- I’ve been using Samsung’s crazy super-ultra-wide monitor that’s as wide as two 27-inch monitors stuck together to play video games.
- The CRG9 lets your games play and look at their very best, even more so than a standard size monitor with a sharper 4K resolution than the 1440p resolution on the CRG9.
- I don’t think $1,300 is too high an asking price for this monitor considering people pay as much or more for high-end TVs to play games, too.
- The CRG9 is a symbol of peak gaming entertainment that’s reserved for the PC gamer rather than the console player.

For six months, I’ve been living in an alternate reality playing video games on Samsung’s crazy super-ultra-wide CRG9 gaming monitor,
Now that I’m back to reality playing on a more standard sized monitor, it’s clear that the $1,300 CRG9 is a lot more than just a gaming monitor — it’s a symbol of peak video gaming entertainment.
So it goes, TVs and monitors get better and better with higher resolutions for super sharp graphics and higher refresh rates for smoother gameplay. But few companies have tried to change the shape of your video games quite like Samsung does with its super-ultra-wide monitors.
Samsung’s super-ultra-wide monitors are twice the size of a standard screen, letting games stretch their legs beyond the standard rectangular frame that many are used to. As a result, games are allowed to shine in a way that normally-sized monitors can’t replicate.
And, surprisingly, I don’t think $1,300 is too much to ask for something like this, either. Many gamers connect their consoles to high-end $3,000 OLED televisions. For those who want the best experience on a powerful PC gaming rig, and can afford it, this super-ultra-wide monitor lets your games look and play at their very best.
