UW monitors are generally not heavy, unless you are using something like a Samsung Odyssey G9. Most cheap monitor arm will work. It makes no difference. They may be cheap, but no perceivable difference from one that cost a lot more. One good brand I have in mind is Northen Bayou.

Yeah, not much difference, sometimes the cheap one may be better too.

I used northern bayou then changed to some brandless that cost $28 and that ended up being better.

In the end most r oem rebranded..

Went to Funan to check AW3423DWF, the fan noise is like gaming laptop. Its current price is discounted at $1,459.

I feel samsung odyssey OLED G8 has better build and better picture. But the price is whopping $2,688. Any idea to get cheaper price for samsung monitor?
the $1459 is online store price? or physical shop price?

Still waiting for 27 inch oled monitors to arrive in sg…

torn between these options:

1. currently looking at Asus pg42uq or Lg 45 oled to replace my 2x27 inch 1440p 144hz monitors for gaming and productivity work using Mac.

2. Replace 1x 27 inch 1440p 144hz with LG 27 oled.

which shop did u go to which have the alienware and samsung monitors for display?

they say the oled g8 is similar to the dw version though
it is the same panel.

but i heard that samsung would over saturate the colours a bit

Qoo10 is usually marked up. That is because you can exchange 5x Mamemon for 100 off 1000. So they will price accordingly. If you get a 20% up to 500 bucks, then that is another story.

usually i wont buy from qoo10, unless got big coupon

the markup too strong already

Asked Best Denki staff on the availability coz LG brochure has it and they have no clue.
Yeah I asked courts Funan, can pre order got 10% off. Maybe I will go for the 45 inch model instead, replace my dual monitor setup. Game and work on same monitor. Hope the lower ppi won’t be much of an issue. Anyway I’m replacing 2x 1440p monitors anyway
