Samsung is hoping to change the curved monitor with its new line of ultra-wide screen displays. The flagship of the three new monitors is a massive 49-inch wide HDR display, which is the company’s largest widescreen monitor. The CHG90 has a 3,840 x 1,080 Ultra HD resolution, which is almost the same as putting together two 1080p HD screens side-by-side. It comes with HDMI and Mini DisplayPort inputs but will need an adapter to work with the new MacBook Pro machines as there is no USB Type-C.
According to the South Korean tech company, the monitors (there a 27- and 32-inch models with Quad HD resolutions) cover 95 percent of the DCI-P3 color space, which could interest photographers and videographers. However, Samsung is targeting gamers with these models. They have 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time as well as four-channel scanning, which Samsung claims reduces motion blur. The company also claims the QLED tech gives these monitors brighter displays than OLED models. The CHG90 is available for pre-order on Amazon already for US$1,499. Shipping is expected to start on June 30th. If you’re interested in the smaller models, the 27-inch version goes for US$599 and the 32-inch goes for US$699.
