The monitor displays HDR content with vivid color and excellent contrast thanks to the addition of AMD FreeSync 2, but due to its unusually wide aspect ratio, a standard widescreen movie will only fill half of the screen. Even though this monitor appears stunning at first glance, you should first make sure you can use the wide aspect to your advantage. also you can check our article on Samsung CHG90 review. Excellent VA-type HDR monitor with an impressively wide Double Full-HD Resolution is the Samsung CHG90. Its picture quality is above average due to its high native contrast, and the proper display of extremely vibrant HDR content is made possible by its extremely wide color gamut. It is incredibly responsive for gaming thanks to its high refresh rate, low input lag, and support for FreeSync 2. However, due to its odd size and narrow viewing angle, it may not be ideal for smaller desks.
Samsung CHG90 review: Design
The Samsung CHG90 (LC49HG90DMUXEN) will cost you a hefty fortune, but the good news is that its attractiveness alone justifies that expenditure. The body is a sophisticated blend of black and grey, with a metallic Samsung emblem and a brushed metal finish on the lower front face. The sides of the display also have a brushed metal appearance. The screen is best suited for a single user sitting 2-3 feet away and has an 1800R curvature, which is quite steep. The Samsung CHG90 fully took over our desk, which is more than big enough for a 27-inch monitor. This monitor does take up a lot of desk space. The upper rear features a noticeable vent, below which is the aforementioned ball-and-socket joint that attaches the screen to its height-adjustable stand. The socket has a stylish blue LED ring whose brightness fluctuates according to the game’s audio setting. With the light bouncing off the back wall, it’s a nice feature to have when gaming in the dark, but of course, you’ll need to pass your PC’s audio through the monitor for that. The monitor may be easily turned both horizontally and vertically, however the turning range is only 15 degrees in all directions. Due to its size and curvature, unlike many other monitors, this one is not intended to be used vertically, so there is also limited height adjustment. Thanks to a detachable panel, the stand itself has a clever cable management system that allows you to pass unsightly wires through it. You can use the included VESA adapter to wall-mount this monitor if you completely unscrew the stand.
Features
You will be laughing like a fool as you take in the absurdity of this 49-inch monitor, no matter how insane you may think a monitor this size and breadth is. Sitting in front of the stunning pixels on the Samsung CHG90 has a certain mystical quality. Blacks are as deep as the night sky and colors are vivid without being washed out thanks to Samsung QLED. As the cherry on top, the panel’s quick 144Hz refresh rate makes this high-resolution screen ideal for both playing games and simply watching your windows move around flawlessly. When we had Battlefield One and Mass Effect Andromeda running at full resolution and Ultra quality settings, the games were breathtaking to see. Having said that, we had the luxury of playing these games on a deluxe test rig from Samsung that was powered by an AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 graphics card. To make the most of the Samsung CHG90, you’ll need a high-end gaming PC. you can read our article on Samsung CHG90 review. It’s tough to not be impressed by the enormous amount of screen space the Samsung CHG90 provides. In our testing, we had space for additional windows and could easily run a dozen applications at once. You’ll become an expert at multitasking with the help of this monitor. We were able to divide the screen into six different sections using a desktop programme called the Easy Setting Box. The screen can be divided into three vertical panes or even two incredibly wide horizontal splits in a number of other modes. Users can explore and precisely alter how each section of the display is divided. Our open applications are divided up in this fashion, but unlike the Windows Snap capability included in Microsoft and Apple’s respective operating systems, it leaves gaps of unused pixels that we truly wish were smaller. Through the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu, you can select from even more screen splitting choices. For instance, the monitor could pull video from both sources and split itself into two identical 16:9, 1,920 x 1,080 resolution displays if you wanted to run two different computers at once. As an alternative, you could set up the screen so that games and movies would play in a 21:9 aspect ratio, leaving the rest of the monitor free for work or email.
Connectivity
The monitor’s strong stand has a good range of ergonomic features, including compatibility with 100x100mm VESA mounts, +/- 15° swivel, -5°/15° tilt, and up to 120mm height adjustment. Additionally, the monitor boasts blue LEDs on the rear, ultra-thin bezels, an 1800R curved screen for greater immersion, and a matte anti-glare coating to reduce reflections. Two HDMI 2.0 ports (limited to 120Hz), DisplayPort 1.4, mini-DisplayPort 1.4, a headphone jack, a microphone jack, and a dual-USB 3.0 hub are among the connectivity options.
