Bloody hell thats huge!!!

1080p, no thanks. If the height of 15" is the minus the stand, that's just ridiculous.

This is such an obscure res, I don't know how that's going to work in games. 21:9 has issues as it is.

It really isn't that obscure, since it's an identical resolution to having 2* 1920x1080 monitors side by side, which people have been doing for many, many years.

I have a 34" 348q at the moment, but might grab one of these for a little bit of fun

Reminds me of the Angel of the North as I drive past it on the A1. Probably weighs just as much. Good luck with wall mounting that thing.

I've got an X34 and suddenly it seems wholly inadequate...

Is similar to having 2 monitors together.... You do forgot eyefinity, etc yes?
And while I will agree it if was 4K or 3840x1440 could have been better, is impressive at it is.

Yes, but I've been at 1440p for about 5-6 years now. Can't go back, impossible.

Is there a reliable way to figure out this monitor's dimensions? I feel like I may missed some obvious info and this might seem like a daft question...

They're given as 15.02 x 47.36 x 20.68 in, with the height being the only questionable one there as it doesn't indicate if it includes the stand or not, but 15" will be the depth, so the height I would suspect is 20.68" with stand.

Sibbers · 15 Jun 2017 at 17:10

Thanks. That does seem a bit on the small side - it seems like two 24" 1080p screens together would actually be slightly taller?

[ui]ICEMAN · 15 Jun 2017 at 19:29

Doesn't seem overly crazy to be honest, since my PG348Q when it was on its stand is only 20" tall.

The PG348Q is about 14.5" tall for the screen only, including the bezels, and that's 3440x1440, so to see something similar for a 1080 isn't that bad.

Sibbers · 15 Jun 2017 at 21:00

Yep. You're right, it seemed smaller in my mind but this site helps put things into perspective.

Any word if Overclockers UK will get this monitor in stock anytime soon and how much does it cost?

Prepare to budget £1500 and you might have some beer money left over to drown your sorrows.

Amazing, so much want! Would prefer 3840x1440 but would forget that for the immersion. Bracing for the price :eek:

BlackDragon888 · 6 Jul 2017 at 21:23

On the Samsung website it says that it will ship midle August

wordy · 11 Jul 2017 at 15:35

That's an insane monitor!

Shame it's freesync, got a GTX1080 & bet it would be amazing with that monitor with gsync.

aoaaron · 11 Jul 2017 at 17:03

isnt the pixel density poor?

Would be amazing, and also cost £2000

Let these be a sale for a few months, Samsung tend to drop pricing after they're a poor seller.

Also I *think* they stated a Gsync one is coming, but I'm not 100%.
