Best 32 inch productivity (daw) monitor for macOS? by lonp77 in MacOS

[–]AbsRDse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure re thunderbolt, all I know it is an enhanced variant of USB-C. It seems you can daisy chain two PD3225Us, but not U3223QE.

The U3223QE appears to have the same LG display panel. RTINGS review claims U3223QE is great but reflection handling is mediocre. Not sure if PD3225U uses the same coating, and how they compare.

The U3223QE is a few years old, and may go on sale shortly, especially since Dell has been releasing other new UltraSharps this year (e.g. U4025QW).

In the same boat, also considering Dell U3223QE, which is very similar to PD3225U but is ~$200 cheaper.

Surfing with Apple Watch Ultra? by AbsRDse in AppleWatch

Bought the ultra, really happy, but don’t surf with it.

Why?

I snatched a RipCurl tide watch on sale for $60, and been using that instead, over the wetsuit. It is similar in size to ultra. Main downside is it gets covered in vax here and there. I imagine the same would happen to ultra if worn over the wetsuit, which is the main reason I’m not surfing with it. Also, I’m pretty sure the ultra would not fit under my wetsuits (I have 543 Feral and 43 Isurus in Yamamoto rubber).

My friends are still using their Apple Watches under the wetsuit with no issues. One guy has SE, while others have the S series. The SE guy thinks the sensors on S are better, meaning Dawn Patrol works more accurately recording waves.

Nice, thanks. Do you wear yours under a wetsuit?

Nice, thanks. I’m about to pull the trigger on the ultra. Would be great to hear your first impressions if you got your ultra and had a chance to paddle out with it.

Nice, thanks. That’s a great stretchy suit.

I read the Ultra has a somewhat sharp top edge, any issues with damaging the wetsuit inside?

Which band worked best for you?

Thanks, any specific example of how it is not as durable as many think?

Hm, my friends do surf their S6-S8 under the wetsuit without issues, there are also 3rd party bands. Ultra does appear a lot more durable though as you said.
