Looks like Asus have launched their new 5120x1440 monitor. Not sure on price or anything but seems a good in between.

Price around £1000-£1100 apparently possible around mid June release.

The Samsung 49" OLED at £1400 looks more appealing.

I'm torn as the KVM and usb C on the Asus is very useful.
Saying that just noticed that the Asus only has HDMI 2.0.
