![Monitor Buying Guide - What You NEED to Know! [2024]](/img/tr.png)
My girlfriend always said that size matters that’s why she left me for a man with a 49” QLED monitor.
LOL
Hahahah made my day... At least your 27inches are fast... Oh wait...
I'm the guy with the 49 incher:] its 3840x1080..I gotta say 4k is noticeable on my 70 incher but nare noticeable on a 24/27 imho
Is this true?
yeah sorry to tell the 49" but he's quite small compared to 80"
Me, watching this video enthusiastically, even though I can't afford neither one of them.
Update: I am now a proud owner of a 34" 1440p 144Hz ultrawide.
Karan Sood same ;_;
Same XD
Just ordered the ultrawide hope it doesn’t disappoint
Hahaha same
Hmm, try the scepter 4k monitor
5:44 for people who wanna get to the point
Damn it thanks !!
Just the video I needed, even 1.5 years after you posted it! I'm going ultra wide for work productivity.
I went 3440x1440 and do not regret it. The extra wide view in games is amazing and less pixels to push means better graphics performance. Also the increase in FPS to 120 makes it a hands down winner imo, since few 4k screens are over 60 fps; not to mention how much graphic power you need to even push that many pixels above 60.
@@itstommythechad I do not regret buying the new RTX 4070 at all. Runs 2K games at awesome fps, and 4k at comfortable fps, not full settings all the time, but great :)
Let me know how it goes in 5 more years, when you catch up mate :D
Nobody who wants high FPS plays at 4k. there competitive multiplayer games and use 1080p. If your playing at 4k with 30fps in single player games you will have a great experience. It is sad every tech tuber pushes "60 fps or it is not playable" such a false statement and literally a lie! 30fps in single player games @4k is fantastic.
same bro almost went alienware 38 inch but wanted invest more cash in build instead.. glad i did
Great video, but i think it would be more adequate to compare a 32" 4k to a ultrawide 34" (or even the same 38"). On the 27" 4k you can´t really put the greater dpi to use, since you don´t have enough screen..
Very informative, easy to comprehend and useful information. I am in the market for a monitor upgrade and your video has been the best I've seen....so far. It was short and pointed, which I appreciate and comprehensive. Keep up good work mate!
I personally use ultra wide , multitasking is very easy
Multitasking with a music.program would be sick on ultra wide I think. I don't mind some ultrawide screens Like my note 9 has. The black bars around non ultra wide videos on youtube are fine to me plus some games work well in ultrawide like fortnite and netflix. I like how many things ultrawide things are not streched too and stretched images and video would look gross to me ahahah. Man technology is so cool these days and I believe ultrawide videos might be normal soon from how many ultrawide monitors and phones are being made.
What about ultra wide vs triple monitor setup? I dont know whether to swotch to ultra wide
What if I already have a second monitor?
Should I replace the main one with a 16:9 or a 21:9 monitor?
JDario13 all curved? 😂
@@JDario13 sounds like a great plan, except my current tripled setup is 4k x3. If I change my middle one to 2k WQHD, then my vertical alignment is off :/
thank you for comparing both monitors side by side, this was useful.
Please make a updated video on the best 4k gaming monitors focusing on console gaming. You're the best, love all your videos!
It literally makes no difference whether you are playing on a console or a pc.
For those on a budget, they also sell 1080p ultrawides for a fraction of the price that have similarly great specs. I have one myself, no its not insanely sharp but its still beautiful and clear for gaming and productivity.
Thanks for the excellent video addressing this exact question I had in mind!
I just got the LG 38inch 21:9 recently, and I am loving it! games can't get more immersive albeit some old games don't support the aspect ratio (mostly Japanese games), but most new games do.For those of you who says it takes a lot of head turning to see all of the screen, it is not true, because while in game you still only look at the center part of the screen, you basically just glimpse at the side from time to time. It makes games feel more alive. Highly recommend it for gaming and multi window productivity.
I love your monitor comparison videos! Already helped me out a lot. Hope you will keep doing these monitor comparison videos! =)
I’m choosing between those two sizes myself. Great explanation of how to choose between the 27th and the 32. Thanks!
2:59 I was so inmersed in the game that I freaked out when he moved his left hand to hit esc lol
Coming late to the party.. I just got my first ultra wide monitor, and I don't regret it at all. Thanks for the video.
great video I made my mind i'll have both on my desk :)) btw where did you find that wallpaper !? I want it !
