Quote from OctoberFox :
Even on a 34" 21:9 monitor it can be a problem. Games that can handle the FOV (or are 2D) look fantastic though. Arkham City, Just Cause 3, and Hitman Absolution I've successfully played in 21:9 with no visible issues. On the other hand, Skyrim and GTAV made me feel seasick.

Bigger problems are with DPI scaling in OS and programs. Setting things in Windows doesn't ensure everything will scale with it, and even when they do artifacts or tiny fonts and icons abound.

That's why widescreen fixer exists, for the games making you seasick

I have the 49" Samsung version of this 5k Monitor. the specs look just like the Samsung minus freesync 2 I bought the Samsung CRG9 last year on sale at BH Photo for $1200.
I use it for work I have this plus an Acer 27" monitor so basically the equivalent of 3 27" QHD monitors. I do software development. I use the single 27" to share on Teams as the 49" monitor is not easy for others to see.

I have a 34" uw and I like it but in some ways multiple monitors are better. For example when apps come up full screen it is stoopid. And lots of apps do this. Or when you try to share a screen in WebEx and the aspect is screwet for everyone without your monitor.
When software catches up to uw's it will be better.
This is the only aspect i dislike about my ultrawide.

Sharing screen with people who are 99% of them using 16:9, which i do nowadays since i connect my work laptop to my monitor.

and if you were a streamer

Nahh, that's the latest from Samsung with a 1000R curve and 1000 nit brightness. This similar to the Samsung crg90 or aoc agon ag493, but with a worse display panel in terms of color gamut and brightness.

The AOC is only $100 more, so if you're spending this much already, that's going to be a better monitor.

The AOC monitor is never in stock. And nowadays it sells at well over $1000

Yeah, I think we all did 😂. It's been pretty solid so far. I think the AOC beats this in most categories but there's obviously a major size difference. So if that's what you're after, just return it and get this.
I didn't realize this was curved. I sent a 32" 4k curved back a couple of weeks ago because it was making me sick when coding.
Currently using 34" Samsung and 32" BenQ, both 1440. Gaming PC has a 32" LG IPS 1440...I have a pretty large desk at home but it's getting full. lol
Quote from 01grander :
Just buy 2, 49 vs 68. 49 is too wide for me, I'd rather have 2 34" stacked.
If my other 32 goes out then I may consider another matching 34. For what it's worth, I went through 3 different monitors before landing on a Samsung. I guess maybe I was spoiled with the BenQ higher end model from 4 years ago and didn't realize colors could be so awful on monitors. I sent back an Asus 34 and MSI 32 in the past 2 weeks. Completely washed out and dull color.

Quote from max1001 :
How comes something like this handles games that doesn't support the resolution? Does it stretch it or is the game letterboxed?
one note: many games allow playing in a 'windowed' way. that should overcome any potential stretching. youtube is your friend, for specific details...

That's what I use. Some games never quite look right no matter how much tweaking. I had pretty good results with LA Noire, but Skyrim has had some issues. I'm honestly grateful for the mods put out there and make the best of it, but for the uninitiated (like me when I first got mine) it's helpful to know what they're getting into.

1440p isn't even close to high DPI at this size. You're not going to run into scaling issues.
I mean, you'd be right if this was a 49" 1440p 16:9 monitor.

Except it's not, it's a 49" 1440 vertical pixels DQHD.

So no, you're wrong. It's pretty high PPI for 100% scaling at desk viewing distances: 108.54 pixels per in

For comparison, a 27" 1440p is: 108.79 PPI: there's a reason they refer to this as being like two 27" 1440p 16:9 monitors side by side.

Or roughly the same as a 20" 1080p screen.

As someone who has quite good vision and comfortably uses a 43" 4k TV (102.46 PPI, equivalent to 4x 21.5" 1080p screens) and has also used 27" monitors at 1440p and found them to be at the edge of her comfort zone for a normal desk setting at 100% scaling, a lot of people are going to need scaling, outside of games (and in some games).

They are the same panel, so go with what's cheaper.

edit: I thought you said CRG90. This one is better than the CHG90.

When doing Teams presentations, always just share the window you want to share. It not only makes it easier to have the shared content fill the attendees screens, but it also prevents any embarrassing IM popups from displaying while you're sharing.

This is an important LPT for everyone, not just ultrawide monitor users!

Neither. From one programmer to another, do yourself a favor and get a 43" 4k TV. Just make sure it's an RGB subpixel pattern one, supports 4:4:4 chroma at 60hz, and don't cheap on the HDMI cable. Expect to need to use the remote to turn it on (most will at least auto turn off with no signal for a couple minutes).

IPS may be preferable for no noticeable corner color shift (I'm using a Samsung 6300 at home, the 43" in it is IPS, but they're well out of manufacture and I don't know what a current option would be short of one of the actual Philips 43" monitors, and I know the VA versions of those at least have subpixel orientation issues. Oh, Dell also has a 43" IPS).

I have a 2019 TCL 4 series 43" at work (as an upgrade from an old Seiki) and it's quite nice, although there's some corner color shift when sitting centered towards it, from being VA. The 2019 5 series 43" (43S525) gets slightly better ratings, on rtings.

Personally I'm waiting to see if the 2020 TCL 6 series will be available in 43" (it seems unlikely, since they've traditionally been 55" and up, but a girl can hope), but the main reason for my wanting that is for HDR gaming. For gaming, the Dell S3220DGF is extremely tempting, but I'm not sure I could stand the step down in screen real estate for coding. For coding, better HDR is pointless, as is freesync.

But if you're still sure you absolutely have to spend a lot of money on a monitor just to spend a lot of money, I'd point out that the CHG90 has quite a lot of rather nasty failure stories. And per my earlier post, I'd make sure that the PPI on one of these 49" DQHD monitors is going to be comfortable for you for coding.
