Display Fusion is also nice because there's both an installable version and a freestanding zipped folder version that can be run directly without installing it. My firm's IT doesn't let me install third party programs, but they do allow me to run the version directly from the zipped folder (I haven't pressed too much on *why* this distinction is made, but I did ask and get express blessing to use the program as long as I didn't have to install anything). The pro version of Display Fusion is well worth it.

34” 3.4k-1440 heavy curved widescreen atm. Love it but want to upgrade when the Lenovo p40w-20 40” 5k2k finally gets out of production hell. Basically a 32” 4K monitor in curved widescreen. Dell has one too, it’s available.

Not sure how I’ll explain I bought a $2000 monitor though.

It took me a week to get used to a curve. I was literally a bit ill on day 1 and considered returning it, but then my brain got through it. Had a lot of eye strain day 1-3 too, again thought it was maybe a bad idea to get a curve. Again, brain adjusted.
