Are huge 49"+ ultrawides worth it for productivity over two 27" 1440p monitors?
people actually buy those?
>>108463938I have a G93SC and I like it. The text fringing from the sub pixel layout is a little annoying, but I don't really notice it anymore.I think they're fixing it in the new models, but I'm not sure if they've released an ultrawide with the new layout.
>>108463938Just use alt+tab you swine.
>>108463938I actually bought it a while back and it arrived 2 days ago, will set it up over the weekend and maybe post a review in /bst/ or something.
>Samsung OdysseyWhy do they give them such cringe names?
>>108463938>productivityanon those are for race car games
At my office you have different desks with either 1 big ultrawide or 2 32" monitors. I prefer the latter with the laptop in the middle
>>108464039I dunno we got some 34" Dell ones for work which seemed quite nice So I was thinking why not 49"
>>108464021>cringe namesI'd say the fact that it looks like a storm trooper waving a pride flag is way more cringe
>>108463938Wish your pic related was OLED, I'd instantly buy it.
>>108463938I got G95C (because they don't make 1000R OLEDs), tweaked my hyprland config for it, and have been using it for more than a year with no issues.>two 27" 1440p monitorsYou can enable the picture-by-picture mode and the ultrawide will display its two inputs side-by-side. It's basically the same as having dual monitor setup but without a bezel in the middle.
>>108464052Two monitors aligned in the middle sucks. I have one in the middle and one off to the side. Currently in portrait because space constraints, though it turns out 27" 16x9 is not ideal for this as it's way too narrow and tall.Used to have my work laptop below the main monitor, but unfortunately my employer gave me an 18 inch big boy recently so now I have to put my main screen way up.
>>108463938It’s too big to look at everything, and it will encourage clutter
>>108463938Yes, I use both setups (home/work) and dual 1440p sucks in comparison.
>>1084639384:3 is the productivity
>>108463938>>108464008I just decided to set it up today, so far I like it. I have become very autistic about my screens, so for my dual monitor setup I had custom made KWin scripts. I have to adapt them to the new screen and then I will see if it's really better, if the thread is still up I will post here once I'm done.
My old Acer Predator ultrawide recently crapped out, something power related but replacing the power supply didn't fix it. Would this be a simple task for an electronics repair shop sort of place? This is waaay off warranty, I've had it almost a decade.
everybody bait op into buying it
>productivityHas anyone ever been more productive because they bought more computer peripherals? This feels like a purpose-built excuse to buy luxury computer products. You can justify ANY expense if it increases the rate at which you earn money! How convenient.
>>108464658I think so, but there are diminishing returns pretty quickly.
>>108463938If you get two monitors you can have the second one be verticalThis is super handy for screenshots to show to my co-workers
dual monitor setup will always be superior for productivity. Also you can replace 1 if one happens to bug etc.The only scenario where these curved ultrawides are superior is for flight simulators or race car simulators. But for some reason plebbit will swear they’re superior for productivity but then again it could just be company sales shills
>>108463938 -1800 !!!Productivity???Are you retarded?
>>108464052Such an oppressive atmosphere. Do you work at a cuck factory?
>>108465227Kek, this one always gets me. Like I know it's a bait pic but it's almost retarded enough to believe the author was serious.
>>108463977>alt+tabSucks when you have a lot open.Switching virtual desktops is a lot faster because you don't have to go through a menu.
>>108463938>mini ledno
>>108465238Yet there is also some truth in it as your in-game field of view is wider with a wider aspect ratio giving you a defensive advantage.Though truthfully the larger field of view is an advantage both offensively and defensively.It even caused some controversy when 16:9 wasn't yet the norm and many gamers couldn't afford.
>>108464658if I'm using more than one screen, I notice I will use certain software more simply because it's in my field of view more rather than hidden behind other windows in one screen. That said I still mostly stick to my laptop
>>108464539Productivity princess? That's cute of you UwU
>>108464052>macfag.jpg
>>108463938I have a 43 inch curved. Just exactly my cock. Massive and strong.
>>108463938>productivityeverything is good for productivity, even a 14" laptop monitor
>>108463938how often did you open a document this wide?productivity requires vertical space like picrel
wait, what if you had a big ass monitor and inside of it were simulations of differen monitor configurations? that would be so fun.
