That’s how Dell packs all of their new monitors and also with the tool less assembly, it’s so convenient, especially compared to how MSI had packed a 34” I got from them.
Dell's been packaging AIOs similar to that for years...clamshell packing that allows you to slide it out of the outer box face down. Helps when you gotta set up 100 of them rapidly.
@@phuturephunk you should see and unboxing of the the Alienware AW2521HFL monitor, I picked one up on sale and wow I don’t believe I’ve ever seen anything packed like that, I’m guessing Dells take is that if it’s packed well less chance of damages and lower returns and claims.
Just a thought, I'm pretty sure that there are people out there who use computers for something else other than content creation or playing games. I have the 38" model and love it. I can plug in one cable for charging the laptop, video, and USB accessories. The 100 watts power delivery (I know the new one is 90w.) allows me to run something heavy and the battery doesn't discharge even while plugging in. When I have a meeting just unplug one cable and get going. The wide screen is enough for a browser, IDE, and a terminal opening side by side where I don't have to turn my head as in the dual-screen setting. Anyway, love all of you guys' channels! They're really fun to watch :)
Dell monitors have always been pretty well designed packaging wise. I wish more companies took note. I also wish more companies did what Apple do with the iMacs and their displays by having the front of the box open downwards so you can take it out while it's stood up in its natural position (look for iMac unboxings if you're not quite sure what I mean).
This monitor is awesome for programming work and for professional photographers. I'd definitely buy it if it's out. It's indeed the first of its kind, 40 inch 5x2k monitors do not exist. Probably that's what Dell meant.
Spot on, it is still the only monitor of this size with this resolution - all the others have a smaller screen size. I now have this monitor and it’s an awesome display that has really improved my productivity. The 30Hz via HDMI is not an issue for me as I only use Thunderbolt and Display Port - the integrated hub/kvm switch and the 90 watt charging mean that I now have a desk with minimal clutter.

You'd consider this monitor over the $1400 LG for a variety of reasons. Because it's 6" larger, higher resolution, and it's also got a KVM included, which can be convenient (when it works). It's also got a non-reflective finish. It's not a game monitor, but that means that it's taller than a gamer monitor, with extra vertical resolution--content creators need those extra pixels in the vertical direction!!! We need at least 4k/UHD, and having it "5k" wide is NICE! I don't think the LG you showed can do everything this monitor can do--that's obvious. I've had this monitor for maybe 6 months and paid $1,689.99 total. Is it worth it... My biggest gripe, besides the price, is it's VERY hard to get to the ports because they all face the desk. The monitor is big and bulky and hard to move around. Picture quality is GREAT. And for writing software you just can't beat the horizontal size of the monitor--you can see very long lines of code.

Bought this monitor back in April last year. Turned it on Thursday Morning last, and lines vertically on left hand side and all along the bottom. Opened up a ticket , tech support asked for pictures and then came back within 24 hours saying I’d physically damaged the monitor! Spent two hours on the phone with them today , asked for an engineer to call out , they said they don’t repair monitors, said I’d pay for the engineer call to prove the monitor was in perfect condition with no physical damage they said no. I asked how do I resolve it , they said go to a repair shop ! They then sent me an email saying to contact Dell sales to purchase a new monitor, after the current one which cost me over €2000 didn’t last 12 months! Scandalous service. I now have to go to the consumer protection agency and possibly legal.
4:29 can you please add metric numbers in future as well? I know most of your viewers probably are from US and CAN but there are just few countries that actually use imperial system. Imperial system is damn stupid.
Re-your marketing issue and rant at 7:27: The LG one you're talking about isn't curved (which is exactly why I didn't buy it- plus there were terrible reviews regarding MBP machines). So.... this is literally is the first _curved_ 5k 2k monitor. And it's the first 40" one as well. So the marketing is true on two counts.
Completely overlooks the two features that people would care about in this monitor, 5K resolution and bigger size. 38" and 34" ultrawide has too low pixel density making text pixelated. The 34" 5k monitor is a bit small, at least in vertical height. The 40" is big and wide, and has good pixel density (same as 32" non-ultrawide 4k)! Not a fair review.
I'm SURPRISED that everyone is FINALLY starting to see Dell's Elaborate and Professional looking Gaming/Content Creation monitors. I've had my Dell S3220DGF for almost 1.5 years now and I love it!
