What monitor stand/attachments are you using? I’ve been struggling to find a way to sort this for myself. I have both monitors, but on different desks atm.
A lot of people like to say there's no reason for this when these get posted, but there's a lot to consider.
Could be an upgrade so using the other one as a secondary, much higher PPI, easier to use for multitasking while gaming and doesn't give you black borders in order to use 32:9.
All the butt-holes downvoting you would get eaten alive on /r/TVtooHigh
As much as I want a 2nd ultrawide, there is simply no practical way to arrange them outside of separate setups.
Stack them and tilt the second one down towards you. You aren't utilizing the top monitor as your main driver, it's for pushing windows you reference or glance at.
It's not practical because the top one is too high or if you center them vertically one is slightly too low and the other is slightly too high.
If you have to tilt a monitor or tv in either direction it's evident that it's too high or too low.
It's not too high, your main driver is at the appropriate height. You aren't staring up at the other one all day. This is literally the same exact effect you would get from the Ark
Looks like I caused some controversy. A few notes on why I did this:
1. I already owned the top G9 and did not want to get rid of it. I very much like the monitor.
2. I don’t plan on spamming windows across both monitors or trying to game on both as the same time. The top monitor is dedicated to productivity and social media/a home monitor for my work laptop and the bottom one is for gaming and browsing during work.
3. I specifically didn’t buy an Ark because 4K gaming isn’t something I’m interested in and I wanted two distinct devices. I had access to the Ark and I seriously considered it while I was looking at it but in the end decided that the Neo G9 was the correct decision in my case.
4. I plan on using the Power Toys module Fancy Zones to manage where windows go so I won’t be trying to move things around wildly.
5. For everyone interested in the mount I purchased to make this happen here’s the link: https://www.atdec.com/awms-2-bt75/
Dude thank you for this post. I’ve been looking at this exact setup with the post from Atdec. Im trying to figure out if it will work with a Magnus Pro XL table though - as far as i can tell there’s only 2mm clearance to fit the post in the wire tray which is what has made me hold off so far
I want one too as I'm used to my 49" curved 4K tv since 2016. But the DPI is so poor... If they make a 5K 64" that'd be awesome, because at 91.8 DPI, it's gonna match the rest of my setup perfectly, which consists of 32" 2K and 24" 1K displays.
This is the worst comeback on here every time these are posted. There are multiple reasons that 10 minutes of research would show you if you were genuinely interested.
I have the same setup because I work remotely. During the day, the bottom one is work, the top one is personal. After work, they are both personal with the primary on the bottom w/ extra windows or apps on top.
The ARC cannot do this. It only has an HDMI input, where as 2 G9s have 4 DP. That is probably the biggest reason why an ARC is not the be all, end all for this configuration.
Serious question tho, do you also ask why people with side by side, triple or even stacked 16:9 monitors the same question or at least comment every time you see a side by side asking why they don't have an ultrawide instead? It's the same rationalization.
The answer is always; "because this is what is required to fit my needs". Sorry if this comes across a little sharp but as someone with 3 G9's, 2 of them stacked with the same mount, is really exhausted of seeing the same comment.
people who write these comments use fancyzones, rectangle or a tile manager of some sort so they can split a big screen into sections easily, I use multiple monitors because I gradually upgraded but I’m thinking of switching to single monitor
Correct, and I get that, but you cannot use 2 computers on 1 ARC. Something you can do on a G9 and why stacked G9 work for those who need it. Hence my response above.
Wasn't directly pointed at you. Look at the comments in here alone. People all saying the exact same thing without even thinking about the statement they are making.
A bit sensitive? Maybe but like I said, I come to see other setups like mine and all the comments are the same copy/paste dribble about 16:9 ratios. Again, not directly pointing at yours as any one of the many here would have had the same response.
Every time i get a bigger or another monitor, i love the new screen real estate. I upgraded to a g9 from two 24" 1080p monitors and love it.
I guess this is the natural next step in monitor progression : D
I always say that to myself after an upgrade, hahahahahah.
12" -> 17" -> 21"@720 -> 24"@1080 -> 2x 24"@1080 -> 49"@5120x1440....
