      I've got ADHD. Usually have;
      - 2/3 browsers open at once, at least 10 tabs each
      - 2 films open on GOM Player, or a film and TV show
      and that's before we get to Gaming ... or Trading
      Would a single 34" be better than my twin monitor set up?

    I have a Macbook Air 13 and a cheap 27 inch monitor. I've been tempted to get a 32 inch 4k monitor. This video has got me considering ultrawide instead. One thing that annoys me is that monitor companies chuck in a heap of expensive extras rather than spending the money on screen quality. I don't need 10 connectors and TV capability and speakers. It's actually hard to find a clean high quality 4k monitor.

    I went from 24" 1080p to the same with a dual (curved) monitor set up to a current 34" 1440 ultra wide curved monitor. Love my UW 34" & I'm not going back. It ticks all the boxes for daily productivity (multiple windows open), videos and gaming. The dual monitor set-up was pretty good except for the ugly bezel in the middle & the bulk. It was not easy to dismantle & move if I had to move my desk to another room.

    I went from two 24" 16:10 monitors to a 42" ultra wide and am going back after several months of using the ultra. Probably it's just my habits from using a dual monitor setup for years, but I've never gotten the hang of using the ultra-wide without constantly losing open windows or finding the slight reduction in window size annoying. Being able to double click a window to full screen, but it only taking half my viewing area works better for me.

      @Ambander1 many monitors allow splitting the screen indeed. The real problem is the height of ultrawide monitors, you are generally limited to 1440px in vertical direction.

  • @grim.reaper
    @grim.reaper Рік тому +34

    The “bezels” in the dual monitor setups is not much of an issue as the having to turn your head way too much off axis depending on the distance from monitors & sitting position and not to mention increasing the distance also means increasing the font size/scaling which significantly reduces the screen real estate available. There’s definitely a sweet spot for everyone. And that’s probably one of the reasons why I would consider switching to ultra wide screen.
    But then I would rather have one of those 43inch screens

    I went from 2x 24" 1080p monitors (with my main monitor beeing 165Hz IPS and the secondary beeing 144Hz TN) to 34" curved with both 24" now as side monitors. When I was upgrading, I made it a very hard choice, as is a friend of mine: he's currently upgrading from 27" 1440p and is considering 32" 4k or 34" UW.
    I must say: I had the very fortunate luck of getting one of the last "LG UltraGear 34GP950" that were sold below 1k € and I've never regret it even a single day. Horizontal workspace, more immersive than traditional 16:9. Texts are super sharp and I have to specifically look for blurs; colors (I occasionally fotograph) out of the box were quite good, but calibrated they are pretty damn good. I know, HDR is to be neglected with monitors that can't get 1000 nits, but on my monitor even with only 600 nits, 56 zone dimming and "ambilight" it's still very immersive. 11 out of 10 would go ultrawide again. Any day, any time.

    I still have my 6 year old 27" imac, and once you go wide you won't go back, but I guess it depends on your needs, I work from home, running an electronics design/engineering/manufacturing business, so the wide screen is great for PCB design, cad design , large spreadsheets, 3d printing, all the online purchasing i need to do, accounting and all the researching i need to do, having multiple windows open side by side makes this great! The resolution of the LG is no problem, the brightness is a little low, but you get use to it. The only problem i had was calibrating the colour, I contacted both apple and LG, both were useless in support! Note that, the image/text quality on the LG is terrific!

I used 2 devices that I wanted to use with USB but had to swap out or use use HDMI. I’d often use 2 devices, 1/3 - 2/3 screen but could only have 1/3 on right side of screen, that drove me crazy. More generic issue is Mac OS support, I really wish this better. Full screen video would letter box the sides wasting 50% of the screen. Wish full screen video could fill one side with a desktop free for the other side, a work around could have been to use 2 cables but monitor only had 1 usb c, Mac only has usb c output and then Mac OS doesn’t all windows to float across multiple screens.

Both companies also have cheaper versions without the KVM switch. There's better monitors for either gaming or work, but these ones strike a balance IMO.

    my personal belief is that refresh doesnt need to be higher than 144hz and you dont need more than 2k resolution in gaming. Since using VR i have discovered the main thing gaming is missing is FOV especially for single player.
    i also do 3d work and Looking at this now I realize i may NEED an ultrawide as I often misjudge the size of things on the screen in both 3d space and video editing because of all the widgets and tools that are in the way. This also gives me a reason to get 4k or even later upgrade to 8k if i have to but damn my PC would be working overtime for that.

