Yes in the US I used the original 32:9 49" in the store for quite a while and wasn't impressed. Human vision is approximately 200 deg wide by 120 deg tall. Or about 1.6:1. To me 32:1 looked extremely un-immersive, having such a tiny vertical viewing area hardly taking up ant of your vertical view. Like looking through a window blind out into the world.

A lot of people don't realize with a crazy wide aspect ratio like 32:9 and limited vertical, characters, anything with detail will look smaller in the center of the screen since it's essentially just a 27" 1440p monitor with 50% wings tacked on either side. 27" 1440p is anything but immersive.

What do you mean by saying 'un-immersive'?

32:9 48.8" panel will give you about the same height and the same vertical FoV as 43:18 34" panel, but bigger horizontal FoV.
 
The CRG9 is exactly two 1440p 27" monitors "melded" together. The center portion of the CRG9 will have exactly the same detail/size of on screen characters/HUD etc as a single 27" 1440p monitor. IE: not very immersive. (actually could be less than the single 27" 1440p as most people would probably push the CRG9 back a little further). 99% of looking/vision will be on the center 50% of the monitor. The 2x50% (one on either end) is just used for peripheral vision.

Just adding more and more horizontal width and not vertical doesn't automatically mean it's superior. Take example a 7680x1080p monitor, who the heck would what that?
 
Does anyone know what type of screen coating this monitor has? I'm hoping it doesn't have the aggressive anti-glare coating my PG278Q's do, I find it to be very annoying. I'm assuming it isn't glossy?

You tried one and didn't like it. Thats enough, don't worry :)

Mine arrived today and its a game changer. Couldn't go back to 21:9. Trialled it on a few friends too and they were all amazed. But everyone has different tastes and as you said, you tried it and didn't like it. Not really much more to it.
 
LG seems to be particularly awful about this in fact... so I have not even a sense as when this can be expected... very frustrating.