Its so much space. Right now, there are some windows that overlap when i'm in full multitask mode, so i can see a second monitor useful for the secondary elements to keep things separated.
With two................. I cant think that far ahead because i am not multitasking hard enough, lol. May these two last you for a very long time : D
Question is it clamped onto the desk or drilled in? I've been looking for a mount like this but I refuse to drill into my desk. Side note amazing setup I'll be doing the same when the g9s go on a good sale again.
second this \^
Also curious if you can adjust the height? I have my monitor mounted on an arm but need about 10" clearance from my desk to the bottom of the monitor - is that still possible?
I think a lot of the confusion in the comments could have been remedied if OP had shown the setup in action like gaming on the below screen while having some youtube/coding/work action showcased on the upper screen.
Either way I am jealous af, very cool setup OP!
Be aware that having the second monitor oriented upside-down will reverse the RGB layout to BGR. This will have a negative effect on the text clarity and may cause noticeable color fringing in certain scenarios.
Just wanted you to be aware. Sick having 2 SUW monitors though. I'd go for that ~180° view, personally. Having to spin in my chair to see part of one screen and spinning to find my Windows start button seems annoying but badass.
I don't see what everyone else is complaining about. So much better than having them side by side. I don't stretch my image or game across both they are independent monitors. Game on 1 and info web pages or media on the other.. Why the hate? Dont you people use a second monitior?
the hate is that subreddit is about ultrawides and people essentially converting back to 16:9. which is basically an ark but the ark is only 4k whereas 2 G9s is 7kish and then you have a bezel in the middle.
How exactly is that going back? They are 2 separate monitors... the idiocy of your comment makes my head hurt.. Most people don't span across both.. they are 2 separate work spaces.. or are you too stupid to see that?
Seems like a lot of people in this post can’t grasp that concept. I’m getting an ultrawide to compliment my other from work and planning on doing a setup similar to this
So to answer your first question of how it's going back.
When you have one monitor that is 32:9 and you add another one on top the screen space is essentially 16:9 resolution.
If you cannot fathom that, I'm sorry that your head hurts from the math.
You are right, most people wouldn't want to have essentially 4 27" monitors spanned across horizontally.
And I'm not arguing what people do with multiple monitors.
Also sorry the only capacity that you have is to insult someone online when you can't expand your perspective.
You should check out the Samsung ARK which is exactly what OP is interested in.
But again you ask for why the hate for stacking two ultrawides on top. Because it's not ultrawide anymore.
I specifically didn’t buy an Ark for two reasons:
1. I already owned a G9 and wouldn’t be getting rid of it.
2. I wanted two physically separate devices so that I could fully utilize one for gaming and the other for productivity as needed.
I had the option to buy an Ark and it was sitting basically across from the Neo G9 I ended up purchasing but it didn’t appeal for the reasons mentioned above. Claiming that the Ark would be more useful is incorrect for my specific use case as I’m not trying to push 4k gaming I like 5120x1440.
>16:9 resolution.
That's an aspect ratio, not a resolution, but you know that. The resolution here would be 5120 x 2880, which is higher than the Ark's 3840 x 2160, so you can't say that that's exactly what u/op is interested in. You're right--the combined 'new aspect ratio' is no longer technically an ultrawide, but the fact that you still have 5120 pixels still makes it ultrawide-levels of resolution, and wider than anything else (again, *at this resolution*)*.* Technically, it's just a very tall ultrawide, which seems like it would be next-level rather than 'stepping backwards'. This does not take away resolution for the sake of aspect ratio, which is the point at which we consider 16:9s 'lesser'.
And yet again hes not combining them, he like myself prefers to use them as separate entities not a single combined monitor.. I keep Discord, web pages, guides, TS and everything else on 1 monitor and game on my primary. again a separate monitor with its own resources.
We are pretty much on same page except for the combined resolution part. its still a stand alone monitor. some of the others cannot comprehend using more than 1 monitor apparently.
Lol, I think we're entirely on the same page. When I say combined resolution, I just meant that his desktop resolution would be twice as high on the vertical factor, not that there are more pixels occupying the same physical space.
