      My desk is deep enough to support the monitor's size and after a brief adjustment window, I found that this is a great monitor for Rainbow Six Siege which also doesn't support multiple cameras.
      If your desk doesn't have 2 feet of clearance, you'd definitely be better off getting a 34 inch monitor instead.

      @@ravencloud6507 That's outdated if it doesn't have at least 4k or greater. Since today they are already rolling out monitors that are 4k to even 5k with along the best quality viewing as possible. Yeah this monitor is far too narrow. Specially for people who comes from a screen that are 32inch long. Looks like this monitor is the equivalent of 2 monitors together of a 27 inch so it is a BIG differences between a 27 vs a 32. I search around but not much in the market with super stretch monitors in good brands that are at least taller screens rather then narrow screens. Specially if you want it to be super stretch. When you search around such as Samsung.. Lg for monitors like that and you look at the specs how tall and how small and how narrow the screen are.. Most official websites gives faults or wrong measurements which makes no sense. Rather confusing.

      of course racing in VR still isn't a thing for many and won't be for a while, but if I want to use a hydraulic chair I'm not gonna trust even the sturdiest of supports to keep such a behemoth of a screen strapped on the setup without fear of having it fall on me one day or another. VR is still a bit too far from being the way to go for driving games in general but in this specific aspect it's just far more desireable on a mechanical standpoint.

      Daniel Fisher you did see the examples of this with 3 windows right? I also saw this in another review with 6. Yes it's 32:9, but that is doesn't take into account tech that allows you to break out multiple windows.

    • @danielgidoni
      @danielgidoni Před 5 lety +5

      What? "but that is doesn't take into account tech that allows you to break out multiple windows" EVERY monitor can do that. Has literally nothing to do with the monitor, that's software.

    thank you man, i was about to hit buy because right now it has like 34% discount, probably because of the new monitors that are teasing on samsung's page, but I saw your video, didn't notice it was a 1080p instead of a 1440p, now i'm looking for the updated model, but so far I can't find it for my country, i'll wait, overall i'm looking for an update on my 34" 3440x1440 HP monitor, you know, to give a good use to the new video cards
