Earlier this year, we first began hearing about Samsung’s plans to launch a massive 49-inch mega-wide monitor, featuring a 32:9 aspect ratio. Now at Gamescom, Samsung is showing off its impressive panel, which sports the same QLED technology found in the company’s high-end TVs.
Over the last few years, 21:9 ultra wide monitors have become very popular. Samsung is taking things a step further with the CHG90 QLED Gaming Monitor, by jumping up to 32:9. The resolution in use here is 3840×1080, so this would be close to having two 27-inch 1080p monitors stitched together with no bezel.

The Samsung CHG90 QLED monitor can be found at Samsung’s Gamescom booth this weekend. Aside from the huge 49-inch panel and 32:9 aspect ratio, this monitor comes with some other benefits, including a 144Hz refresh rate, HDR support and a 1800R curvature. There is a 1ms (MPRT) response time too, so if you’re looking for gaming features, this monitor has plenty of them.
For connectivity, the CHG90 comes with two HDMI ports, a DisplayPort and an Audio Out. For now, we don’t have details on pricing or a release date but hopefully we will hear more in the coming weeks.
KitGuru Says: I very recently spent some time with a 21:9 3440×1440 monitor and came away very impressed. I can only imagine how much wider 32:9 would end up being. What do you guys think of Samsung’s new mega-wide monitor?
32:9 wow, looks to the left….shot from the right. You’re going to need a wider desk and much longer arms but damn those driving simulators are going to look nice.
I love my LG 25″ ultrawide but would love a higher resolution. I’m curious how they got HDR support with no 4k resolution.
In my Opinion 21:9 is the best you can get at the moment, if you have more than that you have to sit more far away and thats not the usage of a monitor in my opinion.
21:9 with a resolution of 3440×1440 is the best above that for gaming seems bad
HDK and 4K are different technologies. They aren’t interdependent on each other.
Lol. Literally half of a 4k panel.
Probably going to be out of my price range 🙁
Thanks, I must have misheard that HDR was a 4k only tech.