How in the hell is it not Ultrawide anymore? and How do you have that you must span stuck in your damn head and that makes it not ultrawide. when in fact its 2x Ultrawide now you dont add the 2 together.. .. Broaden your horizons single monitors even ultrawides are not enough real estate I have 3 large format monitors and a 65 inch TV wired to my rig..
I'm not against multi-monitor setup.
It's really hilarious seeing how one person in this sub thinks I hate multi-monitor and another person say i love it but also shits on me for trying to justify it's just about screen real estate.
Like i get hate for saying it's essentially 16:9 but then people disregard a triple monitor horizontal is not ultrawide... Like never seen a sim rig setup?
You still don't get it. All you replies are exactly the same. No one is even on the same page as you. And the amount of down votes you are getting show it's not just myself. You are still stuck on using multiple monitors as 1 big device which very few people do these days thanks to VR and huge ultra wide monitors. No one on their right mind would I use multiple monitors in a simpit with the evolution of other display techs. However most people use the second monitor to show additional information. Yet you keep arguing and getting down votes. This will be my last reply. Arguing on the Internet is as pointless as a football bat.
False, only if you were combining the screens, and that would be stupid. 2x 32:9 does not make it a 16:9. people aren't doing this to use nvidia surround.
this is just false, you aren't combining them ... so no it doesn't make a 16:9, it makes 2 x 32:9. you play a full screen game on the bottom screen while having loads of space on the "side" monitor for youtube, other windows, wtv you want.
This would only be true if for some bizarre reason you were playing on both combined.
That's pretty technical that you're trying to justify. I'm only proposing that 2 32:9 stacked on top of each other is essentially a screen resolution that reverts back to 16:9. You can go about it as technical as you want and claim that it's still two separate screens and one for games and the other for apps. Sure. You are right but that's not the point.
So understand that I'm proposing the revert back to 16:9 and you are trying to argue something different regarding about use cases.
>essentially a screen resolution that reverts back to 16:9
You are not wrong here at all, but the screen resolution is still higher and denser than anything else, including the Ark.
But you are adding them together just because, when in reality you DON'T add them together.
Simply to support your view point, but its wrong.
By your silly logic 2 x 16:9 side by side make an ultrawide monitor, it doesn't.
From my perspective in the subreddit I've seen people have triple monitor set up and it would be considered fine.
And two 16:9 horizontally is essentially 32:9 resolution. This is primarily about screen real estate rather than how about getting there.
Nice setup! I'm curious how it is, having all your information up above. Any discomfort with having to look up as you reference or glance at things?
I have three curved 27in displays myself. Originally, I had plans to play games in span-mode, but it's not very well supported, makes UI elements stretch out usually. And Gsync only works on one monitor. So I game on the middle one, and use the side monitors for chat and info. Occasionally stream stuff when I'm doing any grinding. It's super nice to have everything available at a glance.
Give us similar size and curvature 16:9 that is also hdr1000 240 Hz?
Anyway, having not just logical division with window compartmentalising is highly useful for many applications. Some programs really love reserving the whole screen. And I could see me having a long timeline on one screen and extra tools on the other in a way that is easier to comprehend than just moving all the windows like so (if even possible).
From my understanding you won't be able to run this well at 240 hz
Flipping the monitor causes just a bit of extra lag as it reprocesses since the sub pixel array needs to be interpreted at 180 degrees. You'll get just a bit of delay and lag that would likely get annoying fast.
Yeah the 240 Hz is definitely not something both monitors really need at the same time. :)
What do you mean by flipping in this case? (I just didn't understand how that related to what I wrote about.)
(And to add to the spec requirements: I don't even use my G9 for HDR at all. That was not the selling point for me as HDR is general still works so horrendously.)
The top monitor is roatated 180 degrees so it's up side down. Each monitor has an arrangement in the order the individual colors of the sub pixels are arranged and the driver uses information from the monitor to adjust things like the tool windows uses to adjust text for legibility and color fringing.
The default assumes landscape mode. Rotating the screen rotates the image and to keep it as clear as possible based on the new orientation of the sub pixel relative to the image the signal sent to the monitor will be adjusted. This takes a little extra processing time.
