49" QLED Gaming Monitor with 32:9 Super Ultra-wide screen

No OLED for me because of burn in. I got the Samsung Neo 49” as my main bottom monitor. Cheaper VA 49” Samsung one on top. For 49”, the Samsung Neo is kinda the best because it’s mini led but they have had lots of issues with quality control and it’s no longer being produced. I got a refurb from micro center for about $1,000 and it works fine 99% of the time on HDMI. If you’re not wanting the Neo, any one with 1000R should be good for productivity. My second setup has the Samsung 49” 1000R VA odyssey on the bottom and an Acer 49” VA on top. I got all the VA ones for $550 or less refurbished on eBay or Best Buy open box

my stack is about 27" tall. i have a samsung neo 49" 1000R on the bottom. cheaper samsung 49" VA 1800R on top. the difference between this and a 55" ark is that the top portion can tilted down and more pixels. bottom monitor is used for gaming and both used for productivity. mine don't go off the desk. you want a decently sized desk for these size monitors

I have a 49" 3840x1080 and I regret every penny I spent on the fucking thing

It's unwieldy for anything but sim racing and the Samsung panel I bought decided to start degrading severely once it was out of warranty. It takes a full 30 minutes now for it to "warm up" and be usable; it is garbled nonsense up until that point. Bonus: because it's effectively 2x27" 1080p monitors, the physical pixel density is absolutely atrocious -- text never looks great. The center of gravity is weird and it's heavy so installing it on anything other than the stand is scary without a second person, and the mounting hardware I used couldn't support the weight well so it was nearly impossible to adjust the pitch. I'd have much rather gone with standard flat panels with a better resolution in retrospect. The thing I bought is effectively a $1000 reminder of my own folly now.

Yeah seems like a pretty good deal. I bought my QLED G9 for about $899. It has 240hz that I underclock to 120hz. I don't know how the QD OLED differs but it seems close to mine but newer.

I am having the same remorse over the Samsung 49” q9 and ready to pack it back up and exchange for the LG 45”… just to ask you - you ‘are’ quite happy with the 45” all in all? It’s the vertical limit that is driving me crazy, it truly feels like 1/2 of a really wide screen.

I have for many years 32:9 old VA Samsung. I am going to exchange it for new MSI 34 21:9 OLED.