>>108465406That's not possible. If it were that would be extremely based. Imagine running a 16:9 monitor inside in your 40+ monitor
>>108465406>>108465450Pretty sure display fusion lets you do this, maybe not with refresh rate but I think you can add virtual monitors of any size
>>108465403>t. has never written Java
>>108465373>poorfag
>>108465406>>108465450It is literally a built-in option in the Odyssey monitors. You get 2 monitors with a single power cable and no gap between them.
I have 38 and it's pretty cool. I can't just use a regular monitor anymore. Tried a 32 16:9 and just didn't like it.
>>108465459>display fusionlooks pretty cool. i would want a version that gives you more freedom though. like less standardized sizes . like lets say you have a 50" TV as a monitor, you could split up the space however you want using whatever shapes you want and use blank spaces
>>108463938I prefer 21:9 because the equivalent of two squarish monitors displays more vertical content (i.e. text, code, terminals) at a time without wasted border space. I guess if you want to do 3-4 lateral tiles on a superultrawide (or you look at a ton of spreadsheets) it'd be alright, but then you're having to configure custom snap zones instead of just slamming the window on the edge of the viewport. 21:9 plus a vertical or a laptop screen is great.
>>108464658Being able to see two full windows at once is useful. Looking back and forth is faster and more reliable than tabbing back and forth. 2 monitors or a single wide monitor with 2 tiles. Massive reduction in friction.
>>108465403This is essentially what I end up doing, laptop screen then monitor higher behind it.
>>108464658When you're coding or doing other work you're constantly referencing other stuff and it's a pain in the ass to go back and forth. 3 monitors is ridiculous but 2 is undoubtedly superior.
>>108465505kek
>>108465525I've never actually used this option. Is there a user friendly way to switch the keyboard and mouse from A monitor to the B monitor when you have both on screen like this?
>>108465403Looking up even slightly is bad for the neck.
>>108463938Yeah nah
super wide screens are retarded, so are multiple screenswho the fuck wants to turn his head all the time
>>108467867Never tried one, right?
>>108467822>I've never actually used this optionMe neither. Tiling window manager is all you need to keep your shit organized on a 49" monitorstrosity.>Is there a user friendly way to switch the keyboard and mouse from A monitor to the B monitorWdym? You connect the monitor with two cables to your PC/dock/laptop and see it as two monitors in your OS/DE/WM settings. They function like any other dual monitor setup, so the peripherals will travel seamlessly between them.But I actually don't know what will happen if you connect two PCs to a single monitor like this. I don't think it has built-in KVM, much less a KVM that allows you to transfer peripherals from one machine to another seamlessly.
>>108463938i had a widescreen and hated it. black bars, window layout wasn't natural, etc. the next time i upgraded i just went back to a normal 16:9 and added a side monitor later for video/4chan.
>>108467845>t. hunchback of retar dame
>>108467923Actually some models have a built in KVM (mine does) but it requires a Samsung account and they do CRAZY shit like send screenshots of what you're doing back to Korea. So i dont use it
>>108463938who the fuck buys this shit. been using $200 tv's since 2012. "but muh refresh rate"
>>108463938yeah they're pretty good I used to have one at my second job. reading on it mostly sucks though.
>>108465505>>108467747Is this what hindi looks like in the Roman alphabet?>public strictfp static final synchronized transient volatile void main(String[] args)
>>108464658>>108463938the ultrawide screen made me start video editing againits so /comfy/ for kdenlive
>>108468160>send screenshots of what you're doing back to Korea
>>108464070>>108465122>>108465294>>108467856That's just a random screenshot, they do have 49" curved OLEDs as well I wouldn't spend £100 on a VA let alone £1800
>>108464052get better taste
>>108469691Those are all 1440p not 2160p.
>>108469727they are but my question is is it worth it to get an ultrawide over two conventional monitors?I'm less fussed about the actual specs unless someone has a recommendation for me
>>108469759no personaly, while it could work as a combined non-bezel dual screen, it's less flexible being that you can't expand vertical space or set them in a top-bottom (I have dual 27" this way and I love em)
>>108465575>you could split up the space however you want using whatever shapes you want and use blank spacesWhat the fuck would you use this for though?
>>108463953got one and returned it. the text fringing somehow gave me migraines.mindblowing monitor otherwise, though. and yeah, the new oleds don't have the subpixel layout issue anymore.
>>108464052anon your setup is dystopian wagecuck cringe and the embarrassing wallpapers are not helping
>>108465403The screens of the old Lisp Machines were portrait because of that idea. I kinda wish that portrait was more common in monitors.
