Ultrawide Monitors are dead to me (LTT)

If people want to watch this guy then they can subscribe to his YT channel.

Do we really need a new thread for each of his vids, esp when the OP posts *nothing* but a link to the YT vid?

What's the purpose of this thread? To give Linus more clicks/hits? Are you affiliated with him, Grim? :p

+1. I had a 35' Ultrawide for a couple years and then thought I go back to 16:10 and bought a 43'. lasted less then a year and then I was back to a 38' Ultrawide again and I think that be my main monitor for years to come. Unless they come out with a curved 43', then, depending on price, I might upgrade. :p

You didn't watch the video

The point of the video was that that 48 inch OLED is a 32:9 ultra wide and standard 16:9 all in one. What Linus highlights is the absurdity at paying the same price for an ultra wide that only ever works as a ultra wide and is uses a forever inferior lcd panel when for the same money you get a screen that does it all with much better image quality for the same price

it is funny to see so many rushing to white knight overpriced monitors though, to be expected - partly why I posted the video is to have a laugh at people who comment without watching it
 
Have to say my UW has been relegated to the spare parts cupboard - between my 43" 4K 16:9 and 27" 1440p 16:9 144Hz monitors I rarely find something I feel like the UW would be an improvement to use over them.
 
Don't worry, in a few months time, we'll have a video raving about how great xxxx UW monitor is :p

Personally I love the UW experience, a lot of games I can happily play in 16.9 and often do because my oled tv is just superior to my 34" 1440 ips but some games just play and look so much better in 21.9. I must get around to creating a custom 21.9 res. on the tv.

Ah, never realised the LG CX were glossy. Yuck! are you meant to use them in a cellar?

Filtering for OLED on rtings shows only glossy or semi-glossy

I've had a 48 C1 on my desk for a couple of weeks and its as glossy as a glossy thing from glossytown if you added some more gloss to it. Then polished it.

I thought I had a weird horiziontal shadow on the screen until I realised it was a reflection of the back edge of the keyboard. On black loading scenes I can see me, which is fine as I'm gorgeous.

I solved it by dimming the lights a little and turning the adjust brightness according to surroundings setting on in the TV menu. Despite that and the low peak brightness with large white areas in HDR it's the best gaming monitor I've had.
