Some guy on reddit has pics and screenies: https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemaste ... thiccness/
That's a ludicrous bezel-free space to game on, but at "only" 900$ you have to wonder what sort of build quality and dead pixel & RMA policies you'll have to deal with...

In the end it's just "two" 1080p panels, doesn't have freesync or any fancy tech, VA panel not IPS, "aimed for professional" probably means it will be just 60 Hz.

Sadly i'm using an old R9-290 which has Displayport 1.2 so it's limited to 126hz (120hz but had to use Toasty's CRU) with 10bit. There is also a 600khz Pixelclock limit which results in 132hz limit for the GPU itself.
But Freesync 2.0 is working fine.

The low resolution of 3840x1080 on 49" is a HUGE issue... it looks absolutly horrible in Desktop mode. In games it's not that obvious anymore. But the Letters/text in the browser are really bad.

Games are just Awesome. This really is a Replacement for Eyefinity/Surround!

So you weren't bluffing... Noice :clap:
As I'm moving away from 3x 16:9 myself and plunging into triple Ultrawide, I can see how a single humongous panel like this is a valid alternative to consider. Just another set of pros and cons. The MegaWide era is upon us, gon' be fun !
