I just got this set up yesterday. I had a heck of a time updating the firmware. After several failed attempts I figured out that you can't use your mouse or keyboard if it's plugged into the integrated USB hub ports while the firmware is updating. A simple solution would be to connect your mouse or keyboard to your pc directly, or wait until the firmware update has completed. I hope I save someone the frustration of figuring it out.
Also, I can't find the eye comfort setting. I saw it in the menus as a demo before I updated the firmware, but it's missing after the update.
Does the monitor have a screen control app you can download?If so check there.
Hey man how is your experience so far?
Should have just gotten a lg c1 buddy same panel but way cheaper and honestly better
THANK YOU! I've been trying to figure this out all day. How do you like the monitor? I just bought it today and am testing it out, but will return it if It doesn't accomplish what i'd like.

What I've learned from these display reviews, Linus really likes How to train your dragon: the hidden world
I doubt that. As a fellow dad, he's probably just testing a movie he watches a lot
It's to test out the HDR. They have really good scenes where you can easily tell how good the HDR is on the monitor.
@@jabbahut755 he ven has said so, and i agree, that movie has one of the best HDR scenes because it was made like that to begin with, and it reaaally is a different movir with and without hdr
That particular scene is used by LG to demo their OLED panels.
That, and he likes to watch Blade Runner 2049 too (which, to be fair, is a fantastic movie).
I have got the LG C1 VESA Mounted and I'm never going back to another kind of screen setup! It's just so freaking awsome!! and also the C1 actually has support for 20-120 Hz instead of 48-120Hz! So its smooth all the way down to 20 fps so to say! and it shows! Love it!!
I have been using an older LG EG9100 OLED for years since it came out as my daily monitor for work and gaming, and I love it. I use an xbox controller for gaming, and sit on my couch with wireless hardware. I have zero burn-in, and it still works as well as did on day 1. I don't think I can go back to anything else besides OLED. I actually like the dimming you mention as it saves my retinas from blowing out with those ultra bright whites. It's most likely for burn-in protection. I'm surprised he can sit so close to this without turning the brightness down quite a bit. I would prefer a 32-34" for sitting without 3-4 feet, and am waiting for those.
have you noticed any screen door effect?

That's the problem, why does a box need an 8-step diagram on how to open it??
7467 hours of responsible use on a 48" CX as primary monitor and never a reason to regret it's selection. The picture still looks perfect and zero IR/BI, though I've taken routine precautions from day one to prevent IR/BI... A solid black desktop, zero desktop icons, and a 3 minute signal-off screen saver are all I've used in addition to the built-in features (ABL, pixel shift, etc.) Other than that, it's been non-stop gaming, streaming, and movie watching to hit 7000+ hours in only one year of use. Much of that time is power on with nothing displayed on-screen (maybe 1/2 to 2/3 of total power-on time is actual on-screen time). I'm actually kind of curious to see how long it will last before I can see a noticeable difference in picture brightness or quality. OLED is the pinnacle of gaming displays whether using a TV or a purpose built OLED monitor. I paid the same for the CX as this monitor, so there's no difference from a pricing perspective. IMO, I think I'd rather have the Smart TV features over a dedicated OLED monitor with no built in apps because I use it for both gaming and streaming.
That's an awfully long winded way of saying "I'm coping really hard with the fact I bought a TV to game with my pc"
Meanwhile I have had this monitor since day one of its release. I have thousands of desktop icons. I leave it on and running allllll the time. I can relax in my own home without fear of my pixels crumbling to pieces.
Because of this review, I scoured out for this monitor as soon as possible and found the last remaining stock in my country and hurriedly went to the store and bought it.
Best purchase I've ever made so far in my life! 😁 Been using TN, VA and IPS monitors for years and they does not come close to OLED.
For the longest time, i've always thought HDR was just marketing gimmick but after experiencing it personally coupled with OLED, It's like seeing the world with a set of new eyes. I almost shed a tear when I ran 4K HDR content in CZcams. 🤣
TL;DR, Definitely a life changing experience if you're so used viewing crappy displays all your life. Thanks Linus for the recommendation! 😉👍
the true HDR is not a gimmick. the fake HDR is gimmick, and most tv's and monitors that say HDR it's fake.
Actual facts I've tried explaining this to my friends and people just simply don't understand until they've seen it for them selves :-) I got mine two days before this review dropped so flew blind into the purchase an don't regret a thing there's no return to any other panel
@@SapiaNt0mata True! We got a couple of UHD TVs in the house and the latest is a 65" Samsung QLED with HDR which sucks vs our older 55" Samsung IPS without HDR. The 65" has a more vibrant colors and higher nit but the worse side angle viewing, experience is like watching from a TN panel.
@@cheeemzy6651 QD-QLED by Samusng looks promising but I'm skeptical because I have a QLED TV and not so convinced about the technology especially the horrendous side viewing qualiity,

