A grand for an impractically wide low resolution 1080p screen... seems like a bit of a gimmick? For that money it seems a better idea to me to buy a quality WQHD IPS screen like the Acer X34P which can be had for around £750.

I wouldnt go that far lol. Vertical resolution might be a disappointment but 1080 rows isnt exactly a the end of the world and the display still has more pixels than a 2560x1440 16:9 panel. I'm guessing it's going to be pretty much a stretched 27" 1920x1080 panel given the display is the same height (around 33.5cm) and both have 1080 rows of pixels so DPI will be around 82 - it's going to be pretty soft. Plus, you know..it's a grand.

Pass :/

I would definitely go that far. 1080p is the absolute bare minimum a monitor should be nowadays, so paying a grand for one is pretty outrageous, no matter how wide they have somehow managed to stitch a panel together. I think you would have to be pretty mad to pay that price for something of this spec.
 
No, no, if you mean the resolution is too low for the size of the panel then i agree and i also agree it's too expensive of course. I was just saying it's not a low resolution when you remove the size of the panel from the equation. It's pixel count puts it between a 2560x1440 and a 3440x1440 panel and in fact its closer to the later but on a 49" panel it would be a very low density with a DPI matching a 27" 1920x1080 panel which IMO is too soft for dekstop usage :)

This monitor isnt 1080p, it has twice as many pixels. 1080p = 1920x1080. It's a video standard that was named 1080p because of the number of pixel rows it had and the fact it was a progressive format (ie frame after frame and not interlaced). Why people keep reversing this and using '1080p' to describe everything with 1080p rows is beyond me, its wrong.

You know what is meant in this context by 1080p (it's just a common terms), so stop being a point dexter. It has the same vertical resolution, which for a monitor of this size is pretty horrible. :)
