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?
As a developer, i have 5 windows side by side on my 32:9 super ultra wide monitor: slack, chrome, vscode, postman and a database client open at the same time. I love it!
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.
I'm using a 43" flat 4k Dell monitor. It gives enough real estate and also sufficiently large pixel pitch that I can read text at 100% scaling. I don't like curve monitors, they may be good for gaming but not for software development.
@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.
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.
Watch out for the scaling issue with Macs, it only handles 110ppi or 220ppi without having to use the GPU to scale. 4k is a no no. Only 1440p and 5k work well
For what it's worth, if you use a Mac and a PC you can use Logitech Flow and a compatible keyboard and mouse. It allows you to use one keyboard and one mouse between multiple computers. When you move the mouse pointer from one to the other it's moves the keyboard as well.
I've been using a 29" LG ultrawide (flat) for several years and I've always liked the ability to view two documents side-by-side. I tuck my desktop speakers behind the monitor and there's no noticeable loss in sound quality, at least to my old ears. And it's great for gaming.
@bryans8656 that's the exact screen I'm planning to buy. Lg 29inch . Question- does 2560*1080 {94 ppi} shows pixelated text? Comfortable reading documents for all day long? Any online tool that can give me the experience?
Monitors are likely the longest lasting computer peripheral you can get. Don't skimp on it. Mine is still in use for over 7 years now (38UC99). It was expensive at the time, yes, but it still feels like it can be used for 10 more years. The form factor is great for movies, gaming, and multitasking.
I've owned sooooo many ultrawides ranging from 34" (too small) to 49" (too wide/narrow). The sweet spot for me is 38" 3840 x 1600 (typically LG panels).
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.
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
Good video, i went back from a 34 curved to a 32 flat, much prefer the flat and i get more performance as well because the 1440p has about 1/3 less pixels to drive than the curved UW.
Nothing to lose on a 21:9 you can crop the resolution and still go for 16:9 if the game force you or try things like 18:9 if you don't like going extreme and keep UI on game closer.
I’ve been on an ultrawide for almost 10 years now, I’m toying with it the idea of going to a flat 4k+ display but I’m just so used to this wideness i can’t decide
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 found my flat 34” budget Ultrawide felt really weird to me as I came from a 32” curved 1080p monitor, it seemed to ‘curve’ away! I am used to it mostly now, but my next upgrade will be a curved Ultrawide, maybe bigger, I quite like the 1440p res on it so that’s undecided. Definitely want inbuilt dock though!
They are cheap now, SAMSUNG S50GC just $249 on newegg, cheaper than a smaller monitor, but with much better view: 34" 3440 x 1440 WQHD, VA, 3-Side Bezeless, FreeSync, 100Hz, HDR10, 21:9 Wide, Game Mode gaming monitor
I went from dual 24" 1080p monitors to a 27" 1440p monitor and that took some getting used to. I'm now thinking about going dual 27" 1440p or one single 34" ultra wide 1440p monitor. I'm stuck right now on this decision.
@@jadmurr7883 I ended up sticking with the 27" for the higher pixel density since going larger would give less @ 1440p anyway. I just upgraded to a 240hz refresh rate.
I just switched from 27" 4k to a 38" UW (LG 38wr85qc-w). It took some time to adjust honestly, but I start to like it. I have a big table though (180x80) and I'm using a monitor arm which allows me to gain additional place.
I want to try a 34" ultra-wide monitor because of work. I work online from home as a customer service representative, seller, and website admin for 11 hours a day. My usual setup includes 3 WhatsApp accounts (2 in different browsers and 1 in the app), Telegram, 2 Chrome tabs open at the same time, a seller app, our website with the admin page, and one more Chrome tab for TH-cam so I don’t get bored. Right now, I’m using a dual monitor setup with two 24" screens, but it still feels crowded, which is why I want to try one ultra-wide and one 27" monitor.
I’ve had the LG 49” for almost 2 years now & I love it but there is three major flaws. It only has one USB C port. 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.