I bought a U3419W in December to go with my M1 MacBook Air and also replace my Apple 23" Cinema HD and 20" Cinema Displays I was using with my Linux box up until then. I might have even bought this one instead if it had already been out then… What I like is the full build in TB Hub including ethernet, so after I move, I might get this one for my video conferencing setup, so I can hook up my monitor, capture card for the Sony A7, ethernet and keyboard and mouse all with one cable which would be pretty sweet (plus, I think it looks a little bit better than the U3419W and is a little larger, which is nice when you can really only connect one external display)
I love that these guys at LMG never take retakes for small mistakes like saying 'with' instead of 'without' (4:27). That part is managed by the editing team. That is entertaining.
Wouldn't that be about the same vertical length as a 32"? I think when your UW is that small it almost doesn't make any sense to extend the aspect ratio - which is why we only really see UW come into effect at the 27" 16:9 size and up.
@@TuNguyen-nj4os yea but 27 inch are already at the top end of normal monitor sizes which is why most people would like vertical extensions whereas the 23-24 inch space is the standard having plenty of room to grow in both directions - the vertical being the most obvious one.
@@fVNzO But there are some who find 27" a bit too large(include myself). Your eyes are horizontal so if you extend horizontal size you don't need to sit further back
power delivery is why this will sell a ton for laptop users. a lot of mac and pc users will see one cable to plug in and be sold, even if it isn't necessarily the best monitor.
Not the best picture at 3:31 but you should not lift the monitor out of the box at this point. Move the packaging paper so that the stand mount is accessible. Place the stand into the mount and lift the monitor out of the box by holding the stand. It is a lot easier and saves some time. There is also less risk of damaging the monitor because your fingers might slip.
TVs have now got better ports than this monitor has! HDMI 2.1 is now becoming a norm in TVs. Also, TVs have started to have high refresh, low latency displays with game mode that makes it close to a gaming monitor than some of the actual monitors currently available. BTW, by adding a TV tuner card to your PC, you can use that for cable TV as well! With most of the world moving to streaming services, cable TV is becoming more and more irrelevant. As such even the TVs are moving towards becoming better monitors.
I am actually glad they are brining a 40" back to the market, even though its only an ultrawide. I could game on this pretty well if it does do 75hz. I wish they would bring back more 40 inch 4k displays. I actually found it to be the sweet spot in most games instead of 32 inch 4k. The 40 inch 4k allows some games such as MMO's to give larger HUD and toolbar displays. Easier on the eyes then the 32 inch 4k. I would love if they would make a 40inch 4k IPS 144hz monitor. But this ultrawide is not bad at all, except for the price. Should be perhaps $1200 or so, not $2000!
90 watts is so nice! My laptop overcurrents my dell ultra wide on DisplayPort alt mode anytime I need to charge and use the processor at the same time. It is the only thing keeping me from having the coveted one wire connection at my desk.
Guys I'm starting to be impressed to a new level... For real though some of the little bits you drop in there like "feel" are hard to do in a video. But somehow I'm starting to get it very well 👍
I’ll bet I can tell you why this is coming out now. It’s for the “work from home” people. Built in KVM and laptop charging? IE bring your work laptop home and switch back and forth and not need a bunch of extra cables /keyboard/etc. I bought a USB switch and USB-C to DisplayPort cable to do the same thing.
@@mkruizv lol spot on - I’d love the io on this - as I switch between my MacBook Pro and my Windows/Ubuntu desktop quite a lot - my clunky solution is a usb c hub plugging into my laptop and another usb a hub plugging into usb sharing switch. So still “one cable” I have to plug into and out of my laptop but a whole lot of nastiness in the wiring behind to get it to work...
Dell monitors are fantastic if you have multiple devices. They act as KVM. I have the 49" (32:9 is the best aspect ratio). I love it. Only 70Hz, but more than enough for my 2080ti for most games I play. I have 4 devices connected (QubesOS, Win10, Mac, work) 3 via the KVM. work in not on KVM.
Why choose it over the LG? Pretty simple: Try to open a word doc or PDF on any of these ultrawide screens and you will notice that all that width is useless and in height you get less than on your old 24" 16:10. 40" just sounds much. But you need that with ultrawides to get some height out of it.
I use the 34 inch version and it's sick. Fantastic for people who need dual monitors but don't have the desk space for it. I just wish it could support 180 watt power, not 90. One cable to my laptop vs two.
Disagree, especially for a casual gamer that's looking for more content creation purposes. 60hz, or anything above would be pointless when I'd likely be sacrificing color accuracy or something equally important.
