    I ended up switching from an ASUS 1440p 34" ultra wide to an LG 2160p 32 inch and haven't looked back. My use case is mostly work (no video editing, I mostly monitor a very large network) and very mild gaming. Some of my more intense games I run at 1440p and the loss is nominal. It usually is used for content consumption which it does without breaking a sweat.

    I have the 29" LG ultrawide and it's amazing for multitasking. As for black bars, if media doesn't support the 21:9 aspect I'll just keep it windowed and the rest of the real estate might as well be a second monitor since the video is definitely large enough for me and there's plenty of space left

      What I really like about Ultrawides is that it's fit for a guy who does productivity. Like me. Plz I don't want to mind the black lines when I play as standard resolutions like 2560x1440 or 4K. Plus, I'd prefer an LG Ultrawide, but they are so expensive if you want 3440x1440, although 2560x1080 is a sweet spot for me since it's cheaper, I want less screen tearing and stuff like that. Conveniently, I won't list my other reasons because I have a LOT.

    • @ReadySetGame87
      @ReadySetGame87 8 років тому

      I honestly want one very badly but unfortuantely for a good one it is about $600- 700 at least 34 inches, way out of my budget but the games i play could so benefit from an ultrawide.

    @Mildly_Amused 8 років тому +59

    After comparing 21:9 and 4K monitors, I went with the 21:9 34" Asus PG348Q for several reasons:
    First, the PG348Q offers 100 Hz refresh rates and G-Sync for gaming.
    Second, 3440x1440 is a lot less pixels for the graphics card to push, so you get a higher refresh rate.
    Third, even the GTX 1080 can't get maintain a minimum of 60 FPS in most newer games at 4K, however the GTX 1080 and other GPUs can can manage over 60 FPS in most newer games at 3440x1440.
    Fourth, the 34" curved monitor is an amazing gaming experience. You get better immersion in the games.
    Fifth, the current 4K monitors can't do over 60 Hz even if you include the adaptive refresh rate monitors(unless you count thee Dell OLED monitor that cost several thousand dollars). When faster GPUs come out, I'll be limited to 60 Hz at 4K if I were to buy a 4K monitor now.
    Sixth, most newer movies are 21:9 and look amazing on the 21:9 monitor. You don't get the black bars at the top and bottom.
    Seventh, at 30-34", the distance the screen is away form my eyes on my desk, both the 4K and 3440x1440 monitor have a pixel pitch that's smaller than what I, and most other people, can see at that distance. So, going with 4K really doesn't offer a huge improvement in detail for me at that distance.

    That's a good point when it comes to straight lines. I'm in love with these 21:9 monitors and really want one, but I'm a gamer who spends more time in Premiere and After Effects than any game out there. I wonder if that curve will also bother me. That being said, I've watched a few monitor reviews from tech channels, and you're the only one who raised that issue. Other channels tend to give glowing reviews when it comes to editing. Especially with the huge timeline space (a major selling point for me).

Both are amazing monitors, but as a developer, I feel that this ultra wide has more space for me to work. I can split the screen into 3 spaces and work more comfortable than on the 28".

    • @Naectro
      @Naectro 7 років тому +28

      Actually, even your physical prerequisites show that width is better than height. If you move your head all day up and down you'll get health problems. It is much more comfortable spinning your head to the left or right.
      Furthermore you can't say that it is better for productivity in general. Actually it's just good for programming and some IT guys that don't write scripts even prefer a wider setting. Btw: IT guys buy 16:19 or 21:9 monitors and turn them 90°. No one uses 3:2 that's just bs.
      And you clearly haven't edited anything yet. It's not like people buy 21:9 monitors ONLY for editing...no...that never happens... you dig?

    • @lusteraliaszero
      @lusteraliaszero 7 років тому +17

      You're totally wrong were. first of all, The range within which your eye can truly focus is perfectly circular, IE, your eye focuses at a 1:1 aspect. It is also better at a adapting up and down without moving your head than left and right, it's a total nonissue, your head won't move at all, just your eyes. And your eyes will also strain less moving up and down than side to side.
      There's a reason every pure text format, like books, are always taller than wide. It's not going to make people nod excessively.
      The surface studio is 3:2. The macbooks are also taller, the chromebook, etc. Generally the premium devices marketed at designers are taller.
      Widescreen for video editing is bad, you want to display the video at its actual aspect ratio (wide is truly good for videos, because it's advantageous for the eye not to perceive EVERYTHING on the screen perfectly, this is more immersive) while still having space for your tools.
      Widescreen for drawing is terrible, you want as much real estate as possible, without traveling too much, taller is more ergonomic. curved ultrawide is obviously as bad as it gets unless you're producing niche products
      Turning a widescreen on its side is just another extreme too far in one direction. It would be good for a very limited selection of things, like dedicating it for programming, but this is absolutely a compromise brought on by the current market. Thankfully taller screens are making a return

Watching 21:9 on 16:9 however, is not so bad because everyone's used to seeing the horizontal black bars.

    Coming from a Asus Strix PG279 to an LG 34UC89G I have to say backight bleeding is still an issue if you need >professional< colors. However the 34 inch 21:9 is large enough to compensate some drawbacks of playing 1080p (16:9) content. then you also can attach the monitor with 2 cables so you have real 2 monitors in Windows. the 34 inch compensate the dividing a lot too.

    Great video. It was literally exactly what I was looking to have answered for me, as I do digital art work and am considering running my Xbox One X on a 21:9. I had one question, from the video it looked like the two monitors side by side were the same screen height, even though the UHD is 2160 and the UltraWide is 1600. As a person who appreciates a good aesthetic, are they the same height or are they really close?

  • @merlinklink3872
    @merlinklink3872 5 років тому +12

    I'd go with 21:9, I wouldn't have to use 2 seperate monitors so I won't have a bezel in the way. 4k is cool and all but I'd much rather have a curved 21:9 screen.

    • @cun7us
      @cun7us 3 роки тому

      Exactly, that's the biggest advantage of having ultrawide. Anyone who says "ultrawide is too big. I prefer 2 monitors" literally makes no sense because your eyes are moving the same distance, only you don't have the annoying 2x bezel in the way and your content is all on one screen.

      I miss the old portrait-landscape-portrait with the 30" 2560x1600 monitor flanked by two smaller screens. Both the physical height and the pixels per inch were perfectly matched between the two. If you got the same brand of monitor (Dell, for example) and calibrated them together, the colors would be identical too. It really was fantastic.

    Along with that extra resolution also has to come with an upgrade in GPU along with it, since more pixels requires something faster and smoother under the hood of your rig. So if you're going 4K, don't forget to see if your current GPU can push those extra pixels without all the lag. Heads up.

    2 - I like the larger height of the 32" 4k. Things like word documents, web pages, even Steam were a "chore" to scroll through on the ultrawide.
    3 - 4k is just awesome in terms of picture quality.

  • @AymanRSaleh

    I just ordered a 21:9 monitor and the decision wasn't particularly tough. I don't have to deal with the weird windows scaling, I get more effective real estate (used to working with dual monitors at work, so now I feel like I need something similar at home), and I love the curve. I don't do any photo or video editing, so the distortion is a non-factor. Not to mention that I actually have a chance of being able to run games at decent settings and native resolution while maintaining a good frame rate.

Racing and open world games look amazing and FPS titles are more immersive. 2560x1080 is NOT much more demanding than standard 1080p so most graphics cards can play high settings at full res.
