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
I went from a 34" curved LG ultrawide to a 55" TV. I like the TV way better, but I think a 49" ultrawide monitor would work even better because then my 24" DDU that I have above my TV would be lower and could be more easily seen. Of course a 57" ultrawide monitor would be even better. Lol.
had the same lg 34 inch, same issue it bothere me so upgraded to asus XG32UCWMG text clarity is 10x better then 1440p oled
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 really love my 34 in lg curved ultra wide it’s perfect for truck sim. https://preview.redd.it/spiqeiue0xrf1.jpeg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b9757c46ad2f231cd0da193bd1e7d8e114b084e It’s also good for battle field I played the beta and it was really nice.
Yeah it’s only 165hz but it’s perfect for my 3080 setup.
After upgrading from 34 to 45, I really love the height, definitely not too tall. After a few months I would even consider a bigger 21/9 if they ever make one.
34". All the way. We have had AOC x 2 with zero issues, great monitor. My lad is currently on an LG 34" which seems to be fine, little bit of bleed. My daughter is also on a 34" Viewsonic, i'm on a 49" uw. My two main gaming buds are also 34". Both with 3060s. For gaming, gotta be 34" curved, it's a beautiful thing. Imo, i would stay away from nzxt myself.