@@icanmakeeverythingilovedie9861 everyone has their own picks for what they want/have to do.. if you need a highly color accurate 4K display, then 60hz is the way to go. If you need/want a high refresh rate, but less color accurate display then a 144/240hz gaming monitor is for you. Personally, for what I use my pc for, I have a 144hz LG 1080p 27”. It works well for everday use even for other purposes that aren’t gaming related, like for watching movies, or just chilling with a chrome cast watching youtube.
KVM, 144 ppi, Thunderbold3 w/ 90 watts power delivery, curved display - it definitely is a combination that the LG does note provide. Actually there is no other display right now at all. Yes, you have to be part of the target group that actually uses two devices on one keyboard/mouse/monitor set. This monitor seems to be well designed for home office use these days where you want to separate work and personal stuff with a desktop PC (or M1 Mac mini in my case 🤤) as your home device and the laptop from your employer. If that laptop is intended to be fully integrated into the setup or even is a MacBook of some sort, you absolutely need USB-C with Thunderbold 3 support. This is what this display provides all at once and you won’t find anything like this anywhere else on the market today.
Recently viewed this monitor and is an awesome display - I think the first thing is referring to the combination of the size and resolution as all the other screens with this resolution are smaller. Its on my shortlist for my nest monitor.
If you do end up doing a review, check to see if windows can retain the display settings when the monitor is off and sometimes when switching inputs (PC still on). Windows resizes the display and program windows with my U3415W, so I bought a HDMI dummy plug and set it up with matching settings in mirror mode.
These new high (or at least, moderately high) PPI ultrawides are coming out now for M1 users who are stuck with only one external monitor and have to replace their dual or triple monitor setups all the sudden. You can go with 49 inch screens like the Odyssey G9, CRG9, LG/Dell 49 IPS (same panel for the last two), but the PPI is very low by Apple user standards. For this niche, I think the Dell 40 inch will do OK, as will that 34 inch 34BK95U-W you mentioned. They're all basically substitutes for XDRs.
I returned two LG 5K2 monitors due to crazy annoying screen retention issues. Try googling this, it seems like a known issue with that monitor. For some, this might be enough reason to stay away from the LG panel based ones. I ordered this one, simply for an alternative 5K2K ultra-wide. BTW, which are the other 40" curved 5K2K monitors out there? There is a statement made that this is just bad marketing, but, he never refers to the existing 40" 5K2K curved ultra-wide that makes this claim false?
This is the exact monitor I've been waiting for. LG's 34" did not seem large enough for me, so I've been waiting for something larger (specifically from dell). Only downside is that it's 60hz, but at least it can be slightly overclocked. I'll keep playing with dogecoin and hopefully get this monitor soon.
I think this monitor actually looks pretty decent. It would be something that I would consider buying if I was looking for that size. Unfortunately I don't have the desk space for a monitor that wide. On my computers I currently have a Dell 34-inch Curved UW U3415W, two Dell 32-inch Curved Gaming S3220DGF, a Dell 30-inch U3011, and a Dell 29-inch UW U2913WM.
I miss Taran, he reviews products in a way that apply to the people who care about the applications towards video editing and stuff. Edit: I'm saying this like he's dead, and he's not (I think)
I'm sure we'll see Taran again this year. It's not uncommon that it usually takes some time as he actually test the products for very long time. Patience my man!
The lower PPI, due to a larger 40" panel, will default your OS to a scale closer to 100% over the LG (you could get away using this at 100% scale if your eyesight was good). Therefore, you get more usable screen real-estate over the LG. These are enterprise orientated monitors. I can see this easily replace a 4 x 24" 1920 x 1080 setup that old school traders have.
Do you have a hard time watching movies? No? Well movies are 24fps. There is a reason 60 isnt standard, its literally not needed. When you aren't in controll the fps doesn't matter as much. Edit: And if fps did matter when you are watching, then 60 isn't even enough. I'd say if you want to have a smooth experience you need atleast 90-120fps minimum.

Dell: Let's release a $1000 monitor for $2000.
Dell generally offer premium monitors, they leave the cheap end to brands like Handspree, AOC, ASUS, BenQ etc
You do the best unboxings out of everyone at LMG I love the sound effects and facial expressions lmao!
