Is anyone else going to blow their wad on this!

[Turtle Rig]

Im patiently waiting for the Samsung 49" QLED HDR FreeSync 2 and 120hz @ 5120x1440.  Of course that will be desktop resolution and I will game @ 1440p.  THe monitor won awards at CES.  I am guessing it will cost 1700 dollars.  Who else can make guesses also who else is going to blow their wad on this upcoming monitor.  I know the day I see it available near may or june I will buy it.  Sure the price will go down but by only 500 dollars in 2 years.  Not worth it to wait.

How many times have you made a thread about this same thing? We get it, you want that monitor, and nobody else is buying it because that's way too rich for my blood.

What's wrong with buying 2x regular 1440P monitors? I honestly have zero interest in ultrawides, especially ultra-ultrawides.

Well the horizontal resolution is 5120 ,,,,, so its not really 2 QHD ,, but a single 5k.  No bezel in the middle and what not.

you're gonna regret not getting a 240Hz 1080p monitor and getting all the headshots

I cant play at 1080p,  When I had my 1060 6GB then yes I played at 1080p,  Now I play at 1440p with all nvpanel settings turned on set to max AA and all that stuff and in game settings at ultra and I get 160fps avg in Quake Champions.  But ya I see where your coming from kangaroo my friend.

I think it would be a good move if it is around $1700. If it is around $2000 wait for a sale.

 

I am planning to go with a LG 3840 X 1600 144hz monitor if it ever comes out and is around that price.

If . .and its a big IF, it performs well enough in the visual quality department, then maybe ill consider it

But...

Its still 1440p, not 2160p, which would be preferable. 

Its still LCD , and backlit, so its black performance, including black level, contrast, black and grey uniformity, will be critical. I find alot that LCD monitors lack uniformity quality control vs LCD TV's, so i wont be holding my breath for that aspect. Also viewing angles will be somthing to look at aswell it being a super ultra wide and VA.

Being VA its pixel response times will also be crucial. At 120hz it will need a 100% transition speed of less than 8ms, which is going to be very difficult for a VA panel. The fastest i can recall seing a VA panel Monitor run is 3ms 80% and 11ms 100%. For the most part only TN panels can get below 8ms at 100% transition speed.

To be fair if it can manage a low 80% transition speed, perhaps below 4ms, and a 100% at 10ms or below it would be 'good enough'.

 

Also price, i wouldnt pay more than £1500. Infact generaly speaking i wouldn't pay more than £600 for a LCD, BUT if it performs really well then i'd be ok going up to £1500, at this time however i have yet to ever come across a LCD monitor or TV that performs well enough to warrant such a price tag.
