A More Vivid and Detailed Gaming Environment

The QLED quantum dot technology delivers a new metal core and supports both approximately 125 percent of sRGB colour spectrum and 95 percent of the Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI-P3) motion picture standard to deliver an exceptionally wide colour range. This creates vivid looking characters and provides a realistic life-view on the games natural surroundings, adding a sense of thrill to gaming.

Samsung’s CHG90 sets the new visual standard for gaming displays by projecting a 32:9 aspect ratio and 3,840 x 1,080 double full HD (DFHD) resolutions across a 49-inch screen. The CHG90 extends the playing field for gamers, with its broad design surpassing industry standards while simultaneously representing the widest monitor in the company’s gaming portfolio. Now gamers can spot their enemies with ease and seize the opportunity by striking first!

As a result, gamers no longer have to worry about the logistics, expenses and central bezel interference that occur when combining multiple smaller monitors together for an expanded view.

Ideal for first-person shooting, racing, flight simulation and action-heavy games, the CHG90 aligns an accelerated refresh rate (144Hz) and 1ms motion picture response time (MPRT) with advanced, four-channel scanning technology to deter motion blur and produce a more consistent picture across the entire screen, bringing out the best in gaming content. This allows for better responsiveness to games, making it run faster and smoother, adding the element of excitement for gamers.

Designed for Next Level Work and Play
