Summary
PCMag's overall top ultrawide pick at 45 inches — a spectacular substitute for two QHD monitors with great color, strong ergonomics, and creative screen-partitioning features.
A 49-inch 32:9 super-ultrawide OLED that's the equivalent of two widescreen panels side by side. Reddit sim racers and single-monitor setup enthusiasts call it 'amazing' and 'highly recommended.'
Pros
- 45-inch screen replaces two QHD monitors effectively
- Great color coverage for creative and office work
- Plethora of ports for connectivity
- Built-in screen partitioning tools for multitasking
- 49-inch OLED display with stunning visual quality
- 32:9 aspect ratio replaces a full dual-monitor setup
- Ideal for sim racing, flight sims, and immersive gaming
- Magnificent screen praised by both PCMag and Reddit owners
Cons
- Very large footprint requires a big desk
- Not optimized for gaming use cases
- Higher price point for a non-OLED display
- Extremely large — requires a very wide desk
- Very high price point
- Not all games and apps support 32:9 aspect ratio properly
Our take
If you want to ditch your dual-monitor setup entirely, the HP E45c G5 is the most practical large-screen ultrawide money can buy for office work.
If you want the most immersive single-monitor experience possible — especially for sim racing or flight sims — nothing else comes close to the Neo G9.
