Monitors like LG27GL850 are 1440p 144hz with great color repro. Not ultra-wide, but ultra-wide is not something I personally value

I currently use multiple monitors, and apparently nobody at Apple HQ uses a monitor in portrait mode. Catalina routinely forgets the monitor is portrait and requires manually changing it back _every time the machine is locked_.

Why is this relevant? I'm seriously considering a 1440p 32:9 240hz Samsung G9 so that I can ditch multiple monitors and move to a single display with similar overall screen space just to dodge pesky multi-screen bugs like this. Just docking my laptop and using a massive screen would be SO NICE!

Only thing that's holding me back is I really want 2160p tall in that form factor. Will probably need to wait for DisplayPort2.0

And now the Dell Alienware AW2721D which has 240 Hz https://www.dell.com/en-ca/shop/alienware-27-gaming-monitor-...

I personally can't stand the ultrawides. OS support for a huge monitor just isn't where I'd want it to be. Sure I can install applications to handle window management better and whatnot, but even trivial things like fullscreen video don't work well at all.

I'm a huge fan of the LG27GN950. 4k 144hz glory.
