except.. the price came in at $3,500 when I was initially expecting $2,500 max.

kinda puts a damper on my plans. I was gonna buy 2.

but for like $1800 you can essentially just get the same real estate (49" odyssey g9 + 2x 27" odyssey g7) except you have to deal with the annoyance of lining up bezels

is it worth another $1700 just for aesthetics? maybe
Hahaha I made a thread the other day calling you out to watch that video.

Im not into this thing at 3500. Fuk that. I could get a 65 oled or Samsung g9 and still have cash left over to upgrade my racing sim or something.

I'm on the fence. probably gonna sleep on it and then order it tomorrow if I want it.

The thing that looks the nicest is the Ark controller or whatever, so you can easily swap to 4x 27" monitors, 2x 27" and 49" UW, etc.

plus on my current setup, I can't really utilize all the real estate I have to watch youtube or netflix, because 16:9 looks mega awkward with bezels

Awesome setup but what the hell is that long cord or whatever under the TV? The PC case is nice.

It's a super dupe HDMI chord for 4k. I am REALLY bad at cable management.

das it man. I'm still using my Samsung 850 Evo 1TB from like 4 years ago. Waiting for the PCIE 5.0 SSD's to come out this fall and then I'll pick up a 2TB version.

this fall is going to be epic for pc building (assuming supplies are in stock)

Intel raptor lake
Nvidia 4000x series
Samsung 55" Ark
PCIE 5.0
DDR5 ram

etc. etc.

Hopefully a lot of the releases are made official here in August/September and I can have a fully built new PC by November

You see the new corsair xenon bendable 45" ultrawide oled?

Looks sick but I think 3440x1440p at 45" won't be very crisp

Yeah I saw it. looks like interesting tech but not really of any value in practice.

that's 82 PPI compared to like 110 PPI for a 34" monitor of the same resolution

also 99% of people will bend something to one configuration and keep it that way forever. there's no point in having a monitor that can bend 10,000x

I feel like a relic with my two 1440p 32 inch curved Sammys lol

At least I have an 82in 'monitor' in the living room

imo, the only "big" monitors worth having are:

any 34" 1440p 21:9 144hz
LG OLED 48" CX
Samsung Ark 55"
Samsung Ark Odyssey G9 (either version) 49"

all the rest so far seem gimmicky in one way or another

also vesa mounting these things sucks ass. My G9 is sketchy as hell on the largest mount I could find.

do yourself a favor and stick to 16:9 "small" monitors

once you go 21:9 you never go back, you just go forward to 32:9 and then it's just throwing money

so much immersion though

Well I'm trying to extend the life of my PC for another year or two. It's pretty old. 2016 or 2017.

I have a 7th gen core i5 with 16gb and a radeon rx580.

Just ordered 16gb more ram and evga geforce 2060 12gb. I only have a pcie 3.0 motherboard so couldn't upgrade to the 3060. Not sure it would even be worth it, $450 for that card vs the $250 for the 2060.

The pcie version 5 motherboards are out now and it's only a matter of time before the 4060 or whatever they are going to call it comes out. Then I'll build a new system.

I've been wanting to build one of those full size arcade machines with a pc in it. Maybe after I build my next system I'll dedicate this one to good old games and look for a cabinet.

it's definitely the coolest monitor setup I've ever had. I haven't used a 4k monitor in about 8 years and the tech has clearly come a long way.

if I consumed more streaming services or had an Xbox/Ps5 to hook up this thing would really shine

Oh yeah I love it in the winter for sure.


But man, at peak summer if me and my gf were both gaming with our pcs cranking, it would get unbearably hot in my pc room. Part of the reason I ended up getting a new case which helped. My old h710i was terrible.

I am adding a pcie 3.0 m.2 drive, probably the last thing I'll do to this old computer. That should keep me able to play current games for another year or so. Then I'll look at building a new box from scratch.

Wow great price. I'm tempted to buy this also.


I took my old Vizio TV and put it on a rolling stand, like you'd see in a school or something. I live in a ranch style house so I'm able to wheel this TV where ever I want. I might buy this aurus TV to replace the Vizio and have a mobile oled 120hz 4k TV lawl

It's just a nice oled 120hz 4k.

