Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Gaming on the Samsung 43″ SUPER Ultrawide Curved Monitor – CJ89”.
What’S happening guys, it’s a protects, honest and right here in front of me, is Samsung’s newest ultrawide monitor this is the CJ 89. It’S a 43 inch ultra wide curved monitor and I’m so excited to check it out. So with that said, let’s unbox it set it up and take it for a test drive most of you longtime subscribers out. There actually know that I currently have an ultra-light monitor and I switched over from a multi-monitor setup to 3 years ago and since then I’ve never looked back. I love that thing.
It’S great for gaming. It’S awesome for productivity, so when Samsung reached out to me to sponsor this video and send this out to me, I did not hesitate at all. Oh ok, I think I’m gon na have to stand up for this part, there’s a lot of stuff in here. So, let’s get all this out of the box, well, quick where she is all right, so these are the accessories that came with the box obviously got the base.
Then you got the neck piece. This is the back cover to cover up the ports I’m guessing and inside this box. You have. The cables got a USB type-c and this is the bracket used to hook up the monitor against the wall or a monitor arm itself.
So I don’t think we’ll be using this in this article. However, alright, it’s put together the monitor and take it for a test drive. So, ladies gentlemen, here it is the super ultra ride from Samsung. This thing is almost as wide as my wingspan.
It’S insane. You know at one point: you got ta, stop and ask yourself how wide is to wide at what point is it gon na be enough, and I feel like we’re gon na find that out in this article, so there’s a couple things I noticed in the back. It’S got a base amount, which is great, because this thing is massive and it’ll take up a lot of space on your desk. So having the option of mounting this thing to a wall or a compatible monitor arm is a great idea. Also back here. We have a ton of quartz, we got the usual HDMI display, but we also have a couple of USB ports and two additional type-c ports. These ports will allow you to hook up anything that has a USB type-c connection. It could be a tablet, a phone or even a laptop, and it will not only charge the device, but it can even display content from it at the same time as far as adjustments, this can actually rotate quite a bit to get that perfect angle, assuming you’re Using the base, then, of course it is height adjustable as well, so this is all the way to the top, and this is all the way to the bottom. The only thing you can’t do is tilt the monitor. Well, I guess you can tilt it a little bit just to make sure that the monitor is even with the desk, but you know what we should hook this up to my PC and take it for an actual test drive. Alright, let’s do this! Oh, what this is insane.
I can already see this being so perfect for productivity, there’s so much space to work with actually speaking of productivity, let’s open up Vegas Pro my editing software and see what it looks like. Oh my god, this is insane. I could fit the entire timeline for one project on one screen.
I don’t have to scroll left and right for it. I can see everything this is insane and I have some extra space on there right here. Wow. This is going to increase my productivity flow. So much this is insane. So it’s interesting the monitor back at home, I’m able to split the screen comfortably in half, so I usually have a window open on the left and then a window open on the right.
But what these Samsung all tried, I’m able to have three full windows open guys got my Twitter over here I got my YouTube and an extra window in the middle to do whatever I want. So the monitor comes with five watt speakers located on the bottom. Here. Let’S actually test it out and see how they sound like okay, okay, yeah, they don’t sound bad they’re, nice and bacey that got decent highs.
They don’t get that loud. This is actually max volume on this from the YouTube player and the actual monitor itself. But four built-in speakers actually not that bad all right. Let’S see how gaming is on a super ultra wide I’ll start off with a shooter game like csgo, and I want to see how immersive it really is, and if the extra width really gives you an advantage in shooter games. So, let’s load this up, obviously practicing with bots, because I cannot play csgo if my life depended on it.
Okay, wow. This is actually much wider than I expected. I can definitely see more on my sides than before.
Now this can be a good thing or a bad thing, because that just means there’s more horizontal space to move left and right, so aiming at enemies, for example, might take some extra time if that makes any sense, because there is more horizontal movement. But the advantage is, you can actually see a lot more, so I can stand over here and I can see from one side of the wall all the way to the other. This is crazy. It feels like the monitor is wrapping around my face.
It’S really cool and I feel like this is perfect for people that are always looking to get that immersive experience like this is so trippy. I can see the sides using that peripheral vision, so I’m just looking straight and I can see what’s going on on the sides, let’s give pub G a try. First thing: I actually noticed, as my bodies cut in half I’m guessing because of these super wide resolution. They had to compress the screen or something, but that is pretty interesting, so the resolution on this monitor is 3840 by 1200 and because it’s 43 inches diagonally, you get a 32 by 10 aspect ratio. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with neither g-sync or freesync. However, to compensate for that, it has a hundred twenty Hertz with fresh wait, five millisecond response time panel, which is awesome for gaming on the productivity side of things. The panel also has 8-bit color support 99 % srgb coverage and a maximum brightness of 300 nits. Without a doubt, you’re getting an advantage playing on this super ultra wide monitor compared to people who are playing on a regular one.
I mean just look how much more you can see just by glancing around you don’t have to move your mouse, so you can easily spot enemies and quickly react to them. This is, I feel like in a way it’s kind of cheating yeah. I don’t see how this is fair compared to people are using a traditional aspect ratio I mean there is just there is so much more content. It’S insane. Now you might be asking yourself Edie. I can’t do an ultra-right, I’m sorry.
I do need to separate monitors because I need to separate inputs, maybe you’re a screamer. Maybe you have an extra console on the side and you like to switch between both of them. Well, the Samsung super all tried actually has an option where you can hook up.
Two separate devices on the left is what my pc is connected to and on. The right is what my laptop is connected to via HDMI. You can also use the USB type-c connection in the back.
If you don’t want to use the HDMI now, if you go through the menu section, you can actually even resize this entire second input. So if I go on their menu go on their size, you can set it to two other options. You can do fullscreen.
You can do what I think this is 25 % and the corner over there or slightly larger, and obviously you can change the position of that as well. So, for example, if I want it on the bottom right, so it doesn’t get in the way of things. I can leave it right there, so, for example, if I’m streaming right now, this would be perfect, because now I can look at chat and I can browse the Internet. I can go on my Twitter feed whatever it is at the same time gaming. So it doesn’t interrupt me, so this would be like the ideal streamers setup if they were only using a single ultra ride instead of a multi-monitor setup.
Another really cool feature about this monitor is that it comes on I’m. So sorry, oh my god. So, as I was saying, another cool feature is the I saver mode and that pretty much reduces the amount of blue light being emitted from the panel and it’s gon na help with your eye fatigue and, of course, less stress on your eyes and you can access That easily, within the menu button down here, just two little buttons and then you can see a filter is being applied on your gameplay. Obviously changes the colors and stuff like that, but it’s gon na help with overall fatigue.
So, if you’re playing for long hours at a time, it might be worth it to put it on, say that guys, I’ve pretty much played with this thing the entire day and I’ve decided that I’m gon na replace my ultra light back at home. So once I do that, I’m gon na completely redo my setup and then bring you guys, a setup tour before the see your end so make sure that that thumbs up on, if you guys, are excited, and that also does it for this video. So I hope you guys enjoyed it a huge thanks to Samsung for sponsoring this video and sending out the CJ 89 for me to test that absolutely love it. If you guys want to check it out, it is coming out early September for a thousand dollars, and there is also a 32 inch version coming out late August, thanks again for watching. As always and I’ll see you in the next one. .
