**1. How do you currently use your split-screen setup?** (e.g., Triple monitors, 32:9 with FancyZones, etc.) I am currently using a 49" AOC (32:9, 5120 x 1440, 120Hz) monitor. For gaming, I go fullscreen whenever possible. For productivity/general browsing, I use FancyZones to split my screen into 3 sections. The middle partition is set to 2560 x 1440 and the left and right partitions are set to 1280 x 1440. I generally use the middle section for whatever my main task on hand is so work, watching videos, or playing the odd game that doesn't work fullscreen. I typically have discord on my left partition and music on my right partition. I'll also look at reddit and read the news on either one of those partitions. **2. What is the advantage you expect from moving to a 52” 5K2K display?** The biggest advantage would be the extra vertical screen real estate. I would love to have extra vertical space on my left and right partitions for reading and browsing. The vertical space is the one thing I miss about having a dedicated vertical monitor (I don't have the desk space for both a 49" + a vertical). I've pondered getting the 45" ultrawide from LG, but I would need to drastically change how I set up my monitor since I would lose a fair amount of horizontal space. The 52' is perfect because I wouldn't have to lose my horizontal space, and I gain a fair amount of vertical space. Having double the refresh rate that I currently would be really nice as well.

I went from 2x 27” monitors, bought myself a 34” curved as a test and when the AOC 49” went on special I snapped it up. It’s got a nice tight curve and I can either run two apps side by side to simulate normal split screens or if I’m working on multiple PDF or excel designs for forms I can spread them 3-4 wide. Only annoying thing is it attracts comments from all my customers

I use mine for 75% work and 25% gaming. My 5700XT is driving it, and it's been great so far. I'm able to run it at full resolution 120Hz. I can use 4K240, but I'd have to turn off HDR due to lack of bandwidth. VRR doesn't work either for me if I use 4K240Hz. I work in finance so I'm constantly having to edit and manipulate huge Excel worksheets. The only issue I run into is when I have to share my screen with my coworkers. I get around those issues by sharing the specific program instead of the entire screen. I upgraded from a 49" AOC AGON gaming UltraWide, and there's nothing like the 57" Odyssey Neo G9.
