Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 (G95NC) 57" Uber-Wide

morning mate, thanks really appreciate it. Unfortunately my table is glass and I don't think I can use the mount on table, I need a wall mountable arm that can take the monitor weight and the only one is the ergotron HX wall mount but this mounts pivot does not support the monitor well unless I jam the pivot, I think is ridiculous they have not provided an update for this arm yet, ergotron have just forgotten all the current customers.
I also need to replace my DP cable as the Samsung one is way too short. Only Issue is that I have read some DP cables don't work if they are over a certain length with this monitor. So I have to get experimenting by buying a cable and hoping it work if not onto the next one.
Hi I have the the Ergotron HX heavy-duty too and I agree why have Ergotron not updated the heavy duty version, there is a few newer DP cables that do work, I've preordered a DP80 but still to be released, try looking for a DP54 certified cable as that's the best I could find
hi mate
just encase you are not aware, I got email from ergotron that they have updated their pivot to support the 57" Samsung monitor. Need a new pivtot i believe. Its called a HX VHD PIVOT

It's a new arm. I looked into it and there's no way to adapt the existing arm. You have to buy the new version which is 350 to 450
oh that's bad news thanks for the heads up
I don't understand why as their existing arm can take the weight of the monitor. I suppose they have a mechanical/engineering reason for this.

Yeah they cite due to the design of the new arm there's no way to make a pivot for the existing arm. However if you want a good arm for the 57 go for the secret labs heavy duty one at 300 pounds which is designed to hold this 57
thanks for the heads up never new secret lab had a monitor arm. I would love to buy it but unfortunately I need something that is wall mountable because I have a glass table. I was thinking of taking the risk and mounting it with two large pieces of wood on either side to spread the pressure but if it breaks my monitor and computer will both come crashing down.

Might be cheaper for you to get a decent wood desk.
Also for future arm mounts etc.

Probably a monitor arm and the most flush ie 3 inch from wall is the ULTRARM

You can buy metal support top and bottom plates from the rainforest that work well
Has anyone bought one of these and regretted it? I’m looking at an ultra wide upgrade (currently for an 35”) and think my pc might struggle with being able to run the 2x4K. I’ve got a ryzen 9 and a 4700 ti Super. I also honestly wonder if it would just be too big. Due to limitations of my office I’ve got a desk depth of 80cm, would this or the 49” just be too big? 2x4K would be more screen estate than I’ve ever had but I’m used to multiple monitors and would ideally get something with a kvm built in as I run multiple machines.

Would also be very interested to know how well this works. Ideally during the day I’d run two computers side by side then be able to use another in the evenings.

I only regretted the matte coating, so if you're fine with that you'll be very happy with the monitor. Main reason I returned it when I used it as matte coating was too aggressive in general usage for my liking. For games it was amazing.
160x80 cm is my desk so you're fine in terms of desk depth as well.
Sorry appreciate its not easy to explain in text but what do you mean by "too aggressive"? Given that my use case will be ~80% development.

For my tastes on a white background only, everything looked too grey and smeary, usually why I don't like matte coatings on displays, but other people have had no issue with it,
I'm currently on a less aggressive matte coating and have no issue with it for the most part. I'd honestly still suggest you buy it and find out if it suits your needs. As it was incredible otherwise, If it had been glossy or oled I'd have kept it.
for me the matt coating is just fine and prefer matt coating if I am using it as a monitor for work. If its for development first then you would love the monitor, would have preferred it a little taller but still its much better than the 49" version.
Games look fantastic on it although it would have been better gloss for just gaming, on my development machine currently have a rx6950xt which is roughly equivalent to 4070ti you have and can play most games Ok on it if I turn some setting down with FSR and also don't expect 100fps+ on new titles, much newer titles may be more demanding. Development and reading text is a lovely experience and every time I turn it on I still go wow it looks great and so do games tbh. Playing games myself just prefer larger OLED TV for that but Elden ring, Sekiro, dark souls 3 and horizon zero dawn all look gorgeous in widescreen.
as was suggested you really have to buy and decide for yourself. If you go topcashback and register you can get 8% cash back also. I used it for my monitor last year and after few months eventually got the cashback.
