Ultrarm vs Ergotron

I have purchased 2x Ultrarm Vision Monitor Arms. It serves my purpose quite well to support my 57 inch and 40 inch monitors. However, I havent seen many reviews of Ultrarm like other brands. I have seen many brands being discussed on Youtube but they always skip Ultrarm. The most discussed brand is Ergotron. However, even their HX model has less rated capacity than Ultrarm Vision.

The Ultrarm has great quality but I don't know if other brands like Ergotron offer better quality. I have never compared it against another brand physically so I cannot say for sure which is better.

Any thoughts?

Neo G9 + G7 color calibration

Ever since I bought the Neo G9 and G7, I am trying to make them look as similar as possible to make a cohesive desktop layout. Attached photo is when I maxed out the color to 50 on both monitors. Does the photo look oversaturated?

12800x2160p set up complete

Finally! I received my Ultrarms and completed the set up with Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 G95C 57 in + G7 G75F 40 in.

Being alone is a difficult position to be when installing the Neo G9 on an arm. I was afraid of damaging the monitor by accident. Phew!

Hope this will help in the productivity workflow I was imagining. Inshallah!

12800x2160p setup!

I received my Neo G9 today. I had bought the G7 earlier so that I can pair it up with the Neo G9. I still have to buy the arms so that I can vertically stack them as originally planned. Meanwhile I am having the side by side experience.

The monitor is supposed to be the last part of a PC build but I started with it. I am currently running both monitors via thunderbolt on HP Spectre X360 15-eb0065nr which has a 1650ti. I was able to achieve 120 Hz on the Neo G9 and 180 Hz on the G7 simultaneously. On a 2020 laptop! 😄

Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57 inch + G7 G75F 40 inch

I was planning to pair the Neo G9 57 inch with G7 G75F 40 inch and vertically stack them (G7 being on top)

Reason being:

  1. Same pixel density

  2. Same curvature

  3. Same vertical height

  4. Scaling in windows becomes uniform

  5. Both are VA (Although the Neo G9 is mini LED)

  6. I get the 32:9 and 21:9 experience in a single set up.

Downsides:

  1. Brightness will be different with the G7 being dim.

  2. Might cause neck aches if I don't set their height properly

  3. The G7 is 8 bit + FRC while the Neo G9 is true 10 bit.

I haven't seen them paired anywhere on the internet. Probably because they belong to 2 different tiers - Enthusiast for the Neo G9 and mid tier for the G7.

I have seen many people pairing the Neo G9 with OLED G9. That might be useful to use them for 2 different purposes but I am looking for a single seamless productivity environment.

I mainly work with documents -PDFs, MS Word & Excel.

I don't game that much nowadays. If I do, it's just to revisit some nostalgia from good ol days 😁. I am not playing any new titles.

Is VA that bad?

After tweaking some settings in the OSD of my G7 G75F 40 inch, it looks strikingly similar to my laptop's 4K OLED display. Ofcourse OLED is superior but VA isn't really that bad even though my panel is edge lit. Both displays are at peak brightness. The G7 goes upto 350 nits on SDR and my HP Spectre's display goes up to 400 nits. The OLED displays yellow better because it has a warmer temperature setting. The remaining colors appear more vivid on the G7 though. Which is more accurate? Probably the OLED. But the VA looks stunning as well.

The photo taken with my phone doesn't give the real experience but still conveys a part of it.
