You guys are on 5k now?! That is crazy. I am still on a 2560 x 1080p ultrawide 34' LG monitor.
Here with a 21:9 IPS LG, 2560x1080. 34 inch is perfect for that resolution. Great for gaming, but some games are locked at 16:9 For work and Adobe, superb
Yeah I'm in the same boat. Running an oldish 34in 85ppi 21:9, IPS 144Hz LG. Bumping up to 39in 142ppi 5k2k, oled 165Hz would be a huge upgrade. Those retinal displays are really really tempting though for the beautiful ppi. But tbh I don't know how well those crazy resolutions would even perform in games. Your desktop background would look heavenly, but most game engines would probably grind to a stop. Not to mention the lack of ultrawide.
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.
I still have a 34" LG IPS monitor, it's a good piece of equipment, and until I find the right OLED...👌
I adore my current LG monitors (2x 34” IPS, 1x 27” IPS), but they’re fairly old now, lack the OLED displays, and I’ve been concerned about upgrading cause larger form factors have had pixel density issues. This seems like the perfect mixture of size, tech, and would fix perfectly into my mixed work from home and gaming setup.
Damn, I should have waited those 2 years.. I bought used LG IPS 34" for the price of new DWF
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.
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.