I went for 34" ultrawide and love the feeling of being overwhelmed. It maybe hard for me to go back to 16:9 unless it's a 32".
Just when I was about to buy 4x 32" 16:9 for the 4k and vertical space, you convinced me to get the 4x 34" 21:9.. I'm just skeptical about losing out on that vertical space..
Low-key wish they'd make a 23:11 just to throw everyone off, and not cut so much off the top lol
You're the best man, there's no better tech-man out there!
Thanks a lot for this comparison! You helped me a lot in my case. I struggled whether I should buy a 4k monitor or a curved one. And now I know it.
What did you get finally?I am considering too.
@@cheungjing9187 curved one is way better
Thank you for the video. I decided to go with ultrawide since I need more working space. I like mac os retina but 4k is basically fullHD working space with scaling.
Great vid and superbly presented, thank you :-)
I bought the LG29UM59-P for my first monitor after looking at reviews on TH-cam yours included and just love it. Would not go regular size.
Very useful comparison. It's amazing how low prices the 144hz 1440p ultrawide monitors have nowadays.
nice review Tom
Great break down man!
Thank you so much for all this info
Very well done with your video. Thank you!
Thanks for the review.
Totally agree. I use a 34" superwide at work. My colleages have a dual 4k monitor setup and constantly struggle with Hz, while I run my Samsung with 100Hz.
Great video, hard choice to me.
I think the price will help me to choose when I will be ready to change.
You the man for this video!
Thanks for the video!!
I've got both, love both, need both. The 4k is a must-have if you are using Photoshop or Lightroom on high-res photos.
Thank you for your guidance
I bought a 4k monitor and I don't regret it when watching 4k videos but I do when I'm doing video editing...Might be time to save up again for an ultrawide.
I got a LG 29inch Ultrawide and I love it, it really good when you're using Premiere, playing games or watching movies. But the downside it's that lots of media contents such as TH-cam which are normally 16:9 ratio, it won't be full screen on a Ultrawide monitor.
I definitely take the ultrawide. I've used both and ultrawides are my cup of tea. My workflow has increased, and I absolutely love gaming on mine.
I mean I bought an ultrawide and I don't regret it but I do regret one thing and that is that I can't watch most youtube videos since the quality for most of them looks bad.
@tommyxhilfiger I have 1000mbs internet speed, it has nothing to do with internet speeds if you display 1080p content on a 4k monitor its going to look worse than you displaying 1080p content on a 1080p panel. With ultrawide, it had a weird ass resolution of 3440x1440 or 5120x1440 even if you display 4k content on either of them it would still look better on a 4k monitor but apparently this idea went over your head.
Watching this 2 years after and finding it to still be great info that I agree with after a trip to the electronics store to actually get a feel for the pixel densities and actual screen-size real estate feel for myself. We still haven't fit the sweet spot, as what would be ideal would be a 17" height for the expansive feel of a 16:9 32" screen, but with ultra-wide, one-screen multitasking and immersion.
Unfortunately, 4k ultrawides still don't exist, much less a 4k _curved_ ultrawide, with a 17-ish inch screen height, which would seem to be the ideal of current technology. I'd still like to see more vertical resolution, which is really the only problem with ultrawides, currently, and the whole reason I'm deciding between exactly these two types of monitors in this video.
They do now, in 2022. 21:9 - 4K Curved with G-sync ultimate. 175 HZ. It's from an MSI brand. Their latest product. That monitor costs a lot, a few thousend bucks. The MSI Optix MEG381CQR PLUS - QHD Curved 175HZ - 38 Inch Monitor. It does the trick they all say. Mixed comments, idk. Thinking of buying it myself but i'm afraid to be honest, afraid i won't be able to use "Flawless widescreen" anymore on games such as Skyrim, an other old, none 21:9 titles. I'm afraid with a resolution like that, that i won't get rid of the black bars anymore. I use 3440X1440. Will i make a mistake if i upgrade from an Asus PG35VQ ? Most games do support 3440X1440 without black bars, but will this work for the MSI Optix i ask myself.
Me: ultrawide or 4k?
Tech chap: yes
Love the video. Nice desk setup! What are the dimensions of the top?
Excellent timing )
Keep up good work bro...