@@-Divertissement if you only intend to use one computer then it’s pretty good. Main issue is full screen video on Mac will have black sidebars unless you full screen two windows.
@@adama3231 thank you for your response, after 1 year, are you still satisfied? I would like to use it for calibration and video editing but I'm hesitant, are 5K really there? or I have to take 2 screens to be able to have good quality
An ultrawide on a full motion monitor arm is my current setup and it is awesome! Especially since my monitor effectively works as a one cord USB C hub that powers my laptop.
Ultrawide I really think you want 5k2k to actually get value from the aspect ratio and total physical size. Even at 4k, and certainly down at 1440p you're not benefiting a huge way and just getting a lower density the bigger you go.
I think one thing you are missing is that people will be looking for a single monitor that works both as their work monitor and also as their gaming monitor. Which ones are good at both these areas?
Ones like Dell S3423DWC or the Philips 346B1C both have a KVM switch meaning it can be plugged into my work laptop (usb C) or my desktop (DP + USB), and the screens are a good balance at 100Hz without paying through the nose for either gaming FPS or perfect colour accuracy for work. 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.
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've had an oled tv as my main monitor for two years now and it's been great. Whenever I eventually upgrade, I might downsize to an ultrawide. Also, I feel like most people don't start out with an ultrawide and they'll end up keeping their old monitor, so a lot of benefits you get with an ultrawide are solved with the extra monitor.
I really love the idea of having an ultrawide monitor, but now I am using iMac 27 2020 + Dell 24" Ultrasharp, and now I'm wondering, will this ultrawide monitor be almost the same retina quality that I am used to?
I can’t image what if your room equipped with our special chair workstation recline cockpit for multi screens …. Adding not only interesting points but also much more comfortable and more impressive and immersive…
Install some cheap IKEA Shelf above your monitor and mount speakers underneath it. On top of the shelf you can place your Notebook and boom your space issue is fixed now. Additionally I like some plants on the shelf too. Looks way better and is way more functional, nobody uses all that wall real estate for some reason.
Dang, dude, your corny jokes made me think your video was going to be typical or just another review. But you put a lot of thought and logic into this. Your year of experience shows. Personally, I think a 34" ultrawide with a secondary monitor like the LG DualUp will solve a lot of people's vertical space issues. Thank you for the fantastic analysis.
I use 29in 21:9 + 24in 16:9 next to each other. Both 1080p. I would not want anything different. 1440p 21:9 would destroy my GPU in Games. I would need to upgrade my whole System (i7 8700 + RX6600) if i would buy a 34in 1440p. I will never go back to 16:9 as Main Monitor / Videogame Monitor. It is what i always wanted and i love it. Maybe not for everyone because i have to tinker with games here and there. Mostly older games. But thats what i like. 32:9 would be a dream for me.
hi - i have a hp desktop with the i7-8700 and need a video card so i'm glad i see your comment - would you advise I get an rx6600? thanks! or is there another if you didn't have the rx6600 that would be better? i just checked ebay and i see used ones for about 150 ish $ - do you advise steering clear of used ones because of mileage :) - do video cards get used up?
@@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.
@@mynickisalreadytaken Hi, thanks for the reply - i'm using a HP midsize desktop envy and I think just a regular size pci-e 16 would work, definitely not the rx6800 - looking into prices and capabilities of computers as i realize this hp is now 5 years maybe 6 years old now - looking at ebay i'm amazed at how inexpensive top of the line gear is now from a few years ago - not sure if i want to buy the 6600 or 6700 - i might find a whole computer with the card for barely more than what they're selling cards for - it led me to the all-in-one HP Dell and Lenovo's - 4k screens, 32gb, ssd, touch, oled, 27 to 34" - going for 500 ish and i7 7th gen like the 7700 they're practically giving them away - $100-125 16gb, 24-27" hi-res fhd or better, touch or not, - basically preventing them from going to landfills - that's preposterous -- some of these things were thousands just a short few years ago - i've found a new notebook as i had to get something fairly current - lenovo i9-13905h with 32gb 6400mhz 16" 32x20 touch , rtx4060 6gb, 1tb nvme , for 1050$ - wanted that LG gram for the lightness 17" but couldn't find those ram/vid setups until $1700 or more -
Thanks for the review, I say that I'm ready to get an ultra wide monitor, and yet I still have not. You have provided some good insights, and points as to why I should get off the fence and complete my purchase. Again, thanks, and God bless.
