      • lie cheat steal take money from govt more lying…. I see what you are getting at

        • Fake it till you make it as they say.

    • Ya! Kids these days and their 4K monitors aren't talking about resolution, they're talking about the 4 gees the parents dropped.

    • +1

      it's easy, just get a better paid job that makes you rich.

      You mistyped onlyfans?

      • +1

        Did you like what you saw? ;)

    • That's pretty cool

  • +1

    I too need a $4.5k monitor to do my homework on

    • is that what kids call onlyfans browsing nowadays?

      • Lmao apparently so. Saw a youtube vid of a kid calling his mum (on speaker phone in the classroom) if it's ok for him to watch a PG rated movie in class. His mum's response was "well you watch p*rn, so i guess a PG would be ok". The entire class and teacher heard her say that…. the whole room errupted in laughter.
        So i guess it is considered homework these days

  • Can you use a 55-inch 4tk tv as a monitor? Yes. I have done it 4 years ago with an LG OLED TV ( as there were no OLED monitors smaller at the time). Even then (with a better picture and gaming performance) was cheaper than this at 3K for LG 55 C6 (also curved).

    • You're not going to get 165Hz refresh rate on a TV

      • +1

        Oh I did it when 120hz was even a thing…let alone a graphics card that could do 60hz 4k. Just pointing out that even years later, they are asking for a higher price and it is still not oled (when TVs are much cheaper than 5 years ago). Thus, this is a gimmick targeted to a niche user base who would rather use the latest LG TVs with mount /PowerToys software.

  • +1

    lol This that monstrosity out of CES 2022 with auto rotating mount to fit your phone portrait TikToks

    • +1

      Yes. That one.

  • Guess samsung ignores computer desk ergonomics 101. I wouldn't use this as a monitor. Maybe an entertainment display.

    • +1

      From what I read it rotates so can be used as landscape per standard

      They choose to market it vertically as a point of difference though

      Next check the funky LG DualUp

      has anyone seen a monitor that curves in the other aspect ?

      • Still 55 inch is too big for my desk.

        LG DualUp is quite a nice monitor. Might keep an eye on it. I need 3 x vertical monitor for my cybersecurity lab environment. Looking at 23.8 inch 75hz IPS minimum.

        • Still 55 inch is too big for my desk.

          You get a bigger desk silly.

          🙃

          • @xoom: Then the desk won't fit in the room.
            Soon will need a bigger house for a bigger room
            Then bigger block of land
            Might need to invade another country as Australia won't be big enough
            Maybe I just leave this thread.

            • @z28: sorry, earth too small to put in that monitor, need another planet orbit big enough.

              • @slowmo: Space is massive so i hear from astrophysicists. Should be plenty room. Somewhere.

      • There's that oled monitor that you can manually bend into being curved/flat (Corsair xeneon flex).

  • +1

    boooooo no dual HDMI inputs

  • +1

    can anyone think of any other use for this other than an online slot machine stream or am I just an addict?

    • +4

      You'll see more deals scrolling ozBargains so this thing should pay for itself in the longterm. Would be stupid not to buy it.

      • +1

        my bunnings price error sweeper shipped today. is it a sign to spend 5k on a monitor?

    • You've heard about face time, now slap on a camera on the ark and now you've got body-time.

      • you might be on to something, curved mirrors makes you look thinner!

  • Very nice, but too rich for me.

  • +1

    For $3,599.20 you get:

    1) a 55 inch 1440p display with the same pixel pitch as low as a 1080p 27 inch monitor
    2) no picture-by-picture using multiple inputs, only a single input + apps
    3) to be the coolest kid at school

    • it's 3,840 x 2,160 but lack of features and inputs makes this pretty terrible value.

  • Too small for online sudoku/solitaire though.

  • Dont buy from samsung online store.

    Hi Doctor what is something I can live without

    • A kidney. You got 2. You will survive with just one.

  • Time to upgrade my 2yr old Alienware 38 inch monitor…
    Going to start a Go-Fund-Me first :) I prefer to keep my kidneys.

  • Seem this at HN had a good laugh it's terribly overpriced and looks terrible

  • +1

    This monitor doesn't look like it is at all that practical. Who the heck uses a 55" panel as a monitor? You may as well put up a TV.
    Anything beyond 34 inch is considered a stupid size to put on any desk and you lose the actual practical use of a monitor.

    • The 1000R curve is pretty steep, it stays within your FoV. The ppi isn't great though.

  • The dumbest thing about this "monitor" is that it lacks a DP port facepalm
