Hello all-

building a gaming PC. goal is to be able to use with VR, but also planning to add racing/flight simulator accessories.
This computer will pretty much only be for gaming. I dont need the monitor to do much else besides gaming. was thinking of an ultra wide curved display - figured that would give best experience in a cockpit or a car seat. was looking at the samsung G9 49" curved. anyone have any experience with this? is there something better i should look at in a similar price range? should I get 2 or 3 screens instead of one large screen? should i just get a higher quality smaller screen and not bother with the ultra wide? (i dont know, how do normal games like FPS or RPG handle an ultra wide, is there a lot of unused space?

Thank you!