"I'll fix the cable management later" ... we've all said that before
It's the new age version of "I'll clean the garage later"
Just checking if it boots, I'll do the cable management later. Oh, it does, nice. Let's try closing the side panel... aaaand done, see you on the next upgrade.
ME: I knew i forgot something....
(looks at spaghetti mess coming through wall.)
Hah, I've actually fixed my cable management many times... then something changes in my setup and then it sits for months not being fixed again.
For anyone who likes this idea but thinks OLED is still too expesive, I just tried this with my HDR 4K LED backlit TV with full-array local dimming with 45 local dimming zones, the more the better. It's pretty good. I think I might use this for those AAA high graphics games that don't run too well at a full 4K resolution, so I can switch to an "ultra-wide" resolution for the sake of performance.
Gaming like that since 2016 on my 43" 4K IPS. Up close. ECO mode 24/7. And, like Wendell, I asked this same question a few times here - "why not just use a large 16:9 monitor in ultra wide mode?" - Finally, Linus has joined the club :). Welcome.
Yes, but with his '...a girl can dream' sentence, has he joined the 'woke' club ? (The inclusion...equity..variety.. club, where everything must absolutely have a certain % of Latinos...blacks.. vaginas...trans...gays..dwarfs..disabled..) ?
"I'm going to have to fix the cable management later"... ya I said that 2 years ago, my cables remain as they were.
I keep saying that to myself every month or so, then forgetting.
Lol! As I was watching the Video, at the same moment I was reading your comment about what Linus said, I heared it simultaneously him saying it. That was crazy xd
I have the clips I ordered from amazon sitting right next to the cables for the past two months. :')
Linus keeps getting new monitors every couple months, I wonder if he's okay
he is like me, but with earbuds.
It’s fun to think of all the landfill fodder he creates.
he is, but all the screens he has dropped are not :-p
"Thanks to AORUS for sponsoring this video!"
You mean televisions? Yeah I think both.
10:27 How one spots a man of culture.
I remember doing Attacker vs Defender runs in that game, I built a super fragile, insanely powerful economy (a SINGLE attack would destroy the entire base lol), and could build dozens of the prototypes at a time.
I built a ridiculous number of units, including an ungodly number of Support ACU's. In spite of having an insane amount of forces, and slamming them into their defenses, I actually failed to win, everything got wiped out, except for the Support ACU's, which weren't really doing that much...until they died. That day, I learned the power of staggering explosive martyrs, we won the day.
I grew up with Sup Com 2 with my dad and my older brother getting absolutely demolished in multiplayer against them, had amazing memories with that game, well no one really plays it compared to FAF nowadays, so it is just a distant memory

The trend will bounce back between square and ultra-wide enough times for the preferred ratio to converge to the Golden Ratio
I feel like that joke might almost be a deliberate reference to the connection between continued fractions and the Stern-Brocot tree.
Wasn’t that why they chose 16:9 as a standard?
@@Afonso.Soares The closest we have is actually 16:10 = 1.6 (Golden ratio is 1.618...)
@@iau Closer to the golden ratio, yes, but 16:9 was created as a compromise to all aspect ratio standards of old.

Well install Forged Alliance Forever and ill see you there. :)
Forged Alliance Forever and the LOUD project got your back!
Just started using using a 43" 4k monitor as a primary display. I love it. Fancy zones to make an ultra wide on the bottom and 3 equal sized zones above that. So nice for productivity work. I used to use 3-4 monitors in various configurations and this replaces all of that.
Do you get games to run on borderless windowed mode on the bottom? I was thinking of that use case for me.

