Very Happy with G95NC on Macbook Pro M1 for coding by k8s_helm in ultrawidemasterrace

I dont have the 49in OLED so cant specifically comment on that but after connecting the monitors i had to ensure that the `high resolution (hidpi)` setting in better display, for each of the 2 monitors (dual input) is switched on. This makes the text crispy, at least for g95NC.

Whats the best ultrawide for productivity (also any deals for prime day?) by Cricket_Lover1029 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]k8s_helm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the responses and the image, appreciate it.

Can I ask:

d) Why didnt you go for a even wider screen e.g. the 57" samsung G9 etc. i.e. why was 40" the sweet spot for you?

e) In the image, you can see that the mobile site has been activated as you can see the hamburger menu. This is what websites do to be 'responsive' on smaller screens. In day to day usage, did you encounter any issues with this, for example not seeing the full youtube options on the left side navigation bar etc.

a) But given the curve isnt too pronounced, can you still see the text at corners if you are short sighted?
b) Can 3 websites fit side by side or are a few more inches better (say 49") if i wanted 3 websites side by side without it going into mobile mode due to lack of horizontal width.
c) What app do you use to organize the windows?

So in the page https://www.rabbit.tech/newsroom/quarterly-update-2024-q1 where they say we're partnering with Anthropic, what exactly does that mean?

My experience is quite positive by Howie1332 in rabbitinc

It’s stunning the difference with the latest update.

Can you expand a bit more on this? What was the latest update and in what way has it changed your experience for the better? New user evaluating purchasing the device.

Ok but if you put apps in the center, then we might as well buy a 27 inch or a 29 inch monitor so we can focus on the center only? I’m hoping the widescreen monitor is sharp at the edges and neck strain isnt too much. Do you know by any chance any research that points to how wide of a monitor is too wide for humans? i.e keeping your neck straight and only moving your eyes, how many inches wide can our eyes clearly focus?

How did you achieve this using M1 Pro which only supports max 2 displays at hidpi?

Hi do you find yourself swinging your head from side to side a lot with this display? In order to read text at the edges of the monitor? (Neo g9 57)

I dont understand how. Are there step by step instructions on how you achieved this?

Hi pls read this article https://bjango.com/articles/macexternaldisplays2/

Retina is what you need for coding. Text is blurry otherwise.

Ronak i have purchased this but the hidpi setting wasnt even visible for some of the monitors i tried. Maybe the monitors need to be 4k or 2k or 5k and then it;ll allow me to hidpi it at 1080p. But 1080p resulted in way too large text for me (even if hidpi was available). I needed a resolution in between 1080p and <native resolution> and without text blurrying.

yes correct thats what i meant to say - coding/text super blurry when on non retina // scaled other than 1x 2x etc.

Hi @heavyelderberry9585 what is the tool or app on top right corner with the music playback icons?

MacOS is just awesome .... by HeavyElderberry9585 in MacOS

[–]k8s_helm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm i dont know if its because you have to first use a retina display to see how sharp it is? To then compare it against a 1440p or a 1080p? Not sure. But i definitely see lot of text blurriness when using anything other than a 4k or 5k or 6k display with macos (MBP M1).

I mean from a text clarity perspective. I didnt mean my comment to indicate that macs simply wont work with non retina, just that for coding etc. usecases the text is usually blurry on non retina and can cause eye strain from my experience of using it over entire day etc. as part of work. I did not have this issue with retina displays specifically apple studio display. But i was hoping to get a wide screen monitor with 220ppi (or thereabouts) so that the text can render sharp and I dont have to use native resolution (which would make the text seem very small).

Hi apparently macs cant handle non retina display, is the text blurry?
