Not sure it is worth the risk.
Just get it. Initially, I saw it on sale, after I did my research, the sale was done and I had to wait for 2 months for the next sale. I got a second one for another computer, a MP monitor via target where they have the same prices as MP, got the redcard 5% and some amount of rebate. Doubt they have open box though.
GLTA!

I do have a large desk w plenty of room tho…. If I were going to do it over w high budget, I'd *consider* the UWqhd instead of DW, (I think that's the 43" same height just narrower) and then get a 4K or qhd next to it with matched heights
Edit: nope the 43 they have here is only 1200 lines not 1440. So id stick w the dwqhd. I got mine on sale for 800, so 600 is 25% off good deal
Also heads up you have to have a reasonably recent video card to drive the "5K" esp if you have a second as well. My only reference is a 3070, which obv has more than enough beef.
One cool feature of the 49" is you can split the screen and use two diff inputs.

I prefer multiple monitors for non-gaming because the seamless transition for a single app/game is typically not a common requirement unlike gaming. So, the downsides of a single widescreen aren't compensated for. Even assuming flexible PBP/PIP capability, wide screens just aren't as easy to switch/set up as multiple monitors especially if you have multiple computers sharing the monitors.
Also if you don't get a wide enough screen that is at least twice the number of pixels as the separate monitors you use, you aren't going to get the equivalent of two full monitors. For 1080p this is easier but if you get to to 1440p, then some wide screens won't give you two full screens with same aspect ratio (have to be 5k or more in width) or they will have letterboxed screens with smaller real estate to keep the same aspect ratio.
There are cases where the widescreens work better. The obvious are gaming and videos where the main focus is center with an immersive peripheral vision.
The wide screen with a good curvature also works better as you go up in screen size even for multi-tasking. I would say anything more than 27 inch monitors is not ideal in multi-monitor configuration unless they are used as two totally independent monitors focusing on only one at a time with some chair swiveling between them (so not comparing two things between screens for example). The seamless curved wide screen works better as you go up in size. They will also occupy less physical space than two very big monitors.
No idea if MP monitors may have similar issues. I believe the MP panels are from Samsung and the electronics for many if not all are from Acer so you may want to google for specific issues with MP or Acer monitors with the Mac Mini. LG monitors would be a safer bet with no specific information for compatibility reasons.

If you want multiple computers (or independent GPUs) attached dual monitors will give more connection and switching convenience.

Thinking about getting the 49". I have the 3090, anyone think the mono price one would be better? I'm considering the lack of gync but not sure if it is a big loss or not

In the monitor settings you first enable Freesync and then in the Nvidia control panel you select Gsysc and its that simple now. It could cause flickering I read which with tweaking you can mitigate mostly. All stuff I read and watched today.
For myself I am slightly hesitant about losing vertical screen space from my 16:9 32 inch but everybody seems to love these Ultra wides for gaming and at $299 sounds like a great time to try it. I will mount my 32 inch right next to it so I will still use it, as it will replace the 27inch on the mount.
I mounted this on the wall with a single arm wall mount bracket. The bracket held, the monitors own hardware bent. It just felt cheap.
I have this on two laptops and my Xbox, I game on my Xbox no issue. I'm happy with the device for working. I couldn't go back to two 27" monitors. I would buy it again, and I paid $899.
