Pro Excellent for general use
The Samsung CHG90 offers much higher versatility than the overwhelming majority of the competitors on the market because of its picture quality, HDR support, gaming performance, and the amount of on-screen real estate.
Pro Good picture quality
The monitor’s native contrast ratio, peak brightness, gamma, color accuracy, and color uniformity are superior to what the overwhelming majority of competitors on the market offer. It can display amazingly beautiful images, with a wide range of vivid and accurate colors, rich and intense blacks, a...
Pro Good for gaming
The Samsung CHG90 offers better gaming performance than the overwhelming majority of 40”+ competitors, as this 144 Hz monitor offers highly responsive gameplay with reasonably well-handled motion. Additionally, due to the monitor's aspect ratio of 32:9 you’ll have a wide field of view in games...
Con Flickering can cause eye strain
The Samsung CHG90 flickers because it uses a PWM signal to dim its backlight. Monitor flickering can cause severe eye fatigue after extensive use.
Con Not suitable for consoles
The current generation consoles don’t support an aspect ratio of 32:9 and will leave massive black bars on the sides of the screen if connected to the Samsung CHG90.
Con Some games might not support 32:9
Games that support only the aspect ratios of 16:9 or 21:9 will have vertical black bars on the sides of the Samsung CHG90, as the monitor’s native aspect ratio is 32:9. However, the majority of new titles do support a 32:9 aspect ratio.
Pro Good for mixed-use
The Philips BDM4037UW makes an excellent mixed use monitor because its picture quality, on-screen real estate, connectivity, and gaming capabilities make it stand out even among the most versatile monitors on the market.
Pro Good for some color-critical work
The Philips BDM4037UW is a useful tool for media artists that work in the sRGB color space, as the monitor can flawlessly display the full range of those colors.
Pro Works well with current-generation consoles
This monitor is an excellent companion for any current-generation gaming console, including the Xbox One X and the PS4 Pro because of its full 4K60 support. With this monitor, you’ll be able to unleash the full potential of those consoles. Additionally, as the monitor has noticeably lower input l...
Con Bad for dark rooms
The Philips BDM4037UW doesn’t look good in dark places because of some minor backlight bleeding that occurs towards the bottom left corner of the panel.
Con Not suitable for macOS
This monitor will not work well with macOS because it uses a non-conventional BGR subpixel layout instead of the regular RGB that is used by the majority of panels these days. Unfortunately, the macOS doesn’t have the right tools to work with the BGR monitors.
Con Requires calibration
To unleash the monitor’s full potential, you need to get it calibrated. The whole procedure will require 5-10 minutes as all the calibration parameters are available on the Internet.
