Hey there,

So I am going to be getting a massively bigger desk soon and I have been looking at 49" monitors for a while now and am a little confused which one might suit my needs.

Here is some info on what I will be playing etc:

Star Citizen
Battlefield
Construction games like Satisfactory
Work (Graphic work and training creation)

I have an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and I am not sure if this will handle these kind of monitors?

So I have seen the Samsung G9/Neo but also seen bad reviews about them. I like the Dell 49" monitor but it only has a 60Hz refresh rate! So what monitors would you recommend I look into getting?
 
Hi there,

Thanks for your replies.

I am happy to upgrade my graphics card if I have to that isn't much of an issue.

My problem I think is going to be how I currently work. I have a main PC for gaming etc. and then a work laptop (DisplayPort and VGA connector) and I have a KVM setup so I can flick a switch and either have 2 screens for work or 1 screen for my main pc. Being able to switch back and forth is very handy and I want to keep this setup which isn't possible on the 49" ultrawide monitor. I know you can do PBP but my concern is that the area I have to work in will be smaller than my current 2x27" setup and that is annoying. Plus the area for my main PC will be quite small which is also annoying.

Thus I might have to look at a dual setup but increase the screen size to 32". Would my RX 5700 XT card handle 2 x 32" screens or would I have to upgrade that too?

Really wish I could try out a G9 with 2 computers attached to see if the working space would be enough!
