Get a 27inch Studio display 5K display you won't regret! Better to buy something good from start rather than making a collection out of monitors (my experience)! PS>(Don't look on lg ultrafine 5k they have ports problems, if broken it becomes unusable)
This is a great breakdown. Thank you! Maybe a suggestions for people on a tighter budget can be the “old” LG ultrafine 5K. On second hand market you can get at around 600€.That is what I am planing to switch from my current 4K 32” monitor. I tried so many different things. And it end up with the similar conclusions as you. 4K -> at least 32” 27” -> 5K or 1440p 24” -> 1080p or 4K with 2x “native” scaling. All the other options get some weird situation on the middle that are either not very sharp or has weird scaling. I also ended up just using my MacBook open under he monitor and use itas keyboard and trackpad. I keep the MacBook monitor just chat/music stuff and do all the work on the monitor. That way the neck does not hurt, occupies less space on the desk as I do not need so many accessories and it is easier to have the same workflow for the different workspaces I get to.
Can cofirm on the 27’ LG 5K option, it’s basically designed for macOS. I did extensive research on this scaling topic and this is the monitor I bought. To my eyes it delivers basically the same exact quality pictures as the native macbook pro 14’, the only downside is that it’s still 60Hz panel. I may get another one in the future to extend my setup but currently I can honestly say that it’s a joy to my eyes to do programming and other non GPU intensive work with LG 5K
I heard that those 5K LG ultrafine are very unreliable and can broke any moment. If you are lucky and it will work for you, then sure that is great budget option. I had no chance to get it used and 1K+ price for new one just didn't feel right. For 600 € I would buy that. You still getting good display in right scale for macOS for decent price, so why not.
@@aitorperez8301 have found a solution to this? I bought a 27" 1440p after extensive research. Yes the fonts are a bit blurry, especially for the programming work I do. But they are not too bad I'd day. I have a 2019 16" MBP and didn't want to risk overheating on the Mac already causing issues.
I run a triple system on a MacMini 2018. Having 2x 27" in 2560x1440 and my main is a 40" in 4k. All is unscaled. I also have two iMacs with 5k and while they are nicer, it doesn't matter for programming. How many lines i see and how many tool windows i can put on the side is important. And with XCode you really need as much real estate as you can get.
if you need a display that works on mac OS, Linux and Windows equally well, sadly Apple Studio Display is not an option, anything else not close to 110 or 220ppi is not an option either, so the only options are 2560x1440 27" or 3440x1440 34" or 5120x1440 49" ultrawides, sadly. I have G9 Neo and wanted a flat 4K screen but don't want to deal with scaling issues. Thanks for showing how 32" 4K looks.
I had 5120x1440 49" Dell before and even it was usable, fonts were pixelated and I can't unseen that. Xcode was fine to use on it, but some websites was looking horribly bad.
@@AivarsMeijers it's pixelated but at least without scaling issues, 49" 5120x1440 is around 110ppi which is native non retina. I also have a P2415Q I no longer use, that's the old 23.8" 4K Dell that is no longer made. In theory it should be not ideal at Retina scaling with 190ppi, but dammit fonts look amazing at native scale. I might pick up a used one and rock these two and sell my 49". If you're looking for a streaming monitor to replace your 27", check out P2415Q. Btw, can't wait for your new Sony filmed videos!
Very helpful information, indeed; this video helped me tremendously. I have decided to invest in the Studio Display; which I'm betting will last me a good long while. If you're like us (getting on in years, and staring at code all day-or any type of text for that matter), proper PPI makes all the difference; particularly for helping with the eye endurance required to plug through those marathon coding sessions that we get into rather regularly!
have been suffers eyes health problem caused by long hours(at least 17 hours a day) with many days, weeks, months sitting in the front of my bad display. start thingking to make this eyes relax and comfortable. regreting why i'm not doing it long before this eyes having problem with it.😢

Hey. Do you think a 27 inch 1440p monitor like yours actually looks good considering all the resolution and font smoothing problems that Mac has? Do you notice any blurryness when reading text?
I also find that the Studio Display is the way to go IF you can afford it. I've got very limited desk space, so have room for it and use an iPad as a second screen, you're right, it's a little small, but better than nothing!
I'm using iPad as external screen while traveling and have it around in home office, bigger screen to have a quick look on stream chat is a bit more handy.
