I Bought a 49" Ultrawide & It Changed EVERYTHING! 

"it's about as wide as a 55" TV while at the same time being only half as tall" yeah but the price is still twice as much and the picture quality is about 1/8th of an OLED of half the cost or even less the pixel density is pure shit even on the G9 evo and it costs as much as buying 2 top end 55" LG OLEDS ,(C1 or G1) and it's only a shit VA panel , with barely any local dimming zones , I think it has like what 8 whole LED's LOL the light bleed is absolutely horrendous and they have flicker issues up the yin yang don't get me wrong I am totally sold on ultrawide but no 4k and no IPS or OLED ,horrible black levels horrible light bleed ,non existent dimming zones that are so bad you just need to turn the feature off completely, dull washed out colors ,screen door effect especially for productivity and all at double the premuim price of similar width TV but at half the height are all pretty big deal breakers for me , the sad fact is the picture quality still looks like complete ass but then again it does with 99% of computer monitors these days. I known the second I buy the G9 they will make huge improvements and this thing will look ridiculously outdated in 3 years time, especially since these are already pushing 4yo just buy an LG C1 55 OLED and cut it in half, voila . I mean seriously you could get a 55 OLED and cover the top end with black construction paper and have way better monitor for the half the price or the G9 evo just set the resolution to use the bottom half of the screen only , I feel like I am paying twice and getting less than 1/4 b.b.but muh refresh rates, yeah that still does not justify the price increase to me bendable OLED monitors are just coming out now the corsair one that goes all the way to 800R and it is the same width and speculated to be about 1300, Samsung is supposed to come out with a motorized version of the corsair basically and Samsung is playing games with the prices , it was $908 in my cart then it went up to $989 I sign on into another account and add the monitor again and it is $908, then it jumps up to 989 if I don't check out right away,

Whats the specs of your pc? I have a 21:9 1440p ultrawide and my 3080ti gets toasty, to say the least, on sth like control with max settings and 151fps

btw windows 11 got the zoning template u use by default

is your keyboard & mouse wired or wireless ? if so is it Bluetooth ?

​@@andreamitchell4758What did you end up buying? Are you happy with it? And why? Can you give the specs and the price if so?

What brand or model is the monitor that you bought ?

I got a Dark Matter 49" for $850 on Amazon. (looks like they're not on sale that low right now), and it's such a huge step up coming from 2x 1080 monitor setup.

Or add a 27" next to it and you have even more real estate than super ultrawide, with many benefits

Ooh hoo

Size does matter :)

But can you also virtualize a separate display for games that just run better in actual full screen?

I would actually love this feature

Yup an the electric bill is awesome too :)

@@nerolowell2320 I’d say powering one is better than two.

Finally split screen co-op for all your pc games

Its fantastic for sim games!

Yeah waiting is the way to go I agree

I totally agree

Ultrawides are incredible, can't recommend them enough!

have you seen the QHD? it's still too low, it looks like garbage, I just saw the G9 next to the G9 evo there is hardly any difference, the evo looks a bit brighter , but they both looked washed out they both have screen door appearance ,low pixel density, there is no way the evo's price is justified the G9 is the best value when it is on sale for it[s lowest price of 999 or $900 but still WAAAAY overpriced for the extremely poor picture quality I have an old Sony vaio haswell ultrabook from circa 2014 ,this thing has a 13" IPS Sony triluminous display and after using it all these years every single time I look at any other PC monitor they all look like total shit to me , even at 6" I can not see a single pixel ,even if I lunge forward to 3" the blacks levels and contrast are amazing , color accuracy and color brightness are outstanding and viewing angles are near infinitely perfect , of course I can't game on it and not even sure what the refresh rate is but for video and productivity he picture quality is not even close to any monitors I full size PC monitors have seen , OLEDs are advancing at a rapid rate and so are mini LED's and QD TV's these PC monitors are like 6 years behind the curve and speaking od curves we has curves OLED TV's like 10 years ago when the industry gave up on them though now I am hearing they are bringing them back ,also the curved OLED TV's used to be cheaper than their flat counterparts because that is the default state of the panel when it rolls off the fab, they have to flatten them for the flat TV's. They are selling crappy VA panles that not only don't have any local dimming (unless you count the whopping 8 zones on the G9 ) but have no mini LED tech for backlighting, the backlighting in these monitors is in the dark ages and it shows ,it's worse than in a 10 year old bottom of the barrel wulmurt special BF door buster TV, I just got a C1 OLED with 120hz , 240 is ridic but I much rather have 4k ,higher pixel density and an amazing picture as opposed to something that looks like a CFL backlit LCD from 2010 , I love the 32:9 but come on step the game here we are not going to pay these premium prices for low pixel density VA panels with crap backlighting it should be about $600-700 tops for a good 1000R 32:9 4k OLED at 120 or 144hz when you consider that LG can deliver a 55" panel with the same specs for $1000 on sale that is twice the height of these things and when you consider that that is for flat TV and OLED come off the fad curved and it takes more time/ money/resources to flatten it out .

