So, yesterday I saw in person one of those Samsung 49" monitors, and my God that thing is large! It's hilarious. If I had one of those, I would end with neck pain, like if I had watched a tennis match from the net.

I can't believe they've sold enough of those to make a bigger, 5120x1440, model... or maybe it didn't sell enough and Samsung is trying again with a bigger res to see if that changes something.

Well, gaming on ultrawides like that is great if you use them properly - as a way to have better peripheral vision. If you sit too close and do indeed turn your head too much, I guess you might end up with neck pain eventually (though, this is basically 2 wide monitors side by side, something that I've been using at work for some 15 years without any problems).

I agree that distance is key. But it's hard to appreciate how wide that thing is until you manage to see it in person.

I've seen ultrawides before, but even they look small compared to that thing .
