That was unfortunately a mistake. It is a very nice screen, with very good contrast, brightness, nice colors and good black values, no doubt very suitable for gaming and multimedia, but unfortunately text is not displayed sharply. Don't get me wrong, text is perfectly legible, but there's just a blurry edge to it. I've tried all possible settings on the screen itself and in Windows, but unfortunately I never got the text completely sharp. Some online research has taught me that this is probably caused by the sub-pixel layout that Samsung uses in its VA panels. Some people can live with it, others can't. Unfortunately I belong to the latter category... A few hours on the internet will probably not be a problem, but 8 to 10 hours of office use is unfortunately too much of a good thing.

Despite the recall from Samsung, still recommended

Image takes up almost your entire field of view
Brightness at 20% is already excellent, 100% replaces the solarium
High refresh rates
G-Sync flickering image, hopefully will be fixed with a driver update

After being out of the market for a while due to QA issues (loose display of the housing) suddenly back in stock at Coolblue and so I took the gamble. Unfortunately, the box does not show whether these have been rechecked, but my copy is free of backlight issues and dead pixels. There is only a hair-thin light leak in the housing at the top left of an inch, which you only see in the dark and if you go looking for it (and I mean really looking). Before the recall I saw pictures of screens where the display was half detached from the housing, so this is of a different order. I read on forums that many recent deliveries still have that light leak, but for me that is no reason to return it for the time being, especially since I don't have any issues further in the picture, which would be really disturbing.

Furthermore, this monitor is a feast for the eyes (not at 100% brightness, then you are looking at a radiant heater and you can feel it). After a few hours you are used to the size and the curvature and only notice how ideal this is; from every viewing angle you have the same distance to the screen, within games you have a lot of overview, and for work you can open 3 to 4 windows next to each other. I wouldn't recommend Word or Excel over the full width, then it will look curved. But you can't do that across multiple screens with a multi-monitor setup. I still have some flickering with geforce on and strong ghosting when the response time is accelerated, but that sort of thing will be solved with a firmware update and/or Nvidia driver.