Are the 27 inches horizontal?

Just one?

Yep. Dual monitors is way better especially if you game. I tried a single 49" screen.. ended up selling it. Only good thing is that you dont have a bezel in the middle and less wires lol

Nah you just need to change your games

Same here. I started with the G7, then brought the CRG90G over the G9 (too curved). Best overall monitor ever for me - fantastic for mega excel workbooks, great for gaming. I run a 3080 so can handle the resolution at High for most games

I'm glad you mentioned that cause I feel that gets glossed over. In terms of productivity I definitely agree to discuss the price of this versus the ppi. Dual monitors has served me tried and true.

Could not agree more. PPI is king and these 49" monitors really need to be at 8k for me to consider them

What kind of problems

@@Xueqs it would display these horizontal scanlines across the whole monitor occasionally. Only when certain images were shown...so weird. It hasn't happened in a long time (but still occasionally), so I think it's largely been fixed. And I'm assuming the next gen versions of this display don't have the issue.

@@RalphBarbagallo i see thanks for the reply. I'm watching this because I see them secondhand for like $200-300 and I'm wondering if there's some defect or something cause the price seems really good. But ig they're somewhat old now.

@@Xueqs Well the 1st gen one probably looks terrible compared to the new ones. But I still use it. It's an expensive upgrade to the Mini LED so I'm sticking with this for now. To be honest, the picture quality isn't that great--but I use my desktop mostly for development/work instead of games. I game largely on my OLED TV so I don't mind the display quality issues. I'm sure the Mini LED one looks spectacular though. I've seen the OLED in person and it looks cool--but it's quite a bit smaller (really narrower) than the MiniLED or 1st gen G9. So I'm going to hold out and upgrade to the Mini LED one eventually.

@@RalphBarbagallo interesting. I've been fascinated by monitors bc despite the technical specs being superior like 4k vs 1080p the monitor can actually look way worse.. I mainly care about the best image quality. I use my monitors for work and video editing but also use them for media. And I would like to go from 2 to 1 ultrawide. I mainly want the best picture. Should I go with a smaller newer like 1440p screen you think? My budget is only $300 so I can't really get anything crazy

what do you mean regular ultrawide - like 34 inch ultrawide ?

@@culesamericano9929 It’s primarily my work from home monitor so I don’t use it for gaming. Also OLED at that size is pretty expensive… it’s so big you have to buy a special arm if you want to mount it to your desk, the arm costs $300 😏

Your eyes can get used to anything. It wasn't that long ago that 1280x720 was high resolution for a monitor.

@@precisi0n86 that's true, couldn't agree more about gaming, especially with this gpu situation. But for everything other than games, 1080p hurts my soul. The amount of stuff that you can fit on it and the text quality is just miserable at that scale.

@@MarkSpurrell true, but not at that screen size. PPI wasn't so bad, since monitors were tiny.

55". in 4k is a waste. I have 40" and think this is the max.

@@llothar68 Unfortunately, I'm now 70 years old and my eyes are not what they were at your age. I find that with a 40" screen, I need the zoom set so that I can't get as many lines of code as I want on the screen. It's also useful because my other monitor is a 28" 1920x1080, so the pixel pitch is the same, and I can throw windows from one screen to the other with the text remaining the same size. For what it's worth, I have a friend who has one-sixth vision (registered blind) and he uses a 65" 3840x2160 OLED. He needs every inch of the screen when he's programming.

It doesn't. The curve isn't that drastic. In fact, I have the Dell 49" Ultra Widescreen, and I regret not going waiting for the Samsung G9 series that has a much tighter curve. At normal viewing distances, the edges just aren't pulled in far enough for the best view.

