Hi,
so i "think" i'd like a 49" curved ultrawide screen with freesync that i can game on and also for work. I currently have a Dell 34" ultrawide and its excellent. It's also good for having 2-3 windows side by side when working. BUT a 49" would be even better.
It would still need to allow me to game, but maybe at 3440 x 2160 and for it centre in the screen with black bars either side, or to one side with maybe a browser window also open next to it. I just think 49" might be too wide purely for gaming, i'd be moving my head from side to side as if i were watching a tennis match.
I have a RX6900XT (see my sig) which has absolutely no issues whatsoever with BF2042 at 3440 x 2160 on ultra high settings @ 144hz.
So hoping it'll handle a 40" bad boy.

Any advice or recommendations would be most appreciated :)

I had no issue gaming on my 49” odyssey and it was perfect for work when used with fancyzones. My only issue was watching films on it and YouTube (borders unless you use an app which isn’t the best). Obviously if you have a large TV for films this isn’t an issue. In the end I just got a Samsung Ark which is perfect for my use.
