knowledgeable, concise overview. Good job! - I’ve purchased one for video and audio production and post production work. Excellent for both applications. There are few alternatives in ultra-widescreen 5120 resolution monitors, and most other brands do not provide USB-C power for MacBook Pro like LG does. Sounds trite - but charging power provided by the monitor thru the USB-C connection is a huge convenience. It also frees up more ports on the Mac for drives, controllers, audio interface, and software USB keys. The monitor is expensive but worth it for professional applications.

UPDATE, completely got used to it and don't really notice pixelated texts anymore by using a monitor arm that increases the distance between me and the monitor to even larger than one arm. The feeling of "immersiveness" is incomparable, and the wide screen gives so much screen real estate that I feel like I am watching a landscape painting with everything layed out in front of me instead of a crowded monitor window. I 100000% recommend this beauty versus non-ultrawide single/dual monitors. Plus you'll have a super clean desktop with fewer cables. ===== _Not a professional, just my 2 cents here._ I just got mine this week. Using 2560*1440 resolution at about one arm's distance - which is a bit large but it's default scaling according to settings - I do notice that texts are a bit pixelated (but not blurred), compared to my old 24" 4K Dell monitor (140ppi vs 180ppi), and I am slightly nearsighted with mild astigmatism. Ofc then probably nothing can be compared with the 254 ppi Macbook Pro M1. So I feel like it's a waste if I store away my mac and using only the ultrawide screen, since I don't want a dual monitor setting anymore, and that's why I bought this monitor in the first place... I never tried the studio display but perhaps would drop by apple store one day to see the difference, but in no way would buy bc of the price. This monitor has a similar ppi to a 32" 4K (essentially it's a wider 32" 4K), and if you really want sharper resolution and not-so-small screen size your best bet is probably a 27" 4K (Around 163 ppi and they used to say it's the best size for 4K. Only $300+ on Amazon nowadays, altho 20 ppi isn't that big of a difference). But I feel like if I simply upgrade from a 24" to a 27" would be ...not upgrading at all lol. And if you want to follow the golden rule of "220ppi for retina and 110ppi for non-retina macs", opt for a 27" 5K monitor (218ppi, pricey, don't think it was worth it at all considering the size), or a Pro Display XDR (32" 6K at 218ppi, nice size but way too pricey). Ultimately it's a balance among resolution, price, screen real estate, and your work style. So I guess I will wait and see which one is more important for me😥I don't game or edit photos/videos, just a normal daily productivity user + light programming at work.

Considering getting this monitor to have a much sharper high resolution UW with more screen real estate, I honestly don't game much so this would be primarily productivity. Even considering pairing it with the DualUp monitor as my 9-5 I use lots of programs and windows so the xtra real estate is vital.

Can you describe this setup more and how it’s working for you so far?
@WorldReserveCurrency
Жыл бұрын
@@WillTung Of course! So far it's been a great monitor. My vision isn't so great so this monitor with 142 PPI definitely is an improvement all the other monitors which typically have a pixel density of 110 PPI. This does however mean that at 2K things are a bit smaller and with more screen real estate. With my bad eyes, I run it at 1440 vertical resolution which is the equivalent of other monitors. At this resolution things are definitely more crisp. Not Apple Studio monitor crisp but better than others. In my current setup I have a Cable Matters 4 port USB 3.0 Switch Hub (has 4 buttons to change keyboard source, 60 bucks on Amazon). My computer setup is: 1. Thunderbolt Port - I have a work Macbook Pro connected to the Thunderbolt port. The USB 3.0 hub on the monitor are active for only the Thunderbolt port. One of the USB 3.0 ports on the monitor is connected to Port 1 of the Switch Hub. In this configuration, I only have one cable between the Macbook Pro and the monitor. 2. Display Port - There's only one DP and that's connected to my work Unbuntu machine. The Switch Hub Port 2 also connects to the Ubuntu machine. 3. HDMI Port - There's two HDMI ports and one of them is connected to my personal Windows machine. The Switch Hub Port 3 connects to the Windows machine. My Microsoft Sculpt keyboard and old Logitech Performance mouse is connected to the front USB ports on the Cable Matters 4 Port Switch Hub. That leaves two USB ports open. I only use one for my Jabra headset for meetings. With this setup I just press the Switch Hub to activate the machine I want active. If the machine was a sleep and then wakes then I get a notification on the monitor if I want to switch monitor source. If not, I manually change it. So at most a two step process. It would have been nice if they had a separate button on the monitor for source selection/cycle, but it's not a big bother for me. I really appreciate the speakers on the monitor. The monitor has a speaker port but I connect my external speakers to my Windows machine only for when I want to play music during off work hours. I use the speakers on the monitor for Slack and gmail alerts for work. And I manually connect my headset to the Switch Hub only for meetings. I work mainly using the center of the monitor and have Slack, Gmail, and Code IDE off to the side and move them to the center if I need too. This is my first ultra wide and just love having alll the space especially in the center. I've been fine with the contrast and the picture is great. I don't game at all. I think the price is justified given you're really paying for 30% more pixels (142 vs 110 PPI). Hope this helps.

If I want to connect the Mac to Thunderbolt and the PC to DisplayPort, and my Mouse/Keyboard to the USB-A ports, I know that the Mac will register the peripherals (via TB), but for the PC, how can I get it to register the peripherals? Can the 2nd Thunderbolt port be used as downstream via a USB-C to USB-A cable to the PC? If so, if I have both computers/inputs plugged in and turned on, but only one input selected (let’s say DisplayPort for the PC), will it know to downstream the peripherals via the 2nd Thunderbolt port (to the PC), and not via the 1st Thunderbolt port (to the Mac)?

Hey Midas, how have you found going from 34 to 40? I'm looking at going UW, 34, but it look like you don't get the true value of using an UW unless you start around 38/40 inches. (*but look like it will be fine most likely) If space wasn't an issue, do you find productivity wise and overall, to go a 38/40 inch? *mainly using it for music production, and some multitasking.
@techbymidas
2 жыл бұрын
Hey man! I've been loving the additional screen real estate. 34 just never felt big enough and I've never liked 49 inches due to too much neck twisting. 40 inch has so far been the sweet spot for my video editing work. With music production, I'm sure you have long timelines too and so you might benefit from a 40 over a 34 inch UW.

Thanks for the follow-up comment. My interest was piqued when the video mentioned the 34" monitor because there are so few 5k ultrawides available, and I'm especially interested in how they compare. (I know there are other 40" 5k monitors out this year, but they all use the same panel so it's the same thing but not quite as nice as the LG version.)
