if you consider buying 1080p on screen higher than 24" ; please go to the shop first and see the actual screen with text ; desktop icon etc first..

almost bought a 28" 1080p thinking its cheaper / value for money compared those 24" 1080p...

but when actually see the screen, you can significantly tell that the image on those 28" is blur

Anyone here using Samsung Odyssey G9 here?

Was thinking to get it.. ~RM5k after staff purchase discount (when in stock)

https://displaysolutions.samsung.com/monito...il/1644/C49G95T

Any review?

Currently, I'm using 3x1080p monitor; I need multiple screens for work (Team Meeting, Excel, etc)

Hi all, i am looking for an ultrawide monitor as below usage and preference
current rig: as per signature
usual tasks: lots of browser tabs, work, movies, occasional game (dota only), multimedia etc
budget: +- 1k (maybe can stretch abit depends on recommendation)
monitor preference: at least 29", ips or va not sure, still relevant if i ever upgrade cpu in few years time, curve if can (can also recommend flat screens)
some monitor that i have in mind: LG 29WK600-W 29" (flat screen so kiv), LG 34WK650-W 34" (flat screen so kiv) others seems to be out of budget

thanks guysss

Thank you very much for your input!

The table looks like this, I tried clamping it on the 2nd level, I even placed some hard cardboard below the clamp and I can clearly see it's not stable.
The table I'm using with 2 photos and 1 video:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mtem8s5ntkxrsll/...gOskayqlua?dl=0

My monitor's nett weight says 7kg, not sure if that includes the stand or not

I was looking at LINNMON / ALEX earlier and the material they use is Fibreboard? I think I saw someone in here mentioned solid wood but it's so expensive, lol
*
i use Ikea counter top.. meant for kitchen.. much solid than the normal for desk.. and cheaper.. IKEA SALJAN

using it to hold 3x 27" monitor (triple monitor arm)

no flexing .. it has been 10 months

Counter top buddies! laugh.gif

Seriously though, this piece of slab is solid. I've mounted it to the centre of my desk and no flexing as of yet.

Did you pair yours with the standard legs or the Alex drawers?
*
here's the setup.. ignore the messy cables.. most likely will be changing the monitor to either Odyssey G7 or Xiaomi..

but not sure I still can use this mount for triple setup

Sweet! Wish I could have the whole table to myself. Then I could have my 34" & 27" side by side, with my 24" in a vertical setup. Although three monitors might be a bit too much for my MBP laugh.gif

So you went with two Alex drawers huh?

How are you dealing with the leg room with your sub and rig down there? Also, what's that in between those two? An amp?

After being so used to at least two monitors, I still can't let go of my 27". The 34" is nice for multi windows on the same screen, especially if doing reference work, but for actual multi-tasking, a second monitor really helps to shift focus from one task to another.

Are you gonna keep the current setup when you ascend? 34" centred and stacked with one 27" and flagged by two vertical 27"? Or go crazy and have the two sides on horizontal as well. Might as well consider a super ultra wide laugh.gif

With regards to the cable management...Should consider getting a signum. Helps a lot for my use case. Although I used the el-cheapo method instead brows.gif
*
this thread become Ikea table discussion instead biggrin.gif

actually, I'm using an Ikea Signum cable holder.. just that I have no time to tidy up the cable yet.. rclxub.gif and got another spare haven't install

will be pairing the new monitor ultrawide (or wide) in the center and the current 27" left & right .. I did try gaming on this triple monitor.. FPS game.. having a headache... guess not suitable for this

hopefully this Loctek D2T can support the new monitor.. don't wish to spend on another monitor arm.. got 2 single arm before..

i need at least 2 screens when working.. a single monitor is difficult to multi task especially when you are presenting in zoom. 3 just nice.. 1 for zoom ; 1 for ppt (sharing screen) ; 1 for others (excel, calculator etc, web)

waiting for this 12.12 for coin cashback... don't think there will price discount


the leg room is sufficient.. i don't sit lazy.. i.e always 90 degrees position ; good for posture and prevent back pain when long on PC.. a lot of office workers blame on chair when they got back pain.. its actually the posture not the chair...

if using ultrawide at middle, i dont think can due to the width.... you can try to measure first, but i highly doubt can triple mount as is.
probably can if both side monitor changed to vertical but still doubtful.
*
yeah doubt so... but will be using the 27 in vertical mode instead.. nice size when reviewing document.. less scrolling...

else fails ill use single arm for each of the 27 or use back the original leg.. but it will look ugly with 3 stands...

any idea for a reasonable mount that can fit 34" ultrawide & 2x 27" in vertical mode... triple arm....

