Best QHD Ultrawide for a Productive Mac Setup? (LG 34WN780)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- I used to have (and love) the 49" LG superultrawide... until it had an accident. The latest ultrawide I'm testing is LG's 34" $600 QHD beauty. There's a LOT to like here (including massive productivity gains) and a few small annoyances.

It’s resolution isn’t 4K.
Just a note on 01:07, QHD is not 4K, rather, it is 2K. UHD, on the other hand, is 4K.
Great video. I like how you are stright to the point ! Can you purchase the Monitor arm separately if not which one would you recommend buying instead?
I got a variant of this monitor with USB-C, a curved display and a more advanced VESA mount (34WP88C-B). Honest first reaction is actually fairly negative to be honest. The brightness and resolution of my MacBook Pro has me spoiled. Text just looks slightly "fuzzy" compared to what I've gotten used to and the brightness is just slightly low. Too bad as the screen real estate itself is awesome. Toying with the idea of going to a 34" 4K UltraFine instead. Wish the 5k-6k options were more affordable.
Thanks for all your hard-work!
I think you have just sold me on my new monitor. Subscribed. I dont see a video on the 40 inch yet. Also, where did you get that awesome coffee cup? And what's in your coffee to get that froth? Or is it a really good stout beer? HA. Thanks for the video man!
Love ur setup and video Chris 😎🔥💯
Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your videos! I really appreciate it. Have a great week.
Thank you, very helpful video. Keep up the good work!
Nice setup!. You mentioned that it’s charging your MBP (although it’s not optimized for that). I’m curious to know, what ports are you using on the monitor and on the Mac?.
yes this model does not have usb C
What is that iPad stand? Just snagged this display, great value!
Thanks for the video, mind if I ask what resolution your running your Mac?
Great Review! How is the flicker safe function on this LG monitor? Some monitors like acer or asus claim to be flicker free, is this monitor as good as flicker free?
Hi! What do you think is the optimum distance between your eyes and the monitor?
I really like your desk, how wide and deep is it ? I would like to buy something which is similar.
PS Thank you for this LG review, it was informative.
I've wanted to get this screen for a while! Would trade my 4k 27' for an ultrawide. Nice setup dude!
Great content as always!
You were the one that demonstrated the value of a curved monitor, curious to hear your comparisons between this non-curved vs your curved monitor (or the flagship curved one LG sends) Edit: Heard you say later that it needed to be wider to require it. Makes sense!
Awesome video. Can you share what kind of chair you have in your set up? Thanks so much for all the awesome content you share with all your audience!!
Desk chair? It's a model from Staples... can't remember which...
Man love the setup. What is that moving prism thing in the background!? Could really use one of those
this is perfect vid for me lol cause i'm currently watching this on the 49inch LG. I've had it for two years, and realizing i wanna downsize.
Whoa! JS! Been listening to Not Gon Do on repeat lately. Glad you stopped by. It's a great monitor - see it in action with Universal Control yet? ua-cam.com/video/Yc--aGKhdAQ/v-deo.html
Did either one of you consider a 38" 3840 x 1600 as an alternative?
Hi, Nice review overall, but can you tell me does this monitor have PIP or PbP?
Great vid. Looking to buy Mac studio. How compatible would this monitor be? Would all keyboard functions work? Thanks
Hey man, what’s your desk size? Thank you!
Were you able to test the USB type A and type B ports at the back of the monitor if it can support wired keyboard, mouse or any device?
Hey Chris, are you still using this monitor? Any regrets? I just got an M1 mini and want to get rid of dual monitors and go to one nice ultra wide. By the way, Go Broncos!
Looks really amazing! I'm thinking to do the same with my old imac
hey dailytekk first of all, nice review! Do you think this monitor is worth it for a bachelor student in Computer science degree? I just picked up the Macbook pro 16" and wanted to increase my screen real estate by getting another monitor.
