I Bought the CHEAPEST 49” Super Ultra Wide Monitor for Sim Racing

Weekend plans? 👇

as soon as the 49"'s came on the market I bought the first Samsung model they released, having gone through all the other visuals, triples etc, by far the best of the bunch and absolutely perfect for any rig. Triples tend to take up too much room and the cable management/power consumption can be a nightmare... plus, you gotta have a meaty PC to get the best from a proper triple setup etc etc...

I'm always looking for new sim racing channels on YouTube, and I'm glad I found this one. Gr8 review.

I have been looking into starting actual sim racing and been watching your channel to learn more and then learning to make the physical items like tach and other guages

Sim setups have come along way since 2014 when I built my rig. I have often looked at the options for better wheels and would love the Moza setup.

Great review thanks! I did not consider this option but now certainly will

I have the Samsung 49” and I also got the IR Head Tracker, I mounted the IR bubba to my headset and calibrated it… BOOM! With car racing, you can tune out anything but the horizontal input. Otherwise, if you are the kind of person that will move your head in an absolutely linear fashion it will be… errr… You get where I am going. So, with the head tracking it is fantastic! In ACC, RF2, you pick it, you just may have to tweak a bit.

I've done Triples, and the SUW Samsung Odyssey. The trade off from triples to the SUW is probably 85% but the setup more than makes up for it. The SUW just works on every game with basically no setup or fiddling around. It makes just jumping in and playing some Forza possible, it makes older titles that are a nightmare to get running on 3 monitors playable again. It's by far the best option. If I was going to do 3 monitors I would still use the SUW for the middle monitor.

It's kind of annoying watching reviews that think having a dedicated setup specifically for 1 type of game is normal. Using triples as daily drivers is a huge pain in the ass. 3x as many cables, not being able to ever actually set the angles and monitors right, thick bezels even on "minimal bezel displays", and especially enabling and disabling Nvidia surround, which forgets your settings and screws everything up every time and barely works for anything outside games. The extra screen space you get from having triples over a double wide is actually minimal and for anything that doesn't have triple monitor correction is typically too distorted to be usable. Just having that wide an fov in every game with no hassle and no bezels is immensely better than dealing with triples.

For me, a casual racer, I’d love this. Im using a 42” flat tv for my monitor. I find the bigger/wider screen feels so much better. A curve would make so much more.

Looking to get a curved screen myself as part of my new sim racing journey and came across this video thanks fof making awesome videos.

Thanks for this review! I'm running 21:9, and I always feel the need to go even wider to see more of the road. Triples sound good, but they take up too many ports on my GPU. First world problems for sure, but you convinced me not to upgrade :D

Thanks for the video, looking at the 49 ultra screens.

i have this monitor and have been VERY happy with it. sure its not as curved and doesn’t allow for amazing FOV but damn is it capable for its price point

Awesome vids my dude, will be interesting to watch your iracing journey being there a few years myself

The biggest issue I have ran into with super ultrawide is that not all games support it, and you have to run a 3rd party program like Flawless widescreen to get the aspect ratio somewhat correct. Now you just need to get 2 more of them bad boys and run triple S.U.W.

Thanks for for the run down of the 49" ultra wide was tossing up between triple's or wide, Think i will stay with triples

I was debating this same thing when I started to upgrade my rig this year. Since I played on console before, it made sense for me to do 24in triples instead of an ultrawide because it allowed me to play on my xbox on a monitor until save up for my new PC (console does not support ultrawide). Also, even with 3 three 24in monitors, it was about $400 cheaper than the cheapest ultrawide in my area. But man do they look good.

was on market for something like this. thank you putting out the content. do not have the budget at the moment. ill just contemplate life with you haha

A great alternative for those ,that hate the bezels on a triple monitor setup.