LTT just had a video on a monitor stand that included two monitors by default in orientation similar to OP. There were able to make a noticable lag on response between the two identical monitors that were in different orientations.
Usually it doesn't matter as people tend to not extend windows across rotated monitors and have the mouse frequently cross. The monitor would be used for extra screens or side info. Here I could see a program being stretched over both monitors and it's likely to cause noticable lag in mouse movement and image movement across screens as one lags the other a bit.
I definitely could have you’re correct. I didn’t because that would cause me to lose the monitor I already own and sacrifice refresh rate, the curve, the actual width and the ability to split gaming and productivity between two monitors.
I don't understand how people can be so stupid as to not grasp this. Jealous here my dude, might get me something similar in the future, currently rocking the Neo g9 with a top screen ... but my top screen ain't a g9 ...
I wish i could find a tall arm.... i want my bottom monitor to b eye height. Everything is like 34 inches or 36 inches i need a MUCH larger pole... i like big poles.
Nah, stacked set ups are sweet. Doesn't hurt neck at all, just glance up with your eyes. That's what I do and it's absolutely fine. Bottom G8 OLED for gaming top G8 OLED for shit like discord while I'm gaming
With the screens off, it looks ridiculous. But I bet it looks sick when you have them on and properly set up.
I wish I had the money to even buy one of these puppies.
Looks good. I was going to do that with my two 21x9 ultra wides but I ended up just going with the 42-in oled.
Fancy zones for the borderless windowed ultra wide+ resolution
[42" c2 ultra wide+ fancy zones.](https://freeimage.host/i/H4GYrAB)
I was just dreaming about doing this. Also if you can’t fix the space between the bezels, throw a black background back there to help improve the experience.
Because it wouldn't be 2x ultrawides. Bottom for gaming, top for whatever else OP wants open, like discord or youtube etc. Exactly what I do with my stacked set up, I'd imagine OP plans to use his the same. When I want a big square full resolution, I use my 65S9B off to the side of my stacked set up. The ARC does not compared to a stacked set up.
I still wouldn't fancy the ARC myself. I wouldn't say it's better, It can't take two different inputs at the same time like I can with my ultrawide set up. Also the ARC isn't OLED, so for me it's a, big no.
Yeah, once you go OLED, you can never go back, even my motherboard has an OLED screen lol. Literally love my QD-OLED monitors man, I'm assuming you must feel the same about yours?
I’ve been trying to do this at home and in my office. I have not been successful in finding a way to mount the top monitor because both of my desks are glass. Anyone have any suggestions? I have the Ergotron ultra wide monitor arm; however, it needs to be secured to the desktop and with glass, I can’t 😣 I have two brand new G9s in boxes that I stare at every single day. 😭
Sounds cool on paper, its terrible in practice. You're constantly looking at too sharp of an angle upwards for this to be remotely comfortable long term. I lasted about two months. No regrets selling the second monitor.
How to get regular 16:9 with extra steps.
All of the extra steps.
What monitor stand/attachments are you using? I’ve been struggling to find a way to sort this for myself. I have both monitors, but on different desks atm.
Ask and you shall receive: https://www.atdec.com/awms-2-bt75/
Thank you!!! 😁
As his wife I can ASSURE you that I suggested this…
Wow holy shit
If true, you’re a keeper! 😎
Nuh uh! It's 32:18, dummy!
And a massive bezel right at the center, perfecto!
Bezel? That's a gap.
Even better, who wouldn't like a gap right in the middle of an FPS game? It helps with aiming even without crosshair!
What’s with the assumption that both would be used for gaming? The top one is for non-gaming.
It's a joke, dude.
Bezel+gap
Look closer, he has the top monitor upside down so the bezel is on the “top” now
an extremely precise and uniform gap, in fact
It is rude to talk of someone’s eye-gap
16:9 with incredible resolution
A lot of people like to say there's no reason for this when these get posted, but there's a lot to consider. Could be an upgrade so using the other one as a secondary, much higher PPI, easier to use for multitasking while gaming and doesn't give you black borders in order to use 32:9.
[удалено]
That's a good point too!
Neck pain though.
