I was looking for such kind of video and after watching number of video I ended up watching urs. Please add studio one, music Daw in ur title and tags as well
Thanks for watching. Glad you found it and hope it was helpful. I added the tags to it, though UA-cam says that the tags don't generally help much. Studio One, Cakewalk, DAW, and 4k are all in the description of this one which should have helped. Either way, thanks again for watching and for the comment.
I have found my 28” 4k monitor too small for native resolution, and the 50” 4k flat tv too big. People are used to angled dual monitors, and looking up at the top half of a large 4k monitor is not very ergonomic either. A fair number of legacy music plugins still don’t support scaling or HiDPI, ahem Waves and Waldorf. The ultrawide format looks like the next attractive option for me.
I'm sure that the 28 would be too small and would require scaling, which as you mentioned, probably wouldn't work so well for all applications and 50" would definitely be pushing it. The 43" definitely takes a bit of getting used to, but I really like being able to gain the height as well as width by going to a 4k vs ultrawide. The width is greater and the height is double. Some like the angled screens or a curved screen, but when I use dual monitors I'm actually just a bit obsessive about them being exactly aligned and not tilted at all - so the removal of the bezels made my OCD pretty happy! :) Thanks for your comment. Hope you find what works best for you.
Do I understand correctly that your monitor is 43 inches and you are running at 100% scaling? i'm thinking about getting a 32 inch 4k screen. Would you discourage me from doing that and going bigger or can 32 inch screen work as well?
@Radek - Yes, I am at 43" and 100% scale. 32" is probably pretty small at 100% scaling. As I think I mentioned in the video, the reason this works out pretty well on the 43" is that it is effectively like having 4 x 21.5" monitors, which can each comfortably display 1920x1080. But at 32", assuming a 16:9 ratio and not one of the ultrawide screens, you might have to scale that to 150%. If you are getting a 32" ultrawide, then you'd probably set that to 2560x1080 or whatever its native resolution is. Generally, you are going to get the best picture at native resolution, regardless of the monitor size. Also, as soon as you enable scaling, there is a chance that your applications, plugins, etc might not display correctly if they are not programmed for it and end up really small or the UI looking very strange. Hope that helps!
My monitor is an Acer DM431K. It's available on Amazon here: www.amazon.com/Acer-DM431K-bmiiipx-IPS-3840x2160/dp/B07SLLJWV4 Note that I only paid $399, not the $699 they want for it now. B&H shows it backordered until December, but for $379. I got mine at MicroCenter and every so often, I see them pop in stock there. Even my IT distributor only gets them in one of their warehouses once in a while. That's how I was able to grab my second one (for home), but I had to be fast and order as soon as it was there. Probably a Covid thing - maybe because people want them for work at home? Maybe because they are made in a factory that has been switched over to fulfill the Toilet Paper demand ;)! Good luck finding this or another 4k monitor - it's totally worth the effort!
@@BladesMusic I was able to suss out the model, but thanks for the info all the same. Yeah, I'm not gonna drop $700 on it. I can get a 65" TV for that. Looking at going 55" TV. I know. It's not a "monitor." But until the PC world gets jiggy with TV-esque pricing-to-size ratios, a TV will do for now. Thanks, again.
00:36 "What you are seeing on your screen capture right now is effectively the same as one of these two 1080p monitors." Did you just blindly assume all your viewers were watching on a 1080p monitor?
Not really. The screen capture (Camtasia) was set to capture a rectangle of 1920x1080 pixels. If you happened to be watching on a 1080p monitor and you were at full screen, you'd be seeing exactly what was captured at a 1:1 ratio (which also was really only 1/4 of my 4k screen. But regardless of what you are watching it on, the screen capture was really at 1920x1080. No assumption about how you viewed it. I didn't say "what you are seeing on your screen", I said "on your screen capture". Maybe I'd have been more accurate to say "on MY screen capture". I hope the video was otherwise useful to you in some way.
@@BladesMusic Thanks for your reply. Yes, I think saying on YOUR screen capture would probably have been more accurate, although the max resolution on this video of yours was only 720p, not 1080p. ;) But otherwise, it was a good and informative video.
@@Hanshuber161 Thank you. Yeah - I don't know why UA-cam dumbs down my uploads to 720p. I export an mp4 that on my local system before upload is 1080p. Sometimes I get the full resolution after UA-cam crushes it, sometimes not. :(

I think the best option for 4k is to go with a 32 inch

@@BladesMusic I will probably end up going for 34 inch ultrawide.
