Well monitor sales for BF are pretty phenomenal this year. Newegg's got the G9 49" Ultra-wide on sale for $799 for the 120Hz and $899 for the 240Hz model.

I was originally going to go with a 3 - curved monitor setup for mostly flight/race simulation and maybe the occasional first-person shooter game, but $800 for a 49" ultrawide.

My concern is that the Ultrawide doesn't have as much height as a 27+" display so it makes it look really skinny in the height.

I'll probably eventually be using VR for the flight simming, but will need displays for other applications.
 
The CRG9 has exactly as much height as a 27" display. It's basically two of them side by side.
 
Actually the monitor is even cheaper on Newegg. Coupon code SAM49CRG9 for another $100 off.

Yeah, I didn't realize you get another $100 off. I think I'll pass. There's a lot of negative reviews of that monitor's quality control and it being fragile.
