Samsung has unveiled a new CHG90 QLED Gaming Monitor with a slight curve in the centre of the screen, providing the user will a fully immersive experience, designed to completely immerse gamers in their favourite pastime. The screen has a resolution of 3840 X 1080 and an aspect ratio of 32:9. For comparison, ultrawide monitors have a 21:9 aspect ratio normal monitors have a 16:9 aspect ratio. The screen measures a gargantuan 49 inches diagonally.
The CG90 is part of Samsung’s gaming line of monitors that come with specs and features that gamers can appreciate, like quick response times and AMD FreeSync 2 technology, which helps your PC's graphics card communicate with the monitor for smoother gameplay without screen tearing or stuttering.
“Gamers want to feel completely immersed when they play, and our new monitors provide the most stunning visuals to deliver the ultimate gaming experience,” said Andrew Sivori, VP, Product Marketing at Samsung Electronics America. These QLED gaming monitors represent the future of gaming for both casual and dedicated players alike, and we’re confident that our innovative design and state-of-the-art features will enhance the entire gaming arena.”
The monitor will retail at around $1500 and is the first in a new category of "super ultra-wide" monitors. While it is aimed at gamers, this type of large screen is of benefit to those looking to multi-task. HP's 34-inch Envy Curved is a joy to use for even the most work tasks. The all-in-one computer is jam-packed with features, including Bang and Olufsen speakers.
Here are some of the CHG90’s important specs and features.
The CHG90 uses a VA LCD panel, which is an ultrafast panel with a response time of only one millisecond. That might not mean much to someone who mostly uses computers for work, but gamers who play fast-paced games could appreciate the CHG90's minimal response time.
It has a refresh rate of 144 hertz, which means each pixel can refresh 144 times per second, and makes for high-frame-rate gaming — if your graphics card can handle high frame rates.
It uses quantum-dot technology from Samsung's HDTV lineup for better brightness and color accuracy than regular LCD monitors.
It also features HDR10 for even better colors and contrast.
You can split up the layout of the screen with the CHG90's software, as Windows 10 doesn't have any settings or support for such a wide screen.