Well I’m still using it and liking it if that helps
I love your set up thanks for sharing .
Hopefully it gives you some ideas!
It already has I love your work all the best to you .
Thanks for another great video Chris!!
What is the height of the bottom of the monitor from the desk when it is raised all the way up? Thanks
The LG 34WN80C is a curved version of this monitor for the same price.
Make a video on your experience for the apple ecosystem and then make a video about an apple ecosystem setup
Chris, what would you recommend in the $300 to $400 price range that uses usbc that keep the ratios correct from my Mac?
100-110 pixels per inch is gonna be the sweet spot for a MacBook typically.
@@obey_giant Yep that what I found out too! Or 220
Can you comment on the NEW
LG 40" UltraWide IPS Monitor with Thunderbolt, HDR10 and how it plays with NEW Mac pros ?? I
What is the mount/stand which you have for your iPad on the side?
i have a laptop with another lg monitor setup. I want to add a 3rd monitor- this one, but i have a mini diplay prot and a regular HDMI Port left for connection...does this monitor have either or both those connections for my laptop?
Nice video. Is it VESA mountable ? I'm not sure about how the arm would work on my desk that well.
It is.
What about the back led light you get there?
Wishing it was 100hz and had a higher contrast ratio. However, I think it's the best productivity monitor for the M1 Mac mini, etc. Would love a comparison with the almost zero compromised Asus Tuf VG34VQL1B.
Quick question, whats the make of the ipad stand you have?
i dont think it is a 4k monitor(3440x1440) ??!
Re: QHD
Correct, it's not
What is the stand you use please for the ipad? If any viewer knows please? Ty
I prefer 34 wide than 32 4:3 monitors, 34 wide is like have a big 27 inch.
I used a similar 34'' ultrawide in the office and i would say if you do a lot of zoom screen share, ultrawide format is not for you. I would rather have dual 27'' and just share one monitor and have my slack and zoom controls on the other monitor. I know you can share designated "screen area" in zoom; but it's much faster to have one dedicated monitor for screen share then to have to draw the sharing area every single time you share your screen.
Very very good point!
Can I run multiple inputs? Is there picture by picture support?
What cable did you use to connect the MacBook to the LG 34WN780?
HDMI in this video but I just got a USB-C to DP to use with my Brydge vertical dock.
@@Dailytekk is there benefits of doing that?
Hi, What is the model of the articulated arm that you are using?
Is there no USBC?
hey! what swivel lamp is that? link? thanks!
Hello, have an opportunity to buy this monitor used for 300, still a good value in 2023? Thanks?
Hi! What is that mind-mapping tool at 1:00?
were you able to rotate the monitor to 90 degrees?
how you switch between work and personal computers on this one?
Wish you called out the missing USB option. You cleverly showed the connection options without talking about them.
Can I use this with the MacBook air m1 with no problems?
We can change this ergo stand to traditional stand can it be changeable?
How do you connect it to a Mac? Via HMDI or Thunderbolt? Can't see it
Where did you get your desk??
What is the name of the "self perpetuating thing behind him???
What's the depth of your desk? I'm trying to decide between 25" and 30" (what I've had with my mid-century lawyer's desk).
Go 30" - big difference
@@maddogg1978peru That's what I ended up going with for my 2nd desk in the office bedroom.
what kind of desk do you have?
Can it rotate/pivot vertically to 90 degrees..?
is this not the same as 34WN750-B except it is on a vesa stand ?
Can this be vertical with the included mount?
Hows the screen quality compared to a regular 27-32 inch 4k monitor? Im coming from a 5k ultrafine but i just want more space. I’ve used a 4k and its fine to me.
did you get it?
@@mehulparmar9976 no, realized dont need it at this time
Hey everyone, how did you made the refresh rate to 75 hz, my mac only allows me to put 50hz, do I need thunderbolt display? I use default hdmi cable that comes with the monitor
The HDMI cable caps at 50 Hz. if you want 75 Hz you need a USB type C to display port 1.4 cable.
ppi is low . is text clear? I am coming from dell u2720q 160 ppi
Does this not have a usb c port
4K HDR .... it is needer 4k monitor nor is capable of any form of HDR beyond having it in as a sticker.
