Monitor Samsung LS49A950UIUXEN 49" 5K UHD QLED

I upgraded from the titan army 39 inch curved monitor and thought I might be a bit disappointed in the height of the screen, however it's perfect and windows 11 has great features for ultra wide screens, absolutely recommend this product, it's like having 4 screens in one.Also PB tech has great sales support and knowledge.

Have been using this for a couple of weeks now and;- Ability to use a a hub/docking station is a great feature (1 USB-C cable is all that is required + it cared laptop)- Great for all applications I have used it for in day to day business including viewing complex 3D models.- I don't game so can't comment on how it performs in this area, YT videos work fine, HD movies are ok, but that could be a symptom of my current laptop more than anything else (Satellite pro C50-H).- Curvature is good fit for comfortable viewing- Unit as a whole is quite deep so if your desk is smaller than 800mm deep you may find you are too close to screen- Speakers are nice to have, wouldn't call them great but totally acceptable for business use.Generally very pleased with this ... MoreHave been using this for a couple of weeks now and;- Ability to use a a hub/docking station is a great feature (1 USB-C cable is all that is required + it cared laptop)- Great for all applications I have used it for in day to day business including viewing complex 3D models.- I don't game so can't comment on how it performs in this area, YT videos work fine, HD movies are ok, but that could be a symptom of my current laptop more than anything else (Satellite pro C50-H).- Curvature is good fit for comfortable viewing- Unit as a whole is quite deep so if your desk is smaller than 800mm deep you may find you are too close to screen- Speakers are nice to have, wouldn't call them great but totally acceptable for business use.Generally very pleased with this purchase, works as expected, declutters desk and works as docking station, haven't bothered trying the KVM capability so can't comment on this.

I bought the 34" one and liked it so much I decided to go with the 49". Mainly used for work and some gaming but only games like WOW so for what I need it for its great, if your a hardcore gamer I would probably go for the Samsung ones designed for gamers as the RT and RR on this model are more business orientated. I like the one plug USBC that also has 90W charging and have tried it on my 3 laptops and they all run the screen but only my HP Spectre (i7, 8 series, 4gb graphics) will run the monitor at full rez so be aware of that if considering buying one. Recommended for the right person.

Fantastic monitor for multi-tasking!

I purchased the monitor a week ago and immensely enjoying the large workspace of the monitor. I am currently using two computers connected and using the PBP function. The KVM switch is great for switching between two platforms using the same mouse and keyboard! I highly recommend this monitor for those who need multiple platforms and prefer the simple minimalistic desktop.

Geat, but not perfect

Its great to be able to spread out the work side by side on one screen. I prefer this to having 2 screens. But the screen needs to be a bit taller. Wide is great, but the height needs to be higher to be able to get the most out of it.

Good business productivity screen

Very good screen for business productivity. The 1.8m curvature is good, just enough. Wouldn’t go for anything flatter than this. The kvm switching is nice. Have it working well across a desktop DVI and laptop USB-C

Great Monitor

I bought this monitor for my home office to replace 3 monitors. Best decision I've made. Eliminates nearly all the cables that I used to have, looks great, tidy, easy to use.

I don't think I can go back to 16:9 displays...

I was asked to review this display, and it's honestly amazing for work and multitasking. It takes a little while to adapt your workflow to such a large canvas, but once you do it's a game changer. Connectivity is great and it was easy to set up.

Screen Tearing Mess

This monitor does not have any form of variable refresh rate, which is difficult to imagine coming out with a monitor now and days without this feature. You'll be subjected to a lot of annoying, distracting screen tearing.This would've been an easy 4 or 5 otherwise.
