49″ Super Ultrawide vs Triple 27s

Open in Screen Planner

One sleek 49″ super-ultrawide or the classic triple 27s? Both at 55 cm to compare like-for-like.

Practical Takeaways

  • Setup hassle: 49″ = one mount, simple cabling. Triples = alignment + bezels (bezel comp helps).

  • Side coverage: Triples deliver +62° more H-FOV here (174.7° vs 112.6°) for real peripheral pickup.

  • Footprint: Triples are +9.3 cm wider (122.9 cm vs 113.6 cm). Not huge, but plan your uprights and shifter clearance.
