Get the Samsung CRG9 for £721 (£379 off)
So, for your seven hundred pounds and change you get a 5120x1440 32:9 monitor with a 120Hz refresh rate and DisplayHDR 1000. You can expect HDR games and videos to look incredible, with stunning highlights and gorgeous colours. The VA panel used here provides super deep blacks, making it ideal for use in dark rooms or in dark game scenes where lesser monitors would start to look more grey than black.
It’s also super immersive, as you can imagine, with the curved screen completely filling your peripheral vision. Seriously, load up one of thebest ultrawide gameswe’ve tested and recommended, and prepare to be blown away. The combination of the contrast, HDR highlights and lush colours makes games likeHorizon Zero Dawn, Assassin’s Creed andForza Horizon 4look absolutely amazing.
Don’t just take my word for it, either.Katharine’s CRG9 reviewis even more positive, and includes some hard measurements too about why this monitor does what it does so well.
As I mentionedthe last time this monitor was reduced- that time to £800 - this is still a lot of money. However, think of it like this - you’re not really buying one monitor here. You’re buying two 27-in monitors, a pretty standard choice for office or gaming use, but you’re getting them with just one stand and with no annoying seam in the middle. Spending £360 on a 1440p 144Hz monitor is pretty standard, so getting two for £721 is pretty good going.
(And even on the best 1440p monitors, you wouldn’t expect more than DisplayHDR 400, a much lower HDR spec that corresponds to a peak brightness of 400 nits. This gets 2.5x brighter - and that makes a huge difference to how good HDR looks!)
