i am almost convinced to buy this screen, i have been asking and inquiring about it for weeks.
I work from home almost 100% and am often on call with colleagues or customers. the integrated camera is therefore very interesting.
i'm an SAP programmer, i've been using your predator 35" for years, but it sometimes feels "small" when it comes to working with programs with different toolbars for creating payrollsheets for several important customers in switzerland, this monitor would definitely be a good solution.
I have read about the KVM function, very interesting, maybe I will also be able to exploit this option to attach 2 laptops simultaneously.
I have one last problem: sharing the screen with other people via Teams or sometimes Zoom or other software.
Question: If I share my 49" screen with someone, who at 99% will have a MUCH smaller screen, will it be possible to share only half of the screen, as if it were a separate screen? In this way this shared half of the screen, for the other people, will remain readable and not too small given the resolution and size of my monitor compared to theirs. hope I have explained myself
With this monitor, you can take advantage of the KVM function to connect two laptops and easily switch between them, while the integrated video camera with auto-framing and noise-cancelling microphone is ideal for frequent video calls.
As for screen sharing in Teams or Zoom, you cannot directly share 'just half' of the screen as if it were a separate monitor. However, you can share a single window or specific application, e.g. one that takes up half the screen, thus making the content more readable for those with a smaller screen. In addition, with software such as Fancy Zones from Microsoft PowerToys you can organise windows into 16:9 zones and share only the window in that zone, facilitating visibility for other participants.
Alternatively, there are tools that allow you to quickly change the monitor resolution while sharing to improve readability for other users, but this is not a native function of the monitor itself.
Therefore, for your need to share only half the screen legibly, the best solution is to share the specific window or application you are interested in, not the entire ultra-wide screen.
