- Which format would you choose? Both 21:9 and UHD offer their unique characteristics but is one better than the other? Yes... but that depends on usage.

whenever I watch these "which one is for you" videos I wind up more confused than before
Tell me about it.
Go with the ultra wide
why not both
@@rayweller3704 Yeeeeeh!
😂
I still like my 17" CRT monitor... plus it keeps my room warm as it puts out so much heat. lol
21:9 in 4k at 144hz. Zero compromises
ikr
21:9 would need ~8k to have the same pixel density as a normal 4k screen
No.
You're incorrect.
ultrawide 3440x1440p isn't that far away from 4k. even tho these 25% less pixels do make gaming playable and anyway a lot more enjoyable @21:9
you'd need something like 4500 x 1850 to get the same pixel count as 4k but that is not going to happen
the next step would be 5120 x 2160p uw
our technology cant run 4k on over 60hz
I feel like I want BOTH, Ultrawide for gaming and movies and the option of the 4K when you want greater colour and image accuracy.
UHD for Large format screens (TV home theater) WFHD + freesync for day to day gaming and productivity, lower resolution, higher refresh, easier to fit more stuff on screen at once vs 2 monitors
I just got an ultrawide monitor last week and I gotta say it was the best decision I made in a while. Thank goodness it isn't curved so I can use it for editing without any issues.
I have the 27UD88 and I freaking love it to death. The ultra wide is sick as well but the 4k monitor is just suited better for my needs. Either way both monitors are sick and its a win win regardless of choice. LG is killing the monitor game.
Unfortunately there is no QHD IPS ultrawide monitor available in Brazil at this time. You have to choose 16:9 / 16:10, 4k / QHD... or 21:9 Full HD (and 1080 resolution sucks sometimes... quite low PPI).
As I'm looking for a work/productivity oriented tool, I'll have to sacrifice one to be able to get the other feature.
So i guess I'll have to buy the Dell UP2716D and maybe in the future add another one like it side by side if find it necessary.
Best video I've seen so far on this topic. Thanks!
Great vid man! It answered a qurstion that has been in my head for weeks. WQHD is going to be for me working in unity needing screen real estate and also gaming with more hz!!
I wish a UHD ultrawide existed.
Personally id go ultra widescreen since my GFX card isnt that great and id rather have 2x widescreen than 2x 4ks. Not sure, im gaming at 1080p and its fine for me right now :D
On the argument of there being no 21:16 monitor; Just going by measurements of aspect ratios (21:16 being 12 inch by 16 inch) a 4:3 monitor would be close with only 1/4" missing from the vertical space. Or 26.400758" (21:16) compared to 26.250000" (4:3) with the exact same horizontal space.
I'm sure someone out there still makes high res 4:3 monitors.
If not, get three the thinnest bezel 16:9 monitors in portrait mode and have 27:16. Which in comparison gives you 6 extra inches of horizontal workspace as compared to 21:16, if measurements were on a 1:1 ratio with the aspect ratio; and does the same to 4:3 when you scale it up to the size of 21:16. On a diagonal measurement, 27:16 would be 31.384710".