Didn't do any research lately therefore can't recommend any specific model If you care about refresh rate, take a look on gaming monitors, but for programming 60Hz are fine
My man, what do you thing about HUAWEI MateView GT 34-inch for MacBook Air m1? Is it good option if I can’t get 5k 27 inch? I don’t want to get any issue with performance on m1 (I have 8gb ram tho)
Thanks for this video! Do you have an opinion on the LG38WN95C? Would it work with scaling? Is it any good? Thinking anoint getting it but not sure. Thanks in advance!
If you will have no problems to return it, then it is worth trying. I newer tried 3840 x 1600 monitors so it is hard to say how it will look. For sure that will be not perfect scaling for macOS, but worth trying to see if you like it.

Would everything be the same size on a 32" 1440 and a 27" 1440, but with more screen real estate? Thx.
1440 will be not enough for 32" screen. For myself I decided that if I couldn't get Apple Studio Display I would stick with 32" 4K monitor, but better one then I have or go for 27" 1440p to have native macOS resolution. Hole that clarifies my point.

Great videos! followed by another developer here 🫡 One question. What happen with the battery charge when you connect all day the macbook to the studio display? is always fully charged? or does it manage the charge in other way for keeping the battery health?
macOS keeps the battery on 80%, Apple added that feature not so far ago. Also there are 3rd party applications to deal with that - ALDetnte Pro for example can do the same and more.

Hi @Aivars, This was a nice video! I'm watching your videos as a programmer to get great insight from you. I'm working on the MacBook, so looking for the best monitor setup for me. So I plan to set up a dual monitor with 24 inches (to use it vertically) + 32 inches since you don't seem to recommend the 49-inch ultra-wide monitor yet. what do you think about LG 32" 4K UltraFine Ergo 32UN880-B? and I wonder if there is a 24 inches monitor you can recommend to me. Can you please recommend me the 24 inches monitor? Oh, and btw do you think LG 43UN700-B Monitor UHD 43" is a good monitor for programming?
I was looking at 32UN880-B but didn't buy it because it was almost 3x more expensive than Samsung M7, and I wasn't sure what will I think about the 32" screen. It is a good one, get it. I never tried a 43" monitor, but I think that 4K will not be enough for that screen size. I know nothing about 24" monitors, bought last one about 5 years ago :)
When I connect my 2012 MBP with 2 external monitors, the fans runs in a supersonic speed making such a loud noise that everyone in the rooms thinks that the plane will blast any time. So I just use 1 external monitor now. I hope with newer models there is no such boom sound as there are not fans at all in the M1 engines.
Hi could you help me with this one? 31.5'' UHD 4K (3840x2160) HDR Monitor -- VS - Monitor QHD UltraWide™ 21:9 de 34'' (2560 x 1080) which is monitor better for programming? I only have exp with my old full hd as a second.
@@ilhammotor3366 no. MacOS UI will just be on slightly on the smaller side at that dpi. Apple says optimal dpi is 110 or 110@2x, 34@4k is more like 135, so things just not as big. I should say: you only get a performance drop if you scale the screen beyond 1x & 2x.
@@AivarsMeijersShould it work? Dell ultrasharp is a great monitor but the main issue is not the monitor pixel quality but the pixel density.

With the retina display and the scaling had come, Apple seemed to ditch the font/picture quality for the generic monitors.
@@jeonglee8555 Sure you can't expect the same results you see in retina screen, because you have 4x less pixels. You have to test it to see is it working for you. Scalling for content will be right and will look the same like on Apple Studio Display, but 4x less sharp.
How's iMac 24" compared to the Studio Display? I read that 24" is small enough to maximize all applications without needing to move your head or eyes much to see the screen edges
Im waiting for the new apple display , I have the feeling soon it will be released , dont want to drop 1.5k usd on a 3yr old monitor . It also would be nice if they release a studio 32" 6K and add promotion on the top .
Well, if Apple will release wide or ultra-wide monitor and support it natively I would consider to get one. That 49" ultrawide was nice monitor, but pixel density was not good.