Plenty of adults with games as a hobby only have a few hours a week for it, ffs.
Linus with every monitor release: X (X being the best monitor on the market up till now) is dead to me.
Can this 1440p power supply display replace ultra wide
Linus' premise is that he really enjoys ultrawides, meanwhile at the office he stacked two 32:9 screens on top of each other creating a 32:18 (read: 16:9) screen
rlly?
@@yournews4182 Really. czcams.com/video/T4zpQvGg8rs/video.html
Yeah but it’s curved
its probably a 16:9.38 ratio because of that stupid middle-of-the-screen double bezel
@@benji_games_ and higher refresh rate and higher pixel density
Thanks for the informative video. There’s just one advice I would like to give about the cinematic black bars: In order to avoid “computer turtleneck”, you could lower the displayed pixels part of the screen and in doing so, double the height of the top black bar and make the bottom black bar disappear, if that monitor has that option.
never in my life have I given anything more than a passing thought to these dreaded "black bars" that seem to guide so many-people's decision making. One thing I do know is that all display prices are in freefall and a 32" IPS gaming display I am watching dropped in price twice over the weekend and although it is sold on NewEgg, the price was so absurdly low I still felt it was a scam. It wasn't, it's just what is happening with what seems all electronic equipment. With OLED gaming displays, I want to know how screen burn is addressed, it's all I care about as the way in which I game, my displays will be put in situations in which if they are susceptible to screen burn, they will. I don't want to see a ghost of my Valheim lobby for the next 2 years...
Cheers Linus been looking for something like this for ages.
Developer here. You got it spot on. Using the 43" version and the built in KVM to switch between my Linux laptop and my windows desktop. If you plan on doing this, please remember to update the firmware, as one of the benefits is that the KVM switches faster :D
I have the FV43U as well. It’s brilliant hardware, but the software is horrible. I’ve tried for weeks to update the firmware with no luck, and Gigabyte’s support has been down due to the ransomware attack.
Agree that the KVM switching is magical. I will never go back to a monitor without built-in KVM.
Wow 2 FV43U owners! Guys I’m keen on this panel but wanted to hear feedback on how text and general content for productivity? I’ve read that this monitor has a BGR pixel layout and that it can display text in particular not as clearly as standard pixel layout monitors (I.e.99% of the monitors out there). Do either of you guys use the monitor for work purposes? Your user feedback is greatly appreciated!
Most operating systems will allow you to choose the sub-pixel ordering if you run their text tuning application. Can't look it up right now as I am on my phone. Google is your friend! :)
@@scottdotjazzman does that apply to web browsers too?
Supreme Commander is an exceptional choice of game for this type of monitor

I'm going to bet he has one.
Wait what
SC FA is the shit!
10yo game but still greay
You can have a map you just have to activate it in option... :3
Man, looking at all the cool tech gradually becoming more mainstream makes me want to hold off on upgrading from my TN panel. I love good looking stuff but I kind of just want to wait a couple years and get a nice oled or qd oled
Also at least in the US, using a monitor in a way that doesn’t damage it, including modifications, CANT legally void a warranty (Magnuson-moss warranty act) no matter what conditions the warranty says. I’d love to hear if there is a Canadian, European, or Australian equivalent too.
Linus: “This is the best ultra wide monitor that I’ve ever seen. It’s amazing!!”
Linus 1 day later in another product review: Ultrawide Gaming is dead!!
It's like that when some shady business pay him to say that.

Very happy to see SupCom FA as Linus' wallpaper. Definitely one of my all-time favorite games
best rts ever
I still play it daily, it's so nostalgic to me
IMO game innovation has gone mostly backwards after this game. Brand new games coming out with decades old mechanics makes me sad. But I'm old. I guess new gamers can find something fresh in an old game design if they haven seen it before. Supreme Commander was more advanced than modern games.
Just bought this... Love it.
Hi Linus, thanks for yet another impressive video. A quick question, would you recommend this monitor or the FV43U for gaming and watching movies?
This is like his 3rd monitor upgrade in 3 years 😂😂😂
If I were him I'd probably get a new monitor every year too, honestly.
It’s the same shit as when they talk about new GPUs, “these are great for all of our test benches, so sorry you all can’t have any!”
Lol

