Man I wanted to love a curved monitor. I tried pretty much all of them.

They were all pretty good... but only when your head was exactly in the centre of its arc. Which for most of them was somewhere 10-20 feet away.

Sitting up close they were all just artifact city. Worse whenever I moved my head.

Scrapped the idea and went for a flat ultrawide. Perefect from any position. SOOOOOO much better than any of the curved ones.

Great price on the 2TB NVMe drive. Now if Apple would only stop charging a fortune for storage.

 

[chewbaka]

How is 4K at 32 in”? I have a 28” 4K Samsung monitor, and am considering getting a second display, but I’m worried I won’t be happy with the pixel density at a larger size.

 

[v0lume4]

2TB for $150 $170. And you know Samsung is still making money.

What would that same price be with a MacBook? +$800?

edit - See strike through. Intended to refer to the NVMe drive.

 

[v0lume4]

Are Samsung’s monitor panels pretty good? Does anyone here have experience with them?

 

[ackmondual]

I've always wanted to try one of those, extra, extra, extra wide monitors. However, I have doubts that Windows would be able to properly handle that. Plus, they're hella expensive (compared to "regular" monitors), and dunno if I have the space for that anyways. If I did, I'd rather just go with 2 standard monitors anyways.

Ordered the 49” Odyssey QLED today from Amazon for my work MBP. It will be hopefully be replacing my 34” Samsung curved monitor.

Will the G95NA Odyssey Neo G9 work well on a MacBook Pro M2 MAX via a thunderbolt 4 cable? The M2 supports up to 120 GHZ on Thunderbolt, it may go 240 via HDMI but I need a single cable solution. Using Caldigit T4

Just storage? You seen how much charge for a monitor stand? Or wheels?

 

[surfzen21]

That Odyssey is coming close to the Neil Peart of monitors 😂

Apples to oranges.

Ps. I do not defend Apple’s pricing

Ah comparing on a single metric of storage size and price association vice looking at the underlying technology reliability of SLC, MLC, 3DLC and QLC, failure rate, sustained read/write etc. But hey sure if we omit all those factors then Apple is overcharging 😝

That curved monitor appears to be pretty cool for FPS gaming:

1700$ for a 49" screen? I wonder about the quality for non-game work, though.

And what about the quality/reliability and longevity of the 2TB external/portable SSD? The price is very low for 2TB!

So which model did you end up buying?

 

[v0lume4]

Apples to oranges.

Apples to oranges? The performance between Apple’s drives and this drive is the same. It is apples to apples.

 

[rjohnstone]

Odd... I went to the page and looked at the 32" M5 and it say delivery not available to my zip code?
WTH. I guess that's an in-store item only.

 

[MakeAppleAwesomeAgain]

Hopefully they're getting rid of their 'old' stuff to finally release the monitors they showed at CES. I'm particularly interested in the ViewFinity S9/S90PC, the only Studio Monitor alternative so far.

 

[FightTheFuture]

Apples to oranges? The performance between Apple’s drives and this drive is the same. It is apples to apples.

No. They are different. MBP read/write speeds nearly 5,000-4,000 MB/s. These SSDs are like 1,000 MB/s.

Not the same.

 

[svish]

Good price on monitors from Samsung.

 

[Beatrix Kiddo]

Apples to oranges? The performance between Apple’s drives and this drive is the same. It is apples to apples.

No, performance is not the same.

They are different components marketed towards similar consumers.

 

[v0lume4]

No. They are different. MBP read/write speeds nearly 5,000-4,000 MB/s. These SSDs are like 1,000 MB/s.

Not the same.

What are you talking about? The speeds of Samsung’s drive is 7,000 read / 5,100 write. link

I’m talking about the NVMe drive, not the SATA drive. Maybe that’s where all the confusion is coming from.

edit - Yep, I misquoted the price and you guys rightfully thought I was talking about the SATA drive, my bad. Point still stands. NVMe is $170 vs Apple’s $800 for the same storage and performance.

 

[v0lume4]

No, performance is not the same.

They are different components marketed towards similar consumers.

See my post above. Maybe you thought I was talking about the SATA drive. I was talking about the NVMe drive for $170. The speeds are just as fast if not faster than Apple’s.

Heck Apple may literally use the same chips (idk who their SSD supplier is right now).

edit - Yep I misquoted the price. See post above, my bad.

 

[GraXXoR]

I have the 49" Odyssey curved G9 monitor... It's good when it works, but it's been a complete **** show... Firmware updaded 15 times but still buggy in day to day use.

 

[MrTemple]

So which model did you end up buying?

LG HDR 5K. It's a few years old, but it looks great at 5120 x 2160.

I'd be willing to upgrade for higher res or better refresh (neither of which I notice are lacking), but honestly I wouldn't if I had to sacrifice the ultrawide ratio. I would buy it again today and not be sad. I really like this form factor over the latest apple ones. You get more horizontal real estate than vertical.

Throw three documents side-by-side and it's a killer workflow.

Double monitor setups give me hives, because of the display edges right in front of your face.

I've got complete freedom of where I put my windows and the main window I'm focusing on always winds up straight in front of me. If I have it off to the side even a bit (like it would be in a double monitor), I notice it after a while and move it to the middle and it feels so much more comfortable. 👍
