![]() I need to figure out some alternative solutions to make this work. MacOS is so much better in this area because it has the dock in the center. It's annoying to have start menu on one side and notifications on the other. Windows is really not built for this display. Likewise it came as a surprise that Shadow of the Tomb Raider did not support DLSS at anything but 2560x1440 with this display. HDR is a bit of a bitch and caused game crashes for me. At 120 Hz it's all good, though DSC would have been welcome as using 10 bit color means color space reductions. I haven't investigated enough to tell if this is what happens. 144 Hz works but according to NVCP using any resolution with 144 Hz drops color depth to 6-bit. Running this with no scaling is generally the best option as a lot of 1440 pixel high resolutions work perfectly well on it. 3440x1440 is absent and I had to also use custom resolutions to add some "less than full width" ultrawide settings. Resolution support could be better out of the box. In terms of design it's good, it isn't ugly and doesn't hog all my desk space. Stand could be a little bit more rigid, I get a little bit of wobble as I type on my keyboard but that might be my desk too as I have some similar issues on my previous screen. In terms of responsiveness and motion blur I have no complaints, seems to do just fine. For some reason I find this more pleasant to use at 100% scaling than my previous display, maybe because it has a bit less heavy antiglare coating. The color and contrast are vastly improved though. That helps for immersiveness but is not great if you need to keep track of your health etc.Ĭoming from a 27" 1440p TN ASUS PG278Q the resolution is of course not sharper since this is just two of those side by side. Games are not built for ultrawides like this as UI goes way to the sides. Seems to run around similar performance as 4K would. In terms of performance my 2080 Ti can handle it alright. Being able to glance at the sides to see more is very cool. Tried Witcher 3, SotTR, Sekiro (with mods because it doesn't support ultrawide otherwise) and Yakuza Kiwami 2. I think my ideal screen might be 5120x1600 res now.maybe in some years. I'll report back in a few days on how it does for PC and gaming use. Ultimately it's probably better to just use different resolutions with the GPU and select scaling based on that. I could not find a suitable resolution to use with some of its options. There is a curious "screen size" option that offers things like "19 inch 4:3" which seem to offer 1:1 scaling that might be useful for.something. I'll have to see if it handles better on PC because I know my HDMI adapter is a limiting factor here. Resolutions like 3840x1080 are unfortunately not handled right, they become full screen when the ideal option would be 1:1 scaling. I have been able to select 1440p, 1080p etc and it has resized the screen to 16:9 properly. The display actually does a pretty good job at handling different aspect ratios. It seems that there is no super quick way to turn on PbP either as it's at least a few clicks away. Likewise with PbP mode a lot of options get disabled. You can select different things depending on if your input is set to AV vs PC mode, Freesync options also enable/disable things like overdrive settings. It's a shame that Samsung disables options based on what mode is in use for no good reason. This is unlikely to be an issue because when I get this hooked to my home computer I will always have both sides connected if I use PbP. PbP mode also works with this resolution but it has an annoying "please check DP cable" notification blinking on the screen that is not connected. So for now I am running the display at 2560x1440 with the display size set to 27" 16:9. I've ordered a USB-C to Displayport 1.4 adapter to see if that will fix my issues as the laptop itself is capable of running this resolution. ![]() For some reason 3440x1440 does not show up at all and adding custom resolutions to MacOS is troublesome. The max resolution I can get is 3840x1080. At first I could not get it to run 1440p but restarting my machine and unplugging seemed to fix it. So far I've had some problems hooking up my MBP to it. I thought that this would be unfeasibly large but it really isn't (except to move around, the package was huge) and there's many ways to run it. I haven't been able to even try it at the full resolution because I haven't hauled it home yet so I only have my Macbook Pro and the crappy HDMI adapter for it which can't do full resolution. I picked this display to test since those 4K 43" models don't necessarily deliver and to be honest it seems pretty cool. Ok I have to take back what I said above.
