I bought the Dell 49" monitor about 6 months ago and can never go back. Having three full sized open windows all on the same monitor with no bezel in the middle is an unparalleled experience.

[@thinkcomputers1]

Totally! Can never go back!

[@ryanroas]

Bro do you recommend it over the 43inch ultrawide

[@yeshuayahushua4338]

@@ryanroas I m curious, what is better... But if the Ultrawide has less support in games, the Super Ultrawide has even LESS.

Do you know if you'll be able to swipe between full screens like you can on Macbooks with this monitor?

[@user-un2te8iz7i]

I just purchased the Viotek 49" monitor and Display Fusion. I can get the 3 displays on the screen but they only show up in the middle of my monitor. What should my settings be in order to get the 3 screens on the full 49" display? What are your Viotek settings set at?

[@whatsupbudbud]

I have the LG 34 with gsync. Awesome for games which I don't play that often unfortunately. Main use is for software development where I need two tabs open + another for file browsing/AI prompts. So the IDE takes at minimum 3/4ths of the screen which leaves a small space to click on Slack/other open app. Since I do FE development, I have the browser + dev tools in another monitor which isn't ideal so thinking about the 49" but.. unless I can get a decent return for selling my 34, gonna wait for a few years as the current one cost about 900 EUR.

[@oldmanonyoutube]

Those ultra wide monitors are perfect for sim racing with a steering wheel set-up.

[@AnnisNaeemOfficial]

No need for paid software to split screens if you have an Nvidia RTX card. There's a tool called RTX desktop manager that is very helpful and does exactly this.

[@jimindetran6163]

Powertoys is also for free and its from Microsoft :)

[@CL-es3pw]

I don't recommend 49". The screen is huge and I find it hard to focus in the middle. You have to physically turn your neck left or right. IMO, the 34" or 38" ultrawide is most productive size of monitor.

[@varanid9]

Depends on what you're doing, I suppose. In RPG gaming, the extra space just increases field of view so that you can catch things with your peripheral vision, as you would do in real life. You can still move the mouse around just as much for even better visibility of your surroundings. I can see where it might be kind of a pain for graphics design, though.

[@domagojoinky8262]

I would like to try ultrawide I have a 32in 4k @60Hz, and I would like to move to 3440x1440 @144Hz. Is it an upgrade or downgrade ? I think that I would like more width instead of height.

Will we be able to use 32:9 DFHD resolution on these 32:9 DQHD monitors?

[@MarsieInTX]

My setup is currently three monitors, two of which are 27" curved. I'm running AWS spread across the two 27" monitors and the bezel in between has been driving me crazy. I've been shopping 49" ultrawides the past few weeks, but my gamer husband has been telling me that I don't need anything that big. Your video has convinced me otherwise... Thank you!

[@MarsieInTX]

Update: I got a 34" ultrawide and I hate it. It's everything that I expected. All of the programs that I use for work fight for real estate. I am definitely getting the 49" when the prices come down a little. Maybe a Memorial Day sale or something... 🤔

[@herman7550]

@@MarsieInTX Im curious, why do you hate it?

[@MarsieInTX]

@@herman7550 My 34" ultrawide is my main monitor for AWS. Running the virtual computer with the 34" UW is like having a monitor and a half. Most of the apps have to stack on top of each other, instead of being side-by-side in full view. I'm constantly toggling or clicking from app to app, or using Snip on the real computer and dragging something to another monitor to view outside of AWS while working in another program within AWS. It's inefficient and annoying. For my needs, the 49" is the only way to go. For my husband who would just be playing games, he's probably right, and all he needs is the 34".

[@herman7550]

@@MarsieInTX have you thought about a 38”? I’m stuck between choosing 34 or 38 or 49 and I don’t really know which one to go for. I usually only need two applications open simultaneously, but I like having one of them in full screen

It’s a monitor light bar which basically lights up the desk space and also doesn’t cause any eye strain.

[@vergil993]

Hii there m thinking of buying ultrawide monitor for work and to play games. I have 27inch 4k ips right now. So bit confused between 34 or 49. Should I go directly to 49? Locally hv only few options. Like dell 34 inch 144hz if I hv to choose 34. Acer 49 inch or Samsung cj89 in my mind and this are available nearby. So which 1 should I pick?? Acer or Samsung for better colour reproduction @ 49??

[@thinkcomputers1]

I would say the bigger the better, plus the Acer is 144 hz vs 120 hz of the dell right?

[@chidorichu9388]

I'm in the same boat as you I'm thinking of getting this monitor to replace my Acer predator 34" I got 3 years ago about. Was debating on doing two 34" or this. Is it going to be bad going from IPS to VA? And how is streaming for it? ( I play mobile games mostly for streaming)

[@thinkcomputers1]

The biggest difference between VA and IPS is contrast ratio, I would prefer IPS over VA. As for streaming I really like it. I have my game in the center with streaming tools / chat on each side

I downgraded from a 49. Was way too wide constantly moving my head. Went to a 34 1000R ultrawide. 49 has its place in certain areas but for most it will be more of a trophy than useable

[@broderp]

Going from 27" 16x9 to 38" 21:9 is the best upgrade.

