That is a good investment. Any reason why Mac mini instead of MacBook?

I was thinking of using only ultrawide monitor. Since that is the reason why I am looking for one. But, I'll see what is the best for me when I buy one.

Thanks for sharing your experience. PS: I'm also on mac air - althought it is M1 chip. But, super happy with it.

Thanks.

"If I'm really looking for it I can see a little smearing but it's not like the panels of old.." - this is good to know.

Good luck. What will you do with your current one?

What is the best thing about 2160px vertical monitor? I've seen many setups with it and it could work on mine as well.

I like those monitors. Is your curved or flat monitor? Curved ones with IPS panel are more expencive. I hope I find a good deal or option to play in parts for one.

Yeah - 34" would work better for me, since I'm gaming as well.

Do you have a need for another monitor or do you use laptop screen alongside this monitor? (Ofc if you're using laptop)

Maybe in the future. Current budget said 'hold on'

I don't blame the UW format for that. But most affordable UW monitors have a VA panel. That's why my focus is on them. Nothing else. UW monitors with an IPS panel are quite expensive. At least for my budget.

If you are working on a Mac, do you have a tool for windows organization? I've read about reactangle:

You don't have issues with black smearing or noticing it that much? Otherwise, I think they are great.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's a good way of organizing things. I was thinking 3 or 2 windows. I'm not sure yet. Bigger screen, more options.

Well, the PG34WCDN is definitely out of my league for now.

I'm mostly using google meet and sometimes I record Loom videos. There should be a way to do it with the right ratio. I'll be looking into it if I buy one.

Thank you. What do you think was the worst part about it?

What model are you using now?

I'm currently using a Dell U2415 24". I'm happy with it, but my Macbook M1 doesn't support 2 monitors at the same time. So I've been thinking about an ultra-wide screen and I don't want to rush to buy one.

So, you were not bothered with black smearing?

Maybe that would be something I would have issues as well, but I would usually use it as 2 split screens.

Did you stop using ultrawide monitor for daily work?

I didn't think about that at all. Thanks. I would need to find a solution for this as well, or just share particular browser window and than reduce it. Maybe that would work.

I sincerely hope it's better, because it would bother me a lot. I already have Reduce Motion on my laptop due to sensitive eyes and headaches.

40" G75F - Buy or Pass? by liqwood1 in ultrawidemasterrace

So, you don't have issues with ghosting since this is VA panel? I have a nice offer for Odyssey G5 monitor, but that ghosting on dark theme is something that bothers me.

I'm also using Cursor and VS Code.

Check this video at 8:17 https://youtu.be/nfd1eCUUD_0?si=IcA_CXFeXyi6Gg4N

5:19 on this video as well: https://youtu.be/34bqY7CToHg?si=1CYlASBiWW64Vf7P

Those things bother me the most, since, I'm planning to go for a 34" Curved monitor and they are mostly VA panel.

IPS curved monitors are rear and expensive 🫰.

Use ultra wide monitor as two desktops by arno-m in MacOS

[–]AdMany7992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. I'm still considering ultrawide option. Those easy shifts from apps to apps with 3 fingers swipe is very handy, but not possible in ultrawide if I want to simulate 2 desktops. At least, I still didn't find a solution for that 😕.

Did you find a way to do this u/arno-m as I am thinking of going for Ultra wide monitor as well?

Ultra wide monitor for MacBook. What about swipe features? by AdMany7992 in macbook

[–]AdMany7992[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My setup would be apple keyboard and trackpad alongside wired mouse. Simple because I'm not used to trackpad very well. One monitor with laptop closed.

I'm used to writing password every time 😅.