I feel like James finally got pulled up for always calling his unboxings ‘reviews’
Dabbing into the sponsorship was epic! By far best segway transition thus far this year 👏
When is the big ultrawide roundup video coming. If love a video where you compare the most popular ultrawides
They said it’s world’s first 40 in ultrawide that is 5k2k, not world’s first 5k2k. 34 in lg monitor you mentioned is irrelevant since it isn’t 40 in.
4:29 can you please add metric numbers in future as well? I know most of your viewers probably are from US and CAN but there are just few countries that actually use imperial system. Imperial system is damn stupid.
We Canadians don’t stoop that low. The only people still using imperial are the old timers.
What a ridiculous ask
I remember Linus using metric most of the time. It's weird they didn't this time.
Multiply by 25 mm, not that hard
majority of the audience is american
Re-your marketing issue and rant at 7:27: The LG one you're talking about isn't curved (which is exactly why I didn't buy it- plus there were terrible reviews regarding MBP machines). So.... this is literally is the first _curved_ 5k 2k monitor. And it's the first 40" one as well. So the marketing is true on two counts.
this looks like a good developer / manager monitor
It looks to be meant at office work, built in ethernet basically makes it a docking station (at least when used with usb c/thunderbolt 3 laptops).
This monitor with HDMI 2.1 and HDR and at least 120hz would be nearly perfect.
Wesite indicate it is 2.1 tho...
Built in KVM switch is very nice , switching between office laptop and personal rig in a button is pretty handy
They are right though, this is the first 40inch 5k/2k wide monitor.
Completely overlooks the two features that people would care about in this monitor, 5K resolution and bigger size. 38" and 34" ultrawide has too low pixel density making text pixelated. The 34" 5k monitor is a bit small, at least in vertical height. The 40" is big and wide, and has good pixel density (same as 32" non-ultrawide 4k)! Not a fair review.
I'm SURPRISED that everyone is FINALLY starting to see Dell's Elaborate and Professional looking Gaming/Content Creation monitors. I've had my Dell S3220DGF for almost 1.5 years now and I love it!
I bought a U3419W in December to go with my M1 MacBook Air and also replace my Apple 23" Cinema HD and 20" Cinema Displays I was using with my Linux box up until then. I might have even bought this one instead if it had already been out then…
What I like is the full build in TB Hub including ethernet, so after I move, I might get this one for my video conferencing setup, so I can hook up my monitor, capture card for the Sony A7, ethernet and keyboard and mouse all with one cable which would be pretty sweet (plus, I think it looks a little bit better than the U3419W and is a little larger, which is nice when you can really only connect one external display)
All I wanna say is that the monitor got some real high quality packaging. Love it
I love that these guys at LMG never take retakes for small mistakes like saying 'with' instead of 'without' (4:27). That part is managed by the editing team. That is entertaining.
I would love to see more 29" - 30" (ips high refresh rate) ultrawides on the market
Wouldn't that be about the same vertical length as a 32"? I think when your UW is that small it almost doesn't make any sense to extend the aspect ratio - which is why we only really see UW come into effect at the 27" 16:9 size and up.
@@fVNzO You can say the same about 34" ultrawide vs 40+" 16:9 , 29" is for those want a 23-24" but ultrawide
I got excited when I first saw this then I saw the refresh rate 😟
@@TuNguyen-nj4os yea but 27 inch are already at the top end of normal monitor sizes which is why most people would like vertical extensions whereas the 23-24 inch space is the standard having plenty of room to grow in both directions - the vertical being the most obvious one.
@@fVNzO But there are some who find 27" a bit too large(include myself). Your eyes are horizontal so if you extend horizontal size you don't need to sit further back
power delivery is why this will sell a ton for laptop users. a lot of mac and pc users will see one cable to plug in and be sold, even if it isn't necessarily the best monitor.
Feels odd and very wrong watching him and NOT hearing Riley in the background. lol
Not the best picture at 3:31 but you should not lift the monitor out of the box at this point. Move the packaging paper so that the stand mount is accessible. Place the stand into the mount and lift the monitor out of the box by holding the stand. It is a lot easier and saves some time. There is also less risk of damaging the monitor because your fingers might slip.
Love how monitors are turning into TVs and TVs are getting more monitors like!
TVs have now got better ports than this monitor has! HDMI 2.1 is now becoming a norm in TVs. Also, TVs have started to have high refresh, low latency displays with game mode that makes it close to a gaming monitor than some of the actual monitors currently available.
BTW, by adding a TV tuner card to your PC, you can use that for cable TV as well! With most of the world moving to streaming services, cable TV is becoming more and more irrelevant. As such even the TVs are moving towards becoming better monitors.
