LG UltraGear, the gaming brand of LG, launched the 49GR85DC-B, a curved ultrawide gaming monitor with 32:9 DQHD (5120 x 1440 pixels) native resolution, and 1000R curvature. The monitor offers fast 1 ms (GTG) response-time, and 240 Hz refresh rate, along with support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and VESA DisplayHDR 1000. It offers viewing angles of 178°/178°, 450 cd/m² maximum brightness, 2500:1 static contrast-ratio, and 95% coverage of DCI-P3. Inputs include a DisplayPort 1.4, and two HDMI 2.1 connectors.

The monitor includes a headphones amp for the audio input through the DP/HDMI connection, with support for DTS Headphones X.

It's also definitely VA because IPS technology hasn't reached R1000 curvature or 2500:1 static contrast (not even close on either count) and unless they're using Samsung's panel and licensing their firmware secret-sauce, 240Hz VA is currently a big fat lie. IIRC the best VA on the market that can deliver anything approaching a reasonable 80%+ refresh compliance outside of the Odyssey G7/G7 Neo is 165Hz. If they don't boast about a FALD, then probably 16 vertical zones as that costs them almost nothing to achieve and meets the laughably low requirements for DisplayHDR1000, resulting in "technically supporting HDR" but not in a way you'd ever want to use.
i wonder why everyone uses min 2x24 if its too small vertically :D
i have 34'' 1440p and i would swap for bigger
if you want big, you can go for tv. for monitor its impractical to use taller display
But 49 are actually 2 27" screens, not 2 24s. While a 34 is just a wider aspect 27.

if 34 is just wider than 27 .. you can tell that 49 in just wider 34 :D
btw: it wasnt my math, i was just reacting .. so
