The 45-inch ultrawide is 41.36" (105.1 cm) wide and 17.73" (45 cm) tall, while the 77-inch monitor is 67.11" (170.5 cm) wide and 37.75" (95.9 cm) tall. That makes the 77-inch monitor the larger screen by 245.5% of usable area.
The 45-inch ultrawide measures 41.36" (105.1 cm) wide by 17.73" (45 cm) tall, with a total screen area of 733.2 square inches. The 77-inch monitor measures 67.11" (170.5 cm) wide by 37.75" (95.9 cm) tall, covering 2533.5 square inches.
The practical difference: the 77-inch monitor is 62.3% wider, the 77-inch monitor is 113% taller, and 77-inch monitor offers 245.5% more screen area. Width affects how much desk space you need, while the height delta shows how much vertical space changes for documents, timelines, and video.
The practical choice depends on what feels limiting in your current setup. For coding, timelines, spreadsheets, and games, the wider option gives more room for side-by-side windows, while the taller option keeps more vertical content visible without pushing the edges of the screen as far away. If your desk is shallow, width and viewing distance matter as much as raw diagonal size.
45-inch 21:9 vs 77-inch 16:9 is mostly about side-by-side workspace. A 21:9 display behaves like one wide main workspace, while a 32:9 super ultrawide is closer to two monitors fused into one panel. The physical width number matters more than the diagonal when you are checking speakers, arms, laptop stands, or portrait side screens.
At 5120x2160, the 45-inch ultrawide achieves 123 PPI. The 77-inch monitor at 3840x2160 reaches 57 PPI. The 45-inch ultrawide has 53.7% higher pixel density, resulting in sharper text and images.
For text-heavy work, PPI is the number that decides whether you are buying more room or just making everything bigger. A lower-PPI large screen can feel spacious for windows but softer for code and documents. A higher-PPI screen may need OS scaling, but it usually gives cleaner text and more flexible sizing.
For 16:9 content (most videos and games), the 45-inch ultrawide provides an effective diagonal of 36.2", while the 77-inch monitor provides 77". Check this if you watch 16:9 video or play games that do not support ultrawide resolutions.