I've been using an ultrawide for roughly 5-6 years. I don't feel like it's a game changer as much as other people say it is. I know every individual is different, but for me personally, it's more about how spaces are allocated rather than how big and wide the screen is.
@@donkey1271 Yeah! This is a very personal experience! I typically use Rectangle for windows snapping, but I also have free floating windows as well. Some people aren't comfortable with than 2 windows open at once while I typically have like 2-8 windows open depending on the task and the size of my monitors (sometimes I am stuck with just the macbook of course).
Please, recommend monitor for using 2 laptops (mac and windows) simultaneously (pip/kvm). Not very curved, with high rez, not for gaming, but great picture still
My hesitation to go ultrawide is because when someone with an ultrawide monitor does a screensharing with me via MS Teams, it doesn’t fit very well on my standard 16:9 monitor. And I dont want anyone to suffer that same experience.
I just got this exact monitor about 6 weeks ago, along with a new Mac Mini M2 Pro 32GB, this setup rocks! 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!
@@ItsAleqo Yes, the LG 40WP95C-W 40 is a great monitor, ive been using it for several months now. no problems!, especially for productivity apps. i will never go back to a smaller display
@@davem3325 hi, I have a mac studio M2 32gb, I wanted to buy the LG ultrawide 45 or 49 for video editing and calibration , so do you advise against it? If not, which one should I buy in ultrawide? THANKS
Have been using LGs 42" ultrawide of over 2 years now. As a developer that works primarily from home, I wouldn't switch the setup for any thing else IMHO. A pure pleasure to work on.
I have three monitor now, but for home I am considering to set-up a dual monitor. What's do you think? Is better two monitor or a widescreen? And will be cheaper to have a wide screen instead of two monitors?
Used dell 38” ultra wide curved, what a ugly impractical monster. I couldn’t find a 24” 4k. I settled for the u2723qe, what a beauty. Still bigger than what I wanted
Thank you for this cool video. 😃 I have a use-case: I want 4 Apps to be open side-by-side while I am recording two of them. In particular, Notes App, Browser Windows and Vs code are the apps. I want to screen record the browser and vs code. Would you suggest the ultra wide monitor for this use-case? 🙏
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 TH-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 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.
I just want a frameless monitor the size of my two 27" combined. You can even give it two feet/stands instead of those often clunky stands that curved ultra-wides often have. And maybe an option to add 5cm to the height.
Hey there can you advise? I need a monitor for home working (I'm not a gamer). The 45GR95QE's screen height is perfect at 454.66mm but I need something slightly wider than 993.14mm ideally around 1200mm like the Samsung G9. Problem with the G9 is the height is only 365mm which isn't suitable. Is there such a curved monitor out there? The Odyssey Arc 55' is too expensive. Thanks.
I am study data science and I bought a Samsung 49inch screen. I don't liket because everything I work with don't look sharp. I have to zoom in to get better sharpness
i went for non curved as many ppl mentioned it takes a lil time for the brain to adjust. with alternating daily from WFH to the office (flat screen) , i didn't want to have a seizure :P
Cool monitor, I like a simple set up, not getting caught up in too much tech.. I find it does the opposite as far as being creative. Keep the focus on being creative and not gear
Hello, what splitter you use for display image from your mac book? i have a monitor samsung g5 odissey with 3440*1440 resolution and i want a splitter hdmi
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.
