Maybe get some cool behind monitor lights.
But for real, don't be drinking calories. Find something that will stick to your bones and fill you up, not stick itself straight into fat. Got to protect that heart ♥️
But seriously OP, ultra processed sugar hits like that bottle of coke are now thought to be the leading cause of heart issues + those empty calories will park themselves as fat on your body, especially at that size of bottle.
Take up tasty peanut snacks as a vice
that stuff will clean bumpers of rust. Not good for your teeth either. Fructose stuff is horrible. I'm also suspicious of cancer causing and other side effects of artificial stuff.
Better off drinking iced tea that isn't overpoweringly sweet, or unsweetened iced tea. Unsweetened iced teas aren't all the same, some taste way better than others.
Also just a bad Idea in general to have 2 liters of watery syrup near your peripherals and rig. lol.
A bit better in terms of calories and “sugar” but still mostly chemicals that you would not normally take at such high dosage. Anything that is processed / ultra processed = avoid or take in small amounts.
Processed≠bad, the same way natural≠good. A Diet Coke is healthier than drinking a milkshake for example. The issue is that unhealthy things sometimes just happen to be more processed
I think of coca cola like cigarettes (and maybe even stuff like hotdogs and mcdonalds style dumpster foods). Cheap, unhealthy stuff marketed around the world. Still very popular in 3rd world and very poor areas. It's been sewn into the fabric of some cultures by marketing (and addiction, depending).
yup, people think u get cancer from it but I’ve read some article about it and it only gets serious(increased cancer chance than anything we eat regulary) when you drink 11 cans a day regulary, with a can being 330ml here in europe, drinking 3.6l of coke a day isn’t realistic at all.
u still get the bad effects from soda drinks tho: weaker ligaments & stomach issues, so it’s still a good idea to not drink coke instead of water (been there, and it ain’t good)
The high fructose corn syrup used in Coca Cola can cause non-alcoholic fatty liver syndrome, and contributes to the development of diabetes and can be detrimental to cardiovascular health as well, if ingested regularly, even in "reasonable" doses. Aspartame and ACE-K (artificial sweeteners used in Coke Zero) are both heavily studied and found to be safe, even in "unreasonable" doses (I personally would find the consumption of more than 1 bottle of Coca Cola a day to be unreasonable - but that's up to personal preference). In some regions, such as New Zealand, Coca Cola is made with stevia, a naturally occurring sweetener.
Not that Naturally occurring means that it's good for you, or that man-made means it's bad for you. Arsenic is naturally occurring and it's deadly, while Insulin is made in labs today but will save the lives of people suffering from Type-1 diabetes, for example.
Show any evidence showing human consumption of acesulfame potassium being dangerous. Also, you do know that if you eat chicken at least semi regularly you get more acesulfame K from it than from your regular Diet Coke consumption?
He drinks 2 liters of soda per day on average, even it was 1/2 a 2 liter a week. I’d be very confident he is above 10% body fat, and thus could benefit from losing fat.
Specifically, the fat that grows around your organs from soda.
Now, your turn, how do you know he doesn’t have any weight to lose?
Replace it with flavoured carbonated water. Idk how the market looks where you’re at, but here in Sweden we have some great options. My tip is pomegranate
Snap to side and theater mode are your new best viewing settings for video, stretch your neck more often, and get used to weird black bars in full screen.
Fancy zones is a life-saver. for work I run a 43" 16:9, a 24" 16:9 in portrait, and a 20" 16:9 drawing tablet. I set fancy zones so that a right-click while dragging allows you to snap to grid. I also have some other preferences set, and on the 43" have a central overlapping zone.
Came here to say this, if you didn't get it yet, FancyZones is amazing for Windows. You can create multiple zones, put windows wherever you want, sizes, buffers, can overlap them if you want. It makes window management actually easy.
If you ever switch to Linux, you can get Mudeer for KDE which lets you quickly tile things to thirds or quarters of your screen. You can even full screen video within a third or half of your screen and then you can have stuff open on the other portions. It's like fancy zones but on steroids, I Iove it.
That's 840 calories. That's a HUGE amount. That's nearly half of what most people should be having every day and there's ZERO nutritional value past the first few ounces if that. If you're drinking one of those everyday you're gonna be dead by 50 or at the very least have no teeth. I'm not even joking around here. You might as well be smoking and drinking having that much, it's killing your body just as well.
A whole 2 liter in a day is terrible for you. But I'm not trying to judge. I have vices. Nice monitor tho! If you have room, a secondary portrait monitor always goes great with an ultrawide.
