Would I notice the difference in reality. Bearing in mind I'm an old fart and use glasses :cry:
 

Samsung Odyssey G7 40" 5K2K

Although this monitor has been mentioned in other threads, I don't think there's a specific thread for it yet, unless I've missed it? https://tftcentral.co.uk/news/samsung-odyssey-g7-with-a-40-ultrawide-5k2k-panel-and-180hz-refresh-rate Am very interested in this but, following the CES...

seen that model, but thought it was over a grand, thought bit of overkill for me,but other question was could my 7090xt run that res

The PHILIPS Evnia 49M2C8900LA can be had for £650-750 at the moment, well worth a gander, 5120 x 1440 @ 144 Hz OLED.

Edit: A guy in a build thread bought one and loves it, also posted some pics of the setup and it's a gorgeous bit of kit:

New PC Build w/ Monitor

Hi all, The time has come to finally retire my trusty 11-year-old PC. It’s been a great servant, but it’s really starting to show its age. Since I’m very out of practice, I’d really appreciate the community’s advice on a recommended build to replace it. Another push factor is that my current...

That's true, but the height on 5K2K far more appealing.

Had a 49" and the lack of height always annoyed me (but it was good for racing sims can't lie)

the 5k2k is appealing guess have to weigh it up the Lenovo is a good price around the 550 mark for 5120 x 1440, easier to drive but less detail i guess. my only issue is my system against 5120 x 2160. hmm thinking time.


cheers all for advice

This res is approx 11 million pixels. 4k is 8 million. You are going have to use upscale and frame gen a lot with reduced settings.
