49UQ950A-W

LG for sure. IPS black, 144hz, debt brightness. I have the Dell U4025QW but sounds like you don't want 21:9. You can also check out the new Dell 52" 6K UW beast.

I own the UW1440p and it's an excellent monitor for gaming. I also play FPS shooters and have essentially the same computer (5070Ti instead of 9070XT), and it's a perfect monitor for that. Having said that, since you can find both for similar prices, I'd probably go with the 5k2k. You guys can always pop in a 5090 or whatever is king down the road, and AM5 will be supported for years.

I'm not OP, but I use mine exclusively for gaming. Perfect balance of performance and quality for the games I play. And yeah, I would not use it for work or text heavy stuff. My Dell 5k2k sits next to it for that stuff 😅

I used to have the LG and it was lovely but that’s way too much for it. I got it a few years ago when it first came out for around 900. I used it as my primary work monitor and have no real complaints. The Dell seems like a safe bet because of the hub/kvm and IPS black but I can’t believe they still do 60hz.

Well, it was mainly for work so didn’t see the need for OLED since I would have tons of static windows on screen. Also at ~110 ppi, I didn’t like what font rendering looked like on OLEDs at similar PPI (this was several years ago). While I think an OLED would be nice for gaming, I still am wary of burn-in. I have several friends with burned in OLED displays already.

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.

If you are heavy text worker like myself, either LG or DELL IPS panel is way better than any kind of OLED variants. DELL also uses LG IPS panel variants, so you can choose based on features and price. In this case, I would recommend LG 49U950A-W, because even the text work appreciates 100Hz or more for smoother scrolling and Windows (fixed: iOS) animations.

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

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€