Also Me: "Linus, I know you're moving in a few months, but isn't that awfully brave of you to use their product in your home?"
At first i thought you were talking about Burn-in of the OLED panel. But then GN Steve appeared at me
It's OLED - it is going to BURN in on desktop at some point.
Wait he’s moving? What about all this work he’s done on his current house?
@@jakeman025 he's got too much money to care
@@MauroTamm yep. Oled is a choice only for those who don't mind replacing on a more frequent basis. I personally use my displays more than a decade at a time.
Been doing the same with the 43" QLED version. While not inky black, the QLED blacks are deep enough for me for ultrawide.
Heya, 43qn90a ? Hows the miniled fald, any issue ? Also, how you cope with only 60hz ?
The price is a little eye-watering. But it's actually not that much more than what LG OLED TV's of that size are going for, typically. And the feature-set that's more PC-centric is quite nice. I've got a 50" LG 4K LCD that's been serving me well as a monitor since 2015. It might be time for an upgrade. Though I admit, this monitor is 3 times the what I paid for my old one.
Whoever set the background image as supreme commander fa is god tier in my book!
I literally threw my arms in the air in excitement lmao
But since this is Gigabyte we're talking about, the *REAL* question is can you use this for longer than 5 minutes without it exploding?
😂😂 yeah reckon this is why they sponsored the video to draw attention away from the power supplies
@@MRTJ434 sponsors are generally set up a month or two before the ad actually runs. if they really wanted to draw attention away from Gigabyte, they wouldnt use an Aorus branded product anyways
Idk how gigabyte can do so damn well in the monitor department but so damn bad in the PSU department lol.
My thoughts exactly 😂
@@MRTJ434 well to be fair, due how long the LTT production line is, this video was most likely done before Steve drop gigaboom

Dude you're the goat you showed me how to build my first pc and now I'm about buy this as my primary console monitor. Thanks for the review!
I manufacture led panels for large screens like Jumbotrons and the such, Inorder to avoid the pixels becoming burned in whst we do is basically brute force through the problem, we order leds that are by default have a much higher brightness than we desire and then burn them all in once on the panels that way relatively they dont really change noticeable after that
Me: "Oh that looks cool I wonder how much it-"
*checks cost*
"Oh never mind"

also for supreme commander at least the first one.. you could also run dual displays with one monitor acting as mini map while the other was close in or you could have two close in perspectives... i think they went away from that later since its kinda broken for multiplayer... dual display people get a huge bonus...
Like you can to attack the enemys base while keeping track of you own...
Kinda forgot to mention this (quoting an ebay customer review): "There are a few quirks and limitations to be aware of. PS5 in 4K 120hz HDR mode seems to be limiting quality to YUV 420 over HDMI mode which reduces the image quality which is a bit disappointing given it heavily advertises HDMI 2.1 support while that output mode is a limit of HDMI 2.0b. Also, the OSD for accessing the display's configuration can only be accessed while connected to a Windows PC with some "OSD Sidekick" software installed. The OSD sidekick software seems buggy and crashes/hangs frequently".
Otherwise, nice sales pitch, thumbs up!!! ;-)

One interesting thing about LFDs like this one, or like the Philips Momentum 43" I have, is that full-screen, one-to-one Zoom calls (or any other video call) are basically life-size.
With a screen that big, do you still put your webcam on top? Or is the angle too high and had to figure something else out?
@@jmd1980 It depends. The angle/height isn't an issue. It's more a matter of preferring to position the webcam near the video window. If I'm working and have the video window off to the side (the usual situation), I'll leave the webcam on top of the side monitor. If the video call is the main task at hand and is on the main screen, I'll move the webcam over to sit on top and centered.
@@jmd1980 I just realized I should probably mention that I have a 43" flanked by two 24"in portrait orientation. ;)

I used a 48" 4k panel for a couple of years and the one thing I have definitively decided is anything above 43" *needs* to be curved. Even at 18-24" depth spacing, the far edges you are viewing at such an angle through the facings that you get diffraction. Very edges, you'll be happy for a few months, then it starts to annoy you. 1800R would be perfect.
Dude Linus consider eye strain as exercise
Couldn't agree more, at first I thought curved displays were useless, but even a 34" UW needs to be curved imo
You really just need a deeper desk, I've been using a 50" 4k panel for two years, and I sit about 35" away from the screen and it works great for me. I can comfortably scan through everything from end to end.

