Samsung releases 49-inch desktop monitor with 32:9 aspect ratio

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/06/16/samsung_49_inch_chg90_desktop_monitor/

?x=648&y=348&crop=1

Only $1500 at https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Screen-LED-Lit-Monitor-LC49HG90DMNXZA/dp/B072C7TNC5 !

Seriously, though, I'm sure it's a fantastic monitor.

I like two monitors close together, that's really fun but I find it way beyond my skill level to play two accounts at once.
