Samsung Business C49J890DKN, CJ890 Series 49 inch 3840x1080 Super Ultra-Wide Desktop Monitor for Business, 144 Hz, USB-C, HDMI, DisplayPort, 3-Year Warranty

So far I love this purchase. It has taken productivity for myself to another level. It puts a value on your time. I'm a big spreadsheet guy and always run tons of open windows. Just make sure your graphics card supports the output for this monitor. Ram I believe is important when it comes to running this monitor. As of now the screen is flawless. It could be a better resolution but I strictly bought this for work and youtube videos. The sound quality is ok. The controls are "different". My concern will be longevity of the switches. My biggest complaint so far is 1 hdmi port. Samsung really got cheap on input options. A remote would have been nice for controlling options I cannot give a true rating on this monitor without having for a couple years. At this price point I expected it to last a long time. The warranty on Amazon played a role on my purchase.4/16/23The monitor still runs flawless. No dead pixels and now wall mounted. My biggest complaint is for gaming. The darks are incredibly dark and you cannot see images as well. I play doom eternal and 2016 from a Nintendo switch on here and the darks are just not clear enough to see. The switch may have issues displaying on this type of monitor so I can't fully fault the monitor

This monitor is great! On March 1st, my team of programmers was sent home for Covid, a couple of weeks before the rest of a large corporation was sent home.As a developer, I use a lot of screen real estate. At the office, I had 3 24-inch monitors and my laptop screen. I used them all and dealt with the bevels separating the screens. At home, I had a 23-inch and a 24-inch monitor on my desk.So, in March, I set up a square card table beside my home desk, off to the left. I set-up one of the 22-inch monitors and opened my laptops screen. I would bounce back and forth between keyboards, mice, headsets, and cameras to have meetings and perform my magic work of creating apps. However, after 4 months, I started getting fatigued and feeling claustrophobic. I started looking at 43 and 49-inch Ultrawide monitors. While I would have loved to afford the horizontal lines at 1440, the cost was too much. All my current monitors, other than one of my laptops, were 1920 x 1080. So, I started shopping.The KVM switch of the C49J890 seemed promising, yet I was leery that it might now work. I got it in and I can tell you I am highly satisfied with this layout. Because of working with 22 - 24-inch monitors, this seems more than just getting two 27-inch monitors in one. To me, it feels like 2.6 monitors.It took a little to get my three computers attached and sharing the KVM. Yes, it only allows you to show two systems at a time in PBP/PIP, but you change sources. This is my configuration:- System 1 - Desktop, connects via DisplayPort and USB (PC IN using the USB-C to A cable)- System 2 - Work Laptop, connects via HDMI, external power, and USB-C #1 (Had to by an extra USB Type-C with DP ratings cable)- System 3 - Personal Laptop, connects via USB-C #2 (does not need external power)- Keyboard and mouse connect to the two USB ports- Logitech Web cam connects to the USB CSince this monitor has speakers in it, I was able to remove my desktop speakers. The sound isn't quite as good since I had a subwoofer, but it is still good.The only con's does deal with the interface on the monitor itself. It does a lot, don't get me wrong. But it would be nice if someone (wish I had the time) could interface a Windows and a Mac app to the monitor's drivers and the OSD menu. I have to stretch across the desk and push the different buttons and jog stick to change between sharing sources and moving the KVM destinations.One specific issue is when I have the monitor in Picture by Picture mode (PBP), Work on the left and Personal on the right. So, I'm listening to music of my personal machine on the right (you can decide which source provides the sound to the speakers) and I'm working on code on the left work machine with the KVM switch providing mouse, keyboard, and webcam to it. Then a Teams/Zoom/Webex meeting comes from work. I open the call and realize I cannot hear the other person/people on the call. It took two calls to realize that yes, I need to switch the sound to the left using a two-three button pushes. I have submitted a request to Samsung to provide the ability that the Sound can be optionally set to move with the KVM switch. It will help mitigate my "world ending" situation. :)Also, remember that the PBP doesn't have to be 1920x1080 for each screen (giving the idea of two equal monitors, 50% each). It can set the sources to be 33.3% and 66.6% (left or right) respectively. I find this beneficial when I need to let work be 66% and a personal to be 33% at different times of the day.I didn't try the Samsung software to position windows on the screen, as I have found the Windows 10 PowerToys works great for me with the FancyZones feature.Peace,Keith

The image looks great and now I can handle multiple spreadsheets at the same time without the monitor image differences. Great for stock handling and excel works. The internal speakers do the job, for watching videos or hear music. The speakers are not surrounded but you don't need to by an extra set of speakers and have them clutter the area if you don't need to unless you need to hear that game or movie really good.Great product

First of all I don't completely want to bash this particular monitor as it looks great astheitcally, the 144HZ refresh feels so smooth, but other than that Samsung really failed in the picture quality department.If you need a crisp and good resolution for either gaming, or even working on things like video editing, product development, etc... then do not get this. The resolution just LACKS. On paper it 3840x1080 which may seem like enough, but it is NOT. My other monitor is a 3840x1440p and its just sooooo much better when it comes to resolution. May not seem like a big jump but placing the two displays side by side really shows it.You really see the disparity in resolution when it comes to displaying text. It looks so grainy and incredibly frustrating to look at. I don't understand why Samsung couldn't have upped the max resolution by a little. It would have went a long way.

I did get this product as a scratch and dent but I never did find the scratch or dent!It is a 49" monitor that takes up 48" of space - I love it! Just make sure you have the room!So while there are many inputs, I'm having to get used to using USB C as input/connections to source computers - I have not quite figured it out yet. I've ordered some higher capacity USB-C to USB-C cables so hopefully that will help me out.As a monitor hooked up to my home/light gaming PC, this is great! Easy to set up 3 different apps/browsers across and use them all. Gaming has been limited to MS FS2020 so far and it works great with that 3840x1080 view and aspect ratio. I have a mid to low range Intel NUC that does great with the medium gaming settings.I can't comment on the built in KVM as i have not been able to get computers to successfully use the USB-C inputs yet but it seems promising.