I am considering to buy a monitor for my macbook pro. Shall i go for Samsung m8 monitor or Dell UltraSharp 27 U2723QE. I am going to use it for coding. Any Suggestion please
I am considering the studio display but 1440p just isn’t going to work as a main display in a single display setup. How is the clarity of the display affected in the more space option, or is it the same clarity but everything is just too small to see anything? Thanks for the video
You can change settings of the display to more space and increase resolution. 1440 is default, but you can go up to 3200 x 1800 I’m sticking with default resolution because it feels enough for me and it is great resolution for streaming as well. Editional monitors helps to have chat apps and aditional info on secondary screens
I'm working usually in Figma on my 27" 4K (Samsung, ~300 euro), and I found that the middle scaling is the best for me but the performance drops so much so you can notice it while you're dragging some layers on your workspace. I decided to stick to the 1440p since it changes performance, but not that much. I thought it can be because it's scaling without float for most of the sizes on your screen, still not sure
Scaling takes a lot of resources and Figma is GPU heavy app, that is the reason for performance dropdown. You can test how Mac works for the same tasks without external monitor and you will see how much Figma impacts your Mac.
The info in your video is appreciated but why include your trip to get your car serviced? The audience needed to wait 2 minutes to actually see what any monitor and relevant visuals.
Because another part of the audience is interested to see more behind the scenes content which helps to make connection between us and creates community around this youtube channel. I care more about that part of audience and do not worry too much if video is not getting the most possible views. 1 true fan is more important for me than 100 viewers who jumping on one of my video just to get answer on some question and then are gone forever. Also, it is more fun for me to make videos like this. Sitting in front of computer and reading text from telepromter is boring as hell ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As soon as his UA-cam channel will become boring chore I will stop doing videos.
after 7 years of studying computer science I just recently did buy my first monitor hahah. now it seems so silly to me. I was working on a tiny laptop screen all that time. now having a 27inch screen everything is so much easier. somehow my work is not as tiring than before... haha. I did go big for the apple studio display as I did not want a compromise that does not fully satisfy what I am looking for and the only other alternative was the lg 5k since I am working on a Mac. btw really appreciate your videos, the put me in a good mood somehow. keep it going.
For 4K, I choose 32", especially if you are going for one monitor setup. For my eyes, 27" in 4K is too tiny for comfortable work. But it is a subjective choice. Compare both if you can to see how you feel about it.
What should i by , 27 inch 4k or 2k , or 32 inch 4k , i am very confused

I can't work on 60hz monitors anymore, that's why i won't buy the studio display :(
What about standard vs nano texture glass on the Studio Display. Which one did you choose?
I got standard glass. Colours are better on it imo, also I'm sitting in a corner of relatively dark room, so I don't really need it
Im waiting for the new apple display , I have the feeling soon it will be released , dont want to drop 1.5k usd on a 3yr old monitor . It also would be nice if they release a studio 32" 6K and add promotion on the top .
That's why I bought it asap, now you don't know if the next display come out in 6 months or 6 years :)
@@AivarsMeijers I can wait on my 2k 144hz + m1 16" for now xD
Hello, what you mean is good use macbook pro with MSI Prestige PS341WU? I am interested in your opinion... Thanks in advance 🙏
Won't fix, duplicated :D
If there will be 32:9 screens with Retina pixel density would you prefer that over 21:9? ;)
Well, if Apple will release wide or ultra-wide monitor and support it natively I would consider to get one. That 49" ultrawide was nice monitor, but pixel density was not good.
am tired of hunting for good monitor for my Macbook. Studio Display on it's way to me
that's what apple wants..
Hello. What better vertical warning can I buy for development?
I am considering to buy a monitor for my macbook pro. Shall i go for Samsung m8 monitor or Dell UltraSharp 27 U2723QE. I am going to use it for coding. Any Suggestion please
what did you get and how was it?
I am considering the studio display but 1440p just isn’t going to work as a main display in a single display setup. How is the clarity of the display affected in the more space option, or is it the same clarity but everything is just too small to see anything? Thanks for the video
You can change settings of the display to more space and increase resolution. 1440 is default, but you can go up to 3200 x 1800
I’m sticking with default resolution because it feels enough for me and it is great resolution for streaming as well. Editional monitors helps to have chat apps and aditional info on secondary screens
I'm working usually in Figma on my 27" 4K (Samsung, ~300 euro), and I found that the middle scaling is the best for me but the performance drops so much so you can notice it while you're dragging some layers on your workspace. I decided to stick to the 1440p since it changes performance, but not that much. I thought it can be because it's scaling without float for most of the sizes on your screen, still not sure
Scaling takes a lot of resources and Figma is GPU heavy app, that is the reason for performance dropdown. You can test how Mac works for the same tasks without external monitor and you will see how much Figma impacts your Mac.
