Is bigger better? Or is how you use it more important? Let’s take the extra few (horizontal) inches that an Ultrawide provide and see how it impacts real-world usage over an entire year.

    you still cannot open aftereffects and a filebrowser window or video turorial at the same time though.. dual 16:9 is still better and only half the price at same specs

    What is the name of the screen please and I need 2k price

  4. @memento316 on December 16, 2024 at 7:36 pm

    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?

    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 paint did you use for the wall? Love the undertone 🌿

  8. @tomarbuz2494 on December 16, 2024 at 7:39 pm

    great video thanks for the info, they are still too expensive for my budget I will stick to two 24 inch monitors.

  9. @T1Oracle on December 16, 2024 at 7:39 pm

    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.

    Hey man, I love your channel.
    Quick question if I may, more out of curiosity: what lens did you use at 5:55 for the POV-like angles?
    great video btw.

    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

  23. @anton_bichan on December 16, 2024 at 8:00 pm

    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

  25. @WaqarAslam2000 on December 16, 2024 at 8:01 pm

    The monitor shown in the video (the one you used) is it 34 inches or 40 inches?

  26. @RockTheCage55 on December 16, 2024 at 8:02 pm

    I have a 34 uw monitor & I’m going back to dual monitors. I’m primarily a programmer & then a trader. No matter what monitor management solution use it isn’t the same

  27. @tiamzy on December 16, 2024 at 8:05 pm

    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.

  28. @Tiebreak14 on December 16, 2024 at 8:05 pm

    What’s the right curvature for work and productivity? Want to switch from 2x 27” to a 34”. 1500, 1800 or flat. Suggestions?

  29. @creativeconnection4U on December 16, 2024 at 8:07 pm

    Haha you used the exact same title as the other guy. Are you using VidIQ to help you pick?

  30. @manueldarmanin1 on December 16, 2024 at 8:08 pm

    What about the radius of curvature ? What would you recommend for architects not for gamers ?

  31. @Firelegs101 on December 16, 2024 at 8:08 pm

    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.

    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? 🙏

  40. @shinobimaster4013 on December 16, 2024 at 8:17 pm

    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 YouTube 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.

    Have been using an ultra wide for 5 years. If you feel like you need two horizontal monitors, just go for an ultra wide. You’ll start to open two/three windows at once and will love not having to switch windows.

    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.

  45. @mtdr3 on December 16, 2024 at 8:25 pm

    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 (180×80) and I’m using a monitor arm which allows me to gain additional place.

    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.
