Ultrade Wide Screens, can't go back

I just bought a curved 2K 34" ultrawide w/G-Sync. It came in yesterday and I've been using it for my second day now.

Dude. I can multitask so seamlessly. Everything is so crisp. I was using a TV before upgrading to this. (Long story. Old one monitor broke) Now I have the monitor and a TV.

Does anyone else use an ultrawide in their set up? Does anyone have more than one? That's something I want to look into. Having two or three for that panoramic look 🤭


My work laptop makes me feel like I'm gonna get eye cancer now though.
yes
I was going to get an ultrawide but my second monitor is too decent to get rid of just yet. I ended up getting the XG279Q and I think its amazing.
I wish I could afford a screen like that. But my current monitor is not too shabby either.

Why not use both? I have an L shape desk now, and having the second monitor to my left is pretty sweet as well. I usually have it open to reference manuals or something.
yes
I just have two standard, fairly large monitors in my set up. I have had no call for anything fancy however that's a very nice monitor OP.

I wish I had the desk space to fit two ultra-wides lol. I currently have two 28" monitors, they do the trick for me. But those ultra-wides are beautiful!

You should post some pictures of your set-up!
Yeah the curve monitors are nice.
🚀 Signature space for sale! PM me if you’re interested.

I'd have to buy a new desk and everything to fit them both on my desk. Can't do that right now.

My desktop isn't here at the house right now so it's not there but it's a pretty computer.  Right now I'm using some laptop, which suckkssss.

Which means I also don't have my mouse pad, keyboard, or mouse. So it's very basic right now :p

You can get a decent L shape for under $100. The one I have was only like 94USD
yes
I have always wanted to own a curved monitor but I think it would be strange for gaming. Maybe just more uncomfortable until i got used to it, not sure but im sure I will bite the bullet eventually.
No, for some reason I don't personally like ultra-wide monitors!
Being a gamer I use a ROG Swift PG258Q Gaming Monitor – 62.23cm (24.5 viewable) FHD (1920x1080), Native 240Hz, 1ms, G-SYNC™

Stay Home, Stay Safe!
Cheers!

Planning to get one too, a 49 inch monitor. I was looking at the Samsung C49RG90 (5120 x 1440p) but seems some new will be released soon, and with damn good design

Odyssey G9
I don't really like ultra wide monitors or curved monitors.

I just have 3. 24" Monitors.
who uses the melt function anymore wtf just do backup startup
Once you go ultra wide its pretty hard to go back.
I use an UW 35inch for everything on the daily, and game on a 32inch when PC gaming, and a Vertical 24inch for discord etc.
