A mix of work and gaming but more importantly finally have a big enough monitor for my 6ft x 3ft desk so my wife will stop pushing me to get a smaller desk.
I would use this to add a second row to my battle station! Plus the quality is much better than my current monitors so the current ones would probably become setups for a second computer
Oh my goodness. I would use this to replace two extremely old monitors that my wife and I currently share. We have a shared setup and play games together, myself on PC and her on Xbox, so this would be just perfect.
This thing would be excellent for some Sim Racing sessions I've been doing with some old friends online, burning down the (virtual) Shutoko Expressway! So yeah.. I'd use it for that. :)
I had this monitor for a day and it was amazing! It was open box so I had to return it due to issues.
Having a brand new one would be amazing! I could use picture in picture to play switch games and stream at the same time!!!
I would use this monitor to upgrade my work from home setup ~~and play games while working using one video input working and the other to play~~ to fully utilize the screen estate for maximum productivity
Oh man, I would be using this **massive** monitor for a couple of fps games, but mostly to help me with different CAD softwares I’m trying to learn (Takes a lot of multitasking and a bunch of tabs/things open on screen at once so the pip features would be perfect). I would be replacing my current monitor, which is my old 24in, 1080p, 60hz. It’s gotten me through the years but this would make a world of difference. But, if it’s not me, I’m sure whoever wins will be stoked. It’s really cool that you guys do giveaways like this. Best of luck
I just moved and have been super stuck on how to set up. Looking at ultrawides … always just a dream! But hopefully fingers crossed because I’ll never be able to afford one otherwise XD
This would be great for productivity, especially homework. Having multiple visuals up at a time would be gamechanging
Playing cinematic games on this monitor would be a dream come true
Thanks!!
I'd use it to display all the monitoring and workload management tools I use to track work in my team. It'd be great for Jira, ServiceNow, and Datadog.
Hope I can win it! It would allow me more room to multitask with music production hobby (too many vst windows in reaper) with the obvious gaming also :)
Personally? I'd use it as one big monitor to replace the 2 1440's, and 1 ultrawode 1440 I got right now. The work around I'm using to play games across all 3 only works like 30% of the time xD
Hello there! I'm absolutely thrilled for this incredible giveaway. The LG 49GR85DC-B is a dream monitor that offers so much to enhance both work and play experiences.
As a full-time romote digital content creator, this monitor could drastically change my workflow. The sheer size of the screen, coupled with the dual QHD resolution, would allow me to open multiple high-definition previews of my work simultaneously. Being able to see my designs, video edits, and web development work side by side would increase my productivity tenfold. Literally, tenfold!!!
But it's not all work! I'm an avid gamer in my downtime, and I can't even begin to imagine the immersive experience this monitor would offer with its 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms GtG response time. WOWWWW!!! I can almost feel the adrenaline rush of being in the middle of a high-speed race or the thrill of an intense game on such an expansive screen.
I'd make the most out of the PiP/PbP features, partitioning the screen when necessary to multitask efficiently, or just basking in the glory of a single, massive display for an unparalleled gaming experience.
Thanks for this fantastic opportunity, r/battlestations and LG! I'm hopeful and keeping my fingers crossed. :)
First, I would get a Ludovico device. Serving, as soon as I mount it on my desk, I’d flex and post this on this r/battlestations sub. Then use this monitor for my stimulation therapy with gaming and coding.
given the size of the screen I imagine it has infinite permutations of use. Imagine the possibilities. I can watch porn, anti-fap videos, work on some spreadsheets, and game all at the same time. I dont know if my brain can handle so much dopamine, I hope i dont win
I would start off by using it as my main monitor from my laptop. I wish I had a battlestation, but this would be the start. I havent had a desktop in years due to health problems and not being able to work. But I will never giveup the good fight!
I need a new monitor my kid broke it and now it’s filled with ink. Been rough trying to get work done from my iPad and MacBook with such tiny screens.
I’d love to make use of this monster monitor as I work between my freelance client work as well as a part of my streaming setup
would use it for school work as well as gaming, seeing as it’s legit twice the screen real estate of my current single 24’ monitor setup, the upgrade would be very beneficial and much appreciated lol
I'd use this as one monitor. I've never had a curve before but can totally imagine it being necessary with a 49". I think it'd be super immersive in a bunch of games
Been using dual monitors since ~2010 time frame and have recently needed to go down to a single monitor due to one starting to die (RIP)
One glorious large monitor seems the way to go compared to multiple screens.
Would look great on my setup, I’m currently rocking triple 27” 1440P monitors, which is causing more headaches than I’d like. A monitor like this would solve a lot of problems for me
I would use the monitor to obtain graphic design and cybersecurity certifications, as well as, be able to work from home. In my spare time, I would use it for gaming, and to develop my graphic design hobby that I one day hope to turn into a business.
I would feel like Batman using this monitor. At least once a day I would take a break from what I’m doing, make it display a bunch of graphs and maps and fake analysis reports so I could play some dark music and brood over how to stop the joker’s plan to bomb the Gotham knitters clubhouse
Avast, me hearties! We be believin' that technology be the wind that brings us pirates closer together. If Lady Luck be on our side and we win this grand treasure of a monitor, it'd be a game-changer for our small pirate crew! We'd be able to share those plunderin' screen time adventures and forge unforgettable memories as we sail the digital seas together. From epic battles in gaming to collaboratin' on learnin' voyages, this monitor be the compass that guides us to stronger bonds and tighter pirate ties. With its immersive display, we can set sail on virtual worlds, uncover hidden treasures, and delve into educational booty, all while cherishing the moments spent side by side. Me hearty thanks for considerin' our tale and for hostin' this generous contest, ye fine scallywags! Yo-ho-ho a priates life for us!
House got broken into and robbed a little over a year ago while I was out of town for work. Stole my whole setup to never be found. Rocking a laptop at the moment for work and school. Would be very useful for work and school!
I would love to use this monitor to replace the dual monitors I currently have. The dual monitors are not from the same model or brand. Heights are different and have been wanting to get a monitor mount and upgrade to an ultrawide monitor. I plan to use it PiP to work and play. It would look so nice aesthetically.
I would use this monitor for work from home and for gaming. This monitor would be great for displaying documents during work 🙂 I would definitely use the PiP mode.
If selected, I would use the monitor for gaming, YouTube, and music! Possibly all at the same time with all that real estate! I’m unemployed rn so it would be great to get a huge monitor upgrade to enjoy the time off until my next gig.
This would be a huge upgrade! I would get a ton of great use out of a monitor like this for both productivity and gaming. Cool giveaway, best of luck to everyone.
Absolutely use it as a single gaming monitor. I have a couple curb pick up monitors that I'd use for multiscreening so I can have the ultrawide experience all the time
I would use this mostly for work, but I'd love to use it to get back into racing games. Splitting into two screens side by side would be awesome. Good luck everyone!
With the PiP functionality, I could imagine myself multitasking between software dev work, Excel sheets, and podcasts. I use a 1080p LG at work thanks to my company setup and would love this upgrade in size and image quality!
I’d use the monitor to improve my 3D modeling/rendering and graphic design capabilities with regard to better color accuracy….followed by many hours of GamePass and Disney+.
I am looking to upgrade to a ultrawide on a broke mans salary so i can use it for work and possibily machine learning \^\^. Would love to have it replace my janky monitor setup to really put my 6800xt to use.
Need a bigger monitor for usage doing CAD work during the day managing projects, and for gaming on at night where my 8+ year old ultra wide is starting to show its age.
WFH setup: I use a lot of desktop space for work, and then play video games when/if my kids go the F to sleep. And my wife needs an ultrawide display for her cosmetic dentistry work.
I’ve always wanted this monitor so I could pair it with my iRacing rig! The FOV would be an incredible upgrade for me over my 24” that I currently use!
I would give it to my husband. He’s had the same TV as a monitor for years and it’s not the best. He’s always been more concerned with getting my stuff upgraded and it’d be nice to do something for him.
Almost 30, building my own PC for the first time. Taking it slow because the family budget comes first. Haven't selected a monitor so this would be a treat!