My new favorite setup is a dualup + 27" 1440p. It looks weird and takes a bit of getting used to but now that I have it works really well for my workflow. 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.
you need your ultra wide on a monitor arm , that way you can have it higher , i think for me i like to sit straight in front in the monitor and my eyes should be level with the middle of the screen , most people look down ? you would also have plenty of room underneath then , i had 38 ich ultragear and have kef lsx2 speakers underneath no problem , 38 is my fav size before they get silly , have moved down to 34 last week as wanted oled , i have the samsung g8 oled now , would have loved it had it been 38 though , oled is another level for monitors
Only real issue I have with ultra wide is a lot of games don’t support it. You get the black bars on some newer titles, having to use a mod for some titles in order to use the full space of the display. That’s my only issue, still to this day a lot of titles don’t support it despite the popularity of them. The first two examples that come to mind are Elden Ring and I believe it’s Diablo 2 remake, I can’t remember if D4 supports it
the majority of games wont support ultrawide for sometime, think they meant to be used for productivity , fitting more windows in one without the bazzzle and not gaming, rather buy dedicated gaming monitors. a 49"" ultrawide is just an akward ratio to be gaming on in general as well as watching elongated tv on this will never be a good idea for games and tv that is..
@@xfixe8702 if you think of it ideally, I suppose. but gaming and watching films on an ultra is extremely cinematic. and definitely feels amazing. I recently switched back to a 16:9 monitor due to my ultrawide not supporting Gsync. however, I do plan on get a more feature rich gaming ultrawide to make up for that.
95% of games made past 2019 ive played(i have every subscription & over 200 games on steam) all support ultrawide esp games made after 2019-20 besides resident evil 7,er, & valorant(csgo does), only issue is i wish every yt vid was uw@@xfixe8702

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.
Did you try FancyZones?
Look into FancyZones! Using it on my 42" LG C2 and 38" ultrawide, and it's a productivity lifesaver.
can't you just drag the window to each side?
I'm using a 43" flat 4k Dell monitor. It gives enough real estate and also sufficiently large pixel pitch that I can read text at 100% scaling. I don't like curve monitors, they may be good for gaming but not for software development.
@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.
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.

Watch out for the scaling issue with Macs, it only handles 110ppi or 220ppi without having to use the GPU to scale. 4k is a no no. Only 1440p and 5k work well
For what it's worth, if you use a Mac and a PC you can use Logitech Flow and a compatible keyboard and mouse. It allows you to use one keyboard and one mouse between multiple computers.
When you move the mouse pointer from one to the other it's moves the keyboard as well.

I worked 3 years with a curved ultrawide and i really like it and can recommend it.
I've been using a 29" LG ultrawide (flat) for several years and I've always liked the ability to view two documents side-by-side. I tuck my desktop speakers behind the monitor and there's no noticeable loss in sound quality, at least to my old ears. And it's great for gaming.
You did what with the desktop speakers? *audiophile starts rampaging* 🫠

29 is too narrow
@@fugitive88888 for a single monitor setup, I agree. I got a 32" one recently and I will still use my old 24" one as a vertical monitor next to it
@bryans8656 that's the exact screen I'm planning to buy. Lg 29inch . Question- does 2560*1080 {94 ppi} shows pixelated text? Comfortable reading documents for all day long? Any online tool that can give me the experience?
Monitors are likely the longest lasting computer peripheral you can get. Don't skimp on it. Mine is still in use for over 7 years now (38UC99). It was expensive at the time, yes, but it still feels like it can be used for 10 more years. The form factor is great for movies, gaming, and multitasking.
I've owned sooooo many ultrawides ranging from 34" (too small) to 49" (too wide/narrow). The sweet spot for me is 38" 3840 x 1600 (typically LG panels).
Thank you for this info

Yes it is me, I identify as a girl but only in thumbnail photos. Are you sad that I didn't wear my wig in this video?
and i just realize on 6:41
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.
is 2560*1080 {94 ppi} shows pixelated text? M planning to buy 29inch 21:9. Any online tool that can give me the experience?
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 myself personally prefer 1 huge monitor instead of 2 separate ones... I dunno, it's a question of one whole space in one element, for me.
Good video, i went back from a 34 curved to a 32 flat, much prefer the flat and i get more performance as well because the 1440p has about 1/3 less pixels to drive than the curved UW.