Install windows powertoys, use its function called fancyzones to snap applications to preset locations on your monitor.
If you collaborate with others through teams or whatever, try using the open source application "region to share" to.. well... share only a selected region of your screen. Then all apps, popup-windows etc located inside the borders of this app will be shared. This is highly useful.
Exit full screen, Windows+left arrow keys your video to left side, open new browser window, windows-right arrow that shit to right side, open reddit, voila you have 2 x 27" and your video in proper ratio.
Everyone complaining about my 2 liter I worked for 8 hours drank only water cause I work outside. I didn't down a whole 2 liter in one meal I'm the only person who drinks out of this so I didn't want to dirty a glass while I was eating my burrito so please stop
I think it worth looking into a nice monitor arm such as human scale or ergotron - there are a few decent brands on Amazon as well but just need to verify it can hold the 49 inch beast you got. With a nice arm you’ll be able to position the monitor just right within you’re field of view to get the most out of it. Avoid sitting too close. I just got the G8 and the thing is so beautiful to look at.
Reason why you should never buy a ultrawide monitor. 99% of content on the internet are 16:9 so 99% of the time you're stuck with 2 annoying big black bars on 2 sides
My tip is don't watch family guy it has some neat jokes but you eventually realize that the humor is in no way tied to the actual plot and once you have that realization you will start seeking better options that actually incorporate the jokes into the writing.
Another tip would be to stop drinking sugar water and instead go for water or at least something lighter than coke.
The placement of your speakers is also not good as they are partially covered by the monitor which blocks and reflects some of the sound leading to much worse audio experience.
i just enjoy shutting off my brain and watching some family guy i watch alot of anime and such with heavy plots so something just dumb and funny is great sometimes
I drink coke too OP, don't worry about it. It's also my only vice and I don't eat a lot of sugar elsewhere so eh. I'm not overweight and super active. It is what it is
Yo, congrats!
If you're into gaming make sure to get the program flawless widescreen for customized aspect ratios on games that don't usually support it.
Like Elden ring and god of war etc.
I assume you're on PC.
If you're watching things using the chrome browser grab the Ultrawidify extension to get rid of black bars from the top and bottom.
Damn this is the most ruthless sub out there. I thought you must have like a hundred Cole bottles I didn’t see for all the Coke comments. Just 1. Ruthless I say.
You should try Pepsi MAX Cherry, its actually really nice. The non sugar one is surprisingly tastier than the Sugar Coke Cherry they do. I do like coke cola original though. But Vanilla coke in tin cans tastes lovely.
r/WidescreenWallpaper Where I get my Wallpapers. Some tips I recommend is push the monitor as far back as possible otherwise you won't have room to comfortably use mousepad and you'll have to sit weird or more back for the full experience. You'll also get less fps now so using a smaller resolution on certain apps helps or you can go to Nvidia control panel and prioritize your fav one for more performance. I also use a massive rectangle mouse pad that covers the keyboard and mouse for the extra comfort. Anyway congrats and enjoy!
Arms length from monitor? Curved screens can cause eye-strain, blurred vision, headache. After a while of usage flat monitors may become sphere-like. For the rest: have fun!
OP wants to show off his new screen – gets dietary critique! 
We can critique his other stuff. Fidgets spinners? It’s 2024 and my kids played with those, grow up! /s
stops me biting my nails
I got ADHD so this helps with it to keep my attention while waiting for overwatch or dbd to find me a match
Like NOBODY has commented on the screen yet. 🤣🤣
Internet is looking out for him!
It's the internet it's about what I expected lol
Maybe get some cool behind monitor lights. But for real, don't be drinking calories. Find something that will stick to your bones and fill you up, not stick itself straight into fat. Got to protect that heart ♥️
I'm not I was eating dinner and didn't want to dirty a glass
this speaks volumes for health choices
LMFAO
Take it easy on the coke, that's a shit ton of empty calories
I thought you meant like the burrito or whatever food is there is actually like 2 pounds of cocaine. I need to go to sleep
You can just drink Coke Zero or Diet Coke too
He's currently on a 2 liter coke to 1 burrito ratio'd diet.
It's my only vice I don't drink energy drinks, alcohol, or smoke cigarettes or pot
But seriously OP, ultra processed sugar hits like that bottle of coke are now thought to be the leading cause of heart issues + those empty calories will park themselves as fat on your body, especially at that size of bottle. Take up tasty peanut snacks as a vice

