Regarding the size, the monitor equals to two 27‐inch QHD display stitched together.

The 32:9 aspect ratio and curvature of the screen enables a panoramic view with a consistent focal length across the screen for eye comfort. The advantages of this structure are obvious, especially for post productions tasks like editing, grading and sound design. You can do all of them in one screen and watch your final export in ultra high resolution.

Price: $1699 which is a bit high for a monitor, but it is worth only if you are favorite of multi tasking, multi screens work methodology.
