I don't think this is a repost. My post is about the product showcase in IFA 2014, while this post is about the official launch...

[Silent_Xaxal]

I want to know the IO, price, VESA compatibility, and quality comparison with LG and Dell's offerings.

In that case it is a repost of a reposthttp://linustechtips.com/main/topic/224884-samsung-to-launch-27-169-curved-monitors-34-219-info/?fromsearch=1

But I'm still looking forward to some competition. Too bad It's va and not pls.

I want a 3840x1600 21:9 monitor so it fits UHD 21:9 movies perfectly

UHD Widescreen movies are 4096x2160 no? That would be 19:10.

 

EDIT:

 

Ultra high definition television 3840 × 2160 1.78:1 (16:9) 8,294,400

Ultra wide television (5k) 5120 × 2160 2.37:1 (21:9) 11,059,200

WHXGA (5k) 5120 × 3200 1.60:1 (16:10, 8:5) 16,384,000 

DCI 4K (native resolution) 4096 × 2160 1.90:1 (19:10) 8,847,360

DCI 4K (CinemaScope cropped) 4096 × 1716 2.39:1 7,028,736

DCI 4K (flat cropped) 3996 × 2160 1.85:1 8,631,36

 

EDIT2: Upon further Googling, it clearly depends on the movie and the directer's preferred style as with current cinema. 

Digital cinema 4K 4096 × 1714 2.39:1 7,020,544 is probably going to be Widescreen standard in the industry.

its like 1080p 21:9 is 1920 x 800, for the fact UHD is 3840x2160 and 21:9 movies are "cropped" down 16:9 so it becomes 3840x1600 or 1920x800 (assuming my math is right)

My understanding is that cinema uses (in widescreen) 2.39:1 which is 21:9. So 4096x1716 would be 2.39:1.

I'm not sure why we insist in giving up more and more vertical pixels... what is even the point? What can a 21:9 monitor do that a 16:9 one that contains its resolution can't?

 

not giving up pixels vertically, just adding to the sides. for example: 2560x1080 instead of 1980x1080 or 3440x1440 instead of 2560x1440

I see it more like 2560x1080 instead of 2560x1440 and 3440x1440 instead of 3840x2160. The prices are pretty much the same anyway, in fact the 21:9 ones tend to be more expensive.

You are missing my point, movies for consumer will be 3840x2160 or smaller. it may be 4096x1716 for theaters but not for the home market.
