2011, 27" screen. Upgraded the RAM and changed the HDD to a SSD. Works a treat

Now just gotta figure out how to get the best out of it!

Ordered a Duo after last year but it turned out to be a dud. The buttons were glitched and I had to send them back. But not before I realised what it can do.

So.. Went gungs-ho and ordered this in the mid of March and been using it for about 3 weeks now. Best decision ever. Ever since it came, I have used the electric stove much much lesser and spend less time in the kitchen.



Makes Indian, Chinese, Thai, Grill, Pasta, Stew, Lentils, Cakes, etc all in one single pot. Dont even have to stand nearby. Just put in everything, tell it what to do, and it does it for me. A real life saviour now that I have started eating more healthy and incorporating more boiled and steamed stuff.

Treated myself to a Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 49" ultrawide screen. Been using 2 27" screens for a while now and the bezels in the middle are starting to get on my nerves (and the fact they never stay perfectly level/together).

Missus just got a new Macbook so sold her on the idea of having one of my screens for her desk and me getting a new one 

[bradders1011]

Do they come with the ability to have 2 or 3 desktops across them?

As in from multiple sources? Yeah I believe so, but to be honest I likely will only be using the one input and having various "zones" I can snap windows to, or the option of using the whole screen for certain programs (video editing mostly).

That looks flipping brilliant. So much more practical than two or three screens.

This is off an Amazon review for this monitor

It looks like a super model had a baby with a spaceship, and then a tesla had a baby with several large panel flatscreens, and then THOSE two babies had a baby, and it was a beautiful baby, and it was a curved baby.

I've been eyeing one up for a while and decided to take the plunge - def think it will be better than having multiple screens. Even ignoring the bezels right in the middle, I'm fed up of constantly trying to make them level - I've tried individual stands, a single desk stand and one which clamps onto the desk and I seem to be constantly moving them.

I hadn't seen that one  Saw a few YouTube reviews where they sang its praises so should be good.

Other than sports cars that I can't afford, few things have said to me 'I need this' in quite a while

this just looks so cool and seriously practical for anyone working multiple screens and certainly WFH people like me

It's for work mostly. I use 2 27" screens at the moment but this should let me have a main working space in the centre and then space either side for two (or more) other windows. Or if I'm video editing I can use the entire space.

Oh, and this...

Just got it set up (wasn't expecting it until Friday so a nice surprise!) and I love it already 

Still getting used to the curved screen as first time I've experienced using one, but I'm amazed by the sheer amount of screen space available, it's going to come in extremely handy.

My lad bought himself a curved screen, nowhere near a big as that one and its ace, if they had them at work I'd nick one for home use

You're hosting Virgil's birthday party?

[CraigDS]

Had 3 or 4 hours using it for work now and honestly not sure how I survived before 

It takes up less space than my two 27" screens + stands and feels like it offers 3x the usable space (although that isn't the case) with the lack of central bezels. The curve makes it feel so much more natural than two flat screens too.

Jeez that's nice. Where is best to buy one? WFH so could do with that bit of kit and wouldn't have to put work monitor away when not use.

[CraigDS]

I got it off Amazon (direct from Samsung) but, I think, it was the last one in stock.

Did you have to get the landlord’s agent’s permission for such a large screen?

I've took the tin whistle as far as I can I feel so time to lwarn something new . I really want to get into learning the Breton songs such as Tri Martolod and An Dro .

I was going to buy an hurdy gurdy but decided against it 

[BarryCrocker]

Finally succumbed to rejoining the vinyl revolution. Have been pushing back against it as I didn't want to neglect my 600+ CD collection.



By chance my local market had a record fair on this weekend so I decided to get what's hopefully a new habit in vinyl hunting to build a collection. I wanted to find something that would make that first play special. Bought these 2 albums and had the 45 for sometime before.

when I day dream I think about this monitor

how is it working out for you

I WFH and purposely bought a laptop with a big screen so I can work at different spots around the house or at a work desk I have at my old office. But the big screen of the laptop would get in the way of the monitor. I'd have to fold it over and just use the monitor. not quite so clean but probably still a cool solution

just realizing the best solution is to put the laptop on one side of the desk, buy a new keyboard and mouse use the laptop totally as a base device with all the extras connected to it

[bradders1011]

Moving house, this is really satisfying.

It’s been amazing. Easily the best thing I’ve bought for a long while. Even though it’s not a huge amount bigger than my two old screens it gives so much more space to use without that centre bezels two screens give.

  I remember you being truly moved by that monitor Andy. Treat yoself