Based off the 27:16, it is only 1.111456" larger on the horizontal measurement, or 0.686918" smaller on the vertical measurement, from the golden section, which I think has been argued to be the best aspect ratio for monitors.
Really professional video. Subscribed!
+Brooks Howell awesome :) welcome!
10 minutes you speak about the wider screen, but what you overlook is that you need to stay in the same position in front of that very wide screen you cant move too much as it only useful what you are dead on, its good for 2 windows side by side, so is 16:9 aspect. You waisted 10 minutes for something that can be explained in 3 lines
Your video is so white I paused it and used it to clean out the dusty spots on my monitor
😂😂
Andrew Tin tell me abt it. I'm watching this at 3 am, my roommate just woke up to tell me turn off the lights.
Lmao
thats so funny but still dont understand what you guys are talking about
ohhh
so i can say that my monitor is ok
thank you
This is the hardest life altering decision I ever have to make.
I'd hardly call 1080p (roughly 7 years ago) "ancient"
it's more than 7 years at this point.. they started coming out in like 2008. 9-10 years is approaching a decade. Which would be ancient..
you make me fell in vanguard all the time since 2005... i got my 1080 in 2009 and got my ultra wide in 203 or 2014 i really don't remember correctly... but i feel i get some monitor vanguard stuffs xD
I wouldn't call it ancient ether because it's newer than the Xbox 360 and yet that's old but no body ever calls that ancient with one exception (the rich boy that's gets every thing before it releases)😂😂😂
1080p 144hz
Ez
My head says go 4k, my heart says go 21:9.
My wallet says go fuck yourself :'(
Go for 21:9.
Your eyes will enjoy it more.
@@craftedinddd BRO! 😂
@@campelodemagalhaes 4k is a lot more enjoyable for the eyes but it's really hard to run in games and scaling is not as easy for windows as it should be to use it quite fluid. Even a RTX 2080 Super is not able to run games from 2018 on more than 60 fps.
i bought both. lived with only 4k 27" ips for 4 years, its really great. one minus - 60 hz. just for new impressions im getting xiaomi 34 3500\1440 VA. its super cheap, 400 usd, cheaper than my 4k (550 usd or so).
please start making your videos in 21:9 as a 21:9 UHD monitor owner
Definitely. I love coming across 21:9 content. looks amazing on my ultrawide
the audience is not large enough to make it worth
Tell that to the movie industry
get a 4k as wide as the 21 by 9
TH-cam doesn't support 21/9 unfortunately, you'll have the black bars on all 4 side of the screen :/
Dimitri... everytime I watch one of your videos I can't stop smiling at how damn good the video quality is. From the audio to colour correction to shot perspectives its just utterly enjoyable. Keep up the great work my man!
+Kyle Hartzenberg happy to hear :)
I agree. More youtubers need to consider cinematography.
For actual every day use, ultra wide. Even for video or photo editing. For porn, 4k.
If your fetish is the root of the hair, for example.
nenadcvele Or the hair on the girls foot.
for actual everyday use: 3:2 or 4:3(around 5k resolution, of course).
for videogames: ultrawide
What if my every day use is porn? Hmmm

