    Comparing the 3 low-profile keyboards would be GREAT for me, as I am currently still looking for a keyboard to pair up with my macbook and can't decide between exactly these 3. It would be really helpful video for me and I believe for a lot of other people considering the fact that those are probably 3 of the most popular mac keyboards on the market.

    I was using low profile keyboards: logitech mx keys, apple magic keyboard, but for some reason they felt uncomfortable after some time, I recently moved to mechanical keyboards, now I'm using keychron q1. I suggest buying a wrist rest from keychron, that eliminates the problem that is not a low profile keyboard. I work as a software developer and I'm typing all day, so far the most comfortable experience I've had with a keyboard.

      @@lucys4312 I think that setup would work well. Don't forget when traveling, unless you're visiting a very remote area, you can buy almost any kind of cable, battery, or charger you need within about 5 minutes (airport, convenience store, grocery etc). Takes a lot of the stress out of traveling! Especially if you forget something or it stops working. I did 4 weeks in Japan this year so used a lot of Google translate and maps. I would recommend either making sure your phone plan has a data roaming option (might be expensive), or get a local SIM.

    4K displays scale perfectly with macOS if you select the "Larger Text" option (looking like 1080p)

    • @CreatedTech

      It's a 5K horizontal resolution, but only 4K vertical. So the overall resolution is still technically "4K". It can be confusing because a lot of monitor companies don't advertise it correctly, so people think it's a true 5K display.

It seems you're making up your own classification for resolution, or at least one that I am not aware of in my infinite knowledge of the subject (sarcasm); the only resolution numbers I've ever seen are given by the approx max number of pixels along one axis, which is the horizontal axis in most cases. And anyway, the monitor in question has 2K vertical. But I see what you mean, and don't deny that it makes sense in some universe.

      @@HelloWorlds__JTS LG markets the 40WP95C-W as "5K2K (which is 5120 pixels x 2160 pixels)". However, a traditional 16:9 aspect ratio 4K monitor is 3840p x 2160p. So LG's marketing is even more confusing, because although this monitor is technically "2K" pixels vertical, that pixel count (2160) is still equivalent to a 4K resolution. I guess the best way to think about the resolution of this monitor is "Wide 4K".

    Good recommedations, but why the Samsung T5 over the T7? They're so close in price now and from the clip it seems like you recommend the T5 at a $139 price, and I just don't understand why you think it's worth that much. I've bought T7s for less

      Not a whole lot of difference between them tbh. If you can find a T7 for a really good price, get that over the T5. One reason why I avoided T7s in the past is that they had issues with overheating when reading or writing a lot of data. They would thermal throttle and give you the same speed as a T5.

    Any other resolution other than 5120x2160 / 2 looks like blurry shit on LG 40WP95C-W. Even if you're not a designer, just reading blurry text on the screen is disgusting. So actually if you're used to retina clarity, on the LG 40WP95C-W you only have the 2560 x 1080 option where everything is perfectly sharp. Yes the UI will be large, but where you have text or some sort of editor, you can usually control the zoom regardless of the interface. I own an LG 40WP95C-W I will soon buy a second one like this to put stacked on top. But once again, using stretched pixels is absolute nonsense.
    Windows doesn't have this problem, but macOS can only output the interface clearly 1x or 2x resolution. When it's a huge dpi like >220 on macbooks then the stretched resolution is noticeably less, but when it's 140 dpi 40 inch ultrawide then you're literally looking at blurry shit.
    Still don't understand why Apple are such dicks and can't make a normal interface scaling, not stretching the already rendered screen. Shame on them. Like, we don't give a shit that there are any other monitors besides 200-230 dpi, let's pretend they don't exist.
