If you’re one of those people who hated black bars when trying to watch widescreen movies on 4:3 televisions back in the day, you’re going to hate the new ultra-wide panels that Samsung is reportedly making. The monitor experts at TFTCentral got some info on the goodies.
Samsung is apparently prepping up 49″ and 44″ displays meant to mimic a pair of side-by-side monitors in a single frame. Fine details are still sparse, but we know enough to get a good idea of what we’re in for. First off, both panels are based on VA technology, have a tight 1800R curvature, and are offered in a « 3-side frameless design. » TFTCentral says these panels have an impressive 5000:1 static contrast ratio.
The 49″ panel comes in a 32:9 aspect ratio and sports a 3480×1080 resolution that Samsung is apparently calling Double-Full HD.
