I don't like triples, they tend to dominate a room to much, take up a heap of space and I'm not a fan of bezels, with that said that's my opinion.

I wouldn't mind a 45" or so ultrawide, but the current ones are just not tall enough.

I was, but they're small, as I said. 1024 px high these things are a thin strip in front of you. No thanks, I need to work on it as well Therefore I went with the 40" UHD (btw I'll probably upgrade to the 43" version for bigger pixels, I recommend that one to anyone buying, unless you've the eyes of an eagle) Logged Rolz Guest Re: Should I Buy an Ultrawide Monitor? | 2016 Guide « Reply #7 on: June 10, 2016, 03:28:17 PM » Ben has a ultrawide monitor - will see if we can hear what make model he's got.

Great resolution and I find it a nice size for AC. I also installed flux which takes out the blue light at night and still looks superb. You can turn it vertical on the axis but found this feature pointless as I can read three pages of word across the screen and great for spreadsheets.

I'd buy one if they had a 43"-ish one.Edit:Mind you, this one has a nicer res at 1440px vertical.
