    outside the fact this isnt for gaming but production etc,
    you do have two 2080ti to run games in 4K@120Hz right?
    lol
    your complaining about a non issue, without even having hw to run this (for gaming).

    I'd say 120hz has made a HUGE difference just on my desktop. I don't even do a lot of gaming, but I can't stand working on a 60hz monitor. 90hz seems to be the magical point where the cursor stops feeling like it is lagging loads.
    I feel 4k exacerbates the issue actually. So 120hz is a huge thing for me on 4k. Shame that most interfaces can't drive that yet without chroma subsampling.
    So yeah, forget gaming. It's about UI smoothness.

    Weird part is they do market it for gaming, but with that size it sort of makes more sense for console gaming, I find it quite hard to use it like a regular monitor. Pretty sure the capability to use as 4 monitors in 1 should be handy for some people though. Freesync would be pretty interesting, but I'm guessing using it with the PbP and freesync would be a huge pain in the...

    Anyway, it's nice to see other options outside our usual LG, Samsung, and so on, especially since from what I know about iiyama, they usually make commercial/enterprise products, so build quality should be pretty good.

    I use a 43" for productivity and love it. I have the Acer ET430K. I usually just split it into 2 windows down the middle. If you do anything that requires a large vertical viewing area, it's amazing. It's like having 2 portrait monitors side-by-side, but with a wider viewing area than a traditional monitor in portrait allows. Took me a day or so to get used to it, but then it felt normal. Next to that I have two 24 inchers in landscape stacked on top of each other on a tree stand. It's been a productivity game changer.

    Personally I hate 16:9 anymore. But something like this for a race simulator is awesome.

    If your gonna sit super close, yea this monitor is a waste unless using a race sim setup.

    I use a similar monitor, the bdm4350. I use it for dev work. To the left I have a generic 21 inch 1080P (Dell I think) and to the right I have a vertical Acer Predator XB271HU.

    I often have Unity on the main monitor, Visual studio on the vertical 1440P and a dedicated surfing VM on the 21 inch. Its seems like a goofy setup at first but after about a day of using it I was hooked.

    at a screen this size its easy to run OS at 1440p reducing lag,
    and at least for me makes stuff easier to see/read :D
