49" Wide monitor for your desk !!!!!!
 

I'm not able to find this on the LG's site but it sure looks cool. :thumbsup:thumbsup

LG ULTRAWIDE MONITOR
Stretching 49 inches across, the LG 49WL95 UltraWide Monitor is ideal for those who spend their days shuffling multiple windows. It has a resolution of 5120 x 1440 — the equivalent of two 27-inch QHD screens stuck together — and a PPI of 108, making text crisp and photographs pop. Its USB-C connection can provide power to laptops, a Picture by Picture mode lets content from multiple sources appear side-by-side, and support for HDR 10 and 4K video make the slightly curved screen a great way to take in immersive content.

i cunt a4da 49" Wide monitor for my desk !!!!!! :(

Nor a desk either... :(

I like it!

It may be even better if it were semi-wrap-around, like a big U. Or maybe even like a big O helmet-type thing that you can be lowered over your head after you sit down at your desk.

But like CS, I can dream.

I will wait for the 79 inch monitor @ 8K rez., or maybe I should choose a cheaper option and buy a new pair of glasses ;)

I just ordered the 49" Dell Ultrawide

But according to the PO I wouldn't get it until February. Grr.

I scooped up a 34" curved alienware monitor from amazon. Seems to be the largest curved monitor that still keeps a decent horizontal resolution. The larger ones look weird

i am still good on 18.5 inch LG monitor
idk with monitor that large you have to constantly move your head sideways.,

I run three monitors... I like having one monitor dedicated to each task. I've been doing this for years, back in the day when you had to have multiple graphics cards to do it...

congrats! :thumbsup

Personally I prefer multi-monitor setups as, if one monitor goes, you can swap it out easily enough.

This is a great place to go: Zenview multimonitor setups.

In particular:
https://www.digitaltigers.com/zenview-apex22h.asp <-- smaller size.
https://www.digitaltigers.com/zenview-apex27.asp <-- nice setup with the 27" monitors.

Now, anyone who has dual monitors already knows that productivity increases by at least double over that of a single monitor. Triple monitors, in my opinion, further increased my productivity. But I really like the 4th monitor because you can have stuff like notes, skype chats, slack chats, and other extranneous items opened in the 4th/top monitor while your productivity takes place across the three mains.

I have been using a dual monitor setup since it was first possible in Windows. Love it.

I tried 3 monitors and even 4 at 1 time, but I didn't like it. Partly because my productivity seemed to go down, not up, and partly because of the mess it made of my desk.

My current setup is 2 x iMac 27's connected together to form a single desktop. It works well, but one machine is mostly under utilized, and in the summer my home office gets pretty hot even with air conditioning.

As the machines are 9 and 10 years old now, I've decided its time to replace them with the new iMac Mini 2018, and a 49" Monitor.

I was looking at the Ultra wides for a while, but none of them supported 1440 vertical resolution which is the vertical res I'm most comfortable at, until just recently.

In 1 way I want dual monitors. It's cheaper and I have the flexibility of moving one of them to another machine if I need to. Then again, using a single monitor means less wires, less clutter, and the option to connect multiple computers to it, and even run 2 computers side-by-side, and built-in KVM Controls too.

I'm looking forward to the new setup!

Mark: understood. I have so many things going at any given time to cross reference (navicat for databases, sftp client, multiple instances of ssh, batches, code, spreadsheets, yada yada yada). I used to have to shuffle skype windows and other business related correspondence, like email, back and forth as needed, or monimized. Now i just leave all of those types of apps opened on the upper 4th monitor and never need to close, minimize, or hardly even need to ever resize anything I use during the day.

But I understand what you mean about productivity. Each person's setup has to work for the tasks they are doing, and what makes it comfortable to work with.

One HUGE downside with a multi-monitor environment is that if one goes bad a year later, a replacement monitor -- even the same model, if available -- often requires a boatload of calibration / tweaking to make it look the same as the others.

Regardless, congrats on the purchase. I'll be looking forward to hearing how you like a single large monitor, and that model in particular.

Would be great for music production :thumbsup

I don't need that.

I use 4 screens plus a VR headset, which counts as a 5th screen.

looks badass but I'll stick with my two 21.5" lcds that I picked up a few mos ago.

When I am at my busiest I have a bunch of apps running too and its slow as hell, even on 2 monitors, to move them around and bring whatever I want to bring to the top. It's been a while since I've used 3 monitors but maybe that would have helped.


Bingo. My spouse works from home too and she had a dozen things running at once, all on her 16" Laptop. I begged her to get a dual large monitor desktop setup but she wasn't interested, so I surprised her with 2 x 27" monitors. At first she was mad because it made her office looked "Too Monitor-ee" (!), but after 60 minutes she was hooked. She now wants a 3rd one too.


Yup. But that's not so bad though.

Just found out yesterday that it has been shipped and should arrive today. Woo Hoo, but this sucks because I ordered the Mac Mini and it won't arrive for another 2 weeks. I can connect it to my Macbook air but it won't support the monitor in full resolution I don't think. I could connect it to my PC which will support it, but I'm more of a Mac person and don't want to switch. So probably I'll just leave it in the box until the 'mini arrives.

only equivalent to 2 27 inch screens... not too impressive! Maybe 2x 37inch, at least then the height of the screen would be worth while. Otherwise, other than the length, the image height´s not much more than a laptop :2 cents:

I was checking this carefully. The 49" Ultra wides are the same as 2 x 27" Monitors. The 34" Monitors were too small for me.

Anyway, update! I received it today. As I knew, it would not work with my 2013 Macbook air because I need a Display Port to Mini DisplayPort cable and I don't have one. I tried my Displayport to HDMI cable but HDMI isn't good enough to get the resolution needed, so it sucked.

My Mac Mini with USB-C is 2 weeks away still. :(

But anyway, I connected it to my 2016 PC which has an NVidia card (I forget the model #) via Display Port and it worked well. Auto detect the res and screen size, etc. I played with it for about half an hour. Love it. Can't wait to make it my new desktop.

I was worried that despite it being 49", it still looked small. But once I had it on my desk and in front of my dual 27's, I realized that it's actually the same size. The reason it seems smaller is because there is almost no bezel on the sides, top or bottom. My iMacs have a 1 inch bezel on the top and sides, and about 3 inches on the bottom. My Macs seem like together they make a bigger screen, but in reality its the same size.

i can't imagine working on this one, it is too big for me
