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.
Samsung G95SC - OLED, 5120x1440p, 240hz, 1800R curve
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.
Exactly what I want!
Well it certainly comes highly recommended from me! Never pay full price for it - it's constantly on sale, and it's cheaper now than the best sale price I could find a year ago - at $1100 currently. If you find it cheaper than that, you're in really good shape.
They do have much cheaper versions with the same screen size that are not OLED - but I think it is worth holding out and saving for this one personally.
