OT: Anyone use a super ultra-wide monitor?

I use a 49" Philips monitor and it's honestly one of the best upgrades I've ever gotten. It takes up less space than two monitors side-by-side, and the screen space is much more flexible. I use FancyZones to split the screen up into usable chunks, and have multiple layouts I switch between depending on what I'm doing. When working with Daz Studio, I usually have one regular screen size with DS in the middle, and a half-screen's worth on each side with tutorials, reference images, DIM, or just whatever entertainment I need while rendering.

This is how I imagined it would work for me as well. Most of the time, I would use the screen divided up for different things. With a 32:9 aspect ratio, it would be like having my 16:9 monitors combined into one without the bezel separating them. This type of monitor looks beautiful in the videos I've seen of them. Thanks for the feedback.

Anyone use a super ultra-wide monitor? I haven't really looked at monitors for a while since I have two working ones still. However, a review for the CHG90 QLED Gaming Monitor popped up in my news feed today, and now I really want one. It would be a while to save up for it but before that, it would be cool to hear how others like them. Do/would they work good with DS? I don't game much these days but it would be a nice way to play No Man's Sky every once in a while when I jump on. Would you want one if you don't already have one?

 Do not buy the CHG90.  We have several at work that are about 1 1/2 yeas old.  A couple of them are going bad.  Besides, it is only 1080p.  Get something 1440p or better.

I just picked up an LG 35" (1440p) from Costco for $100 off.  It is a great deal, and is fast enough for gaming.

Thanks for sharing. I wasn't necessarily going to buy the Samsung models, and others have pointed out the resolution on that one is probably too low. I have two 23" 1920x1080 monitors set up side by side, and the resolution looks great to me at that size. However, the videos I've seen of these larger, super ultra widescreen monitors reveal how pixilated the images and text look at 1080. I wouldn't get one that's under 1440. It will likely be a long while before I can get one anyway so hopefully the prices will be lower by then.

I appreciate all the feedback. Thank you.