I am actually glad they are brining a 40" back to the market, even though its only an ultrawide. I could game on this pretty well if it does do 75hz. I wish they would bring back more 40 inch 4k displays. I actually found it to be the sweet spot in most games instead of 32 inch 4k. The 40 inch 4k allows some games such as MMO's to give larger HUD and toolbar displays. Easier on the eyes then the 32 inch 4k. I would love if they would make a 40inch 4k IPS 144hz monitor. But this ultrawide is not bad at all, except for the price. Should be perhaps $1200 or so, not $2000!
Hearing the unboxer say this Dell brings nothing new, when I've been waiting for this monitor for 4+ years, yeah...
Right, literally been waiting for years for this
90 watts is so nice! My laptop overcurrents my dell ultra wide on DisplayPort alt mode anytime I need to charge and use the processor at the same time. It is the only thing keeping me from having the coveted one wire connection at my desk.
This was actually REALLY great video, until James started giving opinions.... oh well.
I like James's care free attitude with the cardboard. Chuck it, fling it. I love it.
Yikes. Dell got dissed by a guy that immediately after, said "yee" while dabbing.
James in a good mood is a treat to watch

Guys I'm starting to be impressed to a new level... For real though some of the little bits you drop in there like "feel" are hard to do in a video. But somehow I'm starting to get it very well 👍
It’s a perfect programming monitor
agreed
That packaging is insane. We as customers should demand this always. Minimal plastic, smartly packaged to make it easier to assemble. Just wow.
I’ll bet I can tell you why this is coming out now.
It’s for the “work from home” people.
Built in KVM and laptop charging?
IE bring your work laptop home and switch back and forth and not need a bunch of extra cables /keyboard/etc.
I bought a USB switch and USB-C to DisplayPort cable to do the same thing.
My guess is the target is MacBook users...
@@mkruizv lol spot on - I’d love the io on this - as I switch between my MacBook Pro and my Windows/Ubuntu desktop quite a lot - my clunky solution is a usb c hub plugging into my laptop and another usb a hub plugging into usb sharing switch. So still “one cable” I have to plug into and out of my laptop but a whole lot of nastiness in the wiring behind to get it to work...
@@sohamray908 You dont need a Dock if the monitor is the dock.
Love how streamlined dells monitor lineup is. Many similarities with my 160€ ultrasharp. I think I would instantly feel at home with this one
Is his T-Shirt also in the LTT store, or from where can i get it ?
Dell monitors are fantastic if you have multiple devices. They act as KVM. I have the 49" (32:9 is the best aspect ratio). I love it. Only 70Hz, but more than enough for my 2080ti for most games I play. I have 4 devices connected (QubesOS, Win10, Mac, work) 3 via the KVM. work in not on KVM.
“People love a big box”
Women love a big package
I wish they made a monitor just like this but with miniLED and HDR1000 and 120Hz. That'd be my DREAM Monitor!
Why would you buy this over the LG 5k2k? Cause it's bigger and curved. Idk why he was so negative about this monitor
Why choose it over the LG?
Pretty simple: Try to open a word doc or PDF on any of these ultrawide screens and you will notice that all that width is useless and in height you get less than on your old 24" 16:10.
40" just sounds much. But you need that with ultrawides to get some height out of it.
It’s a new gang: The Delta E’s
Don’t mess with the Delta E’s!!!
I use the 34 inch version and it's sick. Fantastic for people who need dual monitors but don't have the desk space for it. I just wish it could support 180 watt power, not 90. One cable to my laptop vs two.
60hz should be illegal
Disagree, especially for a casual gamer that's looking for more content creation purposes. 60hz, or anything above would be pointless when I'd likely be sacrificing color accuracy or something equally important.
LG got you covered, Dell mostly focus on office / content creation use
guess I'm a criminal now
@@icanmakeeverythingilovedie9861 everyone has their own picks for what they want/have to do.. if you need a highly color accurate 4K display, then 60hz is the way to go. If you need/want a high refresh rate, but less color accurate display then a 144/240hz gaming monitor is for you. Personally, for what I use my pc for, I have a 144hz LG 1080p 27”. It works well for everday use even for other purposes that aren’t gaming related, like for watching movies, or just chilling with a chrome cast watching youtube.
KVM, 144 ppi, Thunderbold3 w/ 90 watts power delivery, curved display - it definitely is a combination that the LG does note provide. Actually there is no other display right now at all.
