We've seen 32: 9 monitors before, double-wide displays that typically deliver a 2x1080p viewing experience, but not this time. Samsung has stepped up the ante by offering a screen resolution of 5120 × 1440, a resolution of 2x1440p with a staggering 120Hz maximum refresh rate. In addition, the display is FreeSync 2 HDR compliant and DisplayHDR 1000 certified, which are good signs for gamers and viewers of HDR content.

Thanks to the FreeSync 2 compatibility of the CRG9 (C49RG90SSU), we know that the display supports variable refresh rates with a wide range of VRR and offers low latency inputs for gaming PCs. Samsung is using a curved QLED panel, which supports 95% of the DCI-P3 color range and offers a response time of 4 ms.

The screen is 49 inches in size, with a 1, 800mm screen curvature, making it ideal for both office use and gaming. As for the inputs, the screen offers two DisplayPort 1.4 connections, as well as a single HDMI port. USB 3.0 and headphone connectivity options are also available.
