I, know it is not the best 34 inch display money can buy but i am pretty sure i haven't seen a Samsung 34 inch with 3440x1440 resolution for under $500 yet.

1x 34 inch with a monitor arm mounted to the desk and you have all the space you need
I made this switch a few months ago and it's been mostly excellent, except that I can no longer run Xbox one one screen and PC on the other (obviously) which I used to do
Why not? PBP?
Ah. The monitor I bought doesn't have it (Alienware)
The model in this deal supports PBP/PIP so it would be possible to do that.
Two monitors are easier to control … just drag apps between screens. It takes some getting used to resizing on an ultrawide. That being said its still not all that difficult.
add you iPad using Duet and you have 3 monitors
Have you tried the hotkey - Win + left/right arrow?
It automatically moves and adjust window size of an app to fit to left/right half of the screen.
(FYI - Win + up/down arrow toggles between max/restore/min window size)
Very useful for this sort of monitor.
Not really, 49" 5120x1440 might though.
I used to run two 24”. But I got an LG 34” ultrawide for simplicity’s sake. One monitor, one display cable, one stand.
Sometimes I miss the higher resolution of the two 24”s but I’m mainly doing work in Word etc so it’s not a big deal.
Hope this helps.
I use my two 24"s (portrait or landscape, one landscape is still good for videos ) to the sides of my 34".
75h, only 1440p and a VA panel.
I really don't think these are a great investment.
What do you recommend instead for similar price range?
Not curved either… I was a little hesitant cos I thought curved screen would be odd, but it makes the edges so easy to see
I think it's already quite cheap for a VA 34 UWQHD. An IPS monitor, like U3419W, is like 2-3 times the price of this one, although the Dell one has USB-C and is curved but doesn't support VSync and is only 60hz.
75hz is meh for sure wish it was at least 100hz.
Only 1440p? It's an ultrawide.
VA pannels are definitely some of the better pannels.
Trying to work out if Kogan is any better or same same? As same price.

Kogan model is curved. The Samsung in this deal is flat.
From specs in link “Flat / Curved: Flat”.
Depends, do you want 100hz and a curved pannel or 75hz and a flat pannel?
Could 1 x ultrawide 34 inch replace my 27 and 24 inch dual display…..or is two monitors still superior. With the speakers etc on the desk I am a little cramped for room lol.