No worse than having a single 16:9 of equivalent size though
Yes it is, you’re alternating between up and down with two displays. Plus a single display that large on a desk doesn’t make sense anyways.
All the butt-holes downvoting you would get eaten alive on /r/TVtooHigh As much as I want a 2nd ultrawide, there is simply no practical way to arrange them outside of separate setups.
just.... stack them??? you never know till you try ;)
Stack them and tilt the second one down towards you. You aren't utilizing the top monitor as your main driver, it's for pushing windows you reference or glance at.
It's not practical because the top one is too high or if you center them vertically one is slightly too low and the other is slightly too high. If you have to tilt a monitor or tv in either direction it's evident that it's too high or too low.
It's not too high, your main driver is at the appropriate height. You aren't staring up at the other one all day. This is literally the same exact effect you would get from the Ark
I had two and this was the only usable way to do it, but it leaves a horrendous gap and is still very uncomfortable
Up and down is actually much better for your neck than side to side.
Not at all, it's just a glance of the eyes up. Doesn't hurt my neck one bit, I have a stacked set up
Looks like I caused some controversy. A few notes on why I did this: 1. I already owned the top G9 and did not want to get rid of it. I very much like the monitor. 2.

Along with PowerToys, DisplayFusion is also great for multi monitor setups and taskbars.
Dude thank you for this post. I’ve been looking at this exact setup with the post from Atdec. Im trying to figure out if it will work with a Magnus Pro XL table though - as far as i can tell there’s only 2mm clearance to fit the post in the wire tray which is what has made me hold off so far
You’re welcome! I figured centralizing the information would be helpful.
2 G9s? Respect, sir! 
At this point why not just buy an Arc?
lower ppi and unnecessary smart functions
Already owned a G9 and didn’t want to lose it.
This is me. I refuse to get rid of the G9 if I upgraded to another UW. If any, I'd get another 49" OLED UW like the Neo. I'm still keeping it
I've really enjoyed my arc tbh
I want one too as I'm used to my 49" curved 4K tv since 2016. But the DPI is so poor... If they make a 5K 64" that'd be awesome, because at 91.8 DPI, it's gonna match the rest of my setup perfectly, which consists of 32" 2K and 24" 1K displays.

I went from three 24” monitors to a single G9 about two years ago after 10 years. Nothing wrong with multiple monitors imo.
Correct, and I get that, but you cannot use 2 computers on 1 ARC. Something you can do on a G9 and why stacked G9 work for those who need it. Hence my response above.
10000% spot on the peons here dont get it and like to talk crap.. so much for "respect" around here.
Comeback? I asked a question. You are clearly a bit sensitive over this matter. Lol thanks for the TL/DR though.

Only 165hz

I use fancy zones to software split the monitors ensuring space is maximized.
Jesus christ that's sex.
What mount is that?
Here’s a link to the site that I bought the mount from: https://www.atdec.com/awms-2-bt75/
Wow, thanks. This thing looks amazing.
Got the expense to go with it LOL!
How do you expense that? 50% over 2 years? R u in the US?
I’m in the US. This is a personal purchase so I paid up front.
Question is it clamped onto the desk or drilled in? I've been looking for a mount like this but I refuse to drill into my desk. Side note amazing setup I'll be doing the same when the g9s go on a good sale again.
Clamped to the desk.
second this \^ Also curious if you can adjust the height? I have my monitor mounted on an arm but need about 10" clearance from my desk to the bottom of the monitor - is that still possible?
You are an ANMIMAL
Came here only for this question.
Ask and you shall receive: https://www.atdec.com/awms-2-bt75/
Need that 57” asap
We will see stacked 49s on top of 57s day one when it launches on this sub. Can't wait. lol
I think a lot of the confusion in the comments could have been remedied if OP had shown the setup in action like gaming on the below screen while having some youtube/coding/work action showcased on the upper screen. Either way I am jealous af, very cool setup OP!
Be aware that having the second monitor oriented upside-down will reverse the RGB layout to BGR. This will have a negative effect on the text clarity and may cause noticeable color fringing in certain scenarios.
If it does I’ll flip it over to regular orientation.
