Samsung Readies 144 Hz 3440 x 1440 Ultra-wide Monitors

btarunr · Jan 28, 2016

Samsung is giving finishing touches to a new fleet of high-speed ultra-wide monitors. These monitors will be among the first to leverage DisplayPort 1.3, to serve up blazing fast 144 Hz refresh rates, on resolutions as high as 3440 x 1440 pixels. Samsung has plans of at least two monitors with these specs - a 30-inch, and a 35-inch display. The two will feature VA (vertical-alignment) panels. It's likely that the two could also feature adaptive-sync features, such as AMD FreeSync. The two could come out later this year.

Well, i own a 32" 4k Samsung Freesync display, naturaly with 60 Hz.

The next upgrade will be 4k, 120/144Hz, HDR, and 32". But thats a long way away!

RejZoR · Jan 28, 2016

Nice. We are almost at 144Hz 4K...

Ferrum Master · Jan 28, 2016

Really would like this one too... :pimp:

The problem is with... price, though a guy with the GPU power to drive this @144Hz will not be bothered...

webdigo · Jan 28, 2016

Is sitting on a 27" considered old school? Is the new trend +30"??
I dont know about you guys, but I sit around 50cm (19.6 inches) away from my monitor. Playing on anything bigger than 27" would just be too much. At least for me.

Jack1n · Jan 28, 2016

Typo in the topic, its 1440 not 1400.

Easy Rhino · Jan 28, 2016

So $1,000 ?

trog100 · Jan 28, 2016

these curved extra wide monitors will not need as much gpu power to drive them as a more normal 35 inch aspect ratio monitor at 4 K..

the 1440 remains the same they just get wider.. maybe half as many pixels again as opposed to twice as many with normal 4K..

todays top end cards should drive them okay.. definitely so in sli or cf mode..

i recon $1300 dollars or £1100 quid in the UK.. chuck in the same again for the graphics cards.. he he

Actually no current cards will be able to do 3440x1440 @ 144Hz because it's not doable over Displayport 1.2, it requires the higher bandwidth 1.3 which no cards have yet.

Another note there is that 4K @ 60Hz is doable over DP 1.2, this means that 3440x1440 @ 144Hz actually requires a lot more GPU grunt than normal 4K.

Yes I was waiting for someone to say this. or else I was going to.

3440x1440 @ 144hz is more bandwidth than 4k@60hz

3440x1440@144 = a Total signal bandwidth of 38.52Gbps

4k@60 =
a Total signal bandwidth of 26.87Gbps

huge difference really.

It would be absolutely awesome for car racing games. When BenQ release one like this it will also have their blur reduction technology which will take smoothness to another level.

Most people buy monitors with high hz in hopes of their strong graphics cards passing that 60hz barrier in most games. I don't think people will ever get 120fps in a game like Witcher 3 @ 4k, that's just silly wishful thinking, were talking another generation of cards after Polaris/Pascal!!

nickbaldwin86 · Jan 28, 2016

k yeah just doing a little math.

I am not one of those people, I have 2560x1400 @ 144hz and I make sure it is at 144FPS!

I want 3440x1440@144hz and willing to pay for the setup and monitor!!!!

Frick · Jan 28, 2016

I want 144hz to move to the lower end monitors. For the price of one of those I can get 1440p IPS.

I can do 100fps with my setup so it's not too far off thinking that.

bpgt64 · Jan 28, 2016

I would really wait for reviews on this one, I had a dual panel display before and I will NEVER use one again. I had so many issues with the config, that Dell wound up replacing it with there new single panel TN model.

Yeah and nobody is stopping anyone from using 2 cables to get the end result, some monitors already are doing that.

Ok, but you are just 0.0000001% of the population that can actually do that

so I guess it's possible for people like you who go balls to the wall haha

There are tons of people with 980ti SLI. You just can't use Hairworks or a ton of AA.

I was talking about your particular setup, which in your specs reveals you have Titan-X tri-SLI. Probably even less of a percentage of people that I mentioned that have that.

I understand why you don't enable Hairworks, but not full AA? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of being able to "max" out a game so to speak? I stand corrected. I'd like to see you bench that game with everything maxed with no Hairworks and see what the average FPS is if you have the time.

I guess I am perfectly happy being oldschool because I game on a 24" and can't imagine needing anything larger when the screen is less than 2' from my face.
