I Used an Ultrawide Monitor for 1500 Days (Worth It?)

I've used an ultrawide monitor in my desk setup for 4 years, and these are my thoughts...

I appreciate your time. Thanks for the support, Cole.

I've myself gone from 2 Monitors side-by-side to an Ultrawide.

I'm just loving it.

Only if OLED Ultrawides with 265 Hz Refresh Rates existed.

That would be a dream come true.

I’m using two 27” 2K Asus monitors, with one set up vertically and the other horizontally. This setup is ideal for streaming and other tasks. For my office work, I upgraded to an ultrawide monitor, which makes more sense for that environment.

Been using a 34 inch ultrawide at my office for a few months that I’m a huge fan of but recently got the MSI MPG321URX and I feel like 32 inches is an absolutely perfect size for working and gaming for me! I always have my LG Dualup at home with that monitor and it feels like the perfect setup for me

Good review bro, my next monitor will be an ultrawide.

I ended up buying Apple Studio Display over 38-inch ultrawide option a couple of months ago. I still cannot judge myself if the small 5K 27-inch was the best choice over 38-inch. Thanks to web cam and high quality speaker integration, my desktop is so clean with just one single cable. The build quality is way better than other plastic frames. I fill the small screen real state with laptop display as a second monitor for my heavy work.

Hi Cole, I recently got the BenQ lightbar but the version with the controls on the lightbar itself, should I stick with it or get the halo version? Since you have the halo version but said in the previous setup video that you would prefer to havethe version with the controls on the lightbar itself.

I am a software developer and don't have a good monitor;

In case you ever want to give out or get rid of your second monitor, I can put to good use down here.

Though the quality of visuals are very good, should have improved on the script. You have experienced both 32" 4k and an ultrawide, doing a detailed comparison of both specifically from productivity stand point would have made this video stand out from others. Comparing the video editing experience against a laptop screen is less useful as a viewer has already made a decision to upgrade to a dedicated monitor. Showing how the advantage of 4k vs advantage of ultrawide makes more sense. This includes scaling. Did you scale your 4k, did that eat into the real estate compared to ultrawide.
Hope you can make it as a separate video maybe.

So what do you think we should go for all for same price
1080p 144hz
4k 60hz
or
1080p ultrawide but 60hz
?

the black bars while gaming literally arent an issue

Hello there Cole, my name is Johnny and I'm a freelance logo designer, currently I'm looking for more works, would you love to have a logo for your channel's branding to help your audience recognise and remember you easier and longer? I would love to craft a techie themed graphical monogram logo that inspired by your direction for you! Let me know if you interested to make it happen! :-)

The way you’re ending your sentences is really annoying because u end it with either your voice fading or extending the last word so long I’m playing a minigame in my head and repeat every word you extend
No hate tho