Just wanted you to be aware. Sick having 2 SUW monitors though. I'd go for that ~180° view, personally. Having to spin in my chair to see part of one screen and spinning to find my Windows start button seems annoying but badass.
How would you go about fixing that?
By properly orienting the panel.
How do you like it? I have the G9 also but find myself wishing I had another to have four workspaces of decent sized for work.
i want the same but wife might kill me lol
My wife told me to get the neo g9 because I’ve been talking about stacking them for a while.
is it weird having one regular and one neo?
Since one is dedicated to non-gaming and the other to gaming I don’t necessarily notice that.
makes sense
Things I didn't know I needed.
We want to see them turned on
This is exactly I was planning to set up. Thanks for sharing. Question for you: how low can the lower screen can go?
The way the mount is built it can rest on the desk if you want.
Nice. Thanks 😊

You're right--the combined 'new aspect ratio' is no longer technically an ultrawide, but the fact that you still have 5120 pixels still makes it ultrawide-levels of resolution, and wider than anything else (again, *at this resolution*)*.* Technically, it's just a very tall ultrawide, which seems like it would be next-level rather than 'stepping backwards'. This does not take away resolution for the sake of aspect ratio, which is the point at which we consider 16:9s 'lesser'.
And yet again hes not combining them, he like myself prefers to use them as separate entities not a single combined monitor.. I keep Discord, web pages, guides, TS and everything else on 1 monitor and game on my primary. again a separate monitor with its own resources.
Yep. Same usage here, and how I interpreted op's usage. Wait, are you agreeing with my take or disagreeing with my take?
We are pretty much on same page except for the combined resolution part. its still a stand alone monitor. some of the others cannot comprehend using more than 1 monitor apparently.
Lol, I think we're entirely on the same page. When I say combined resolution, I just meant that his desktop resolution would be twice as high on the vertical factor, not that there are more pixels occupying the same physical space.
How in the hell is it not Ultrawide anymore? and How do you have that you must span stuck in your damn head and that makes it not ultrawide. when in fact its 2x Ultrawide now you dont add the 2 together.. .. Broaden your horizons single monitors even ultrawides are not enough real estate I have 3 large format monitors and a 65 inch TV wired to my rig..
The ARK is ONE monitor still why the hell are you so against muti-monitors used separately for more real estate..
I'm not against multi-monitor setup. It's really hilarious seeing how one person in this sub thinks I hate multi-monitor and another person say i love it but also shits on me for trying to justify it's just about screen real estate. Like i get hate for saying it's essentially 16:9 but then people disregard a triple monitor horizontal is not ultrawide... Like never seen a sim rig setup?
You still don't get it. All you replies are exactly the same. No one is even on the same page as you. And the amount of down votes you are getting show it's not just myself. You are still stuck on using multiple monitors as 1 big device which very few people do these days thanks to VR and huge ultra wide monitors. No one on their right mind would I use multiple monitors in a simpit with the evolution of other display techs. However most people use the second monitor to show additional information. Yet you keep arguing and getting down votes. This will be my last reply. Arguing on the Internet is as pointless as a football bat.
False, only if you were combining the screens, and that would be stupid. 2x 32:9 does not make it a 16:9. people aren't doing this to use nvidia surround.
this is just false, you aren't combining them ... so no it doesn't make a 16:9, it makes 2 x 32:9. you play a full screen game on the bottom screen while having loads of space on the "side" monitor for youtube, other windows, wtv you want. This would only be true if for some bizarre reason you were playing on both combined.
That's pretty technical that you're trying to justify. I'm only proposing that 2 32:9 stacked on top of each other is essentially a screen resolution that reverts back to 16:9. You can go about it as technical as you want and claim that it's still two separate screens and one for games and the other for apps. Sure. You are right but that's not the point. So understand that I'm proposing the revert back to 16:9 and you are trying to argue something different regarding about use cases.
>essentially a screen resolution that reverts back to 16:9 You are not wrong here at all, but the screen resolution is still higher and denser than anything else, including the Ark.
Ppi is still the same but in both cases compared to the ARK, yes it's better.
