If they're selling something that is their brand that is cheap, awesome.
If they're selling something covered by the manufacturer's warranty, awesome.
$800 on one of their products that they themselves warranty? Absolutely not. They are the absolute worst company to deal with.
I jumped down this rabbit hole recently and when with this one from AOC: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&
My only complaint is that USB-C input doesn't allow full resolution and you have to use the USB-C display cable as one of the two KVM links. I originally purchased this monitor to use as a KVM between my work and home computers but in the end the resolution over USB-C sucks so I ended up putting up a separate workstation for work.
For a couple hundred more you get a 4 year warranty with a 1 year advanced replacement warranty and a 1 year accidental damage warranty. Much better deal imo.
You don't even need to do the math if you're not capable. The proof is literally right here:
27" vs 49"

24" vs 49"

Remember that display sizes in inches tell you the size of the diagonal (length of the hypotenuse) and without knowing the ratio of width to hight you don't actually know what the screen area is. Doubling the height of a monitor gets you twice the area. Doubling the width gets you twice the area. Doubling the diagonal doesn't tell you what happens to the area unless you know what the width: height ratio is. For example, if a screen is a perfect square (ratio of 1:1) then doubling the diagonal (and keeping the 1:1 ratio) actually gives you a screen with 4 times the area. If you want to compare the area of screens with different ratios (16:9 vs 32:9) you actually have to do the math.

If this was a $300 monitor, I'd probably care less