Hi great video
Which LG monitor would you suggest for ipad pro use?
Home offi9, photos, video and bit of gaming
Great report thank you - although the choice is more difficult now 🙃. What do you think of Dell‘s monitors? Cheers, Ian - do you reply to questions or not?
very very very good review
Great review :)
I preferred to use, two monitors with 23 inch than I used a wide monitor. I used Hewlett-Packard Z G2 monitor and Dell P2319H series. It's usefully for me that increases my productivity at work. Thanks
I've been using 34-inch Ultrawide for a few months, and I am very happy I chose it over 4K 16:9
Which model Asus ?
You are amazing tech chap
A very nice comparison
Wow ! 2020 monitors odyssey g9 has all the advantages and im loving it
Awesome video! Question, what size is that desk?
grazie mille , finalmente una recensione ottima ed interessante. Giosuè
thanks for this comparison video. I am going for ultra wide monitor :)
Muchas gracias, estaba indeciso si ir por 4k o ultrawide, y ahora ya lo tengo más claro, Saludos.
¿Por cuál te decidiste siempre?
Thanks good video.What is your desk? Cheers.
An updated review would be great
I have a 4K and an ultrawide. The dream is a 32UK950 with the LG Ultrafine 34WK95U 5K Ultrawide Monitor on my desk!
I have used both, i went back to 16x9 24 inch because of space and looking for a new computer desk, i will still keep my ultrawide as it has been great
Good! I love ultrawide. Do you have changed the MasterCase H500P for the H500P Mesh White, right?
I have used a 40" 4K Samsung TV as a monitor for over a year and quite enjoy it. However, my graphics card isn't quite powerful enough to hit those nice 60fps in games like Witcher 3 at 4K resolution. Therefore, it is now in the living room and being utilized as a television set. I am looking forward to the LG 34" ultrawide 144hz monitor arriving Friday as it is was favorably priced on Prime Day bringing an end to my long search for an ultrawide monitor.
LOL The Tech Chap, I think we have similar pc setup and I just realized we even use the same star wars wallpaper XD
I use 4k 32 inch for productivity. I admit it was a tough choice. I can open at up to 4 documents, or a combination of documents,chats, teams, a music video all at the same time)
I was going to get ultrawide at bestbuy but they didnt have a good one in stock so I went with the LG 4K monitor in this video. I really enjoy the clarity, but yes I only recommend if you have a GTX 1080 Ti or better, even my 1080 Ti struggles with some games on high settings 4K.
Nice video but ... What kind of live wallpaper are you using?
That's a cool wallpaper!
Ultrawide once you use it you'll never go back...got the Acer 34 in and LG 29...both are awesome !!!
Price
Can u provide some info on your desk? Size and where u got it would be great!
Useful review. Thank you. You asked for my preference. Informed with this review, I'm going to go with the ultra-wide, curved screen. I'm a programmer where resolution beyond all the obvious benefits, will hopefully decrease the strain on my eyes. I'm still ~young, but have an eye (haha) on the longterm. Thank you!
I'm a programmer too, never code with 4k monitor before, does 4k monitor hurt your eyes much when looking at text?
Hello! Would love to hear your opinion on ultrawide monitor (3440x1440) for office work and multitasking. I usually open multiple excels at once, with font size 9 and zoom 90%. I dont want to do any scaling since I want to get the real estate out of it. Under these conditions, do you think is it still comfortable to read text on an ultrawide? Thank you!
I would love to have an UltraWide monitor for work(Video Editing, Motion Graphics, VFX, 3D, etc.), but for gaming.. I like to have the monitor smaller so I don't turn my head left n' right because I get motion sickness easily when playing fast paced FPS games.
Ultrawide monitors currently hold an unnecessary price premium in the market right now but even though I genuinely feel it is artificially created (not something related to, say, production problems) for the purpose of making more money off those who really want the feature, it surely has enough benefits to warrant companies doing such a thing with price inflation.
