Samsung just launched the first 37-inch curved 4K gaming monitor — but there's a catch
While many of the best gaming monitors around try and find a sweet spot within the trifecta of screen size, resolution, and refresh rate, Samsung's latest offering is aiming to be all things to all people. The colossal 37-inch display offers up to 165Hz display refresh rate at a 4K resolution, and while you'll need a powerful GPU to get the best out of it, it's positioned at the apex of a crowded market. In fact, it's the first 37-inch model anywhere you'll find with a native 4K resolution. Sadly, the massive catch is it's currently only listed on the manufacturer's Malaysian storefront, with no whisper on a U.S. or U.K. announcement. In fact, the nature of this listing makes us think Samsung Malaysia has gone its own way and announced this sucka before the company's global HQ was ready to let the world know it's here. While the headline feature (and most obvious consideration) will be the sheer size of the 37-inch display (which isn't ultrawide, either, so reaches pretty high with a 16:9 aspect ratio), the 165Hz refresh rate at a 4K resolution isn't to be sniffed at. While alternatives like Sony's InZone M10S are pushing close to 500Hz, that's a 1440p monitor that's offering a 27-inch display. Not only is the resolution higher here and the screen larger, but there's a nice 1000R curvature to help immerse players into whatever it is they're doing on screen. It's not OLED, however, but it does have VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification to more detail in the shadows, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro is here but there's no NVIDIA G-Sync. In terms of inputs and output, there's a DisplayPort 1.4 option, a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports, and USB ports, but you'll need your own speakers (as is often the case with gaming monitors). Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Pricing-wise, it's up for RM 4,399, which is $1,038 or £780 at the time of writing, but there's no guarantee the monitor will definitely get a release outside of Malaysia, at least until Samsung announces it formally in other regions. As someone using the LG UltraGear 39GS95QE-B I tested for Tom's Guide in recent months, I'm not sure I'm ready to drop my refresh rate to accommodate a 4K resolution, but if you're looking for a monitor for work and play — and happen to be in Malaysia right now — you may find Samsung's offering is worth looking at. The rest of us will need to wait for any possible global release. Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.

Actor Lee Soo Hyuk To Make An Appearance In Malaysia? Samsung Teases Special Guest
We do love a good teaser. If you're a Samsung fan, you may have already heard the news: the brand is set to release a range of new products later this year, including the Galaxy Watch series, Galaxy Z Fold7, and the Galaxy Z Flip7. These latest gadgets are now available for pre-order on the official website. In addition to unveiling its exciting new line-up, Samsung Malaysia also dropped a hint that a certain Korean star may be visiting soon. Could it be a K-pop idol? An actor? Let's find out: Yesterday (Wednesday, 9th July), Samsung Malaysia shared a photo on its social media pages, featuring the silhouette of a male Korean celebrity. 'The arrival of an Ultra foldable demands an Ultra special guest. Any guesses? 👀 Leave them in the comments!' the company wrote in the caption. Unsurprisingly, the teaser had fans buzzing with excitement and speculating about the identity of the mystery star. While there were a few interesting guesses in the comments, the majority, including G-Dragon, had one name in mind: actor and model Lee Soo Hyuk (이수혁). The speculation arose after fans recognised the silhouette, as the 37-year-old had posted a photo striking the same pose on his Instagram earlier this month. If that wasn't already obvious, the 'Vampire Idol' star even commented on Samsung Malaysia's post, cheekily asking, 'Who is it?'. He even reposted the teaser image on his Instagram. While nothing has been officially announced yet, it's clear from the teaser and the celebrity's cheeky reply that Lee Soo Hyuk is set to make a special appearance in Malaysia for an upcoming Samsung event. If everyone (highly unlikely) guessed wrong, then there's no telling what the reaction will be like. Are you excited for the 'mystery oppa' to be revealed soon? Source: Instagram

(Video) It Was Samsung All Along! Viral KL Billboard Search History 'Leak' Mystery Finally Revealed
Last week, commuters were met with a peculiar sight on the LDP highway as flashes of someone's search history were leaked on a digital billboard for all to see. Finally, we're getting some answers on the mystery surrounding the highly personal searches, and no one could've expected the reveal. Yesterday (Monday, 19th May 2025), Samsung Malaysia claimed on their socials that it was them who were responsible for the so-called glitch. The billboard leak was revealed to be an advertisement for their new Gemini Live AI function, paired with an invitation to join their upcoming event. The post on their socials read, 'It was us. Always has been. #DoneClaim', paired with a video that showed hints that were just under our noses. Looking closely at the ad, the billboard not only showcased someone's search history but also an error message containing subtle hints leading to Samsung, such as a direct mention of Samsung Malaysia Electronics and a word play on Gemini. So what was all that for? The ad was a sneaky intro to Samsung's Gemini Live, which feels more like talking to your best friend than an AI model. The AI assistant is ready for download across all devices, but is readily built into the Samsung Galaxy S25 for ease of use for users. Samsung also invites the public to experience Gemini Live at their Samsung AI TalkSpot at The Starhill from 21st – 27th May 2025. Did the billboard ad catch your eye?