Nothing to lose on a 21:9 you can crop the resolution and still go for 16:9 if the game force you or try things like 18:9 if you don't like going extreme and keep UI on game closer.
I’ve been on an ultrawide for almost 10 years now, I’m toying with it the idea of going to a flat 4k+ display but I’m just so used to this wideness i can’t decide
Been using the aw3423dwf for a few days, and I absolutely love it. You just can't beat the perfect blacks and smooth as butter motion clarity.
Great review. I am totally going UW this fall. For games and future work from home. :)
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 found my flat 34” budget Ultrawide felt really weird to me as I came from a 32” curved 1080p monitor, it seemed to ‘curve’ away! I am used to it mostly now, but my next upgrade will be a curved Ultrawide, maybe bigger, I quite like the 1440p res on it so that’s undecided. Definitely want inbuilt dock though!
exactly my first mistake too, bought an UW cheap monitor, but it's flat. i can't see very well the sides. i guess i need curved

0:34 I „love” these screens with few MacOS apps randomly placed on a half of the screen, saying it’s „productive” 😂
I went from dual 24" 1080p monitors to a 27" 1440p monitor and that took some getting used to. I'm now thinking about going dual 27" 1440p or one single 34" ultra wide 1440p monitor. I'm stuck right now on this decision.
what did you go for?
@@jadmurr7883 I ended up sticking with the 27" for the higher pixel density since going larger would give less @ 1440p anyway. I just upgraded to a 240hz refresh rate.
I just switched from 27" 4k to a 38" UW (LG 38wr85qc-w). It took some time to adjust honestly, but I start to like it. I have a big table though (180x80) and I'm using a monitor arm which allows me to gain additional place.
I want to try a 34" ultra-wide monitor because of work.
I work online from home as a customer service representative, seller, and website admin for 11 hours a day. My usual setup includes 3 WhatsApp accounts (2 in different browsers and 1 in the app), Telegram, 2 Chrome tabs open at the same time, a seller app, our website with the admin page, and one more Chrome tab for TH-cam so I don’t get bored. Right now, I’m using a dual monitor setup with two 24" screens, but it still feels crowded, which is why I want to try one ultra-wide and one 27" monitor.
I’ve had the LG 49” for almost 2 years now & I love it but there is three major flaws. It only has one USB C port. 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.
hi, I have a mac studio M2 32gb, I wanted to buy the LG ultrawide 49, so do you advise against it? If not, which one should I buy in ultrawide? THANKS
@@-Divertissement if you only intend to use one computer then it’s pretty good. Main issue is full screen video on Mac will have black sidebars unless you full screen two windows.
@@adama3231 thank you for your response, after 1 year, are you still satisfied? I would like to use it for calibration and video editing but I'm hesitant, are 5K really there? or I have to take 2 screens to be able to have good quality
An ultrawide on a full motion monitor arm is my current setup and it is awesome! Especially since my monitor effectively works as a one cord USB C hub that powers my laptop.
Good video but more comparisons with a dual monitor setup like desk space and cost would have been good.
Ultrawide I really think you want 5k2k to actually get value from the aspect ratio and total physical size. Even at 4k, and certainly down at 1440p you're not benefiting a huge way and just getting a lower density the bigger you go.
I purchased a Samsung 43” 4k display for less than $400 on Amazon and totally love the display. Can’t beat the price to size ratio.

I think one thing you are missing is that people will be looking for a single monitor that works both as their work monitor and also as their gaming monitor. Which ones are good at both these areas?
Ones like Dell S3423DWC or the Philips 346B1C both have a KVM switch meaning it can be plugged into my work laptop (usb C) or my desktop (DP + USB), and the screens are a good balance at 100Hz without paying through the nose for either gaming FPS or perfect colour accuracy for work. 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.
Yes! Following
I wish you would have shared whether you intend to stick with an ultrawide or go back to your dual monitors setup.
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.