Updated with new Xiaomi setup ; got it last week (bought 2 days before 12.12)

well.. this display is good for normal use.. just the localize dimming is noticeable compared to the IPS panel I have by the side.. i.e when you move the mouse ; the cursor will 'shrink' on VA.. but not on the IPS

So did your existing mount work? Curious to see if my math was right. Things on paper doesn't always translate well to real-life usage.

Seems like you had to lower your UW...or could be the angle of the picture?

In any case, congrats on the purchase!
*
Yeah the existing mount works.. and I just realized the existing monitor was 24" not 27".. hence probably the reason the mount still works...

The mount still can raise ano4 inches up or 1 inch down...

but this the most comfortable view for me... when look straight.. my eye level is 2" below the top screen...

Good to know that it still works!

I see you managed to do some cable management. New monitor helps huh laugh.gif

2" below screen huh? Maybe I should try that too. I catch myself unconsciously tilting my head down at times.
*
hahaha... no lah.. I was waiting for the label printer ... coz on this table there are about 10 plugs... since I received it the same time I got the monitor.. might as well clean up the cable..

so far this setup works well; especially in-game.. because your eye tends to focus more on the center screen in FPS games; if set too low you will be looking down most of the time to find the center point...

I've been delaying my own tidying up to be honest. A few cables just arrived, but kinda malas to do the under table routing and install my led light behind the monitor sweat.gif

FPS? With my current GC I don't think it can handle that kinda real estate laugh.gif I don't really use my rig much nowadays actually, tend to prefer my Mac instead. Have to use it in clamshell mode though coz driving three screens really pushes it. Lol.

So you're pairing your 34" to two 24" in portrait then right?
*
actually triple monitor works best for productivity.. but since I change to wide screen.. probably 2 screen is good enough.. but looks weird..

yeah now the 24" in portrait but most of the time only using the right screen.. and the widescreen split to 2 section

Yeah, agree with you on the three monitors. Previously I had a triple 24" setup as well, but had to downgrade due to space constraint. It looks a bit weird at first, with only two screens, especially since one is horizontal and the other vertical. Got used to it after a while though. My goal is to have another 29" 1080p UW stacked on top of the monitor once I have better mastery on video editing. A long time to come though laugh.gif

Is your 24" 1080 or 2k if you don't mind my asking? I had issues with pairing my old 27" 1440 and 24" 1080. The text on the 24" was quite blurry. If I had the 24" standalone, I didn't have the blurry text.
Not online shop, but have you tried your luck with those shops on the higher floor of Lowyat? The ones selling used laptop and monitors. They might just have it. Might being the operative word lah.
*
The 24" Dell is 1080p.. so far I don't have blurry issue..

i only faced the blurry issue on the Xiaomi monitor specifically in presenter view in Power Point... not sure why.. everything is set to 100% on all monitors (not scaled)

My full setup is here :

Can anyone offer me some insights here? I'm in a dilemma between Mi Curved 34 and Gigabyte G34WQC.

Any Mi Curved 34 users here who can tell me about the OSD? Do they have settings like crosshair for example?

I managed to find Mi Curved 34 with 3 years warranty so it's on par with Gigabyte G34WQC.

It's a bummer that both don't have USB hub though.

what cross hair setting you talking about? its 4 buttons for the OSD menu... all control using this buttons

Huh. Did not know that. I think I did 100% on my primary but that was a couple of months ago. I remember text was blurry on Firefox and Office. Ah well. That's a thing of the past now. Thanks for the info though!

Like you said, so much easier to just match the monitors resolution. I'm primarily on my Mac though so not that big a deal. Just that it was annoying before this.
That's...odd. I just booted up a slide on my Mac and don't seem to have any issues on my Philips. I do have issues of images "warping" when viewing black on a full white background when scrolling though. I guess that's a VA issue? When I try to replicate that on my 27" (IPS), the issue is markedly reduced.
If you want something with a hub and a KVM, you could take a look at the Philips 346B1C. I almost bought the Gigabyte myself, but the Philips spec (on paper) seemed about equal. Plus it was a lot cheaper too

Mac is very well implementing scaling, Microsoft Windows is kind of broken. Haha!

It will be ok only if all classic apps not support.

This is what I see in PRESENTER mode... weird only this issue in PPT I can see having issue.. the rest the text is crisp