      ​@@bluejayusa1 Hi! Funny enough i recently upgraded to Ryzen 7600 and RX 6800, because i bought an 34 inch 3440x1440 Monitor.
      Depends on you, i would say. If you want to use 21:9 in 1080p, i would say RX 6600 works most of the time. But of course there are newer Videogames, that demand more Vram and faster Cards to run them in High/Ultra.
      If you have an 8700, you should be good with RX 6600 but there is also RX 6700XT (12GB) or 6800. I got my RX 6800 non XT fpr 380 new. 4 Months ago in germany.
      At a certain point, your CPU will botleneck you in 1080p, but not an RX 6600.
      My RX 6800 was bottlenecking my i7 8700 in 1080 Ultrawide. Not badly, but there was some in certain games.
      Used GPUs are not problem, but you never know. You do not know how hot it was, how much it was used, if it was mined on.
      The "biggest problem" would be, that the cooling of the Cards gets worse over the Years. Thats normal, since the Thermal Paste and almost always, the Thermal Pads between Card and cooler dry out and need to be replaced. I would not say, that buying a used Card is bad. I just gifted my RX 6600 to a Friend, because he was in need and he helped me out 3 years ago, when i did not have the Money for a GPU within the GPU crisis.
      I do not know where you live. I guess that makes it difficult for me to know how the used market is. In germany, Prices for used Cards are almost the same as new ones.
      But i would THINK, that an RX 6700XT will benefit you better on the longer run, since the RX 6600 "only" has 8GB of Vram. The higher your Resolution goes, the more Textures the Card will have to render and put somewhere (vram). So, Vram can get "full" quite fast. BUT i reaaaally depends on the Games of course. I had ZER oProblem with that Card and that CPU with eg. Hogwarts Legacy in High in 1080 Ultrawide.
      Nvidia is also there of course. But they are more expensiove, while offering you less faster Cards and less Vram for same amounts of Money. Do not buy an RTX 4060 or something like that.

    Unsure of replacing the 27" with a 34" 21:9 or another 4k 32" or replace both of them with this 40" or potentially a 38" 1600p.

    The curved 40 inch is a good choice. I have a 49 inch ultrawide but it's not curved enough. As a consequence, I need more space between me and the screen to avoid having to move physically when I look at different parts of the screen. And in 5120 x 1440 (native for a 49 inch), the letters are too small and I need to wear my glasses. I usually try to remove them when I'm home. Also, although an ultrawide monitor may sound like a good idea for the immersive effect of a video game, many games are not compatible with 5120 x 1440. Not sure why but this is a major issue. One final thing : I love UA-cam and every time you put a video full screen on a 5120 x 1440 monitor you will get black lines on each side of the screen. This is why I still have a preference for two 27 inch screen. I think that a 40 inch screen would also solve the problem.

    I need to give some history. In 2010 ish I bought a Dell 30" 16:10 monitor and I absolutely loved everything about it. Unfortunately it got damaged after I moved house(and country) so in 2017 I bought an UW gaming monitor with a curve. It always were a downgrade from my Dell monitor, especially that the uniformity was bad with backlight bleed as curved monitors are, and no! my Acer x34 UW were quite good for what it was still the Dell 16:10 monitor had a WAY better uniformity. Then there is the lack of space vertically it sucks. Now I am running a 32" flat FALD (Acer x32fp)screen as main and a 27" old (HP Z27s)screen, both 4k. Compared to the UW experience this is night and day, would never, ever go back. Still miss the height that the 16:10 monitor would give, but it is still IMHO a way better solution for a desktop than the UW.

    I can only give my point of view as a gamer. I do use my computer for work and University, but that takes just two windows. The hassle of incompatibility with ultrawide content it´s a real problem. Gaming for FPS is good, for other games, not so much. IF you´re on a similar situation as me, just buy a 2k 27" (I suggest it to be slightly curved so there´s no distortion). Now if you actually benefit from the perks from an ultrawide, go for it, just don´t think everything´s perfect.

      Proper ergonomic positioning of a monitor is to have the top bezel level with your eyes. Your eyes should be looking slightly downward if you're looking at the center of the screen. Don't take my word for it, look it up.
      That being said a lot of the footage in this video may have simply been B-Roll for the purposes of this video, which means that's not how the monitor is actually set up on my personal desk for everyday use.

    I dont game, so I cant look at this from a gamers point of view. For what I do, an ultrawide just wont do. Tried a 34" flat ultrawide for a few months and it just didn't cut the mustard for me. Then I tried a 38" curved ultrawide for a couple of months and absolutely couldn't stand it, but I gave it enough time thinking Id just need to get use to it. Nope, still hated it. Ultimately, I went with two 27" monitors and I love this set up. I cant explain the technical side of why I didn't like the other setups, but what I can say is that there is something about having 2 completely separate monitors that are large enough to still be usable in split screen. Productivity on such a setup goes through the roof for me.

I've been a dual monitor user for as long as dual monitors has been a thing. I've tried ultrawides (curved and flat) and just never got used to it. Curved monitors also present some issues for certain work which after trying one made it a no go for my day to day stuff. It does eat up a lot of desk space and all the cables can get messy if you are not particularly neat like myself but I quite enjoy working this way now. That said this is a pretty good review.

That’s my only issue, still to this day a lot of titles don’t support it despite the popularity of them.
