Size matter when we start talking about such high resolutions. To use 7680x2160 at native resolution, I'd probably need a monitor that stretches approx 55" or more in width.

I remember trying to use my 27" at native resolution. While I was able to see everything, it would become a strain rather quickly. Even with my current 32", I use tap to zoom quite often in Safari.

My bad they are 28" monitors and the two together they are about 50 wide the diagonal is 54/55. So not much space saving though it would look much cooler...

aoc? ...hmmmm.... I'm sorry to say but you have better tastes ... only the way it's written "aoc" and I find it dubious as a quality ... in my opinion, it is cheap and poor quality china ... why did not you focus on LG ... they broke everything could from the market with the OLED screen ..

In my experience LG is poor quality crap from Korea, so they made a really good picture that does not make their product good. The thought of owning something made by LG makes me throw up in my mouth.

When I bought my monitor, there were not many 32" 4K monitors on the market. I just ended up buying this locally at the B&H store on 34th street.

As I said, for the two years I've owned it, it has worked fine. Much better than the Dell 4K that I had before it. The previous two monitors that I had before this were Dells. The 27" 4K and an old 30". Both had dead pixels on the first ones I received and I had to return them for exchange to get panels with no dead pixels. This one was perfect out of the box.

I feel the same way about Samsung. Lol

A few years back when LED TVs were still quite expensive, I paid about $3000 for a 55" and that piece of garbage started giving me problems after just 2 years of use. The layers on the panel started separating and caused a portion of the screen to create a cloud like image on everything. Of course, it was out of warranty and Samsung wanted over $1000 to fix it. I told them to go $%&# themselves.

I also had a Samsung laser printer that started printing streaks on every page before I even used up 50% of the toner.

Now I try to avoid all Samsung products with the exception of their NVMe SSDs. But I did also have an SM951 that just stopped working one day.


Edit:
I replaced the Samsung TV with an LG that ended up dying after about 3 years (backlight failure). But I paid much less for it. I've now changed philosophies and will not purchase expensive TVs. I buy mid-range when on sale and consider them disposable products with extremely limited life spans and I'm ready to replace about every 3 years.

I miss the old days when a Sony Trinitron would last for so long that it was handed down from generation to generation like a family heirloom.

I do not know from where this trend of high-diagonal monitors ... especially the wide ones ... it's true that we have a horizontal view, but I think it's a lot of exaggeration ... I think it's more a trend and nothing more ... i still have a sony monitor with trinitron tube that I keep for calibration ... maybe LG is not the best option, maybe it's a Korean thing, but with the OLED screen broke the mouth of the fair ...

edit: the same opinion about samsung products

I think "wide screen" or 16:9/16:10 became popular because it brought a more cinema-like experience. Less black borders on top and bottom when compared to 4:3 display.

I've seen the LG OLED displays and the image quality is amazing. But having had two TVs that did not even last 3 full years, I was very apprehensive about spending so much on a TV again...
