    These two curved 32:9 monitors - the LG 49W95C-W and Dell U4919DW - are basically the equivalent of TWO 27" standard monitors but with no bezels in between!
    Dell’s U4919DW is a 49 inch, 32:9 super ultrawide monitor with a 5120x1440p resolution… and so is LG’s 49WL95C. But which one should you get?

    I always had problems myself with a dual monitor setup or the likes and heard so from other people. Constantly working on one or the other side of the desk puts strain on the spine and neck and can lead to backpain and headaches. Using three monitors (or a similar configuration) not only remedies this problem - if the main monitor is in the middle - it also boosts productivity by over 30% (as opposed to just over 8% with two - according to a study done by Fujitsu, if i remember correctly). When working on a computer for extended periods of time, I'd always go for a config with an odd number of displays. Worked wonders for me.

    I just popped in to Microcenter today to look at these guys and they are indeed sweet! I kinda wish there was something closer to a 40" ultrawide though. 35" doesn't seem quite immersive enough for the racing games I like to play and 49" starts to get weird geometry behavior towards the edges. I'm excited to see what happens in this space in the next couple months!

      Running the two 49" Samsung 32:9 Super UltraWide and one LG 49" UltraWide 21:9 on dual GTX1080ti... no issues with FPS... SO yes if you are running dual 1440p or a single 4k monitor... then sure step up to a RTX2080(ti)... BUT it's not worth the extra expense if you are already running the a 1080ti setup currently. I get well over 100 FPS playing any game I want...
      IF you are starting out new... then it would be silly to run a GTX1080ti over getting a RTX2080(ti) setup. BUT to upgrade right now is not worth the money vs performance gains... If my setup could not maintain proper FPS... sure time to upgrade... BUT currently 100 FPS is more then enough to enjoy any game.

    There is really no going back. I've got one of these for work and it truly is a productivity machine. One could argue that it'd be much cheaper to just get 2x 27" Dell monitors side by side, but there's something about being able to place your windows anywhere within a 49" space. You have so much more freedom with this thing.

I've used this on my designs (since I don't use the computer for gaming). Now, the steel arm for it is separate and you must pay attention because it highlights every model of monitor that it will go with.

    Having worked for so long on my two Dell U3011 monitors (16:10, 2560x1600), I'm super annoyed by the lack of vertical real estate on these ultrawides. Weirdly, the only 21:10 display out there seems to be the LG 38UC99-W, which for some reason still markets itself as "21:9" despite being a 3840x1600 display. And those 160 extra vertical pixels add up -- that's just over 11% extra vertical space than you'd get with 1440. Imagine trimming the bottom 10% off your display, and you'll understand my annoyance. 16:10 seems like such a sweet spot, I dunno why it's not the default ratio (other than to blame television). 5120x1600 32:10 would be so much more preferable than 5120x1440 32:9. And, it'd get you just 100,000px shy of the same surface area of a typical 3840x2160 monitor.

    • @tested211
      @tested211 3 роки тому

      I agree. It's pretty silly as that shallow height really limits the applications it's good for for productivity use. Even to watch a movie you're not going to benefit from much of that 49" width as the vertical height is capping the overall scale so much. I actually prefer shorter monitors ( to 2140 high) as I like the landscape format but 1440 is too short for most work. 1600 is the sweet spot IMO where there's enough pixels for the work and some interface but it's not so high that you're rendering too many pixels or just looking at everything at a larger scale. For now, the 38" ultrawides (3840x1600) are the only decent option for this. Also, this monitor looks like it would have a crazy amount of real estate but if I lay out the pixels in photoshop, it's not actually *that* much more real estate than a 38.

      Thing is, we found that out about 20 years ago (back then we have also started to increase polling rate of mice, so it was a double-barrel). Since late 90's I've been using at least 75Hz on my CRTs (there was an annoying 'flickering' - felt rather than seen - at 60Hz). In mid 2000's I was running games on ~22" flat CRT with resolution 1600x1200@100Hz and with lower resolutions @120Hz (could go up to 2560x1440@60Hz and could switch resolutions easily, cause CRT do not have that awful native resolution!). I've bought that monitor for 35 british pounds (one of the inputs was faulty)! A few years later I've purchased gaming monitor (27'' widescreen TN panel 1080p@144Hz) for 350 quid! Needless to say, my satisfaction did not increase tenfold. Weaker Black Levels, much weaker contrast, narrower viewing angles and stuck with lower resolution. Slight increase in refresh rate was negligible. What changed for better: widescreen (16:9 instead of 4:3), lighter and slimmer (didn't bother me when situated on my desk), lower energy consumption. Swapping CRT for flat-panel was good for TVs, less so for PC monitors (although perhaps a necessary step to what is coming next). Hmm...I'm sorry, I believe I have digressed here a bit :)