I'm looking into ultrawides for the PC build I've been planning and I have to say, looking at the scarcity and relative high price of these models compared to similar 16:9 monitors makes you wonder. It'd be really nice to see a company put out a 21:9 with a decent refresh rate into the budget monitor segment. It'd certainly sell well considering nothing with a 21:9 aspect ratio can currently be had over 75hz for under $450 right now. I feel like a 2560x1080 ultrawide is something that certainly COULD be produced with a high refresh rate, low latency/input lag, and relatively good brightness/contrast/color volume for around $300 or so. Not sure why they don't exist right now, whatever company that gets into that space first will certainly have a volume seller on their hands. At 2560x1080 specifically is where the sweet spot is in my opinion, the higher resolution 3k and even 5k UWs are lovely but a 2560x1080 UW can actually make use of a higher refresh rate panel without requiring a $500-$1,000+ graphics card as well (which in turn, requires a more expensive CPU, which requires a better mobo, etc etc).
Iirc, 2560x1080 has aprox 700k more pixels vs a "traditional" 1920x1080 panel. That's about a 1/3 increase in total pixels vs a 16:9 FHD display which can be reliably pushed to over 100 FPS in most games today with reasonable settings on any above average consumer GPU from the last couple years so while there will be a tangible performance drop by moving to a 2650x1080 resolution, you likely don't NEED a new GPU to enjoy the benefits of UW without the drawbacks of increasing the resolution. With regards to the more common variation of ultrawide displays in today's market, those with a 3440x1440 resolution, you'll find that they can't post reliable framerates on many rigs that could comfortably break 100fps with the same settings at FHD. This is because, while a 2560x1080 monitor has about 1/3 additional pixels to drive vs a 1920x1080 monitor, a 3440x1440 monitor has 2.5x the total number of pixels. The subsequent performance hit is so massive that even if you could manage to lower the settings to compensate and allow for similar framerates to whatever a 1920x1080 monitor would be pushing, you'd be dealing with graphical fidelity that is so poor that you probably would prefer higher res textures, better lighting/shadows, better AA, etc that you could be running at a lower resolution.
Yes, you certainly could opt to run the game/program you want to have better performance at a lower resolution but that isn't as simple as it is made out to be. This is because in the past, resolution jumps where always made in a clear increments that allowed previous content to be easily up converted to the higher resolution simply by multiplying the pixels. This trend continues today with major jumps from 480p 1080p to 4k and finally to 8k all coming with a total pixel count jump of 300% with each resolution increase allowing for a 1 to 1 ratio binning technique to be implemented in the upscaling (which from my understanding simply makes it very easy to get a good result when upscaling since little to no post processing effects like anti aliasing are necessary for good results). The jump from 1080p to 4k is one such jump that allows for a perfect correspondence of upscaling by doubling each pixel in box axis of the image and because of this, gaming on a high refresh rate 4k panel is plausible as a user can lower the rendering resolution of the game to 1080p without seeing too much added visual artifacting or requiring extensive post processing effects which will likely add a significant amount of input lag.
This however, this isn't as easy when making a "half" jump in resolution. When transitioning from resolutions such as 720p to 1080p, 1080p to 1440p, or 1440p to 4k; you run into an issue where you can't simply multiply each pixel both horizontally and vertically to upscale. Since the 1:1 ratio of previous examples doesn't apply to these "half' jumps in resolution, a lot of extra work will have to be done at some point between the information coming off your disc drive and hitting the monitors pixels. The performance implications vary a lot depending on where in the chain this additional work is completed. For example, simply feeding a 1080p signal to a 2k monitor will likely result in the PP being done on the tiny processor inside the monitor/tv. If working on a TV then a heavy AA algorithm will likely take multiple passes at the image before it displays which increases the latency considerably (TVs are designed with picture quality over latency in most cases so this is expected). Contrastingly, if using a PC monitor, you'll likely run into a lot of strange staircasing artifacts all over your screen when closely inspected but obviously pixel density will be the most decisive factor regarding whether this is noticeable or a problem for you.
Circling back to my main point, the resolution increase from 1920x1080 to 2560x1080 allows for renderings to be done easily at all levels of computing. So long as everything is supported, you won't have any staircasing effects or artifacting issues lowering your visual experience (that isn't to say this isn't possible with a 16:9 2k monitor but the native resolution inherently makes it worse for native 1080p or 4k content). Considering the price of these monitors (especially the minimum cost of any UW with a refresh rate at or above 100hz), the logical place for companies to start focusing on is the entry level gaming segment. They aren't though, the majority of the UW market is a ton of overpriced 1440p variants that are usually pretty good products that don't get enough price criticism because there aren't budget friendly alternatives currently. Aside from those, there are a bunch of lower end models for entry level UW computing. These consist of better displays from a few years ago that have dropped in price and others from no name brands that seemingly intend of being a decent product with a killer pricetag. There are also a few halo models that are essentially the hypercar segment of the monitor industry. Cool to talk about, these products are meant to draw attention to brands more than sell in large quantities and also are the primary platform for experimental technologies to make the jump into consumer products. Due to their price though, they don't really have a place in this conversation.