@@AivarsMeijers no, scaling is the most minor task for modern GPUs
And apart from that you are also using bigger 13" ipad pro, right?
Yes, that's big one iPad Pro
what do you think of 29 inch lg ultrawide monitor with 2550 * 1080?
That's weird resolution for macOS, but could be fine for windows
@@AivarsMeijers you are right. i had to learn it the hard way.
Thank you very much for this, really enjoy your video style.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What brand of eyeglasses are those? :)
Those are ray-ban frames
In a just and fair world we will have 36-38 inch 4K. 32 a bit too small for 4k, 43 a bit too big.
Nice monitor and chilled cow girl on the side. Classy taste!
I'm planning to get 48 inch 4k monitor for coding. Like seriously. Wish me luck guys
I would like to watch your review video. Sounds crazy and very interesting at the same time :)
Do you sell your old monitors on eBay? Or some other way?
Usually I'm selling in localy, I don't like to deal with delivery
Hey men Dell or benq? For artwork digital
imo You should always compare specific models and not brands.
I'm not an artist, so not the right person to answer this question
Hi what is your opinion on Dell 32" UltraSharp U3223QE 4K ?
Looking good. Generally I like Dell monitors and this one looks good looking into specs
@@AivarsMeijers Thanks for the reply :D Ait then i feel safe to buy it :D
@Alex Evans Hi no I ended up getting lg 48gq900. Which works fine but the auto brightness is a bit distracting but got used to it over time.
The info in your video is appreciated but why include your trip to get your car serviced? The audience needed to wait 2 minutes to actually see what any monitor and relevant visuals.
Because another part of the audience is interested to see more behind the scenes content which helps to make connection between us and creates community around this youtube channel.
I care more about that part of audience and do not worry too much if video is not getting the most possible views. 1 true fan is more important for me than 100 viewers who jumping on one of my video just to get answer on some question and then are gone forever.
Also, it is more fun for me to make videos like this. Sitting in front of computer and reading text from telepromter is boring as hell ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As soon as his UA-cam channel will become boring chore I will stop doing videos.
Thats why Unix scalling sucks. On windows 4k display is scalled much better.
after 7 years of studying computer science I just recently did buy my first monitor hahah. now it seems so silly to me. I was working on a tiny laptop screen all that time. now having a 27inch screen everything is so much easier. somehow my work is not as tiring than before... haha. I did go big for the apple studio display as I did not want a compromise that does not fully satisfy what I am looking for and the only other alternative was the lg 5k since I am working on a Mac. btw really appreciate your videos, the put me in a good mood somehow. keep it going.
Oh, you were waiting way to long :D
Great to know that my videos are helpful!
Hey, how would be 24inch qhd monitor for m2 air ?
imo 24" is too small for comfortable work, but that is subjective opinion
First company that makes a 40" 16:9 8k display with a slight curve gets my money. A man can still dream, right?
Perhaps you will need to upgrade MB as well to drive all those pixels :)
Yep, I would like to have screen like that as well
@@AivarsMeijers Too true! 😅
Is 24 inch 1080p a good option
Well, that depends on the budget you have. I wasn't hyped about the 1080p look on 24"
wow 30hz is rough :(
Oh, yeah. Just noticed that as well. For some reason Mac switching to 30hz even that is 60hz monitor. Perhaps I should blame HDMI cable
Finally, thanks!
is this car based on a Volkswagen platform?
Yes, it is.
What is the good size for coding purpose for 4K? Is it 27” or 32”?
For 4K, I choose 32", especially if you are going for one monitor setup.
For my eyes, 27" in 4K is too tiny for comfortable work.
But it is a subjective choice. Compare both if you can to see how you feel about it.
@@AivarsMeijers so, shall i go for 27 inch 1440 one
@@tluanga-ruatpuii-pa That's what I eould consider if can't get 27" 5K
All of you are talking about the downgraded performance but where are the test results? Just bla bla bla
Yes, very subjective and opinionated video
You're running your monitor at 30 hz. Wtf. Lol
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
so what is the solution to scaling problem than ? apple monitors are way overpriced !