>>108469773creative expression :3

>>108469802The refresh rate is too low for that price. I do like LG panels, but you can do better.
I would only have two monitors if one was vertical. I don't find that more real estate increases productivity, I just hide all of my Teams/Outlook/tickets on one monitor or the laptop and do work on the main one.
>>108463938noi haven't tried it but the math just doesn't add up
>>108463938Why not. I used to use ultrawides but went with a single big 42" 4k OLED instead because there's no good ultrawide OLEDs yet.
>>108469912I used to thought they were retarded. I bit the bullet and bought the largest one I could find. Best quality of life improvement I ever had.
>>108469939>used to thoughtI might still be retarded, but those monitors are great
>>108469911that's my setup at homeI think I'm getting two new monitors at work so one will def b vertical
>>108463938Is there even an option for flat ultrawides nowadays? Never liked curved displays.
>>108470121At a certain size you don't notice the curve at all. It's just immersive, plain flat would be worse. If you want a huge flat monitor, a huge 4k or 8k tv might do it though.
>>108469759Seema like the only advantage for an ultrawide over two seperate monitors is if you're doing something that can make use of the full doublewide screen space with a single window like animating or video editing, i.e. something that has a timeline
>>108467960I'm just old.
>>108470121Kuycon P40K
>>108469759yes unless you never play games or watch movies on your display.
yes. infinitely better than two separates.
>>108463938two monitors are much easier to handle and split tasks betweenthis is a vidya monitor first and foremostits features are literally wasted on productivity and the price tag is ridiculous, you can get 2 4k minileds for half the price
>>108473192yes, desk is shitty. it’s on the list.
>>108473207questions ive seen itt:>how to swap inputs for picture-by-picture?since i use logitech m+kb, i use “flow” that’s built in to the options software. i have a dongle in each machine, and i just hold ctrl as i drag my mouse to the edge of the “monitor” for one machine and it auto-switches the connection of both my mouse and kb to the other machine. it’s sick and really really seamless>why not just have twoless wires, less blah blah>multitaskinghit win+z (try it) and you can hit numbers to snap your active window into a wide assortment of configs, and then fancyzones gives me more for special cases. Usually i have side-by-side, three-way even split, or one big one in the center and a smaller one on either side.
Speaking of monitors, how can I improve my setup for my work laptop? Another monitor? I feel like I just don't have enough space. And I hate using the laptop screen as a third screen.
>>108473255laptop stand?
>>108474416jej did you delete it because you misunderstood?
>>108473236all that wasted screen space
>>108464052I feel sick
>>108463938For productivity, no. Unless you have insane autism and hate the bezel. I use an OLED G9 on my main PC and love it, but only work off of it sometimes when I'm lazy. It's great for content consumption and video games, but save your money if your focus is productivity.
>>108475561I just bought a 57 inch ultrawide for my work. It looks like it's good enough. I still use three monitors for my main desktop though.
>>108464201in the ergonomics video I watched last week, apparently being inbetween is best
>>108463938Not really. I had one, a lot of software didn't work right with it. I had to turn my head left and right to see the screen.2+ monitors makes more sense.
>>108465227>predator>can't see shit>gets one shot from the guy 1 pixel to his left or rightlel the animal kingdom doesn't have guns.
>>108475582thought about a single wide as a replacement for multiple, having one side of it configured as a vertical and either the entire rest or the middle section configured as a horizontal. not sure how feasible it is or if it wouldn't just be better to have 2 or 3 separate monitors instead.
>>108475852you can resize windows however you want. I dont get people who use display zones.
>>108475859>you can resize windows however you want.because it means you don't get windows covering other windows when you switch contexts.
>>108475883I dont get what you mean
>>108475886i don't care.
>>108463938>Are huge 49"+ ultrawides worth it for productivityHoly shit are you a fucking slave?
>>108463938How come no one talks about a portable monitor (16 laptop screen like) on your desk and then two monitors on top of that? I quite like that setup myself.
>>108476112It's stupid and not enough for real work
>>108463938no. get a 55" oled tv it costs way less than $1700
>>108475561>1440p
>>108463938Depends on the software but not really. Ever tried using Houdini? I'd assume curved screen is not ergonomic and it's a retard bait.
>>108476898Do you need more?
>>108477142Yep.
