Nice setup! What's the monitor?
Thanks! It's a 49" Odyssey CRG9. It's rated for 120Hz, but like most Samsung panels you can push them a bit. I currently have it at 144 Hz and haven't had any issues. I got it refurbished on Amazon for $800.
Love mine as well. Works perfectly in linux with freesync, and i've used it to finish off a lot of my Steam backlog.
And 120hz at 5120x1440 will stress even the most beastly cards, so didn't feel like having to go for an even higher refresh rate one.
Protip, putting the taskbar on the left/right side makes sure you don't waste a lot of pixels.