I have ultrawides at work. And i start to miss the vertical space when for example video editing. So i bought a Oled 42". But the problem is the lack of curve. A monitor this size really needs it. The corners of the display is awkwardly faar away. Id love a 16:9 42" oled with curve.
Love my lg c9. I'll upgrade when a tv supports display port
Hey ltt team. I know you will be reading this. Have a nice day everyone.
Also fire Colton, cause only him would share unlisted video's link lol
Did Colton leak this?
How did he leak an unlisted video

How is your comment from a day ago it was realeased 30 mins ago
Linus: "The one thing you can't do is make it curved"
LIE-Nus speak for "I haven't dropped it yet"
go to line-thus up correctly so i wont drop
literally what I was thinking while watching the video
why you need Linus
how mad are you?
Getting an ultrawide for my desk and very excited
The best part of this video was the Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance wallpaper. What a GOATed game. And still active 16 years later!
I can't believe Linus also plays Forged Alliance Forever....
You've taught me so much about tech, would you allow a fellow ACU to teach you some tips too? :P
Forged Alliance also supports multi monitor, would be really cool to see more Forged Alliance testing videos.
The bigger question at hand - has he re-played that risk map from the tech hoarder video yet
@@JonnoHR31 Yes i remember watching a video where he was playing it.
@@ageekhere do you know which video that is? Want to see it
The day I get an ultra wide monitor Linus uploads a video about a better monitor
Not too late to RMA.
F
Eh, idk about better. It's really preference. I tried having a monitor this large and I don't know how to describe the experience besides "break your neck" kinda feeling. It sucks, honestly. You have to sit so far back that you can't reach your desk to get a comfortable viewing experience. Ultrawide is definitely the winner in my opinion.
@@DarthLeopard I agree, i tried going bigger and it sucks for me, absolutely not comfortable, and whats the point when i have to move 2 meters from my desk, its just a glorified tv on my table at that point. 34 inch curved ultrawide is where its at imo. Not small yet not too big.
@@DarthLeopard well, use of bigger (deeper) desk or a wall mount is sorta solving that.
i stopped trying to find a resonably priced large 4k monitor. went with a 43" samsung qled. pretty damn nice screen since im not doing competetive games as much these days. still ave my 32" 1440p 165hz va panel, but i really like the color depth and quality of 4k with hdr. may not be quite as nice as an oled, but its a DAMN nice screen for the price.
Just got mine from Micro Center. I love it
This monitor allows me to take full advantage of my Xbox series X, PS5 and PC!
They all work amazing. 4k 120 looks beautiful (on games that allow for console).
The LG C2 is on its way, but I wanted a monitor without all the Smart nonsense build it. (also Elden Ring is coming out in less than 8 hours lmao)
Linus today: "Ultrawides are DEAD" *sponsored by company trying to promote new large display
Linus in a few weeks: "Ultrawides are the future and this one will rule them ALL" *sponsored by company trying to promote new wider display
Not that I defend him, but he did say that it's the price that is the main reason it's not worth getting ultrawide since you can get ultrawide options with cheaper alternatives. He never said ultrawides are bad, all though the title is annoying I agree.
Yes czcams.com/video/4mgePWWCAmA/video.html
11:24 Linus are you playing ladder *during a review*
what a madlad
I wonder what a dual-monitor of this would look like
basically a sized up dual monitor setup
ah the new aurus, they look pretty good from the specs. got to love that dealer warranty stamp
Oh it's a Gigabyte monitor. I wonder if it has an exploding feature too.
No, but they're known for dead and stuck pixels as well as a warranty only worth as much as the paper its printed on.
Gigabyte makes some pretty BOMB products. Really BANGIN’ electronics. I heard their deals are FIRE too. Such a HOT company.
The problem with Gigabyte is that thier RMA is really terrible. I used to work in RMA and all the stuff that was returned to me was Asus, Gigabyte, Razer and Kingston drives. It was really annoying. Worst experience with a company in my entire life. I will NEVER buy their products. Always breaking and wearing out.
I am totally gonna save up for this bad boy and wall mount it in my room because my desk is one of those weird corner desks. :) Gonna be a fun summer project for me. :)
Supreme FA can do 2 monitor play natively, so I was expecting you play it on 2 of those monitors
A huge difference between this monitor and an LG 48" OLED is HDR brightness. This monitor tops out at 400 nits while the LG 48" OLED gets up to 800 nits.
I was just about to comment that this doesn't seem all that much bright.
Lmao...I'll get the lg tv then.
I wonder if that is an intentional choice to prevent burn in issues you might see with the TV.
I think part of that comes down to viewing distance. With the Aorus, you're only going to be 2 feet away from the display whereas you'd be 5-6 feet away from an LG CX (at THX recommended). 800 nits at that size and at computer desk distance would be blinding, I'd reckon.
@@Kayametra you reckon wrong. The distance of how close you are isn't going to change anything when you are looking at the actual light source.
Linus: Has built in KVM
Me: Nice
Linus: you can use TWO computers
Me: cries in cross-domain developer (currently 4 laptops)
Hey Linus, I suggest checking out the edifier s350db 2.1 system to replace your old Corsair speakers
I still use my CX 65" for my gaming PC. Mounted the TV and moved my desk 5 feet away, I think I have the sweet spot here, unless I get the 77" and move another 2-3 feet away.
I love watching these videos with things I only could dream of buying
wet dreams....
MUM I NEED IT NOW!!!!!!!!
What? It's only a MERE $1,500 US - Pocket change!
Live the dream man! Live the dream.....
Start steling then
glad to see dark theme intro is being used more and more! ^^

