r/ultrawidemasterraceWhat’s with the 5K2K hype?
12 months ago

I'm a little bias. But there have been three big jumps in Ultrawide. The first 3440x1440p monitor \~2014 [LG 34UC97](https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34UC97-S-ultrawide-monitor) 38" 3840x1600 144hz IPS \~2019 [38GL950G](https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-38gl950g-b-gaming-monitor) 45" OLED 5k2k \~2025 [lg45gx950a](https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-45gx950a-b-gaming-monitor) There was a huge gap where Oleds started to come out but not in the great 38" 3840x1600. So you had to sacrifice for OLED. Now you're getting a jump in PPI, jump in refresh rate, jump in screen size and resolution. This is what the ultrawide early adopter crowds has been waiting *years* for.

I use a 34 curved ips from LG. There are also mini LEDs from TCL.

If you get the 34" IPS LG, it's produced a good picture so far.

r/ultrawidemasterraceAre LG IPS 144hz 38" ultrawides good for gaming?
2 months ago

Lg 34 and 38 ultrawides still have one of the best IPS panels up to date for general multi purpose use. I have had LG 38 IPS for few years now and I will upgrade to LG 39 oled 5k2k eventually.

r/workfromhomeWFH setup advice: laptop + monitor for heavy reading/document work
4 months ago

My official job title is Business Analyst, but my function is essentially a form of grant writing. 90% to include reading and editing documents. My laptop and software were all provided by my employer, as well as two functional, but old, monitors. I bought the LG 34” curved monitor (on sale for $160) and it’s been a game changer for me. I don’t lose track of my cursor, c & p is easier, and I can have multiple docs up at the same time without having to minimize any of them. I’ve also found I have less head/eye aches. And my desk just feels less cluttered with one monitor as opposed to two. Also bought a basic, but wireless, mouse and keyboard.

r/ultrawidemasterraceFor those who went for non-OLED Ultrawides, which one did you get?

I wanted to get it - I stuck with the 34" IPS LG. But the resolution on this and the 38" screen size was super appealing.

r/ultrawidemasterraceWhich size to chose for 21:9 monitor? 45" vs 39" vs 34"
12 months ago

Same exact scenario, used a 34” LG for 10 years, bought the 5K2K the second it went live. Absolutely love it, so immersive at my sitting distance, id never go smaller at this point.

r/ultrawidemasterraceUltrawide 34 recomendation for work and games
5 months ago

I just bought the LG OLED 5K2K 45” ultrawide. I think there’s a 34” version? My last LG 34” 1440p ultrawide was great too. My last 4 monitors have been LG and they’ve been great.

r/ultrawidemasterraceUltrawide died, can't decide if i should go with another curved 34" 21:9 at 1440P, or a 32" flat 16:9 at 4K.
5 months ago

I went with a 34 1440p over the 32 4k. I had this exact dilemma and got the 32 4k first 240hz. My graphic card was 4090 and it looked great but fps was under 100 all the time. Switched to the 1440p 34 240hz and absolute love the switch. I get like 160hz+ and it’s so smooth and beautiful when playing cod and Diablo

r/macUltrawide 120 Hz (preferably 4K) for MacBook Pro M4 Pro 16”?
6 months ago

I have neither of those monitors. I use a old LG 3440x1440 34". That only has 108ppi resolution while the mentioned 5k2k displays have 140ppi. However, MacOS has scaling problems with everything that is not "retina" resolution, so everything below ~200ppi. I find the text to be a bit blurrier on non-Apple displays compared to Windows. But you get used to it. Also the built-in window management is complicated, sluggish and not really suitable for ultrawide monitors, you'll want additional software like Better Touch Tool or Rectangle.
