Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Unless you used OLED before or played around with one in a store I would avoid OLED for productivity. Text clarity has improved in the past few years, but its still significantly worse than LCDs, particularly in MS Office products.
Ended up returning mine. Was hoping it would be able to retire two of my three monitors, but there's not enough screen real estate when using 125% scaling to replace two monitors and keep text legible for productivity uses. Text clarity, particularly at lower scaling/zoom in word processing is...
Like others here, I thought I cancelled mine, but it arrived today as well. I'll be interested to hear what others think. Text clarity is still quite bad despite the claimed improvements, which likely means it will be going back because I'm doing more work than gaming these days. Full screen...
It won't be the next 24" 1080p. Even if someone makes a perfect 42" OLED like you suggest, you'll be buying a new one every 3 to 5 years because of burn in.
Almost certainly can't mount it. The stand looks like a similar design to the Corsair bendable monitor and that one can't be VESA moutned because the stand contains most of the electronics to run the monitor. Its going to be an issue with all the bendable panels I'm afraid.
Very likely yes. People here are forgetting, but the reports on this panel were that Samsung was getting like 1/3 yields. That is abysmal even in the world of OLED. They also only had one line running for this panel. Limited capacity and abysmal yields meant this panel was never going to exist...
That's because the yield on those tiny 34" panels was only 30%, not because they only wanted to do a test release. Its going to be awhile before we see large QD-OLEDs or large supplies of them.
Thanks for the heads up. I had cancelled my order through the guest page in favor of the discount ones being posted for certain businesses, but bailed out. Some of these are probably honeypots to steal CC info.
Samsung keeps marketing this in portrait mode, which is a gimmick and stupid, but this thing in landscape mode could be a game changer. Its an ultrawide with more vertical space, which many many people have been clamoring for.
At 1440p this thing looks like a huge loser. Its going to be north of $2k and even if the picture quality and brightness is better, that's a lot more money than an LG 42" is going to cost. Combine that with the legendary samsung (lack of) QC and its a hard pill to swallow. If they released a...
If this has the same "curve" as the G7 its going to be DOA. Its frustrating that Samsung markets their monitors as 1000R because they are not that. They have a 1000R curve in the middle third of the monitor and then straight sides. This makes everything look terrible on the monitor because...
