Here's what it's like to play video games on the widest computer monitor in the world

Perhaps you've thought about it before: What if I stick TWO monitors together to play games in super-ultra-widescreen?

But that's never been a reality, at least for me and probably a lot of PC gamers out there. When you place two monitors together, you get the monitor bezels right down the middle of your makeshift "super-ultra-widescreen" setup. Those bezels get in the way and just don't work in video games.

So Samsung came along and solved the problem by sticking two widescreen monitors together without that unwanted bezel down the middle. It's created the first "super ultra-wide" monitor.

After playing several games on the monitor for about a month, I've decided that the CHG90 and its incredibly wide 32:9 aspect ratio is the new gold standard for enjoying video games. 

Check out what it's like to play video games on Samsung's super-ultra-wide CHG90 monitor:

If you could pick between a regular widescreen monitor...



And Samsung's CHG90 super-ultra-wide monitor...

The impact of just how wide Samsung's CHG90 monitor is lost in the small photo above. Still, I'm going to assume that most of you would pick the wider, better, more impressive second monitor that shows you a lot more, well, game. If you chose the first screenshot, then you do you. 

Regular widescreen monitors have the same so-called "aspect ratio" — 16:9 — as your TV, and it's what we've all been used to for the last decade or so.

Samsung's CHG90 monitor is the future — a super ultra-wide future with a 32:9 aspect ratio that makes almost every video game look better and more enjoyable. It's as if someone put two 24.5-inch normal 16:9 displays next to each other and somehow removed the bezels between them.



Summed up in one sentence, playing video games on super-ultra-wide monitor is better than playing on a normal widescreen monitor.
