what's the brand model of the current KVM switch used ? With good balance in performance and quality, LG 49GR85DC-B at 5120x1440@240Hz, you can use it as one ultrawide monitor or as two independent sharing monitors (with PBP setup). Attached is the [setup with KVM switch recommended](https://youtu.be/OSWA5INQGDM).

Have the 49” LG. It is an excellent productivity monitor and the 1000R curve is a must have.

Using the LG 49GR85DC for productivity right now. Absolutely the best choice I can imagine. It’s amazing! VA panel is fine for work, and the larger curve really removes distortion at the far edges. In budget too!

I have an LG 49” @240 Hz as my primary and love it. I also can’t have triples in the room I’m in but still very happy.

I've managed to get my work to buy me two 49" Curved Ultragears. I love them and won't consider settling for less, even though I'm only running a 3080 on my personal rig. I'm required to run most games in a window. Still worth it for all of the real estate. I create a lot of Visio diagrams for work and the ability to have the diagram, spreadsheets, RDP sessions, command windows, email, Teams, etc, all open at the same time without window swapping is invaluable.

Don't get an OLED, as good as it is for gaming and movies it is bad to read texts on. Samsung odyssey g9 or lg UW dual qhd, both are great

I am using an LG 49” 120hz curved monitor on my m4 Mac mini. Works fine. No issues, I’m using an 8k hdmi cable

Had last year a LG ultra wide screen 49”. Invoice 1200€. Was perfect…. Now for sale 850€. Replaced it with a Samsung 57” ultra wide Odyssey Neo G9 screen 1750€
