Samsung's Monster 49" Ultrawide Curved Monitor

It's got a freaking 32:9 aspect ratio

By Rain Noe - June 14, 2017

Computer monitors are like city apartments: No matter how big you think yours is, you'll fill it up with junk before you know it. But that doesn't stop me from wanting Samsung's absurdly huge, 49"-wide CHG 90 UltraWide HDR QLED Gaming Monitor.

I think I paid a grand for my now-discontinued Thunderbolt Display five years ago, so the $1,500 price point seems pretty darn affordable. The 32:9 aspect ratio means you'll be turning your head so much that you'll need to wear a silk scarf. (Fun fact: The earliest fighter pilots quickly discovered they needed to wear silk scarves, not for sartorial reasons, but because in pre-radar days you had to do a lot of head-turning in order to spot the enemy. Silk scarves prevented chafing.)

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
