Right.
Covid happened. I now do a lot of work from home. I need something great for office use - but also for gaming one or two nights a week.
Initially I bought a pair of Hannspree hg324qjb monitors. They are actually surprisingly good, but I saw a good offer on the Dell S2721DGF monitors, and swapped them for a trio of those.
The dell monitors were great, but two arrived damaged. Dell ended up giving me a full refund as they couldn't source replacements for over a month.
So I now need a new plan, and I think I'd prefer to get a single Super ultrawide monitor, sort of 40"+
All of these previous monitors have been 1440p. I have been seriously considering the Asus ROG Strix XG43VQ, but I'm a bit sad it isn't 1440p, and thats going to lose me a decent amount of vertical real estate. Sadly I do quite a bit of spreadsheet work.
I had considered the Samsung G9 49", but I'm not convinced I can justify spending a grand again. I think ideally I want to be Sub £800 all in, but if it is really worth it, I will spend more.
I would prefer IPS, HDR, curved screen, high refresh rate, and 1440p.
I'll be connecting:
M1 MBA, the Desktop PC with an 5700XT, and a MBP 2020 i5 ... all of these should be able to drive big displays... The 5700XT will get swapped out with a 6800XT as soon as this stock madness calms down.
Thoughts? Ideally personal recommendations opposed to 'I've read a review' ....
