The 57" Odyssey Neo G9 is such a BEAST, best purchase of the last few years.

I have the 49" Odyssey G9 and I think it's on the upper extreme of how big I'd want a monitor to be. Do you ever think it's too big?

Oh it IS big!

I had the 32" Samsung Space Monitor [0] and I loved it but I wanted another 4k monitor on the side. The 57" Odyssey G9 is literally two 32" side by side without notches or a bar in the middle, so I went for it [1]

Honestly the curve is maybe too much, but I haven't tried a 49" or seen it IRL so I cannot compare them. I got used to the 57" in just a few days tho, and now I'm deeply immersed into everything. FancyZones is good enough for my needs.

I had a 27" 1440p panel before this, and 49" was a natural evolution as it's two 27" 1440p panels side by side.

The curvature is indeed a bit much in the beginning, and I would like to try something like the Xeneon flex next, where I get to choose the curvature.