Yes, you have to be part of the target group that actually uses two devices on one keyboard/mouse/monitor set. This monitor seems to be well designed for home office use these days where you want to separate work and personal stuff with a desktop PC (or M1 Mac mini in my case 🤤) as your home device and the laptop from your employer. If that laptop is intended to be fully integrated into the setup or even is a MacBook of some sort, you absolutely need USB-C with Thunderbold 3 support. This is what this display provides all at once and you won’t find anything like this anywhere else on the market today.
I think he totally missed the point.

3:08 Cable management = illuminati confirmed
Recently viewed this monitor and is an awesome display - I think the first thing is referring to the combination of the size and resolution as all the other screens with this resolution are smaller. Its on my shortlist for my nest monitor.
But did you get financing with that?
If you do end up doing a review, check to see if windows can retain the display settings when the monitor is off and sometimes when switching inputs (PC still on). Windows resizes the display and program windows with my U3415W, so I bought a HDMI dummy plug and set it up with matching settings in mirror mode.
When we getting LTT Shears?
Never - Linus has mentioned several times how glad he is that no one has a say in the companies business because of invested money

These new high (or at least, moderately high) PPI ultrawides are coming out now for M1 users who are stuck with only one external monitor and have to replace their dual or triple monitor setups all the sudden. You can go with 49 inch screens like the Odyssey G9, CRG9, LG/Dell 49 IPS (same panel for the last two), but the PPI is very low by Apple user standards.
For this niche, I think the Dell 40 inch will do OK, as will that 34 inch 34BK95U-W you mentioned. They're all basically substitutes for XDRs.
Please include metric in the future for those of us too lazy to convert. :c
You meant for the rest of the world?
I returned two LG 5K2 monitors due to crazy annoying screen retention issues. Try googling this, it seems like a known issue with that monitor. For some, this might be enough reason to stay away from the LG panel based ones. I ordered this one, simply for an alternative 5K2K ultra-wide. BTW, which are the other 40" curved 5K2K monitors out there? There is a statement made that this is just bad marketing, but, he never refers to the existing 40" 5K2K curved ultra-wide that makes this claim false?
You keep shears in your pocket??! My mom would never approve...
I have kept scissors in my back pocket. Even gone home on a bus before noticing, a small pair for that last part.

This is the exact monitor I've been waiting for. LG's 34" did not seem large enough for me, so I've been waiting for something larger (specifically from dell). Only downside is that it's 60hz, but at least it can be slightly overclocked. I'll keep playing with dogecoin and hopefully get this monitor soon.
The world's first third ever 5k2k monitor?
the monitor rotation is also good if your desk isn't perfectly level. Dell's stands are usually quite good with ergonomics.
I scroll down to the comments section and see two comments claiming they're first. RUclips comment section culture everyone.

I think this monitor actually looks pretty decent. It would be something that I would consider buying if I was looking for that size. Unfortunately I don't have the desk space for a monitor that wide.
On my computers I currently have a Dell 34-inch Curved UW U3415W, two Dell 32-inch Curved Gaming S3220DGF, a Dell 30-inch U3011, and a Dell 29-inch UW U2913WM.
I miss Taran, he reviews products in a way that apply to the people who care about the applications towards video editing and stuff.
Edit: I'm saying this like he's dead, and he's not (I think)
I'm sure we'll see Taran again this year. It's not uncommon that it usually takes some time as he actually test the products for very long time. Patience my man!

If you're already doing the weight overlay, like at 04:26, why not also add metric units for the rest of the world?

The lower PPI, due to a larger 40" panel, will default your OS to a scale closer to 100% over the LG (you could get away using this at 100% scale if your eyesight was good). Therefore, you get more usable screen real-estate over the LG.
These are enterprise orientated monitors. I can see this easily replace a 4 x 24" 1920 x 1080 setup that old school traders have.
"Now that I'm moving the mouse, it looks like a slideshow"
Which is why you should upload in 60FPS!
Do you have a hard time watching movies? No? Well movies are 24fps.
There is a reason 60 isnt standard, its literally not needed. When you aren't in controll the fps doesn't matter as much.
Edit: And if fps did matter when you are watching, then 60 isn't even enough. I'd say if you want to have a smooth experience you need atleast 90-120fps minimum.
@@llamacannon1714 lol, it's a joke, i'm not stupid. and 60 being "not needed" isn't a very good statement for monitor reviews.
