Just gotta laugh at 120hz at 5120x1440 apparently isnt enough these days. This is like driving a 4k monitor almost at 120hz. You're not going to be pushing over 120fps in a ton of games at that resolution even with a very good GPU.

I'm assuming these monitors need some specialized software installed if I wanted to mimic 2 or 3 monitors or is it driven through monitors firmware? Just wondering if I can use these for work since I cannot likely install any proprietary software in the work laptop.
Most of the time you can either plug in a single display port connection and the setting in the monitor allows for the resolution of 5120 x1440 or you can plug in both display port connections or both HDMI connections and in the monitor settings tell it to act as two separate screens. This is what I do with my 49-in Dell. Absolutely no special software required to run monitors like these.

I have the samsung g9, 240hz, I don't have problems with ghosting. I also have a friend who has one of newer 360 hz for fps, also no ghosting problems - may be unit specific issues.

1xxx series cards from Nvidia can only support 120 hz output. If you want to go above 120, you're going to need to get 2xxx + card.

I have a 3080 and aim to be over 240 hz on fps games so I don't have gsync flicking on and off when hitting the max rate.

If I have a hard time getting 240 hz + all the time, I will cap at 237 to keep gsync on at all times since the toggling can be an issue.

So recommend this monitor to be set at (as someone above aimed for) always above 120, or 117 or less capped to keep VRR active.

I would buy this monitor now if I was still on my 1080ti, my daughter has that card, am on the fence to get this monitor for birthday gift in a couple months.

However, might be able to gett comparable pricing during black friday and be a christmas gift so...what to do...

I don't play video games. Can this be used for work instead of two monitors with a 5 years old laptop?

Trying to display 2 to 3 softwares on normal full size screen at the same time. Any ideas/thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

I have this monitor and dont really care too much about specs. I am very happy with it. Pip works great. As a single monitor has also worked well with my various MacBooks. One thing I noticed though was the monitor stand isn't very secure. When I tried using a monitor arm, it was extremely flimsy. Only 3 out of the 4 screws would stay in place but it never fell so I guess it was fine. Also I'm not sure maybe if I got a defective one, I did buy an open box one in person from the monoprice warehouse for $250, so I have no gripes at that price

I have 2 34" side by sides. They are 2560x1440

How much real estate would I lose on this vs those 2 combined

Thanks
Don't listen to the previous replies. You will not lose any real estate at all. This has the same resolution as your 2 34 inch monitors so the exact same amount of content will be displayed on this monitor. What you will lose is size. This monitor is the same size as 2 27 inch monitors. So same amount of stuff on the screen but smaller screen.

Spend the extra money and get the Samsung G9. Generally on sale close to 900. The curve makes a massive difference and it is a better monitor. I still have this monitor but put it in its box nearly two years ago after buying the G9. I bought a 2nd G9 for my home office because I just couldn't adjust to the difference.

I want to get a monitor like this to replace 3 separate 24" 1080p monitors I have now, but not too well versed in how it would work.

I share my screen often at work and am concerned the screen will look too small from the viewer's perspective. Can this monitor split its screens into 3 via in-built function or does it need some special software?

I cant install any apps on my work computer so would need in-built function to split the sceeen into multiple when I have multiple inputs used.

I took the risk, it does double duty as a roof on my new house constructed out of the box it came in. Worth it!

I have the Samsung version, it can operate in SBS mode. Side by side. Two inputs from same computer basically makes it two 27" 1440p screens. I used 3 24" 1080 screens prior and this is a much better setup. My brother bought it after using mine and he uses it for work on a locked computer. He had windows 10, I had windows 11. The snap functions in 11 are worlds ahead of 10 so he had IT install the upgrade. Occasionally I switch to one giant screen and you can snap 3 windows that are equally distributed or 100% 27" center with two 50% 27" outside. I prefer the 50-100-50 because main thing I'm on in center, other stuff as support. I don't regret the purchase, it's so nice 3 people that used it bought one. My experience is with the cheapest Samsung.

I have a 1660ti card now and I'm wanting an Ultrawide. Not sure I care too much about the 240Hz right now, but would this card do anything? I don't really game much on my PC, Maybe Fortnite and I might try Forza on Gamepass or something.

I was debating between this and the Samsung G9 (in Amazon Warehouse right now)
