【Silip】

At what point is Silipa computer monitor just too big? Maybe 24 or 32 inches? How about 49 inches?

I really thought Samsung's massive 49-inch QLED gaming display would be too huge for a desk. But after standing in front of it at the company's IFA booth for what felt like forever and getting lost in the sheer amount of screen real estate, smaller displays now look pathetically puny in comparison.

It's impossible to wrap your head around how expansive and Samsung's CHG90 display is until you see it in person. Online photos simply don't do it justice.

The single screen is the equivalent of having dual 24-inch widescreen displays connected to your computer -- only it's better because you don't have bezels dividing the middle.

A little over a year ago, I tested a 34-inch curved Samsung ultra-wide computer monitor and thought that was a beast, especially for opening up multiple windows, but this new 49-inch 32:9 aspect ratio display is on a whole new level of wow.

The display's designed for gaming, so the resolution isn't exactly the sharpest at 3,840 x 1,080, but it does boast some impressive screen technologies for gamers, 144Hz refresh rate, 1-millisecond response, and AMD Radeon FreeSync 2 to ensure that games that support HDR graphics look their best and run smoothly.

But you don't need to game to appreciate the screen. Its hugeness means you can open up tons of apps and display them simultaneously or load up a gazillion columns in Microsoft Excel (if that's your kind of thing).

While I wish it had more vertical lines of resolution, Samsung really spared no expense at making it a beautiful screen. The Quantum Dot LED (QLED) technology makes everything on the screen brighter, with better contrast and more vibrant colors. The curved design fills your entire peripheral vision, and it's glorious.

Gigantic size aside, the display's back also looks like technology plucked from a sci-fi movie. On the rear near its adjustable stand is a turbine-like LED light that screams performance, but not in the common aggressive and angular industrial design you typically see on gaming computers and accessories.

Samsung made this thing powerful, and it looks great, even when you're not fragging aliens or on virtual race track.

It's almost impossible not to get sucked into the hundreds (if not thousands) of TVs and computer monitors whenever I attend big consumer tech shows like IFA, and I usually ignore most of them unless they're super thin or something.

But this monitor was different. It was hard to ignroe because its gigantic 49-inch wingspan just pulls you in. Now, who dares to compete with it?
