How this is calculated

In metric, 139.4 cm wide by 39.2 cm tall, or roughly 5463 cm². Samsung's sheet lists a 1000R curve, which means a 1000 mm radius, and a maximum refresh rate of 240 Hz. The curve pulls the edges toward you, so the straight line across the screen is a little shorter than the arc you see.

Verdict

Buy 57 inches only if one screen has to show two 4K windows and your graphics card can feed 16.59 million pixels a frame. The panel measures 139.4 cm (54.87 in)54.87 in (139.4 cm) wide by 39.2 cm (15.43 in)15.43 in (39.2 cm) tall for about 5463 cm² (847 in²)847 in² (5463 cm²) of area.

Next to the 49-inch panel, that's 29% denser, and the pixel count is 2.25 times as high.

Compared with 4K, the 57-inch asks for 100% more pixels every frame, so high refresh rates depend on the card.

Plan on a desk at least 160 cm (63 inches) wide. The panel alone is 139 cm wide, and the stand needs room under the middle. A deep desk lets you sit back and see both ends without turning your head.