Uhm, you mean "first world problems"?
hahahah
Uhm, you mean "first world rich people problems"?

I love ultrawides
Same here
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.
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.
Yeah my girlfriend prefers ultrawides to ultralongs.
same with my girl, i picked her up in a shoe store when she heard me ask for 4 E width sneakers.
I pick the 21:9 i don't know why but it attracts me xD xD xD
because it's not mainstream, at least for me. i've never met someone with a monitor like that IRL.
i love my ultra wide
it's immersive
21:9 all day. i have both i dont even look at the 4k screen
I like your comment ...all respect
21:9 for sure. love it so much. I found 4k resolution a bit useless as lots of applications don't have a nice way to scale the UI for it so things were too small
Well... squad? Hope you enjoy the video :D Full review on sexy UltraWide goodness here: th-cam.com/video/00PBeWTJbb0/w-d-xo.html
Hmmmm? Hmmmmm....
why should we choose? we will all buy 4k 21/9
I bought my Acer X34 gsync monitor a few months ago, and I absolutely fell in love with it before I even powered it on. Just pulling it out of the box was a breath taking experience, I knew I was in for a treat. Skyrim, World of Warcraft, DOOM, and GTA 5 are just so immersive! I recommend it to anyone who's a gamer. TH-cam black bars still bug me, but not too much. I hope more media comes out in native 21:9, as finding movies is a little more bothersome than id like. Unless im looking in the wrong place, any suggestions? :D
I went on a rant, sorry. Great video HWC! keep up the great work :)
+Jonathan Sporrong meh not worth the double price compared to the dell overclockable 85Mhz alternative
Until LG offers a 120hz + 21:9, Ill save my money.
save your money for a gpu that can run new games 120 fps.minimum on 3440x1440 max settings so ....wait for 5 years good luck.
+Mpamphs Kangourosaurous The new Titan is supposed to be 50% more powerful than the 1080. If so, that should do.
And the 1080ti will launch a couple months after that, so just hold on to your panties.
+Mpamphs Kangourosaurous 1080ti SLI
+James D I have 2 1080s now and even a single 1080 runs my Benq 1440, 144hz pretty good. I get over 100 frames in many games. If Nvidia can get 25% more power out of the Titan or the Ti, then I think ultra wide will be viable.
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
Yeah that's what i started doing as well! Productivity boost while watching movies :OOO
As a video editor my 34" LG is an essential component to that. I could not live without now.
jup going for an ultrawide monitor was the best tech decision i made in a while. simply loving it :D
me to and I personally love it
i just went for 3 24 inch monitors...
The real question is "where can i find a high-salary job so i can buy either one of them?" (I like the 21:9)
invest in Bitcoin
Learn to code lmao
Do an honest day work
1080p 144hz is still best until ultrawide 144hz 1440p comes out
1440p 144hz has been a thing for quite a long time.
+The Cheshire Cat not ultrawide tho
Captain Asteroid Ah I missed that, whoops. Closest is 100hz IIRC
[Redacted]
LinusMLGTips That monitor is $1000 I can buy a 4k tv with that price
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.
SOLD!
A watercooled 1080Ti is fine for 4K. :)
yah and in SLI even better
No, a watercooled 1080Ti is not enough to drive games in ultra at high framerates in 4k. I own a 1080Ti with a 3440x1440@100Hz Monitor. This Graphics card is not powerful enough for that res either.
im not sure about garenteed performance out of the box this may be just a case in overclocking but, maybe you lost the silicone lottery?
love my 34inch curved LG ultrawide. woudnt wanna go back to 16:9
As for curved lines. i havent had any issues with such a thing, and im a professional 3d artist and I use this curved ultrawide monitor as my work and gaming monitor. The curve is barely even noticeable.
I've heard some people say the exact opposite which brings me to a conclusion, it really depends on personal preference. The trouble is, I like both but watching 16:9 on ultrawide is pretty annoying, not gonna lie. Watching 21:9 on 16:9 however, is not so bad because everyone's used to seeing the horizontal black bars.
Why not both 👀
You don't need a flat monitor to do 3D.. your not supposed to draw lines in a perspective view ( only top, or side)
Good luck with ghat
🤣🤣🤣what!?
What about shift?
Easy choice! 1080p 16:9 144Hz !
Yes
thats what im rocking
affordable 144hz panels are a joke because you're paying for a TN panel. A quality 144hz panel with a proper IPS display costs as much as one of these options. Educate yourself on the products you praise before you say anything.
a better choice would be two monitors a 1080p 144 hz for games that need that high refresh rate and a 4K 60 Hz for other games because both monitors maybe cheaper than a 4K 100 hz if it happens to exist anytime soon
+Ian Benedict Thank you...
21:9 is the future!
3:2 is the future. wider is the wrong way to go, taller is much better for productive tasks
lusteraliaszero Yuck.. who wants to be productive in this world... Just to earn money. Gaming/ Movies/ Editing... better in 21:9
Not everyone can just sit and play video games all day.
also, more productive = better games getting produced
And no, editing isn't better in 21:9
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?
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

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.
Why not a 4k ultrawide monitor?
doesn't really exist
Yet...
Dell's UltraSharp U3415W is consumer 4K, ultrawide and curved. Amazing monitor, albeit quite expensive.
1440p isn't 4k though
True, true. Bummer. :/
I would like to see a 21:9 display with 2160p with 75Hz. That would be great for me.
You found it?
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.
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.
You look like starlord

Honestly just waiting for the tech to mature before I go 4k monitor, definitively want/wait for the high refresh rates for gaming at 4k or 5k res. Watching movies is pretty insane experience which is always a bonus.
Thank you. :)
But I like having both my kidneys... I'm gonna have to wait for AMD to bring GPU prices down before either one of these is viable.
I went with the 34" LG 21:9 ultra wide screen, and on some game you can expand your field of view giving you an advantage. Love this thing!

*Which one would you choose?*
Me: I would choose to have mercy on my wallet
You should try Windows on a 32" or even 40" UHD monitor at 100% scaling... It's like having 4x 1080p screens stuck together :)

