Better than anything bigger as I don’t have to keep dragging things to the middle of the screen

Got the LG 39GX950B on sale a couple of days ago, and paired it with some hue lights that mimic what’s on screen. I’ve previously avoided curved screens, but the mild curvature on the lg seems like a good middle ground. I neither blown away by the brightness, nor felt any colors were washed out. Overall very happy with the upgrade and with the setup, coming from a 32” 4k monitor, and really like the light additions

New to the ultrawide life and I'm loving it so far. However I can't seem to find a way to set a second monitor on the same desk in a comfortable manner. I'm also being a little picky because I like my pc on the desk as well. Was hoping anyone had any similar problems and had any advice on maybe a new desk or something else I haven't thought of? Attached is a picture of how I have it set up currently

Before I get crucified for the monitor on top of my rig it's only been like this for 5 minutes lol just running out of ideas

I was shopping for one of these monitors but wasn't sure how many different models had been released so far so I did some digging and put this list together for anyone else wondering the same. Prices are as of 10/11/2026 in the US. Sorry if I missed any other models.

Secret Labs should release/work on the dual 49" heavy duty monitor arms

I finally got my dream pc after grinding for years. 🔥❤️ More for work and productivity as an animator.

The cable the came with it was too short and I had to buy the silkland 6ft dp cable and so far it works at native resolution and refresh rates. I'm also using the new north bayou monitor arm which at first i thought it wont be able to carry the monitor.

Had to add the extra wood support below it just for the peace of mind. 😂

Overall the colors looks amazing. This came without any dead pixel and light leaks so I'm very satisfied to get it at 500us less.

So uhh yeah that all but i feel like im not taking my moniter to the full adventage I NEED REALLY DEMANDING GAMES
cause its like calling a fire department to water your garden

But Actually im Proud To be in The UWMR

Just mounted the monitor on the BenQ ergo arm and am really happy with it. Got a refurbished unit for around $30 USD under retail from BenQ

Installation was a breeze and the quickstart guide made it pretty much foolproof. I don’t think I needed to add the extra support around the base, as the monitor is only around 17 pounds. but I figured it couldn’t hurt. The movement is really smooth and overall seems rock solid. Coming from a cheap Amazon monitor arm, I’m happy I made the upgrade. I initially got a secondhand Ergotron HX, but that was overkill. Anyway, I highly recommend it.

I run my 49" 5120x1440 split with PowerToys FancyZones: a game on the left 2560x1440, Plex or an editor or whatever on the right. The annoying part was the title bar. Set a game to 2560x1440 windowed and Windows adds a title bar of about 31 px on top, so the bottom of the game ends up below the zone. I also wanted my ultrawide to feel like multiple monitors and the borders are in the way of that

So I wrote a lightweight program called FancyBorderless. Whenever FancyZones snaps a window, it removes the title bar and fits the window to the zone:

- games keep their resolution and fill the zone exactly
- resizable apps are resized to their zone, also when you switch layouts (I use 21:9 layouts for some games, so the right side changes width)
- some games put their title bar straight back. For those it parks the title bar just above the top edge of the screen instead
- browsers and other apps with tabs in the title bar are left alone

It sits in the tray, the settings are in the tray menu, and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T toggles the title bar of the window in front. That choice is remembered per app. It doesn't inject anything into games; it only changes and moves windows from the outside, like borderless-window tools do.

This seems like it’s too good to be true? Is this worth pulling the trigger on? It’s $760 no issues according to the seller.
