Anyone have a suggestion on a larger curved monitor (48"ish) that can run 1 to 2 PC screens and a PS5 for a 2nd or 3rd? Still working from home and at least want work email on one screen awhile playing PS5 on another.
Right now I am running a dual monitor setup thats kinda clunky.

I fairly certain it mentioned original packaging, which it did come in. The box had been opened and it had obviously been pulled out of the styrofoam, but it didn’t look like the stand had been pulled out of the bag or anything else except the monitor.

So I’m going to return this, HDMI ports are as looses as J49’s ladies. Any adjusting the monitor or sometimes just randomly, the display with flicker off and on a couple times.

I thought about just dealing with it, but it’s pretty annoying and I’m sure eventually the ports will just crap out. Not worth it.

The only monitor with 3/4 splits is that big 4k Dell, which is not an UW. Keywords to look for: picture-in-picture (PIP), picture-by-picture (PBP)

So, basically something like the Samsung Odyssee G9 or Neo G9. Alternative may be the LG 49WQ95X-W

Wife says my office is an ad for Best Buy.

Upper left is Chromecast content on a blah 50" Westinghouse
To my left is the new 48" LG48GQ900B (usually kick back and play controller based games on)
Center, primary display is the 49" 32:9 Odyssey G9
Above that is the 32" 1440p 32GP750-B
To the right is a Samsung S8 Ultra 12.4" tablet on a stand in portrait mode
Then the work macbook attached to an older ASUS 34" x34 Predator

Cables and trash everywhere. Got work to do to clean some things up, but this is me for the forseeable future. May swap the x34 out with a Samsung M7 32" 4k monitor that used to be my top-center monitor but wanted a 1440p display to match the G9.

i'm not a fan of doing work on my 34" widescreen and prefer dual monitors for just about everything other than gaming. Maybe if it was one of the few bigger ones you can get now I would like it better.
