What is that Thumbnail?

EDIT: I can't tell if I crazy but skimming through that video why did it make total sense for it to be vertical? Have I finally lost it?

🤣 It's a crazy monitor, you can up/downscale the monitor you're currently working on in real time, so if you flip it horizontally, you can have 3 separate inputs and split it vertically into 3 27" monitors with separate feeds. It's nuts!

For those not viewing the video, it has an additional control box that contains basically quite a profficient neural network computer that manages the up/downscaling, plus has the inputs and outputs

A lot of people were very against the 1000R curve that Samsung introduced, but as an owner of one, I have to say it's insanely immersive, it's the closest to recreating a VR experience I've ever come to on any monitor. It makes me physically feel the effects of accelerating a car or flying on a hang glider, you feel really sucked in to the experience.

I tried out the incredible Samsung Odyssey Ark monitor, and it has one big problem

Samsung's 55-inch vertical Odyssey Ark is coming soon, but it has a big problem standing in its way: Windows and MacOS.

I can see this being an absolute winner for big productivity applications like video editing suites or complex studio audio uses, who then want to kick back and game.

Obviously you need deep pockets, but this is gonna be something really special.

This is more of a techy in depth review which shows a lot more detail of the OneConnect box

Don't get me started on that one..................................one of the new drones on the market, can shoot in that horrible format, and someone made comment the other day about going to places with beautiful LANDSCAPE & shooting tiktok videos, so i replied so shoot beautiful landscape in portrait...................(by doing so you crop 2/3 of the beautiful landscape out the shot

That's something else isn't it

Samsung are being so aggressive with their monitor spec lineup right now. Having the top end, top end, leads to sales at the lower end too.... so they know exactly what they're doing.

They're probably selling that thing at a relative loss.

Anyone fancy a lightly used G9?

Anyone fancy a lightly used G9?

Maybe I could use one in vertical portrait as a secondary monitor for iCue readouts?