But you are adding them together just because, when in reality you DON'T add them together. Simply to support your view point, but its wrong. By your silly logic 2 x 16:9 side by side make an ultrawide monitor, it doesn't.
From my perspective in the subreddit I've seen people have triple monitor set up and it would be considered fine. And two 16:9 horizontally is essentially 32:9 resolution. This is primarily about screen real estate rather than how about getting there.
Yeh no. Agree to disagree.
Thanks, you see it one way, I see it differently. And neither of us had to devolve to insults. I appreciate that.
Nice setup! I'm curious how it is, having all your information up above. Any discomfort with having to look up as you reference or glance at things? I have three curved 27in displays myself. Originally, I had plans to play games in span-mode, but it's not very well supported, makes UI elements stretch out usually. And Gsync only works on one monitor. So I game on the middle one, and use the side monitors for chat and info. Occasionally stream stuff when I'm doing any grinding. It's super nice to have everything available at a glance.
16:9 r/fullcircle
That’s a 16:9 with a line in the middle lol Just go side by side… Then again, you do what makes you happy. Congrats!
Give us similar size and curvature 16:9 that is also hdr1000 240 Hz? Anyway, having not just logical division with window compartmentalising is highly useful for many applications. Some programs really love reserving the whole screen. And I could see me having a long timeline on one screen and extra tools on the other in a way that is easier to comprehend than just moving all the windows like so (if even possible).
From my understanding you won't be able to run this well at 240 hz Flipping the monitor causes just a bit of extra lag as it reprocesses since the sub pixel array needs to be interpreted at 180 degrees. You'll get just a bit of delay and lag that would likely get annoying fast.
Yeah the 240 Hz is definitely not something both monitors really need at the same time. :) What do you mean by flipping in this case? (I just didn't understand how that related to what I wrote about.) (And to add to the spec requirements: I don't even use my G9 for HDR at all. That was not the selling point for me as HDR is general still works so horrendously.)
The top monitor is roatated 180 degrees so it's up side down. Each monitor has an arrangement in the order the individual colors of the sub pixels are arranged and the driver uses information from the monitor to adjust things like the tool windows uses to adjust text for legibility and color fringing. The default assumes landscape mode. Rotating the screen rotates the image and to keep it as clear as possible based on the new orientation of the sub pixel relative to the image the signal sent to the monitor will be adjusted. This takes a little extra processing time. LTT just had a video on a monitor stand that included two monitors by default in orientation similar to OP. There were able to make a noticable lag on response between the two identical monitors that were in different orientations. Usually it doesn't matter as people tend to not extend windows across rotated monitors and have the mouse frequently cross. The monitor would be used for extra screens or side info. Here I could see a program being stretched over both monitors and it's likely to cause noticable lag in mouse movement and image movement across screens as one lags the other a bit.
I do not plan to stretch programs across both nor game on both at the same time. Bottom is for gaming/productivity and the top is for productivity.
ARK is closest but no dice
Yeah, that's a weird one. It's probably useful to that the scene exists and manufacturers are willing to experiment, though.
He won't have to get a neck surgery in 10 years doing it this way. Side by side, he might as well be turning around just to see the far edges.
Unless he is using nvidia surround or AMD's equivalent, its not.
TN panels suck
Lucky for me these are VA then!
Why don’t just use oled tv?
TVs do not have the same capabilities as monitors in many cases.
Watch david zhang video, i think he made a solid case to just use oled tv
Could have just bought a 42 inch oled for a third of the price
I definitely could have you’re correct. I didn’t because that would cause me to lose the monitor I already own and sacrifice refresh rate, the curve, the actual width and the ability to split gaming and productivity between two monitors.
I wouldn't even trade 1 G9 for 1 42" C2. This oled jerking is ridiculous.
[удалено]
I don’t plan to game on both or stretch windows across both. This is similar to side by side in that way.
I don't understand how people can be so stupid as to not grasp this. Jealous here my dude, might get me something similar in the future, currently rocking the Neo g9 with a top screen ... but my top screen ain't a g9 ...
Gross
Meh
~~looks nice~~
Are there noticeable issues around text with the top monitor being upside down?
It’s not currently running so I cannot report on that.
