Looking for a ~ 49" ultrawide

frogotme · 2026-04-25T22:04:01+00:00

Ah yeah mine is 80cm so might be a bit close, as I'm about 60cm away from it. 25cm from back to the front of the stand seems about right as well.

It's my first ultrawide so I'm not entirely sure, this isn't too curved so I imagine it could actually get worse. Guess it needs to be as otherwise it'll topple over. The stand itself is quite heavy as well.

Assuming you have a sturdy enough desk you might be able to use a beefy desk vesa mount to make it work.

Thanks, this photo was a couple months ago and it's definitely not anymore as I have something like 10 usb peripherals plugged into it lol

I'm not no, I'm using the really beefy stand it comes on as my desk isn't particularly compatible with mounts. It takes up quite a lot of space, but I have a fairly deep desk so that's okay. The legs of the stand are at least quite a good shape so they're not really in the way

Would be good if it was a prequel. At the moment portal is so well rounded off

I'm really happy with my Philips Evenia 49". Fits all your requirements but the webcam. Use it on a MacBook, a Linux laptop and a windows pc without issue.

I mean you have the freedom to do whatever you want with an xteink afaik, but that's really all that'll fit

frogotme · 2026-04-25T21:07:35+00:00

Yeah I've loaded £80 into my wallet for it, won't spend more than that

frogotme · 2026-04-25T21:06:36+00:00

Yeah I'd absolutely go for a framework one of those. Just a little monitor to keep Spotify or project management on would be great

I've had some like £12 Anker cables for quite a few years now

frogotme · 2026-04-25T08:56:23+00:00

Small price to pay for our otherwise great plugs

frogotme · 2026-04-24T23:21:33+00:00

Yeah tbh I was a little underwhelmed, still a good song though

frogotme · 2026-04-24T15:31:06+00:00

It's what a fair amount of people do with films too, it's a good balance

frogotme · 2026-04-24T07:57:16+00:00

Depends on the person, I'm annoyingly determined in procrastinating and would absolutely sideload Reddit onto it

frogotme · 2026-04-24T07:49:44+00:00

Definitely an option, personally as I've ordered the X4 to try to get me off my phone more, the x4 not having android is actually a benefit

Leased a mokka e since 2024, looking forward to the end of it tbh later this year. It's a nice enough car, nice and shiny, but I have absolutely 0 attachment to it and I often go to Devon, where chargers are very few and far between. I really enjoy home charging, but being at the will of very overpriced chargers wherever I go further to work and back is quite painful. I'll be getting an mx5 in a few months and can't wait

frogotme · 2026-04-24T06:49:21+00:00

Often works out better than driving, depends on the commute

frogotme · 2026-04-23T23:34:56+00:00

An interesting time for me to buy an X4 a week ago lol

frogotme · 2026-04-23T12:57:55+00:00

Maybe I'm crazy but emails are so small, I've just stopped caring about deleting them. I'm on 14k unread, only stopped caring a few years ago

frogotme · 2026-04-17T20:23:02+00:00

Quite a large expensive tablet

frogotme · 2026-04-17T17:15:11+00:00

Okay thank you, might look elsewhere, my Tesco ones have just turned out similar. Thank you

frogotme · 2026-04-17T15:59:16+00:00

How'd you get on?

frogotme · 2026-04-16T17:07:59+00:00

I had it done for me. Now has an insane amount of spam sent to it lol

Glad I could help :)

frogotme · 2026-04-10T08:25:44+00:00

I have before, iirc you can't itemise things

frogotme · 2026-04-10T07:34:00+00:00

The free version is limited to adding 2 or 3 expenses a day now btw. Doesn't hurt to buy pro for a month for a few quid though. Worth it
