    That's pretty sweet looking.

    And 21:9 support is still iffy as always so this is probably doomed. Two big black bars on each side I assume would be the result of having to go down to 16:9 or have weird scaling if the game in question supports the resolution at all.

    I haven't had any issues with my 21:9 3440x1440 Samsung. its these types of monitors where curves make the most sense. Any developer worth his salt supports 21:9 resolutions. Even most older games support the resolution.

    Well, i would buy if it would have 3 independent input sources and 3x1080p or 3x1440p mode.. More inputs would be nice too, because i now using 3 monitors, they has bezels, but they also have 12 inputs and i have independent sound bars for each.. so i have 4 independent sound sources.. Could use main computer + 2 consoles or nas / mac mini etc.. at same time.. even more with some HDMI / DP switches hassle..

    why, oh why doesn't Samsung and LG market large format gaming monitors in the west like they do in Korea???
    at least Samsung is adding Freesync support, but those guys are forgetting that although this is a tiny market (to them), the profit margins on high end monitors is extreme. about twice the margin (at least) from the consumer market for the same basic tooling they've already paid for.
    where do you think Asus (et al) get their screens from anyways? yeah, China...but mostly Korea.
