Same. 2k is a lot for a monitor when you JUST spent almost 2k a year ago...on a monitor.

Have the exact same screen and for a while I was like holy shit Ultrawide 4 LYFE!! was all into it and hype and now I'm thinking I want something different. Just looked on Amazon and I got this one August 2020! Time for something new I suppose. Don't know what else to go with though.

I have no regrets getting the 27" LG monitor, it is great. I do miss the UW format every now and then though. A second monitor might fix that problem but not sure if i want 2 monitors.

Left side macbook (Job1) is on a laptop arm. Dell notebook on the right (job2) is just on a $10 metal stand. I needed another arm kit to mount it to one of my now unused monitor arms. As the ultrawide doesn't need it. Once I get it in the mail I'll readjust a few things so both laptops are on arm mounts.

For arms, you have three options.Left side macbook (Job1) is on a laptop arm. Dell notebook on the right (job2) is just on a $10 metal stand.

Buy cheap arms on Amazon, buy vendor-specific arms if you have Dell monitors, or go all the way and buy expensive Ergotron arms.
Those Uplift arms are basically just the same as the cheap Amazon arms for more money.

I don't need anymore arms I already have them. They came with the desk. I just need their $20 laptop mount for one.

I bought a regular stand rather than arm for the laptop. The reason I had to remove my Ergotron to begin with was the back of m desk doesn’t have a deep enough lip to clamp the standard desk mount on so I’ve got back to regular stands. The stand on the feet of the UW was nice enough that it doesn’t take up much desk estate. That laptop stand hopefully gives me a little more space also.
I also made the mistake of installing Steam and playing a game in ultra wide and it felt terrible going back to my normal gaming monitor. lol

Need to finish a lot of work at present so no gaming until later this week.
PC is high end enough so I should be able to get 4k out of this no sweat. Ryzen 9 5900X, 3080 TI Nvidia, 32GB RAM etc.
I'll post it later as I don't think I showed anyone here but on my desk the PC is mounted underneath it so it can raise without pulling wires and give more desk space.
