I took the plunge 5 years ago and got a 49inch ultrawide monitor, and honestly it’s great. However, there are a few things to keep in mind. I had tried a curvature of 800R and it was too much for me, so I went with a Samsung C49RG90 which has a lighter curve, and that’s perfect. That said, one thing becomes an issue over time: the lack of height. With a 32:9 screen you get a lot of horizontal space, but in my opinion not enough vertical space, and the ideal format would actually be 21:9. LG released what is almost the perfect monitor, the LG 45GX950, but the curvature is too pronounced for my taste. It’s tricky because some people will love a curve like that. Also it’s crazy expensive. In short, the first thing I would consider is the screen height.

How is the 57" compared to the 49"? Is the 49" a G9? I've got a CRG9 and rly close to pulling the trigger on a 57" and would do a similar setup to this. I think 49" on top would be better, I can't imagine an even taller monitor on top. I've got a little 27" on top of my CRG9 and if my CRG9 was in a proper ergonomic spot itd be pretty damn high up to see the top of my 27".

Cool! Im mostly interested in the uwqhd one. Right now using a crg9 49 inch but 1440p. I'm wondering how much better pixel density feels and the hz :)

A steal. I have one and it’s fantastic (and was more expensive by a long shot, lol). You’ll never look back.