Take a look around at the available 2560x1080 monitors though and you'll see what I mean. There are a couple models hovering between $450-$550 with good feature sets and no glaring issues, a ton of similar sets at prices above $550 or so, and a bunch of others between $200-$450. The issue is in this last segment, not a SINGLE model in that budget range offers a refresh rate above 75hz (most are 60hz). Considering very good quality 2k panels can be had with 144hz or higher refresh rates for well under that $450 that will get you into the high refresh rate UWs available, I don't quite understand why a budget minded company hasn't swooped in to offer a 2560x1080 monitor at between 27"-32" with a decently low response time. Ideally one would want a monitor with good picture quality as well but considering how wide open this niche of the market is right now, a company could slap together something incredibly cheap for great profit margins. If this happens, more reputable companies known for higher quality panels will likely offer something with better image quality for a small amount more but as it currently stands there are countless 16:9 panels at both 1080p and 1440p that offer tremendous value for your money but moving to 21:9 your options are diminished entirely to ridiculously expensive 3440x1440 models that will likely make you spend another couple hundred to upgrade your video card (due to 3440x1440 having about 150% MORE pixels to push than 1920x1080) or budget friendly options that won't be as taxing on your GPU but have hard FPS limits from 60 to 75 due to hardware limitations.
Hopefully 2019 will be the year that companies take the opportunity to fully expand into this portion of the market but until then I'm always going to question my choice of looking at UW monitors as there is an irrefutable and fairly large premium being set to get into certain features with UW monitors currently.
I bought the Alienware 34 inch ultra wide , it’s so awesome!!
I have one 34"ultra wide and one 27" 4k paired together. Best combo ever.
Good for you
Many thanks for your great work, can you update this video
21 9 is the best upgrade I've had for my gaming setup😊
Hi! What keyboard (full name if possible) do you have on that desk? looks gorgeous and would love one
Don't change your pronunciation, Tom; it gives us some petty intrigue! Great vid. I enjoyed the bit of self-deprecating humor at the end. Admittedly, it is funny that a non-native English speaker like Dmitry (the Canuck) says it more clearly than you, but that's just me taking the pizz. Keep up the great work. Glad to think YT is paying off for you.
I bought my ASUS 34 Ultrawide after watching your video reviewing it, I've been very happy with it. I have found some extensions to make TH-cam video is Ultrawide with a shortcut key.
I am going to stick with Ultrawide. Especially for Gaming and Multi Tasking.
What is the extension?

Every reviewer just talks about the timeline in their video editing software. I would like to know what's it like for programming. I consistently feel cramped with a 16:9 screen and I'm looking for something wider. The question is whether I should go for 21:9 3840x1600 (possibly a bit sharper text?) or 32:9 5120x1440 (loads of editors and apps side by side)
32:9 be like:
Finally enough space to fit the whole name of my Java class
32:9 is ridiculously huge in my opinion. Just go to your local PC retail unit and see it for yourself. It's strictly for gamers or anyone who uses a programme that requires it. It will make video content look awful, especially 16:9. I would go for 21:9, it's cheaper and more practical.
@@cun7us I already got it and it works just fine. I do wish that it was more curved however. 1800R is not enough
@@fdk7014 at that size yes, 1500R would be the ideal curvature.
@@cun7us I don't even think 32:9 is good for gamers. It's actually better for replacing a multi-monitor setup for productivity
I'll just wait for 32UK950-W and 34WK95U-W to come out. Are you gonna review these two monitors once they are out? I feel like these two are the most high-end ones from lg in this gen(year). Definitely want to buy a 32UK950-W for Xbox One X and PS4 Pro
I've been using a 40inch 4k Samsung smart TV and am very pleased with it. Yes I know it's only 60fps and it does not have any sort of screen tearing option, but TBH I love the picture quality and playing games like the Witcher 3 and battlefield 4 just look amazing. I'd rather buy a 400$ TV that is bigger and has 4k and has smart features than a smaller and way more expensive gaming monitor. But it just depends on you and what you want. Someday I do hope to get a kick ass gaming monitor when I'm able to blow that kind of cash. Love your videos @thetechchap keep em up! 😁
I do exactly the same with my Samsung UN40MU6290. I've been quite happy with it. I use it to do a lot of software development and video editing. It's perfect. Maybe my mind will change if I get into gaming. We'll see.
