1800R curvature so

C=2πr=2·π·1800mm≈11309.mm circumference

Panel is 1194mm wide so (pretending the width spec is not measured in a straight line corner to corner) 11309/1194 = 9.5 (9.471) panels to make a circle.

Thanks! I've been eyeing this since the last front page deal from several months back. I've been looking for a 49" super ultrawide for quite a while but there hasn't been much out there that interests me especially when looking at Samsung's QC issues, burn-in concerns with OLED, and high cost and poor contrast/low refresh rate of most IPS screens. I do wish it had USB-C ports, HDMI 2.1, and a higher curvature but you can't have everything. I don't expect this monitor to wow me but for $680 for a 49" 1440p 165 Hz monitor that's generally well received, this is pretty good value.

Good price. I got it three years ago for around $1k. Never got the camera working though.

Do you have card that will run 4 of these. What card is it. If your card can handle 4 I would do four of these. I think all of theses screens are made by Samsung, lg and two other companies. I have some cheap scepters which have impressed me a lot and that is coming from a iMac, which I believe to be some of the best screens made by lg.

I was literally about to post this deal. I love ultra wide monitors and put in an order this morning. 165hz is really nice to have as well!

I have dual 49 inch monitors already, one is a 3840 x 1080 (32:9) and a 5120 x 1440 (32:9) and just ordered one of these to take the place of the 3840x1080. Most modern games already have support for the 32:9 aspect ratio, really any game from like 2015 or later does. Some older games will sometimes stretch a 1920 x 1080 to fill the screen and look like shit so it may require you to run in windows mode to unstretch it, which is kinda of annoying but it's been rare in my experience. Then in even rarer case, some games don't allow 32:9 due to an unfair advantage, like rainbow six will purposely add black bars to lower you field of view but it works great for like 90% of the titles I've played on them. The experience is similar to using something like Nvidia eyefinity for multiple monitors but no bezel in between to break the image.

An example can be seen here:

Edit: got my aspect ratio wrong, it's 32:9

What is the actual screen dimensions though? I use a 40" 4k TV for my pc. I've been looking at a curved 1440p (my eyes really don't see much difference from 1440 to 4k) but losing out on the vertical real estate just for more horizontal...I just don't know.
