Ive been a 16:9 guy since forever, mostly sticking to those standard 27-inch Dell monitors because they were reliable for work and play but Im finally moving into my new place in Seattle next month and actually have room for a real battlestation setup. I really want to pull the trigger on an ultrawide because Im tired of feeling cramped when Im playing stuff like Cyberpunk or the new Dragon Age.

I know the basics about refresh rates and g-sync and all that but honestly Im torn between going with a massive 49-inch super ultrawide or sticking to a more standard 34-inch. I saw some people saying the 32:9 aspect ratio breaks the UI in some older RPGs which would suck because I still play older stuff like Skyrim or New Vegas on the regular. Also Im kinda worried about OLED burn-in if I use it for work too but the contrast levels look insane for those dark dungeon crawls. My budget is right around $1200 maybe a bit more if its actually worth it for the HDR performance.

Should I go for the Alienware QD-OLED everyone raves about or is there something better for pure immersion that wont give me constant anxiety about static UI elements burning into the screen?