@@bloodgain thanks, bloodgain. appreciate the info. Yeah that Samsung G9 looks awesome. 👍

@@lonewolf_521 the line will still show clearly, you will be able to tell if you look from the side but if you get a larger one than 27" you shouldn't have any issue sitting right in the middle

Which monitor arm are you using? :-) And does it work fine with the LG 49?

Ergotron HX monitor arm. It’s not cheap, but considering how expensive the monitor is, I wanted to make sure it is safe. And it has worked perfectly :) no regrets

@@romeopahati Thank you :-) Can you move it in all directions with one hand? Does it have to be mounted on the back of the desk, or could be mounted on the right side?

Although ... 49" would look amazing on top of the triple setup (*stop it*) 🤣

@@JubulusPrime haha no everytime you had a fact this time

@Michael Benson I guess thats true but I will draw you as the soy wojack so I win

I was thinking of replacing my triple monitor setup with an ultrawide. I saw a YT video on one of these where a commenter said that these monitors are problematic with Zoom and screen sharing - causing issues for viewers on the other end of the call. I have two 1600x1200 monitors on the side and a 1920x1200 in the middle - so a 1080 would be a downgrade for me. If I ever upgrade my PC again I'll be looking at 1440, maybe they'll have Zoom and Teams fixed by then.

@@erichollar5503 thanks Eric!

Yeah I've heard about that. That's an issue. I would expect modern day ones to be as tall as 31/32 inch monitors. Otherwise what is the point in buying one of these super-wides, if you can't fully enjoy it. Might as well go back to triple display and have extra vertical real estate. If you can't put 2 32 inch screens together and compare to superwide and say their the same, forget it.

And I still see newer super wides releasing with 49'. We're not in the days of dual 27-inch equivalent screens anymore (that was the olden days), We're in the reality of 32-inch monitors. (Especially double/triple 32-inch screens). 27 inch so 2017-/2018/2019, were in 2022, nearly 2023 (I mean that was PRE LOCKDOWN, that was wayyy back, that's way behind us now). We should be in the day of dual 32-inch screens/monitors (superwides). In fact I would like to call out these companies doing this. Don't give us the dual 27 inch, give us dual 32 inch. And their still talking/concerned about dual wide, what about triple wide? (Perhaps). But 32 inch should be given.

How much are you looking to spend?

@@darryljack6612 Ideally not more than £800-1000, but there's no monitors on the market atm that I've found with the right resolution and PPI within that budget.

@@jcreek23 The Super ultrawide monitor i personally use for college, gamming, and editing. Is called the "Lenovo Legion Y44W-10" It's 43.4 inches, refresh rate is 144 HZ, Native Resolution is 3840 X 1200 so its native 4k in width but not in length, but its also a step above 1080p. Although it can be overclocked to full 4k at 3840 X 2160, But (at least for me, maybe because my graphics card is only a 1660ti) its only at 60HZ while in full 4K. It has Picture By Picture but it splits into 2 separate 25 inch monitors, it also has really good support for usb type C with two plugins for it in the back. And it comes with a nice Attachable harmon kardon speaker at the base, and lastly it has a 4ms response time. I got mine in May for around 800 USD before tax and shipping, the full thing cost me around 870 USD. Its really great, takes some getting use to but, once you figure out how to properly navigate the settings its a really great monitor. I dont know if lenovo is still selling them on their website at the moment, so if it interest you. You might want to try amazon or ebay. I know its different from what you listed but its not bad.

@@darryljack6612 Ooh I'll take a look, thank you 🙂

@@jcreek23 If you're main monitors just now are 1440p you're going to lose vertical "space" - something that might be important when you're programming (more scrolling!). Maybe it can be overclocked to 1440p though? It's also not that common a resolution ... so not sure what support is like for gaming in 3840 x 1200, and I think is around 91 pixels per inch, so just a little higher than a normal 1080p (at 81 PPI). I had a look at the monitor and in the UK it's around £900 ... so for me it's just too expensive. i.e. I can get 2 x 27inch 1440p monitors at about half that amount, and while I'd love ultra-wide, I'm not sure that extra is worth it (personally). Now .. if there's something similar in size at 1440p for the same price, then I'd be "in" :)