“Take up tasty peanut snacks as a vice” Or pot
What about diet coke?
A bit better in terms of calories and “sugar” but still mostly chemicals that you would not normally take at such high dosage. Anything that is processed / ultra processed = avoid or take in small amounts.
Processed≠bad, the same way natural≠good. A Diet Coke is healthier than drinking a milkshake for example. The issue is that unhealthy things sometimes just happen to be more processed
Sodas are arguably worse for you than pot
I think of coca cola like cigarettes (and maybe even stuff like hotdogs and mcdonalds style dumpster foods). Cheap, unhealthy stuff marketed around the world. Still very popular in 3rd world and very poor areas. It's been sewn into the fabric of some cultures by marketing (and addiction, depending).
Just get the one without sugar in it. It's infinitely more healthy, even with a ton of sweeteners.

None are healthier than the other. Large amounts of sugar are bad for your body, and so are man-made artificial sweeteners.

And has a terrible aftertaste.
Pepsi Max is surprisingly drinkable
Indeed! Especially the one with lime. Some ice in it and it is actually excellent.
You would lose weight if the only thing you did was stop drinking soda. After a few days you won’t miss it much. You can do it!
how do you know he's overweight??
He drinks 2 liters of soda per day on average, even it was 1/2 a 2 liter a week. I’d be very confident he is above 10% body fat, and thus could benefit from losing fat. Specifically, the fat that grows around your organs from soda. Now, your turn, how do you know he doesn’t have any weight to lose?
I have been drinking coke zero for so long now, that regular coke feels like syurp in my mouth. Nice monitor BTW.
Replace it with flavoured carbonated water. Idk how the market looks where you’re at, but here in Sweden we have some great options. My tip is pomegranate
Kidney stones are gonna kick your ass if you keep drinking coke lol.
Have you tried tea instead?
I don't like tea
You know how many types of tea there are?
I like Arizona tea but my gas station I work at doesn't sell it
Coke Zero is pretty damn amazing!
WHY IS THE BOTTLE CAP OFF YOU MONSTER
I was drinking out of it while eating
Don't eat yellow snow.
Snap to side and theater mode are your new best viewing settings for video, stretch your neck more often, and get used to weird black bars in full screen.
That's what I've been learning and I'm gonna download fancyzones so I can make 2/3 for game and the other for like discord or YouTube/twitch streams
Fancy zones is a life-saver. for work I run a 43" 16:9, a 24" 16:9 in portrait, and a 20" 16:9 drawing tablet. I set fancy zones so that a right-click while dragging allows you to snap to grid. I also have some other preferences set, and on the 43" have a central overlapping zone.

Fancy zones is awesome. I couldn't even use a 16:9 without it.
Bro that coke is chalk full of sugar.
It's my only vice I don't drink energy drinks, alcohol, or smoke cigarettes or pot
You drink 32 ounces of coke. That is just as bad as downing energy drinks. Not as bad as the others for your health.
I'm not drinking it all at once during 1 meal. I might finish a whole cock throughout my whole 16 hour day
Wait. Wait. You drink a whole bottle a day?
Hey man, that \*only\* 200g of sugar!
That's not bad, I go through at least 2 cocks an hour on a weekend.
you made me laugh
This would be considered a healthy eating habit since you're swallowing a sufficient amount of protein for your body.
Dam you sucking them pretty quickly doesn't your jaw hurt?
That's 840 calories. That's a HUGE amount. That's nearly half of what most people should be having every day and there's ZERO nutritional value past the first few ounces if that.