[@bjarkenielsen8515]

I diagree. I went from 27” 16x9 to 49” 32x9, it is incredible for work. Far far superior in my opinion. We all have one,- opinion I mean 😂 I would have preferred 32x10 and slightly taller screen, but it wasn’t an option at my workplace

[@pqsk]

All these ultra wide monitors stretch wide, but then you lose vertical real estate (less lines of code for developers). That's a real bummer.

[@doaldodemoya9412]

you can always flip it vertically, bet that would be enough

[@pqsk]

@@doaldodemoya9412 sure if that's how a dev wants to do it, but not every dev likes that.

[@Shnigi]

That's why I think 34" wide + 27" vertical would be the best combo for dev.

Yeah, that sucks.

[@thinkcomputers1]

Yep

[@watchyamouth5053]

You know I’m gonna do it 😏

[@Seriksy]

What I'm wondering about is this. I know you can set up your screen window so that you can for example play games in the middle, whilst having browsers open on each other side. But does that make the game you're playing displayed in fullscreen windowed mode, windowed mode, or full screen? Because I kind of want a 49", but not if I only can have the game in windowed fullscreen or something like that, because then the game won't run in 144hz?

[@brextondesormeaux518]

I am wondering the same thing. I have a 34inch ultrawide. However, one thing to note, for instance, in WZ2, if you go fullscreen bordeless, then it automatically sets your frames and you have no control. Butttttt, in nvidia control panel, you can control how many frames a non fullscreen app/game can use so that you could technically still get 144hz in fullscreen borderless. I think it depends on the game you play and your nvidia settings. Feel free to reply if you want to chat and I could screen record or maybe show you a live example of my 34inch ultrawide.

[@brextondesormeaux518]

Also, I just discovered nvidia desktop manager. I will play around with it tonight.

I have 2x24" 1080p monitors right now with a GTX 1070. I've got the Samsung G9 coming in the mail but I'm questioning if I'll keep it. I'm sure I'll love the size, I REALLY want these big bezels between my displays gone as well. I'm just wondering if it'll really do much for me outside the cool factor. I know my 1070 won't push games in 32:9. My main use is gaming and web browsing where I've always got two windows open. I guess I'm questioning if a 34" would give me everything I need, while being easier on m GPU, at less cost. Anyone wanna weigh in?

[@thinkcomputers1]

Well you don't have to play your games at 32:9, I typically play at 1440p in the center of the monitor.

[@Sovereign_54]

@@thinkcomputers1 I was thinking of this actually, as I thought more about the issue. Playing in 21:9 while having a task open on the side. Thanks for the reply!

@@Sovereign_54 Glad to help! Enjoy that awesome monitor!

[@patricecomedy]

How did it go over the last year? Would you recommend the 49" over 34 or 38"?

[@Sovereign_54]

@@patricecomedy My situation was quite different than most so my advice has to be taken with a grain of salt but: 1. At that point I was using a GTX 1070, which was not capable of running games at higher settings on this monitor. I needed to run everything on low or medium to have good FPS. 2. I didn’t have a desk and was using a couch and I was tired of moving AROUND the monitor to get up and sit down. This is just my situation though. 3. I HATED not being able to full screen two videos at the same time like you can with two monitors. If I wanted to full screen a KZbin tutorial or something, it would center, and take up the entire display. In practice, this meant I wasn’t able to full screen a tutorial on one monitor while gaming on the other. Which meant I was looking at ads, the tops of comment sections, and a bunch of other junk I didn’t need. This made me feel like I had LESS usable space. I hated it. 4. I now have a desk and two 34” 3440/1440 UltraWides. This is COMPLETELY overkill, but I wanted my monitors to match because it would’ve bothered me. I have more screen space than I know what to do with, it looks awesome as a wrap around on my L desk, and I have my full screen options back. At the end of the day, a 34 or slightly larger is great for gaming. I just can’t ever imagine a single monitor with how I multitask. I’m now using a 4070Ti which can run games well on it, but I would never consider going back to the 49’ even if it were given to me for free. It’s a beautiful display, but it’s limitations are real breakers for me. A 34-38 gives you just as much of an immersive experience as the 49 will.

[@ShadowzGSD]

i hate ultra wide, i prefer height and width, i use a 52" 4k tv for general stuff and have a 32" monitor for when quality counts. can have 4 windows open on the tv and all looks and works good. i have had display fusion for many years, it is fantastic and love the way it is buy once and get updates forever.
