Should I get a 49 inch super ultrawide monitor ?
>>
>ultrawide
Nah go 2x24 or 2x27
>>
that size always reminds me of the anon that badly want to sell his for it being too big and it also randomly making scary plastic cracking/popping sounds at any time
>>

3440x1440 34' and never look back.
Super ultra-wides only look good if you gonna post it in a BST on Reddit.
>>
if you are into flight simulator possibly

depends on how worth it that battlestation pic will be
>>
>>109706046
Already have one. The MSI QD-OLED super ultrawide is being sold on eBay for like half price and it seems very enticing though

But if there is tons of issues probably not worth it
>>
>>109706003
I like my samsung g9 49inch oled. Samsung is releasing a newer one with a better panel sometime in 2027.
>>
>>109706148
How is the compatibility for everything ?
>>
>>109706186
Most games run fine on it. A handful need ultrawide mods. You should look specifically at the games you want to play and their compatibility.
>>
>>109706003
Ultrawide is shit for desktop use, 16:10 is what you want.
It's nice for vidya though.
>>
>>109706003
Just buy a 48"+ TV. Don't pay a retard tax and end up with less screen real estate. Don't trick yourself into thinking you need super high refresh rates, you don't.

This but also a vertical monitor next to it dedicated to shitposting
>>
>>109706241
Ultrawide is exceptional at desktop use. A massive productivity jump. In gaming, ultrawides are mid unless specifically simulations. Standard content consumption is also mid.
To recap, the specific use cases for ultrawides are desktop usage and race/flight sims.
>>
I had one. Not worth it, it's,uch better to get two 34" wide ones or three 27" ones.
>>
anything besides 16:10 is a scam
>>
>>109706922
But its WIDE
>>
>>109706945
so is 3 16:10 screens
>>
Curved screens distort reality.
>>
>>109706003
No, ultrawides are only really good for video games. It makes maximized windows obnoxious to use. If you don't use a twm on linux, you'll be clicking and dragging and moving windows around a bunch so you're not constantly looking to one side of your screen.
>>
>>109706003
If you use a twm, you'd be opening extra windows just to keep the text contrained.
>>
>>109707864
Just toggle on floating mode.
Ideally configure it so floating mode is the default until you have multiple windows open
>>
>>109707873
Then you have to move them around.

if you are a serious man, you buy 5k 120hz+ IPS or miniLed 27 inch

>>109706021
Not everything is solved with two monitors. Started job with 2x24" and it was a nightmare. Every single worker who worked with 2 programs every day was happy. I use 3 remote desktops and 2 programs and it's an absolute shit experience, especially under win11.
Had IT provide me a 34" ultra wide curved and I've never been happier in my job.
