This is the same as having two 27in monitors side by side .. so it does give you the option of treating it as two monitor or one big one for things like programming.

It really is great as a work / productivity monitor as well as a bit of a bonus for gaming.

I have the 43inch version of this monitor, and it has been an absolute game changer in terms of productivity and gaming. I work tech support, and having all that horizontal real estate really helps with multitasking/ keeping an eye on multiple things at once. Gaming wise unless you're running a legit supercomputer or running older titles you'll probably have to settle for less than 120 FPS, but it's amazingly immersive regardless. I put Apex on very low settings and get around 60 FPS and it's super fun.
I've been eyeing this monitor for awhile, but honestly the 43 Inch has been so nice I may have found my personal sweet spot. I would highly recommend super ultrawides like this though!

You do you. You're forgetting returning anything to Amazon is super simple. If it comes with dead pixels or whatever, just send it back.

Warranty registration is all linked to the serial number. I had to RMA a Evo SSD a few months ago and they just used the manufacture date to determine my eligibility.

If I can save myself almost 50% to take a small risk then sure I'll do it. No one is forcing you to.

I recently picked up the monoprice 49". Hard to go back to a standard monitor now.
How did you get it? It says discontinued on monoprice website.

I just checked back often till it restocked. It didn't take long. Recently it was heavily discounted, but ran out of stock fast. So got it at the normal $749.99 price instead. Still a good deal I think for what you get. I just wish it had a built in USB on the monitor like pretty much every monitor has.

Bought one of these in Feb and it's awesome. They had issues when released but the ones shooing in Feb were then new fixed batch. I'm definitely going to add a second one

749 is not that great deal, considering samsung 49" CHG90 is similar price after students' discount

Why such big wide screen monitors have only 1440 vertical? Never seen 2160.

If it's 2160, it'd be a 4K monitor. See my post earlier, wide screens are not a smart buy.

This model has the same surface area of a 34-inch 4K or 1080p monitor. People get conned easy when they see huge diagonal lengths.

Using the same screen real estate (surface area), if this monitor had 1080 vertical resolution, it would be over 60 inches diagonal. Can see many folks drooling over that spec.

Compared to a sub-32 inch monitor, all these look impressive. You need to think a little deeper to identify the best deal and most useful.

Webex and Teams (not sure about Zoom, haven't had to use it in a couple years) both do terrible scaling of ultrawides even if you're just sharing a window. But you can toggle the monitor into Picture-by-Picture mode so it looks like two physical 16:9 1440p monitors.

That fixes the aspect ratio, but if you've got your fonts scaled below 100% (this monitor is the equivalent of a 27" 16:9 in height) you'll still have the same size issues as anyone else trying to share from a big monitor to a bunch of people on laptops.

It's a pain switching back and forth. I personally keep a 24" 1080p hooked up just for content sharing in meetings. It also keeps me from having to worry about inappropriate IMs popping up at the wrong time. Smilie

I asked myself the same thing, and when I saw that you can put the C1 in ultrawide mode through Nvidia control panel I went out and got the C1 the next day.
Are you talking about 3840x1600? I still don't see the appeal to running ultrawide and I've had many ultrawide monitors. 4K > larger resolution than UW

2019 model...avoid. If you are going to spend $900+ get the 2021 model.

I only play FPSs and the Ultrawide FOV suits them the best.

Im sorry but no. If im buying 1000$ monitor then im buying it new so that the warranty is good and last for a few years. Buying expensive eletronics used on amazon is just a bad idea itself. Also if your going to tell me to buy the extended warranty then i might as well just buy it new anyways.
I just bought a g9… im returning it this week.. terrible qc for such a high item… constant screen flickers

4k users beware: 1440p is a big step down. I had this monitor for a week and returned it. Going from 4k to 1440p is like putting on a dirty pair of readers. It was just something I couldn't get over personally. YMMV.
Would you say this one is better than the LG 49"? Debating on pulling the trigger here

I can't comment on the difference as I only have experience with the Samsung. My point was in reference to the resolution. If you're used to UHD, this probably won't cut it.

Is this something that Best Buy would price match?