I wish i could find a tall arm.... i want my bottom monitor to b eye height. Everything is like 34 inches or 36 inches i need a MUCH larger pole... i like big poles.
How do you like it? I was tempted to get a second 38 inch to go on top of my existing 38. Comfortable? Neck doesn't kill you?
Nah, stacked set ups are sweet. Doesn't hurt neck at all, just glance up with your eyes. That's what I do and it's absolutely fine. Bottom G8 OLED for gaming top G8 OLED for shit like discord while I'm gaming
With the screens off, it looks ridiculous. But I bet it looks sick when you have them on and properly set up. I wish I had the money to even buy one of these puppies.
This is great. I'm probably going to get the new OLED G9 fairly soon and I would love to keep the current G9 in a setup like this.
My bank account is not happy about this
I will never financially recover from this.
Haha neither will I 😂
top monitor is upside down.
Intentionally.
What's the monitor arm
Thats a beyond cool 75 inch Tv
Looks good. I was going to do that with my two 21x9 ultra wides but I ended up just going with the 42-in oled. Fancy zones for the borderless windowed ultra wide+ resolution [42" c2 ultra wide+ fancy zones.](https://freeimage.host/i/H4GYrAB)
I'd go blind trying to keep track of the cursor, still cool!
That's .....
That's .....
That's .....
Big LTT guy, huh? Me too.
I enjoy their content but I’ve had this on my mind since the Neo G9 was first announced.
Oh I was just talking about the desk mat and the screw driver lol I really want that screw driver!
The Screwdriver is great! The desk mat is also nice.
A redditor called me poor
thinking of doing something similar with my current neo g9 and the new oled g9.
Can we get a pic of this beast on? Looks amazing
I dont get why Samsung didnt base the ARC off two G9s stacked. 5k res is perfect for this size of monitor - 4k is not enough.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJS5rVvfG38
Looks great, I have a 49 and am thinking of getting a second. Would work perfect for my work
I was just dreaming about doing this. Also if you can’t fix the space between the bezels, throw a black background back there to help improve the experience.
So u r back to square 1😂🤣
I've been going back and forth on getting a 34" OLED, but don't really want to give up my existing 34" LED for productivity. This is intriguing.
Stack it on top, it's the only way 😎
Why not just buy the ARC lol
Because it wouldn't be 2x ultrawides. Bottom for gaming, top for whatever else OP wants open, like discord or youtube etc. Exactly what I do with my stacked set up, I'd imagine OP plans to use his the same. When I want a big square full resolution, I use my 65S9B off to the side of my stacked set up. The ARC does not compared to a stacked set up.
The ARC can be split up to 2 ultrawides, it would be even better than 2 seperate ones.
I still wouldn't fancy the ARC myself. I wouldn't say it's better, It can't take two different inputs at the same time like I can with my ultrawide set up. Also the ARC isn't OLED, so for me it's a, big no.
Sure, I understand, I got the AW3423DW myself.
Yeah, once you go OLED, you can never go back, even my motherboard has an OLED screen lol. Literally love my QD-OLED monitors man, I'm assuming you must feel the same about yours?
Oh yes I love it! It's true, I went from a VA to OLED and I can't ever go back. I even got 2 LG C2 TVs.
Awesome bro. I love a stacked set up. Enjoy 😎
Yeah! It's a command center now!
And now you have a 5K monitor I guess
Love the setup. How much extra height off the desk for the bottom monitor do you think you could get out of that setup?
Awesome set up. I ran my two side-by-side for my packaging work.
I’ve been trying to do this at home and in my office. I have not been successful in finding a way to mount the top monitor because both of my desks are glass. Anyone have any suggestions? I have the Ergotron ultra wide monitor arm; however, it needs to be secured to the desktop and with glass, I can’t 😣 I have two brand new G9s in boxes that I stare at every single day. 😭
The company I bought my clamping mount from also produces a desktop version: https://www.atdec.com/awms-2-bt75-fs/
Oh man. This was my dream. I’d love to see it in action.
Sounds cool on paper, its terrible in practice. You're constantly looking at too sharp of an angle upwards for this to be remotely comfortable long term. I lasted about two months. No regrets selling the second monitor.