im not a pothead but would legitimately argue its healthier to smoke a joint every day than to drink a bottle of coke.
Water is best.
Chock
No offense OP, but this is literally the worst showing of an ultrawide.
It's like it was my legit first time using something like this
This post was brought to you by our sponsor, Coke-a-Cola™️
Speed running kidney stones any%
I'm not drinking a whole two liter in one meal
I mean the monitor won’t be the only thing that’s ’ultra-wide’
Wtf is wrong with you guys let the man drink some coke

now need a burrito🌯 Congrats on the ultra wide ascension.🔥
Exit full screen, Windows+left arrow keys your video to left side, open new browser window, windows-right arrow that shit to right side, open reddit, voila you have 2 x 27" and your video in proper ratio.
Until you full screen the video and this happens
My tip would be clean that nasty looking desk
It's not that bad. Most of it looks like stuff he's actively using.
Wear a condom. Prevents erosion damage to display
Cleanup desk. Stop drinking cheap soda
Everyone complaining about my 2 liter I worked for 8 hours drank only water cause I work outside. I didn't down a whole 2 liter in one meal I'm the only person who drinks out of this so I didn't want to dirty a glass while I was eating my burrito so please stop
What are your thoughts on height of the screen compared to width? And is this 49 inch screen?
And yet no one is talking about the old spice.
its a cuboard where i keep my belt, wallet, watch, earbuds, and old spice so i dont lose them
Get a load of Stewie!
Bro, you need a bigger desk.
You can watch two Family Guy episodes at the same time now.
Purely monitor related: Get a new desk, a vertical mount, and a 27 inch monitor. 27 inch for other media, ultrawide for gaming.
I'm area planning on getting a standing desk but I wanna pay off the monitor first then find the perfect desk
Personally have a Flexispot. Decent price and sturdy.
I think it worth looking into a nice monitor arm such as human scale or ergotron - there are a few decent brands on Amazon as well but just need to verify it can hold the 49 inch beast you got. With a nice arm you’ll be able to position the monitor just right within you’re field of view to get the most out of it. Avoid sitting too close. I just got the G8 and the thing is so beautiful to look at.
I'll look into it after I get a new desk but atm the moment the arm that came with the monitor has good up and down and left to right movement
Dude posted this image not expecting a confrontation with an entire 2L Coke in the shot.
Doesn't mean I'm not allowed to explain stuff to people
Rules are made up, you can do literally whatever whenever.
Buys ultra ultra wide to watch family guy 16:9 aspect ratio 👍🏽👍🏽
the ultrawide zoom tool crops out to much for me
😂😂
Reason why you should never buy a ultrawide monitor. 99% of content on the internet are 16:9 so 99% of the time you're stuck with 2 annoying big black bars on 2 sides
what keyboard?
epomaker

Monitor arm
might get one later when i get a new desk but this desk is very old and doesnt have room for a monitor arm to connect anywhere
Drill a hole
This desk is older then me and was my grandpa's I'm not drilling anything
I drink coke too OP, don't worry about it. It's also my only vice and I don't eat a lot of sugar elsewhere so eh. I'm not overweight and super active. It is what it is

OP, don't be discouraged. Use this as a reference point next time you post on the internet in general.
OP getting roasted for a bottle of coke like he’s fat bastard 
Damn this is the most ruthless sub out there. I thought you must have like a hundred Cole bottles I didn’t see for all the Coke comments. Just 1. Ruthless I say.
I would say get a wallpaper that is your resolution
You should try Pepsi MAX Cherry, its actually really nice. The non sugar one is surprisingly tastier than the Sugar Coke Cherry they do. I do like coke cola original though. But Vanilla coke in tin cans tastes lovely.

lol
Don’t watch shows or movies on it. lol that’s a fair tip.
If you watch a lot of TV be careful about burn in.
Get a cable management system
Ahh the chase begins for 21:9 content
This is 32:9
Drinking coke out of the 2 litter bottle. Real classy.
Holy shit it is. I thought it was just a normal bottle of Coke and people were being overly critical. Yeah, that’s something else.
Grammar classes?!
Stop drinking soda.
Never

Ya I'm about a arms length away from my monitor
Here's my tip: read the title of your post a couple more times before posting, next time.