It is just the 34wn750 with new stand/arm.
Can I rotate this monitor to portrait mode?
Where is that cool metal moving decor on the back table from
does the monitor have thunderboldt? Can I charge my Mac and use the monitor with one cable?
no
How much dose it cost ? its cost more than 600$ in amazon. ???
Has anyone else got this? I’m wondering what the colour is like? Is it colour correct?
It was an ok chit chat but what about the specs? Refresh rate? Power consumption? Color gamut? Etc. Etc. Etc.
it's not 4K. Big error on part of the reviewer
@@ForbinColossus Correct, this is an ok monitor but is 2K QHD. Not 4K. Text is ok, no USB C, good for additional real estate display wise. Works decently w new MBP M1 16", but again its decent only. Dial in the color profile (image P3 or display P3 will yield better results) Problem with these reviewers that are given product to review vs having to buy and be budget conscience. They are pumping out videos for views not detailed info.
@@silverrunner8687 Thx, mate-Well said
What is the software @ 1:01 ?
what kind of cable?
Do you find that you can't get the same level of sharpness on a QHD ultrawide? I have my Macbook plugged in but everything is a touch bigger and less sharp than I'd like :(
Why
is it good for photoshop users?
How i connect it to a MacBookAir M2 ?
Mac you use it via USB-C ?
but this monitor doesn't have USB-C port right?
Which app is it that you are using at 0:58 ?
did you find out?
Nothing says I'm a dolt like having pictures of Steve Jobs all around your office.
is it the best 4k until now? with Mac m2pro
it is not 4K
This isn't a 4k monitor though... Your amazon link says 3440 by 1440 and 4k resolution is 3840 by 2160
It’s QHD as mentioned in the vid...
@@Dailytekk Just a misleading title...glad you changed it
Hi, hows your text display is it clear? i just recently bought this monitor and i found the text or font are foggy or not too clear. my refresh rate is cap to 50 hertz and resolution is set to 3440 x 1440
Did you find a solution?
@@koraytugay hi, yes the problem is the adaptor. I replace it to 4k@60hz and the text is clear and crisp!
Do you have the 34 Ultrawide or one of the 4k models?
@@dintots Do you mean Mini Display port to Display port cable?
Sounds like an Ad and not a review
Its just weird to see steve job photos behind your LG monitor
Does anybody know what type of desk that is? That dark wood finish is beautiful
3440 by 1440 has nothing to do with 4k!
Applehype?
Can you see pixels.
Millions of them. The resolution is 109 DPI. It's more than on the usual 24" FHD or WUXGA but it's clearly less than on a 32" UHD, which is 138 DPI.
Do NOT buy this monitor if you're sensitive to coil whine and high pitched noise. It has poor electronics.
I returned TWO of these monitors because they both had unbereable coil whine, especially in full screen white backgrounds with text.
And yes, i did try everything to fix it, messing with any possible setting, including 100% brightness. No fix... just poor electronics / caps / coils.
Do you still have this issue and are you still using this monitor?
@@annalowe4845 The issue was not something that could be fixed, it was just cheap electronics by LG. No, i returned both monitors.
What did you end up buying?
Update: This is what I bought and there is no coil whine issue with my unit. Using it for two months now.
@@arvi8843 Could you please post the production date of your model ? I'm just curious if it's something that was fixed in a new version. It should be written on the box somewhere.
I don’t think this is a 4K monitor?
Neither do I sometimes know what I think.
Until you said this is not sponsor all was okay.
I haaaaaaaaaaate curved anything! 🤦🏽♂️
Imagine this being pinned
dude paid best buy to recycle it lool
Apple fanboy 🤣
