You should try eBay as there might be some in stock with resellers on there.
yeah, iām looking on the used market. I like the one you have, but Iām thinking I want it curved. Gonna run that down first
No, and I doubt the monitor has built-in split screen functionality. The multiple inputs are for switching between multiple devices.
I hate to contradict Waldo but this can do picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture. So you can have a split screen, or the traditional PIP format of a smaller inset picture over the full screen.
Look at the video on the Amazon page to see it in action.

I personally havenāt messed with this.
Iād go for one of those if they had one with 2160 horizontal pixels. A cursory look shows 1440 as the highest Iāve seen.

This is really important. All the monitor size in the world doesnāt matter if it doesnāt have a high enough resolution. I got a 27ā curved monitor thinking itād be great for side-by-side work, but it was only 1080p so it wasnāt really an improvement over my work-issued laptop. Everything was just bigger and blurrier.
Donāt forget that, with the ultra-wide monitors, youāre not increasing the screen size vertically. Mine is 3840x1080 so there is no problem with the picture quality from the extra width.

Well thatās what I get for not reading the actual product page.

But if Iām already working with 2160 vertical resolution then I would be losing quality.
Iām working with two monitors at 1920 x 1200, so Iām assuming that going to 3840 x 1200 would not be any less resolute?
No. You should experience the same, just wider.

It depends on the vertical pixel density, which will vary depending on the vertical measurement of the screen. Compared to a regular 44" screen, my ultra-wide is half as tall, so it has the same vertical pixel density at 1080 as a regular screen at 2160.
Iād consider this losing quality.

Nope. Itās losing real estate but not losing pixel density so the image sharpness will be the same. The ultra-wide isnāt hobbled because it has only 1080 pixels vertically, the standard ratio screen has to double the number of pixels vertically because it has double the distance to cover.
I guess my point is, the whole point really, is I want to gain real estate without losing resolution. I do video editing and animation with multiple menus and timelines and video windows that require as much high-resolution real estate as I can get. I wouldnāt accept a smaller vertical space to get a larger horizontal space.
Hereās what I mean:
A 44" monitor with 16:9 aspect ratio (i.e. standard widescreen TV) has a screen thatās about 22" tall. With 2160 pixels vertically, thatās 98 pixels per inch.
The screen on my Sceptre 44" ultra-wide is 11" tall. So with 1080 vertical pixels, thatās [drum roll] 98 pixels per inch [cymbal crash].
Dude, I understand what you are saying. This is what I do. But now youāre looking at an 11" high monitor when you were looking at a 22" high monitor. If Iām working with 4K video footage, I have to quarter the size of it just to fit into a 1080 monitor with menus. Iām working with a 27" 5K monitor now. I wouldnāt accept any monitor thatās less than that size vertically but Iād love it to be another half again as wide, at least.