Samsung CHG90 review: Performance
The Samsung CHG90’s input lag is only 4ms, which is hardly noticeable. However, the performance of its pixel reaction time is not as swift. Dark pixels blur noticeably behind moving objects in darker situations because they take longer to change from darker to lighter tones. Unless you’re primarily a competitive FPS gamer, this is true of the majority of VA panel gaming monitors, although it’s usually insignificant or bearable. The monitor is compatible with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, which synchronizes the refresh rate of the display with the frame rate of your GPU to give you tear-free gameplay. With compatible NVIDIA cards (GTX 10-series or newer), FreeSync is also supported through DisplayPort. When the “Ultimate” mode is chosen, the variable refresh rate (VRR) range is only 48-144Hz; the “Standard” option is only 120-144Hz. There are now three reaction time overdrive levels available on the Samsung C49HG90: Standard, Faster, and Fastest. However, only the 1ms MPRT motion blur reduction (MBR) technology is available in the Faster and Fastest modes. By strobing the backlight, MBR eliminates motion blur, but doing so comes at the expense of maximum brightness and cannot coexist with FreeSync. Your refresh rate must be set to at least 100Hz in order to activate MBR. Your frame rate should be as near to the maximum refresh rate chosen as feasible to avoid image duplications. As a result, it is recommended that you use either the Faster or Fastest mode at 100Hz after capping your frame rate at 100FPS. This also means that if you want to use FreeSync, your only choice is the Standard option, which is well-optimized for 144Hz but introduces minor inverse ghosting at lower frame rates (and therefore lower refresh rates).
Picture quality
Let’s discuss that resolution’s problem. The CHG90 will look a touch blocky and pixelated if you’re used to a traditional 27-inch monitor and sit an usual 50cm or so from your screen. However, given the size of the screen, you might be tempted to move it back a bit so that everything appears sharper. Those used to 24-inch displays, however, are unlikely to notice the difference very much. However, this screen is more for show because of how big and wide it is than because it’s the best way to fit as much resolution as you can on your desk. Consider Windows 10’s Snap feature, which enables you to rapidly make a window fill a portion of your display, such as half or a quarter. On most displays, it is just marginally useful, but on this one, you can snap a window to the side, and it will instantly fill the entire 1920 x 1080 side of the screen. It is really convenient for swiftly organizing and prioritizing your entire desktop because of this. Alternatively, picture-by-picture can achieve the same result using two distinct video sources. The overall visual quality is outstanding. The CHG90 should arrive ready to use because every display is calibrated before it leaves the factory; in fact, this was the case with our particular unit. The colour balance and gamma of displays that haven’t been properly calibrated are the two most frequent problems. A display can look bad due to other factors, but the majority are a result of the technology used or how it was put together. The easiest settings for manufacturers to change after the fact are these two. also you will learn our article on Samsung CHG90 review.
Samsung CHG90 review: Gaming
The game support for this display’s enormous 32:9 aspect ratio is surprisingly impressive considering that its resolution is double that of 1080p. While each game will handle resolution differently, most contemporary games will at least function. A great gaming experience is provided by the 144Hz refresh rate, FreeSync, and native response time, which Samsung hasn’t specified but is better than that of other VA LCDs we’ve used. To make the gaming experience more sharper and more responsive, this display also uses backlight-strobing technology to shorten the apparent response time. However, this cannot be on at the same time as FreeSync, and Samsung does not provide brightness customization while this is active. You can choose from three menu presets: one for desktop use, one for slower-paced games where having FreeSync’s image quality is more important, and a third for competitive gaming where response time is crucial.
Price and availability
Even with a 4K TV, that is an exorbitant price. You could get yourself three or even more displays at the same cost. The Samsung CHG90, on the other hand, features a panel that is arguably superior to anything you have ever purchased. One of the largest computer monitors available, the CHG90 offers two Full HD 16:9 displays with a resolution of 3,840 by 1,080, giving you the equivalent of two monitors for the price of one. But more on that later. The CHG90 is one of the best-looking gaming monitors on the market thanks to its 144Hz refresh rate and HDR colors. The 35-inch Acer Predator Z35, which costs $1,099 (£999, AU$1,799) less than Samsung’s 49-inch monster and has a greater resolution of 3,440 x 1,440 pixels, is a fierce competitor. The 34-inch Asus ROG PG348Q is also similarly sharp and costs $1,299 (£1,099, AU$1,599) less than the Acer model. Samsung still holds a slight advantage over its rivals thanks to its QLED technology and 144Hz refresh rate, while the Predator Z35 and ROG PG348Q only use IPS panels with a 100Hz maximum refresh rate.
Conclusion
A monitor with respectable image quality, a high-end design, good motion handling, and minimal input lag is the Samsung CHG90. The ultra-wide shape of this monitor, however, is what sets it apart. Because of these qualities, it is a good option for a variety of tasks, such as office multitasking or stock market monitoring, where having two monitors side by side is helpful. This monitor is ideal for gamers because it offers an unmatched sense of immersion thanks to its wide screen. This monitor is suitable for a variety of uses. It is a decently versatile monitor with excellent gaming features that should work for the majority of applications thanks to the above average picture quality. Although its extraordinarily wide format may be awkward to use, it creates a very immersive experience and can be helpful for multitasking.