Why choose ultrawide, when you can choose a big 4K monitor that is ultrawide + ultratall.
Sometimes it’s about the aspect ratio
The Secret: Go for both at the same time. You will feel relief.
Lol true
-D.
why no aib gtx 1070 review ?
16/9 ratio screens looks primitive like 80"s tv set
Thank you. This was very helpful for me.
You do know that 21:9 and 4K are not mutually exclusive categories, right?
Meh 4K is wasted on a 27" screen. I honestly think anything under 40" for 4K is a waste. Real estate > smoothness. Pixels are more usable if they are bigger.
I wonder if a "budget" 4K TV (for strictly non-gaming if refresh rates aren't up to par) would actually make more sense and be a better value for a wall mount setup or something weird/awesome
I don’t I have to read a lot of text on my monitor and I had a 1080P screen text is awful to look at 1080P even at 23 inches. For video 4K on a 27 inch won’t be that big of a difference but text is a different story.
that beginning suave feeling was ruined by the ad.
Fuck it buy both
*starting my thesis, so I need ultra wide*
a very misleading comparison. Ur comparing ratio to resolution size.
You look like the mush of guardians of the galaxy haha
a budget gaurdian of galaxy
The answer is get both.
21:9 8k 240hz micro-LED. Then I'll rest happy.
for gaming i do not recomend the ultrawide, many games doesent have suport for it
In a triple monitor setup with two portrait monitors flanking my central 32" monitor, I'd have to go standard 16:9 otherwise the portrait monitors would be too far away to be usable.
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.
What about ultrawide 4k?
Es muy difícil usar el 4k en un monitor tan grande.
4:3 the best evolution
Dimitri, could you revisit this in 2022?
Thanks
Now in '23 HDR 10 is must have, no compromise
+HardwareCanucks where did u get those wallpapers
What about an UltraWide 4K Monitor?
not available now, the mainstream 21:9 UltraWide is 3440*1440px, it acctually is a 1440P(2K) monitor, I hope LG can realease real UltraWide 4K Monitor asap, though my GPU can't play game on 4K fluently lol
王良睿 lol what? LG has a 5k 2k monitor that’s 21:9
21:9 for sure...
the problem with 21:9 is content is still not ready for that format
I went to 3440x1440 Curved from a 27in 4k. Love it, much easier on my eyes and better for gaming.
there is really no "choice". I bought an ultra-wide for work, then I tried to play on it and everything became clear - 16/9 is not needed
asking "UltraWide 21:9 vs UHD 4K" makes as much sense as asking "Intel vs hot-tub"
bruh
I've had my 34" LG 34UM67 Ultrawide 2560x1080 monitor for a year now. Never going back to 16:9 monitors. 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. You won't be dissapointed if you go 21:9 ultrawide.
Isn't 34" tooooo damn big for a 1080p res?
no, games looks great at this resolution. I can understand 1440p looks better, but for the money 21:9 1080p monitors are very good.
Ruben Theunis a 21:9 34 inch isnt the same as a 16:9 34” inch so no not really
The screens in 21/9 and 34 inches have a height of 25 "and a large width but curved it is immersive there are screens this year in 3440x1440
I am not worried about 29 "21/9
desktop or gaming to date pixel as he says by ignorant.
I have had a 29-inch 1080p ultrawide and I must tell you that maybe in gaming you don't notice the difference, but to read it does show, you need more clarity, especially for someone like me who watches IDE's and encodes most of the day.
Imagine this video made from 7 years ago
6:54 lol
I am at this point and need to make decision but it's hard to choose. 21:9 is nice for work and study. While uhd is better for media consumption and probably works better with gaming consoles.

Ultrawide for sure. 4k vs. 1440p is hard to discern a difference from reasonable viewing differences, plus the UW gives you so much more real estate
Great video Demitri, I've only recently bought the BenQ GW2765HT and created a full review, however I am starting to consider getting a 21:9 and selling the BenQ. Hmm decisions. I edit a lot for my videos so 21:9 would be good. Not sure I'd get as annoyed about the lines. But I understand exactly what you mean.
+Jack's Gadgets after a while you get used to the curve, but if you can get a flat UltraWide I would.
+HardwareCanucks thanks for the reply, see I would but I've not found any flat 21:9's in the 34" range :(

I got the 29" model on Friday, and I'm loving it. Just to clear up one thing. The 75hz refresh rate is recommended on lower settings. But i got mine on Native through Nvidia Controls.
Thanks for the link, although I'd probably want higher res at 29" or more. Especially as I'd be coming from a 2560x1440
Jack's Gadgets Yea, those will be hard to find not curved.
now that I've gone to 120hz ultra-wide g-sync 1440p monitor, i will never go back to 16:9
Movies that use the full res of a 21:9 monitor make you feel like you're at the movies.
It seems here most people only think of a high end machine and a monitor either for gaming or for video editing... This is so ridiculous, there are more uses for a PC. I am a translator and work on editing and proofreading documents-- Ultrawide 21:9 is the best one for these kinds of tasks. But people apparently forgot there are other uses to a PC than just gaming, photo editing or video editing.
