Samsung’s CJ89 is a little bit ridiculous. This 49-inch display is essentially two 1080p monitors glued together seamlessly so that it takes up almost all of your periphery. With a 144Hz refresh rate, this expansive Monitor isn’t sluggish, either. But can you ditch the gaming branding for a business model and still get Grade-A gaming performance?

That’s a necessary question to ask, because the Samsung CJ89 isn’t actually a gaming model - that’s the CFG90 - but it’s a damn sight cheaper at £899. Samsung has stripped out all the AMD Freesync tech and HDR capability that the higher spec, yet older, gaming monitor features.

Won’t settle for less than 4K? Here are the best 4K monitors around.

It’s actually a pretty good tradeoff, as you still get that 144Hz refresh rate, ridiculous aspect ratio, and 5ms response time. Only 25% of gamers actually use AMD graphics cards, anyways.

The CJ89 is built for businesses, but as far as personal productivity in the office goes, I’ve found it lacking compared to a traditional Dual Monitor Setup. Sure, the bezel-less, uninterrupted screen space is lovely, and if you partake in any video / photo editing work it’s a dream (although the lack of IPS panel may not be to your liking). 

But while a dual monitor setup allows me to ‘snap’ four web pages across my entire screen real estate, the C49J89 limits me to just two full-width pages, and I found it endlessly frustrating.
