Just a single 49" 32:9 ultra wide - effectively 2x 1440p 27" monitors side by side. It’s a MASSIVE improvement over having two bezels lined up straight ahead and always having my head turned to one side or the other, or having my desk set up asymmetrically with a single monitor head on and one off to the side.
It’s rare I need two full 16:9 windows side by side - so for work, 90% of the time I’ve got a 16:9 frame centered, and extra content on the sides (outlook and teams for instance). Window snapping via Microsoft Powertoys - Fancyzones makes this so dead simple, so it’s a quick keystroke to change the snapping zones and then I can do 2 windows side by side when I need it, 2 side by side+my teams, or 3 side by side.
And for play, let me tell you - games and anamorphic films look SO GOOD on this thing. Absolutely LOVE this monitor.
I have “just” two 27"s where one is primary (240hz) im front of me and other is a secondary on the right side for stuff like discord or documentation etc.
Though I am very unsure about the curve. My primary is curved and it kind of sucks for media.
The curve is very slight - it really just brings the corners around a bit so they’re closer to facing you, but they’re not really. I haven’t used a curved screen before this one, I think I wish it was a tighter 1000R curve but I hear people gripe about those.
Some games just support ultrawide resolutions natively out of the box - Balatro, It Takes Two, Tomb Raider 2013 trilogy. Others don’t - and there are good mods in those situations by the community. Flawless Widescreen has worked, well, flawlessly for me on games like FFVIIR and Elden Ring. I got FFXV working I just don’t remember how. And to really drive it, you’ll want a decent GPU - I happen to be using a 3090 and it obviously does the trick.

Not gonna lie, this is tempting.

Also how do you game on something like this?
