yeah, i would go with this one. but "andyyuen" is right, the 1-year warranty bugs me too.

Get a 43" 4k instead of this

The size is kinda misleading because of aspect ratio. It's basically two 27" monitors side by side. While I personally think 1080p sucks at 27", some people seem to be fine with it. Then again if one is spending $1000k on a monitor, what's another $250 lol.

I managed to get a 5 year warranty (1 + 4) from best buy for $200. A no-brainer for such an expensive monitor.

depend how you use it, You can use it as a single 32:9 monitor, most Games support it and look amazing in that resolution.
I've purchased the 5440x1440 about a years ago and even with a I9-9900KF and a 2080ti in most game I cannot achieve the maximum fps the monitor can handle.
I often use it in picture by picture when the game is too demanding 21:9/11:9
Really love the monitor, I don't regret it.

Not sure which Lenovo you mean, the 43"s on their website arent 4k, its an ultra wide like this, just less wide.

The Dell 43" is 4k and is a TV type of aspect ratio, lots of height. Dell makes great monitors, there's a reason so many companies use them.

My boss has the 49" Dell and I'm not a fan (it's too little height for the work I do), I'd much rather have a 32" and a 27" side by side.

FYI amazon has the QHD version at 1250 $ of it with available 0% interest free if you're into that kind of thing...

I myself is REALLY tempted to get this as I believe this would be a great fit for my racing sim.

I have it and it is great. I don't play many games on it but the most ideal type of game would be a racing sim. I got it from visions when it went on sale there but I would have done the 0% deal at amazon if it was a choice.

I'm curious what the differences are between one of these monitors and my QLED Samsung 55" TV that has a 120hz refresh. Other than resolution or widescreen, etc.

DisplayPort and the exotic aspect ratio / form factor. Other than that the TV has better HDR because of FALD.

I bought this last week and returned it yesterday. It's really immersive and makes quite the statement on your desk, but I found the aspect ratio to be a little annoying (not tall enough) and the image quality not all that great IMO compared to my 75" Q80R.

I'm going to wait it out for the LG 48" CX OLED that's supposed to come out in Canada towards the end of October. I know there were rumours that it's release was cancelled here, but a few sites including Best Buy and Gibby's have it up for preorder. Hopefully I can snag one with price protection during the holiday season.

I wasn't criticizing the form factor, I was just commenting on the relative pixel density using form factors users tend to be more familiar with.

For those that worry about the 1 yr warranty - you can purchase the Amazon 4 year warranty for $110. I think this is very good value for the purchase price of the monitor as it is no question asked replacement.
