This was an awesome video, the fact that you took time to make another video answering questions and being helpful to your viewers is dope. I respect this channel so much after this.

Pete your content is top tier for me, sincerely. You’re one of the most genuine reviewers out there and the videos are awesome quality (editing especially). Please keep it up and know that there are people out here that really appreciate the effort you put in. Cheers from Canada. 🙂

[PizzlesTechTime]

Wow man you really went above and beyond for the viewer! I wish I could do something like that. I am starting to get a little more traffic but I always make the mistake of not recreating content that people are interested in. This year will be different!

All these superwide monitors are something you buy and then "grow into" as you upgrade. I've had a G9 for 2 years and love it. As I upgrade my hardware, I'll get more use from the features. Older games run great. Just wait until you're on a Nvidia 5000 series card.

Regarding PBP refresh rates and the vertical line you can get rid of the line with nVidia's "surround" feature. It tricks the OS into thinking it is a single monitor of DUHD and not two UHD (4K) monitors in PBP mode, which improves the experience massively as the wallpaper, maximising etc works as if you had a single input.

[Elcharlus]

Very useful video, thank you so much! The way you speak mixed with your cool English accent makes it a pleasure to listen to you. Keep on the great stuff :)

[MaxOut]

imagine building the "most advanced" monitor ever, but not even having a usb-c connection

[galaxiedance]

This is the Ultimate Review. I can't imagine someone would need to watch anything else! Watching this, I could completely decide if this is for me or not! I don't need this monitor at the moment but it was great to see where tech has come. :)

Just got the 49" OLED version and it's amazing after you you sit in front of it and get used to resolution for a day. My only issue so far is the DP Port is unusable and even the HDMI had weird glitches at times. Even using the cable that came with it. I ordered some VESA Approved cables to see if it resolves it. If not it may be an excuse to send it back and grab this one while it's on sale. 😅

[TradersPathway]

Thank you for this video, answered everything I needed to know after setting up my screen last night.

[elite]

WOW. Such an amazing, informative, and well made video. SUBBED.

If you would have paired your 7900xtx with a Ryzen 7800x3d or higher x3d CPU, you would have been able to use the smart access memory feature which without over explanation, would have boosted your FPS. Not up to 240 FPS fast but a noticeable amount.

[Mrhandyhitman]

Finally someone who is giving some love to super ultrawides! I was considering making some videos but I don’t have the latest and greatest G9 but yea he nailed most of the issues it generated has such as some games support it and some dont and pic by pic mode cuts refresh rate in half

I’ve bought this monitor for my M1 Pro. You can connect via hdmi and get 120 hz
So I use pbp, one side via thunderbolt to display port (4k 120), second side thunderbolt to hdmi adapter and you need to flash a custom firmware for this adapter(not a big deal. It takes 30 mins) and hdmi 2.1 cable and you will get 4k 120 hz as well.

I'm loving this monitor... I've had it about 2 weeks or so.. Didn't think I would like it this much. The 4090 is the way to go if you can afford it... The whole 240hz debacle is overblown because there isn't a consumer GPU from team red/green that can push this monitor anywhere close to 240hz at native resolutions or with upscaling options. 120hz is perfect for now.. when that 5090 comes out I will definitely be buying that in order to really push this monitor. Oh and I have no problem running PBP modes at 120 on each side in full 4k resolutions. Even when I had two hdmi 2.1 devices connected there wasn't any issues pushing the monitor at 120hz 4k. No HDR of course or VRR. But still that is the best way to console game on this monitor. Great vid as always Pete!!!

The daft 1m DP cable is a pain, but other than that, I’m loving this monitor. I’ve upgraded from an old, beloved 32” Benq 1440 screen, and I love having the extra space. I’m primarily using it for non-gaming uses at the moment, but it will also be a gaming screen. I was considering a second 32” screen, an OLED 4k one probably but I’ve always found 2 screens is a pain unless one is definitely subsidiary and off to one side, because there is always some sort of bezel right in the middle at the ideal spot for your eyes.

[AceDream]

Sir!! Can you pls help.. I have the Samsung g9 and the Mac Studio .. I downloaded GeForce but the game is only in the center.. I’m trying to run it full screen what am I doing wrong?

[NecroticMage]

you can run a game in the center for streaming in full screen and without fancy zones by using like both an hdmi and a dp cable to connect to your pc and then turning the monitor into like two different displays using picture in picture mode

[lynchmob]

Mine will be at my local Best Buy this weekend. For some reason, i couldn't get this monitor delivered to my house. I live in a city, near other big cities so that seemed a bit strange, but luckily Best Buy doesn't have that problem. Just a heads up to my fellow Americans ... the delivery date for the monitor arm he is using is set to arrive between Nov. 28th - Jan 26th. So be prepared to wait. All in all im excited to get it.

[dylanoverstreet]

I just wish we could get a monitor with this resolution and refresh rate along with productivity in mind. Things like built in Ethernet, power delivery over USB-C, and proper one button kvm to switch all peripherals and video input would be worth the 2k price tag.
