Mine is a Phillips 49" with the 32:9 aspect. The reason I picked Phillips is they have a 4 year advance replacement warranty. If anything happens (even stuck or bad pixels) for 4 years, they send me one first, and then I send this one back. I had a 32" one that I lost a pixel on and they sent me the replacement within 2 days. I have had no problems with the current 49" one and it's been over a year. The old 32" one lasted me 8+ years.
The problem with larger monitors is that they tend to get VERY (like heat up the room) hot, but the Phillips one is barely warm above the vents in back, it also has a built in KVM switch and pop up camera, and USB ports, plus speakers (which I don't use but are pretty good). It has 5ms response time, and they have one with a faster time of 1ms, but it wasn't worth the extra $200 at the time to get it. Mine was (at the time) $1,300, but was on sale on last years Amazon summer Christmas thing for $700+change. The price now is about $999 normally but it goes on sale often for about $900. I am very happy with it and I hope it lasts as long as my old one. I do like the space, and the only negative is that it's so large I have to sit back from it a little, so it's actually on a stand behind my desk.
