Clear your desk, Samsung’s gonna make it easy
For those with multiple screens on their desks, life is not easy. Usually they are a hodgepodge of screens with different sizes, aspect ratios, and color quality, being driven by video cards from an earlier era that can just decide to freeze, shut down, or crash when the demands for screen memory becomes too intense. Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) is going to solve all of that with what it has designated as ‘Double full HD’, essentially a 49” wide, 3840x1080 resolution, 32:9 aspect ratio display, and a curve that will help you take it all in more easily. This is the equivalent of two 27” displays.
While the display seems to be oriented a bit toward gamers, carrying a 144Hz refresh rate (inexpensive monitors refresh at 60 Hz), and will have a brother/sister display with similar characteristics (3840x1200) at a mere 44”, or the equivalent of two 24.7” displays, for those that do not have the real estate for the larger version. Actual production of these monsters will begin at the end of 3Q 2017, and will likely be available early in 2018. Unfortunately no price has been given as of yet, but desktop real estate is worth more on a square foot basis than an apartment in Hong Kong.
