I have an LG 49" IPS LED Curved UltraWide Dual QHD 144Hz display that is similar and I love it. Same resolution as yours (5120 x 1440). About the only thing that takes getting used to is this: If you're used to 2 or three monitors, you tend to angle them too you. This curve is not as severe as your angled screens, so the working on either end takes some getting used to, as the ends are not 'facing' you as much as separate screens centered on you. Windows 11 has some excellent snap-to presets that work great with an ultra-wide, so setting up seamless 3 or 4 windows is a snap. My most used is the 3-virticle windows, with the middle one being the widest. I really wish they had a 4-verticle one for the ultra-wide, but this can be done manually. I also prefer a 22" monitor set portrait to the left of the ultra-wide that I dedicate to email. But my current work laptop will not push the 6200 x 1920 display. https://preview.redd.it/3ye3iucnul6g1.png?width=1012&format=png&auto=webp&s=4276672d90cb1fe9b4b8683cd8fdf483184de937

I have an LG 49” IPS with 144hz. I don’t know if they still make it but I’m a big fan and it’s great for editing my panoramic shots i take with drones or my cameras.

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€

I recently purchased the 49 inch LG and have regrets - excellent picture but not curved enough for such a wide monitor. I’m forever leaning left or right rather than just turning my head.

I had the LG 49" in the past, so I didn't think it had enough of a curve at that size, but I ultimately sold it. I only used it for productivity: work, coding, and analysis. I felt it was too short for coding, especially since it was 1440p and I didn't get enough use out of the left and rightmost 6" of the screen (again, mine wasn't curved enough). I really prefer my 40" 5K2K ultrawide over a 49" 1440p ultrawide since it's the same vertical size as a 32" 4K 16:9 monitor.

I went from triple Alienware 25 monitors to a LG 49 ultra wide. Yeah you loose a little of the side view but simplified everything so much. I have a single monitor mount attached to the rig takes up less space and it's all just one unit. Also less strain on the PC

I prefer a single ultrawide cause you don't have any bezel in the middle or a side monitor and a main one. I'm using a 49" ultrawide monitor (LG)

I own the 49“ 5K2K since release and I have other LG OLED 4K TVs and have used other QD-OLED, Mini-LED, IPS and LCD Monitors and the colors ob the LGs are the best.
