What kind of monitor you got? Long term experience? Do you recommend it?

Im looking for a 4k monitor again. Something larger to consolidate current dual set up.

Currently have AOC 34" 3440x1440p 144 HZ ultrawide with a stacked 28" IPS 4k 60 HZ on top.

Since moving up from RTX 3070 to 4070 Super, 4k is more doable with DLSS. Use to 4k on lesser graphics cards on 32" 4k 60hz, so im fine making leap back to 4k daily driving. 4070 Super can push 100 fps 4k with DLSS @4k in a lot of games, so new monitor needs to be min 120hz

Been looking at a Samsung 43" 4k Neo G7 which is 144hz and Mini LED. Some ppl find it runs better at 120hz, which im good with. I can find the 32" curved version for similar pricing. Reviewers seem to love the 32" vs the 43", but 43" got the size im after.

Watched reviews and some ppl shit on the 43" Neo g7 because of UFO ghosting and response time. Part of the reason those things were shitted on IMO was the MSRP, these released at 1K. Price were reduced to 5-700 shortly after, Open box monitors can go for 399 but the one im looking at NEW around the 500 hundo mark.

When watching ppl record them gaming, the ghosting IRL is not really noticeable.

One thing I like about this monitor is that while it is 43" 16:9, can set screen to ultrawide game view which is 21:9. Essentially getting a 40" 5k2k Ultrawide screen when setting it to that 21:9. I prefer 21:9 when i can

However, where I live a comparable 5k2k costs 2-3x as much if HZ is atleast 120hz that is.

Monitors on almost all day so OLED not even in the thought process. Def will burn something in it quick.

The neo g7 also functions as a smart TV, not that I want it for that but its a thing.

Im nearly sold on it, unless you got something better for similar cost.

4k dEsKtOp MoNiToRs

i know, right.

current 28" 4k too small. 43" might be a tad too big, however will be good in ultrawide mode on a screen that big vs using that feature on a smaller screen. 34" 3440x1440p uw perfect size, but 1440p

that Neo G7 has so many features.... yuge amounts of features.. so many. da putin perplexed by the options and all the adjustment needed to calibrate it.. may take longer than expected.

its flat and not curved though so eyes will have to readjust. going from curved to flat sometimes may make it seem like the flat is a convex monitor.

Imagine being an adult and writing an essay about video game monitors... holy lifeless.

I once knew a fella so enamored with AWS you'd think he'd already put a baby in its stripper belly and had plans to move out.

We took him to a Brazilian Steakhouse and even delicious meat shoved in his pie hole could not stop him from chew-spewing the gospel of AWS.

I am a tech dork surrounded by tech dorks and even I thought he needed to stahp.

Imagine having a life as an adult thats solely based on trolling peeps on the lines...

internet farming ftw, amirite?

I ordered said 4K mOnItoR FoR mE DeSkToP. Hopefully the size isnt too big for the spot.

If so, may just remove the hutch from the desk and buy a bigger panel to mount on the wall one day. a 50-55" could fit there nicely. a 43" would be okay but may seem small mounted to da wall in that space M8.

edit:

but removing hutch causes storage issue for me transformers. would need more solutions for me plastic paper weights

I kind of fucking hate AWS. They created like a million different services, and the permissions system is a fucking nightmare to deal with IMHO.

That company did the following to each product:

1. Non-tech people buy a dream
2. Regret failed new product
3. Weird situation running bad new app and bad old app

For that company AWS was the dream they bought.

It was going to solve all the problems.

I sometimes want to run ads like those lawyers.

"Have you or your Employer used AWS, Azure, or Jardiance?

Call 1-888-666-ARES and let Ares shit-talk whatever tech bro is ruining your company.

Satisfaction is guaranteed, so call now!"

(FTR I don't think AWS or Azure are bad, but too many people use them when they shouldn't.)

4k DeSKtOp MonItOr yo.

I dont get the hate on this monitor at all. Maybe at a 1k launch price, okay. But for less than half that, its not bad imo. Custom calibrations and this thing looks okay. some may think its not bright enough cause it aint 22220000 nit, but shit is too bright for me. decent blacks. ultrawide mode works.

messed with different games.. didnt notice ghosting issues when actually playing.

I didnt know you get samsung tv plus too.. its like free cable tv.. 100-200 live channels.. idk i didnt count... def meant for the boomers eh. all the tv apps there for the smart tv part too....but didnt f with that.. 43" borderline too big for where i have it.. either need to lean back a tad or get rid of desk hutch and itll be perfect. but at 43" custom fancy zones a thing..

stock speakers arent the worst..

ps.. 4k DeSktop MoNiToRs