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've had an oled tv as my main monitor for two years now and it's been great. Whenever I eventually upgrade, I might downsize to an ultrawide.
Also, I feel like most people don't start out with an ultrawide and they'll end up keeping their old monitor, so a lot of benefits you get with an ultrawide are solved with the extra monitor.
I really love the idea of having an ultrawide monitor, but now I am using iMac 27 2020 + Dell 24" Ultrasharp, and now I'm wondering, will this ultrawide monitor be almost the same retina quality that I am used to?
I can’t image what if your room equipped with our special chair workstation recline cockpit for multi screens …. Adding not only interesting points but also much more comfortable and more impressive and immersive…
Install some cheap IKEA Shelf above your monitor and mount speakers underneath it. On top of the shelf you can place your Notebook and boom your space issue is fixed now. Additionally I like some plants on the shelf too. Looks way better and is way more functional, nobody uses all that wall real estate for some reason.
What’s the right curvature for work and productivity? Want to switch from 2x 27” to a 34”. 1500, 1800 or flat. Suggestions?
Dang, dude, your corny jokes made me think your video was going to be typical or just another review. But you put a lot of thought and logic into this. Your year of experience shows.
Personally, I think a 34" ultrawide with a secondary monitor like the LG DualUp will solve a lot of people's vertical space issues. Thank you for the fantastic analysis.
I use 29in 21:9 + 24in 16:9 next to each other. Both 1080p. I would not want anything different. 1440p 21:9 would destroy my GPU in Games. I would need to upgrade my whole System (i7 8700 + RX6600) if i would buy a 34in 1440p. I will never go back to 16:9 as Main Monitor / Videogame Monitor. It is what i always wanted and i love it. Maybe not for everyone because i have to tinker with games here and there. Mostly older games. But thats what i like.
32:9 would be a dream for me.
hi - i have a hp desktop with the i7-8700 and need a video card so i'm glad i see your comment - would you advise I get an rx6600? thanks! or is there another if you didn't have the rx6600 that would be better? i just checked ebay and i see used ones for about 150 ish $ - do you advise steering clear of used ones because of mileage :) - do video cards get used up?
@@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.

I've been using an ultrawide for roughly 5-6 years. I don't feel like it's a game changer as much as other people say it is.
I know every individual is different, but for me personally, it's more about how spaces are allocated rather than how big and wide the screen is.
And in my experience, dual monitors are far easier to manage multiple spaces on than a single ultra wide, especially with snapping/scaling.
@@donkey1271 Yeah! This is a very personal experience! I typically use Rectangle for windows snapping, but I also have free floating windows as well.
Some people aren't comfortable with than 2 windows open at once while I typically have like 2-8 windows open depending on the task and the size of my monitors (sometimes I am stuck with just the macbook of course).
@@donkey1271 For sure. I recently got a 32" one and I still need my old monitor in my setup to not hinder my workflow
Please, recommend monitor for using 2 laptops (mac and windows) simultaneously (pip/kvm).
Not very curved, with high rez, not for gaming, but great picture still
I cannot hear”extra few inches” without hearing Michael Scott replying in my head
My hesitation to go ultrawide is because when someone with an ultrawide monitor does a screensharing with me via MS Teams, it doesn’t fit very well on my standard 16:9 monitor. And I dont want anyone to suffer that same experience.
This monitor vs previous 43inch monitor, which you prefer the most and why?
I prefer Ultrawide. I mostly use horizontal space and have no need for vertical space or a huge screen size like 43".
@Created Tech awesome, would love to chat more on this. Could you please update discord link in about section of the channel
At 2:41, your Magnet is showing the option for sixth, which mine doesn't show, do you have an idea why?
I just got this exact monitor about 6 weeks ago, along with a new Mac Mini M2 Pro 32GB, this setup rocks!
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!
Nice same here, I run Mac mini and thinking this monitor, still recommend?

What paint did you use for the wall? Love the undertone 🌿
I like the ultra wide because I can have 3 apps side by side.
I don't like that most (98% ?) are 1440p which makes text not so crisp.
