Samsung LC49J890DKNXZA 49" C49J890DKN 3840x1080 Super Ultra-Wide Monitor with USB-C for Business (Renewed)

I bought my set during the pandemic in mid-2020, and both have been working great ever since. Although, it did take quite a few tries (I lost a lot of money on the failures) and a couple of years to find a compatible bracket to support the vertical, dual monitor setup. My second best Pandemic Purchase.

Better than bad

Ok... Side note, it was trashed when I got it. Delivery was a mess it was left propped on the corner of the short end against the wall. But that is not what the review is about, this review is to let you know what you have to have to get the business PIP to function.I bought this for business to effectively have 2 screen in one large monitor, Like I had 2 monitors side by side. I read the reviews and did not see how this was accomplished and thought it was a driver capability. Nope.1. You need a DPI and an HDMI output from your computer (this does not have 2 HDMI ports). Basically 2 video (one with sound) outputs and the PIP will help yo identify which output for which split. The power button serves as a "joy stick" like controller to access menus on the monitor for adjustmentsOR2 you need to purchase/get a third party software the will programmatically split the screen. One option is Microsoft Power Toys the Fancy Zones. It is free and I have watched the youtube vids so it seems to get the job done like I wanted. Another is Display Fusion and the reviews are also very good.Back to the delivery. This is a 45 pound box and it is big and cumbersome and these are expensive.ALSO this monitor itself without the stand is over 22 pounds... Move monitor arms, even the ones rated for heavy monitors are rated for up to 19 or 20 pounds and just cannot handle this much sexiness... Check yours and make sure that it can handle the mass.All this said I have come to the conclusion that the monitors gods are telling me that I am just not cool enough for a 49 inch curved flat screen PIP monitor. I am like a 5 or 6 on the cool scale (being very generous) and this is like an 8.5 and I am just out of my league. Good luck to you!!!

We bought this monitor in May 2021, and it went out today July 2022... Did not last long for the money!

I like the wide screen and is good for business which is what I use it for. Mine initially did not come with a power cord but it was sent by the seller quickly. The resolution seems to have limitations and is not as crisp a picture as I expected. I can't seem to find a setting that improves that aspect. However, I do really like the screen.

Disappointed that it came with no power cord.

I work from home and this replaced three separate 24" monitors. I like the single connection to my port replicator instead of having three cables for the other monitors.It's not explained clearly but you need Samsung's Easy Setting Box program on your computer to easily divide the screen in to thirds or nine other configurations. Once that's done it's very easy to drag and drop a window to the portion of the screen where you want it.The stand is16" from the back to the front of the stand. This takes up a lot of real estate on my 25" deep standing desk. So much that I'm shopping for a 30" deep standing desk. I'm 6'1" tall and I would like for the monitor to be higher so I could look more straight ahead then down. I've also been researching a separate stand that would free up the desk and raise it higher. There are not a lot out there that can handle this 49" and 33 lb. monitor.Overall I'm very happy with it and it makes me more productive. Especially if I need to look at a spreadsheet across the whole 49".
