Samsung LC49RG90SSUXEN 49" Curved LED Gaming Monitor - Dual WQHD 5120 x 1440, 120Hz, HDMI, Displayport, USB

Product Information

The display comes with a VESA 100x100 adapter for mounting it on a monitor arm. You will need a heavy duty one due to the screen's weight and size. Many games will show lens distortion at the edges. This will elongate objects near the edges and is caused by the game's FOV implementation. Some games are worse at this than others, some will not have this issue at all. If it bothers you, you can try to reduce it by running at say 3840x1440 or 3440x1440. Max refresh rate is 100 Hz. Goes down to 60 Hz if one of the computers doesn't support 100 Hz refresh rate. The monitor does not come with the screws for the VESA mount. According to the manual the correct size is '4.0 mm Φ, 0.7 pitch * 10.0 mm long'.

Can be turned on/off in the menu or per preset. Standard Engine = 70-120 Hz Freesync range, Ultimate Engine = 48-120 Hz Freesync range. The Samsung’s contrast and colour results remained consistent with the brightness toned down to a more usable 150 nits and with it ramped up to its peak level of 535 nits.However, the density level still isn’t able to match 4K screens – a 32-inch 4K panel sits up at 138ppi, and even 40-inch 4K panels serve up 110ppi. 4K screens also have more vertical pixels, and extra vertical space will be more beneficial in some situations. There are three customisable gaming modes and this smaller menu shows which key settings are selected Game HUD may go to the very edges of the screen. Makes for immersive visuals but difficult to read health etc displays. On some games like Witcher 3 it stays in the center as if the game was running at a 16:9 resolution. The display might make some noise on the right side. I am not quite sure what causes this because it doesn't occur all the time. It sounds similar to the fizz of a soda drink.

Samsung’s panel maxed out the sRGB colour gamut, so there are no colour issues with games. It covered 89.5% and 82.8% of the DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB gamuts, too. The former figure is fine for HDR and only half a percent behind what DisplayHDR 1000 demands, but the latter is a little low and precludes this screen from the most demanding colour work.However, if you have a the cash and feel like you would benefit from a 32:9 widescreen, the Samsung CRG90 is the best widescreen monitor out there right now, thanks to its image quality, HDR abilities and all-round strong design.

Many games run just fine with the full resolution and aspect ratio. Some like Control don't support the resolution out of the box but can be patched or config modded. When running games at 3840x1080 for performance reasons I recommend using a sharpen filter (e.g. Nvidia Freestyle sharpen or AMD Radeon Image Sharpening) or the display sharpness control to make it less blurry.

It’s an exciting slate of specifications, and Samsung says that this panel can be used for work and play – so it should be versatile. The 1800R curve is standard in the industry now – and it has a side effect of limiting uniformity issues HDR does better or worse on a per game basis. Works about as well as any edge lit 4K TV for movies and videos. The Samsung’s huge resolution also means that you’ll need a beefy graphics card for gaming. The CRG90 uses 7.3 million pixels, which is less than 1 million behind a 4K screen and far more than the 4.1 million needed by the Asus. Graphical demands will also increase if you want to use AMD’s FreeSync adaptive sync software.

This compromise is caused by DisplayPort 1.4 – there’s just not enough bandwidth. It won’t affect the vast majority of users, but it’s something worth mentioning. Similarly, HDR and FreeSync aren’t available in picture-by-picture mode, but that’s a peripheral concern.

The Asus’s vast contrast means that it’s a little bolder and brighter than the Samsung, although it can look a little too intense. Samsung’s panel doesn’t reach those levels, but it still has fantastic contrast – and its better colours mean that its images look a little more realistic. And both screens are superb when placed in the market; when it comes to colours and contrast, they’re better than the vast majority of other gaming panels. Compiled some info from various threads and my own experiences because this display gets a fair amount of questions here.
