My use is I need for work windows that I'm actively using in the bottom half and Calendar, Chat, and email in the top. I'm also going to use my personal laptop connected to this and in one of the top windows for that. I currently have a 49" Samsung and it's either add another one which doesn't have the customization or go with the Ark.

The 57" G9 would allow you to look just left and right to view the entire screen. Gaming, you could focus on the center and have the sides provide extra immersion.
For this 55" monitor, you are going to have to sit far back, or you are going to be looking both left and right as well as up and down. It's an excellent monitor quality wise, but I can't imagine many users who would want this size for their monitor. It's best use is splitting the screen into four separate quadrants when multitasking. Gaming wise, it wouldn't be good in most setups.

It's absurdly large and heavy, a pain to assemble, only 4K, and I genuinely cannot think of a realistic use case for the vertical orientation. That said, the size and curve have been fantastic for everyday use and productivity. The amount of screen real estate is incredible, it gets extremely bright, and the panel looks great.
I was worried I'd miss the picture quality of the 48" OLED I was coming from, but I honestly haven't missed it at all.
If you go into it with open eyes about what this monitor is and isn't, it's a genuinely fun and slightly absurd thing to work on. Also worth noting: there are standing desks and monitor arms that can handle the weight and give you a lot of flexibility in how you set it up.