1:34 "I can't figure it out!" Literal instructions on the first flap when opening the box X)
4:24 Wow Linus does not know that you just do video just over a USB C cable now wow! Linus is definitely a display port and HDMI addict.
I have been using the LG48C1 OLED as my main monitor for almost 6 months and loving it.
how quickly would a game like WOW suffer from burn in with 7-8hr /day use?
@@rf2948 there would be burn in
we need more 4K 40" 16:9 panels! ... using a 42" 4K TV as desktop monitor since 2015
LG's 40" OLEDs should be coming within a year.
Yes! That seems like the sweet spot. I have a 50" and you can't sit as close as you would like.
Funny to watch this after the deck review. Its like smol screen to jumbo tron.
Heheey, neat idea from Wendell indeed! Maybe I should drop 2560x1440p down to 2560x1080p ultrawide in games that struggle with maintaining good 120+ FPS.
Not sure if it improves FPS, guess it depends on game engine if it uses deferred rendering or not, and how it interprets render frustum, etc. Still worth a shot though.
Supreme Commander Forged Alliance has always been one of my favourite games and still play to this day - nice choice of wallpaper!
Does Supreme commander FA have 4k support? Can Linus get max unit cap on a monster pc?
He tried his Best to sell it but he knew from the inside of his heart that it's definitely a difficult sell. His honesty in his expressions are very much appreciated, thank you for staying true for us the consumers and creators.
It looks like he is disappointed in it. He isn't wrong though it doesn't offer enough to out do a TV and I don't think many need a 48" monitor. 15 (laptop) to about 32 is good for most I'd say.
Price probably doest justify the need
Yeah, he said it's a lot more expensive than the C10, but didn't give any numbers.
And the 'advantages' were... some vague thing about the warranty, and display port 1.4??
@@NoCokeOnlyIce i'm never going to buy a computer monitor that is over 27 inches. 32" is too big for how close you sit.
@@KeppyKep Plus USB-C input and USB hub - it's also cheaper than the CX in Australia so 🤷
I love to see he still uses the corsair sp2500 ive had mine for so many years. Best you can get without going into depth of monitors and such. Trust me when I say this model is old
Excellent video. Liking this Linus presentation style. Naice!
bruh im dying on how linus synced up with the animation at 12:37
LMAO
This monitor also designed to explode at 60% utilization?
Yes, it absolutely does, after 2 minutes of usage. 😄
Yes as soon as you start sweating in ranked matches.
@@liviubita4238 But Gigabyte claims only if you show a test pattern on it.
im thinking about getting this and doing the 1440p ultra wide on 4k pabel thing but i feel like its asking for a burn in issue. uniform burn in will take a long time to become a problem but i think leaving wntire chunks of the monitor off for hours at a time could result in some visible lines pretty quickly
Well I mean movies have black bars anyways so I would think it would be no different...
The c - port can be used for those hdmi multi connectors wit a c - port in the end and more hdmi connector on the other side
Holy crap, thanks for pointing out the scaling options in the Nvidia control panel! I was trying to figure out how to make games run properly in 16:9 on my ultrawide for games that don't support UW very well. This is awesome!
"Only 4k 60fps"
Yup, we reached that point
The wealthy sure did lol
Well, for the people that were lucky enough to snag an RTX 3090... or even 3080 or 3080Ti.. sure. For the rest of us who are stuck with lesser cards because we refuse to pay scalper prices, then lesser resolution is just fine.
I need that Supreme Commander Forged Alliance background
Wendell always give practical advice 👍🏼