Have been using LGs 42" ultrawide of over 2 years now. As a developer that works primarily from home, I wouldn't switch the setup for any thing else IMHO. A pure pleasure to work on.
I have three monitor now, but for home I am considering to set-up a dual monitor. What's do you think? Is better two monitor or a widescreen? And will be cheaper to have a wide screen instead of two monitors?
What about the radius of curvature ? What would you recommend for architects not for gamers ?
Used dell 38” ultra wide curved, what a ugly impractical monster. I couldn’t find a 24” 4k. I settled for the u2723qe, what a beauty. Still bigger than what I wanted

Is 26 inch 1080p LG monitor ultrawide good for casual work and gaming? or 29 inch is better?
It will be really good if you can make a review Lenovo Legion Y34wz-30, since it is like an all in one monitor - fit for gaming, office, etc.
Where did you get your elevated desk shown at 0:35 please ?
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 TH-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.
Awesome video!!! What monitor would u recommend for use for gaming on my Xbox series X and also to use with me MacBook Air. Thanks again
6:31 ...Can you write the model of the DELL branded monitor?
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.
6 months ago I went from 1 43" 4K TV as a PC monitor to a 34" MSI 21:9 ultrawide and not looked back
I just want a frameless monitor the size of my two 27" combined. You can even give it two feet/stands instead of those often clunky stands that curved ultra-wides often have. And maybe an option to add 5cm to the height.
Hey there can you advise? I need a monitor for home working (I'm not a gamer). The 45GR95QE's screen height is perfect at 454.66mm but I need something slightly wider than 993.14mm ideally around 1200mm like the Samsung G9. Problem with the G9 is the height is only 365mm which isn't suitable. Is there such a curved monitor out there? The Odyssey Arc 55' is too expensive. Thanks.

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.
My new favorite setup is a dualup + 27" 1440p. It looks weird and takes a bit of getting used to but now that I have it works really well for my workflow. 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.
you need your ultra wide on a monitor arm ,
that way you can have it higher , i think for me
i like to sit straight in front in the monitor
and my eyes should be level with the middle of the
screen , most people look down ?
you would also have plenty of room underneath
then , i had 38 ich ultragear and have kef lsx2 speakers underneath
no problem , 38 is my fav size before they get silly ,
have moved down to 34 last week as wanted oled ,
i have the samsung g8 oled now , would have loved it had
it been 38 though , oled is another level for monitors
Only real issue I have with ultra wide is a lot of games don’t support it. You get the black bars on some newer titles, having to use a mod for some titles in order to use the full space of the display. That’s my only issue, still to this day a lot of titles don’t support it despite the popularity of them. The first two examples that come to mind are Elden Ring and I believe it’s Diablo 2 remake, I can’t remember if D4 supports it
the majority of games wont support ultrawide for sometime, think they meant to be used for productivity , fitting more windows in one without the bazzzle and not gaming, rather buy dedicated gaming monitors. a 49"" ultrawide is just an akward ratio to be gaming on in general as well as watching elongated tv on this will never be a good idea for games and tv that is..
D4 supports it.
@@xfixe8702 if you think of it ideally, I suppose. but gaming and watching films on an ultra is extremely cinematic. and definitely feels amazing. I recently switched back to a 16:9 monitor due to my ultrawide not supporting Gsync. however, I do plan on get a more feature rich gaming ultrawide to make up for that.
Other than overwatch and valorant, I have yet to play a game that doesn’t support at least 21:9 if not 32:9.
95% of games made past 2019 ive played(i have every subscription & over 200 games on steam) all support ultrawide esp games made after 2019-20 besides resident evil 7,er, & valorant(csgo does), only issue is i wish every yt vid was uw@@xfixe8702
Do you find the monitor light bar a necessary purchase?
Yes, I use it every day
What model of LG is showed in this video?
1:31 bro can't move the laptop closer a few inches...💀
I've been using dual monitors, sometimes three, for about 25 years, and I'm still on the fence about swirching to ultrawide. Maybe I want dual ultra wide:-)