Im torn between 4k or an ultrawide, I really like the sharpness of the 4k, but besides it being more vertical space it is actually less space once you scale things to normal size. So unless you can read micro text on the 4k there is no advantage to having one for productivity.
Pixel count vs aspect ration is apples & oranges. I'm running a 32:9 1440p 49" and it's my favorite monitor of all time. Super Ultra Wide is simply my preferred type of monitor. Somewhat VR like immersion without the motion sickness. Amazing field of view. First person games, 3rd person games, driving games, platformers all look amazing. I even have a descent gaming TV (4k 144hz 65" 16:9) in the family room with a pretty stout PC (5800X,6700XT,48gb 3200mhz, 5tb NVMe) hooked to it and I still prefer my office 49" superultrawide. The TV is great for the very few games I want to play that doesn't support ultrawide monitors.
1.) Decide what level pixel count you desire for your framerate performance target and level of sharpness.
2.) Decide which aspect ratio works the best for you. Standard 16:9 has the most compatibility but 21:9/32:9 work great in 95% of games.
super test mon ami :)
Where can I find those wallpapers? That live one was great
Also great video!

Marcus Eckbauer Thanks mate!
I've been using an Ultra-wide screen monitor for about a month or so now.
The way it can transform some games is amazing, Mortal Kombat 11 is so much better in a 21:9 aspect ratio!
Hell I haven't found a single game that hasn't been positively affected by it.
Hey Tom, are you planning on doing anything for the new Razer Blade 15?
hey I switched from a 27 inch 4K ips monitor to an aw3423dwf monitor. I miss the sharpness of the 4K picture. that was really great. but the colors and contrast of the Alienware are so much better. so I'll stick with the Alienware. also it feels more immersive in Ultra wide Screen.
The perfect video exactly when I needed it ! I am looking to buy an ultrawide, preferably 1440*3440, with a high refresh-rate and a VA or IPS panel. Would you have any recommendation ?

I'd save your money and go for a cheaper Korean ultrawide. I've been using a viotek Gn34c and it's incredible! 3440, 100hz and it's curved. What more could you ask for?
The Samsung CF791 goes on sale quite frequently. It has a fantastic VA quantum dot screen, 3440x1440 resolution and 100hz refresh rate under $1000
Edit: it’s reeaaaally curvy
I like the desk, the case and the ultra wide too
Hey! I’m trying to decide between the 4K 32” and the QHD 34” curved LG monitors right now. Main use is for photo editing and graphic design but worried the curved monitor will warp my horizons and lines....from your experience which monitor would you recommend? (Also, I use the latest MacBook Pro)
As a graphic designer, I am aslo very interested in the question
Ya, you are going to have some issues getting accurate horizontal lines with the curved screen
4k ultrawide 144hz all in one plz :3
After playing ultra wide I can't go back
what types of games do you play? Do you cover a little bit of everything like fps, mmo, rpg etc? also what size ultra wide if you dont mind answering haha I'm just curious because Id like to pick one up myself but I'm not sure if i should go ultra wide (34") or 27"
@@filipnine I would go for 34", I have the PG348Q and love it. I play a variety of games.
I went back. I actually went running back. Even 1440p looked to pixelated for my taste. 1080p forget it.
Same on 4k bro
This is what scares me the most.
I currently run a 29" ultrawide, and I'm looking to get more screen real estate but at the same time while I'm thinking "higher resolution would be great to pair with my 2080 Super" I'm thinking" THAT ULTRAWIDE THOUGH"
Fuckin' first world problems..hate 'em
Bro which ultrawide monitor brand would you suggest me? Lg or Samsung?
Can you review LG's 34WK95U-W please? It is only 60Hz which is a problem for high end games, but maybe you can show us what it looks like with games and with both 16:9 and 21:9 4K movies and just for normal business use.
