I've gotta laugh at the that dual monitor setup, they've just invented a 16:9 ratio ~ 55" 4K panel...with a big black bar in the middle, for ~ £1700

Good thing it's for the professional market, because no (sane) home user would settle for 1080p vertical resolution on a monitor that wide.

How did we reach a point where home users stereotypically have higher standards than professionals?

Yup, the first thing that came to mind when Anandtech first reported it a few days ago. Why the hell would you do that, you're adding a multi monitor setup headache to your life. They really didn't think it through

It's 4K resolution, but half the height

Why would you pick that over something like this?

Plus gaming is just a whole other league

I think LG's 42-inch 4K monitor with 4 separate inputs makes way more sense. It's also less than half the price.
