Samsung ready to ship incredible 49 inch gaming monitor

Samsung is now producing the widest consumer LCD available on the market. It’s a massive 49 inches wide with an aspect ratio of 32:9. To put this in perspective, most ultrawide monitors are 21:9, and normal monitors are generally 16:9.

Ultrawide monitors are a relatively new type of monitor and are manufactured with gamers and high-productivity business applications in mind. The resolution of the CHG90 is 3840×1080, which makes it essentially two 1080P monitors in one– Without the bezels interrupting the view.

Highlights of the Samsung SHG90:

• Quick response times of up to 1ms (1/1000 of a second): Motion blur reduction from the CHC90’s VA panel allows gamers to game without motion blur.
• Refresh rates up to 144MHz: Each pixel can refresh 144 times per second, which makes for super high frame rates if you’ve got a PC which can push games this fast.
• Curved display: Brings the edges of the monitor closer into your peripheral vision, thus requiring less head movement and more comfortable viewing angles.
• 178 degree field of view (FOV): This allows you to see more in front of you. Compared to the CHG90, viewing a typical 16:9 monitor is like looking at a scene with your hands up at the sides of your face, essentially putting peripheral vision out of play. With the CHG90, you see much more.

• Quantum Dot Technology: Promises up to 1 billion shades of accurate colors.
• HDR10 support: Some content is now being produced in HDR. The CHG90 supports HDR10 which promises double the perceived brightness and color perceoption of sRGB.
• Supports Radeon Freesync 2: This will be the first monitor released to support AMD’s new Freesync 2 technology. In a nutshell, AMD Freesync 2 helps HDR and wide color gamuts work better by offloading much of the work from the monitor onto the GPU.
• 20 step black equalizer: This technology allows you to see detail in dark, near black areas of an image.
• Audio-aligned Arena Lighting: Works with sound to add to the excitement of gaming by brightening the display as the game’s sound grows louder, which increases moments of high intensity.

For productivity and professionals, beyond looking downright awesome, the CHG90 opens up a huge display space for working. Professional photographers will get a super-enhanced color gamut for accurate color reproduction.

The Samsung CHG90 is set to ship in the 2nd week of July and sells for a $1499.
