Side by side on the same screen, just because I can 🤪

These last two make it a very nice display to work with. Rock solid image, high contrast. It's a 1080p display but that's good enough for my eyes.

You can easily run this with a GTX950, GTX750Ti, GTX1050, GTX1660Ti, RX480, RX580, RTX3060Ti, RTX3070 as the 3840 x 1080 doesn't take too much oomph from the graphicscard to drive it comfortably.

MacMini2018 with Intel GPU works well on this too, it has no speakers, it does have a headphone jack and also has a built in USB hub, the system allows you to control the volume of the hadphone jack with the on screen display.

I got mine at a discount, I payed about half of what these go for regularly.
The stand needs to be quite deep as the display is curved but that looks quite a lot more natural to me with such a large display than a flat screen.

At 49" an ultrawide works on my desk, if it had a regular form factor it would have been too high - cranking my neck up and down too much. It's like having a set of 24" monitors without the bezels. :)

Voorheesretro is doing an awesome playthrough of Hexen at the moment