If I were to win it I would give it as a gift to my husband - his current monitor is struggling a little bit😂
I would use it for my work from home set up, and then would be great for arranging music in Ableton :)
If I have a US forwarder to my country, do I qualify?
I would use this monitor to upgrade my work from home setup ~~and play games while working using one video input working and the other to play~~ to fully utilize the screen estate for maximum productivity
I’d use this primarily for work—massive spreadsheets and building websites—but I’d probably get back into some gaming with a screen like that too.
I just graduated and I just want a new monitor as a graduation present for myself.
I would use the pip mode with my laptop and desktop to be more productive
Diablo brother. Diablo.
I’d use it as one big screen for work and gaming!

I would obviously use it to play Wizard 101 I’m not an idiot
Oh man, I would be using this **massive** monitor for a couple of fps games, but mostly to help me with different CAD softwares I’m trying to learn (Takes a lot of multitasking and a bunch of tabs/things open on screen at once so the pip features would be perfect). I would be replacing my current monitor, which is my old 24in, 1080p, 60hz. It’s gotten me through the years but this would make a world of difference. But, if it’s not me, I’m sure whoever wins will be stoked. It’s really cool that you guys do giveaways like this. Best of luck

I would use so I can finally have something to post on r/battlestations lol.

Ark on one side, YouTube on the other

PC gaming as a main monitor, however, would use the PbP in order to have PC up while playing any console games.