I wouldn't play apex on it, but it's probably good for casual games and productivity. I would use it for my racing simulator if anything

supposedly they are. the reviews for that monitor are outstanding. OLED tech is something else, and OLED + 4K is amazing.

I like feeling immersed in my games, and also like having lots of screen real estate for when I'm not gaming. or even ingame, being able to have YouTube, Discord, Spotify all open and viewable.

I think over the years I've gone bigger and bigger with monitors, but the 55" is finally peak performance. a 48" has everything the 55" has, except the ability for 32:9 for shooters

yeah I'm considering getting one as like a "guest" PC or something. throw my current 3080 build on that 48" 4k OLED and I could do picture editing on that, gaming and other things on the 4090 build. idk. basically just talking myself into spending money

see my response above.

the general rule is that if you're into extreme competitive gaming, you want a small monitor with high refresh rate, so like 24 or 27" max monitor and 240hz+

if you are more casual and want to enjoy things more, then 1440p, 4k, 21:9 and 32:9 aspect ratios all make the gaming experience much better imo

I'm just looking for some input here on some things I'm considering now that the Ryzen 7000 CPUs are out:


- 5900x + x570 motherboard + DDR4 (32gb)

- 7900x + a new x670e or b650e motherboard + DDR5 (32gb) is stupid expensive, mostly because of the motherboards.

The problem I'm having here is that the motherboards are so stupidly overpriced yet seem like they're cutting out so much over z690 and x570 boards. It's one thing if you're going to cut down the SATA ports, but then there damn well better be some m.2 slots to compensate for the "new" storage standard. I need SATA for my use case with some HDDs and SSDs, but I'd be fine sacrificing the number of available SATA drives from the old days if it meant I could upgrade to NVME drives since the price inevitably goes down.

Asrock x670 e Pro Rs- $279.99
This is the only x670e motherboard with 6 sata5m.2, and it's not $400+.
MSI b650 Carbon wifi- $329.9 ($319.99 with rebate)
Again, 6 sata, 4 m.2.

What the actualfukk, AMD?

- Intel Raptor lake is around the corner + z690 motherboards that are pretty damn packed for good quality models + support 13th gen and DDR5.

A couple examples:
Asus ROG Strix z670 F Gaming Wifi$339.99
6 SATA, 4 m.2 slots

MSI MPG Z690 CARBON WIFI DDR5 - $369.99

6 SATA,5m.2 slots

Like,bruh. You can get good quality stuff with the Intel boards that by no means are going to be outdated seeing as how nothing even uses PCIE 5.0, including the 3080 ti that I'm planning on keeping for a long while. I'm straight up thinking of selling my AMD parts sitting in the corner since 13th gen is going to be out soon, take the fukkin' loss, and not have to worry about upgrading for several years since I hate going through this PC building/upgrading schite anyways.
I will stand firm, I refuse to kneel - The fury in me is divine
My dark grave awaits, my fate is revealed - But I'm not afraid to die

If you have any problems or need advice, feel free to ask

Your post reads a lot to me like you're convincing yourself to go intel z690, and I think that's a good choice.

Based on what you presented, the intel side is a much better offering for what you need and for your future plans.

I'd not trust a future simple bios update to fix stuff on first gen am5 for the 8000, 9000, etc. Some AMD boards stopped fully supporting features of 1st gen ryzen towards the end

I bought 12th gen intel with the idea that id eventually get a 13700k or 13900k/ks around the time the 14th gen drops for a big discount, and chose the ddr4 route. CPUs are not making the differences they did in the past unless you specifically need a lot of threads at high frequencies. ddr5 probably has another couple years to convince me that it actually matters. pci-e 5.0 is also brand new and it doesnt really matter right now
Good info.

The DDR4 on 12th/13th gen intel is a big deal. I was originally going to go with DDR5 for the best of the best, but the more I read - the more issues I am seeing about DDR5.

Think I will also probably go the DDR4 route and give the platforms a couple of years to mature.
