LG 32UD59-B 32-Inch 4K UHD LED-Lit Monitor with FreeSync
Excellent illustrative video, thank you. This is why a 4K display may not necessarily be the better choice over 2K and it depends on various factors which in no small part includes visual acuity. Until I hit my mid 40s, I would always purchase the highest display resolution option available for my laptops. Great eyesight meant that the smaller font trade off for increased screen real estate with higher resolutions was no problem.
These days, I pick the display with the most easily read font size at native resolution. Scaling has improved tremendously in the last decade, but a monitor used at native resolution still provides optimal crispness in all use scenarios. Which means that for my 13” ultrabook, 4K is a no no.
This comment was even more useful than the already excellent video! 👍🏽 👍🏽
I have been looking for optimum screen sizes and resolution. The optimum distance is about 70-90 cm so you need about 90-108 ppi which means 27" or 32" 1440p. For 4k, 40" is optimum. I know it feels so good to have a 4k monitor, it is a lot sharper but it is like always eating candies and at some point you just want regular home made cooking.
PS: I understand the idea behind scaling (sometimes you just need 4k at 100%) but I don't like scaling. My brother whose eyesight is really good, is using 23,8" 1440p at 125 or 150% scaling (he can see fish in the river from far away). Also for competitive gaming 1080p or 2k is the sweet spot.
do you still stand by this? what monitor do you currently have?
Amazing video. Almostno one covers this topic when talking about monitors.
Almost everyone who comes into our store wants a 4k monitor....for sharper images and ' NOT ' for putting more items on the screen. Strange eh?
I used to take random surveys with customers and most people only chose 4k for better image quality and nothing else.
Yeah very odd, because the sharpness is from the quality of the screen dpi, not just the 4k
I'm REALLY curious how well Windows 11 scales 4K. I' really surprised that I can't find a video on that. Oh well! Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the useful video that helped me choose the right specs for a new monitor. I had done some calculations about how different screen sizes and pixel densities would compare, but seeing this side by side demonstration helped!
I wanted to replace my 27" 2560x1440 monitor and it was tricky to work out how different monitors would compare in terms of how much more stuff would actually fit on the screen if I wanted text to be the same size as my current monitor. I ended up with a Dell 40" 5120x2160 with scaling set to 125%, which gave roughly the same text size but with more pixels per inch for sharper text and images.
Wow 40" monitor! Nice!
I don’t know how to give thanks at this point.
You made best comparison possible on planet 😂
Would 125% be sufficient scaling on a 27 inch monitor at 4k, or would 150% be better in that case?
This is a GREAT video. I've been looking for this for the whole of last year. Thanks, subscribed.
How compare 32" 2k monitor at normal scaling versus 32" 4k at 150 scaling? (image quality) Thanks.
amazing video ty for this
That was useful. Thanks.
My issue is I have a 32 inch 2K and a 27 inch 4K. When I slide my app over from the 2K it becomes so small and just the top text bar the rest of the texts are fine it's just Adobe Lightroom Photoshop that does it
by 2k - you mean 1440p correct?
Fun fact: the recommended 150 % makes the resolution like 2560 x 1440 - in other words, a 1440p display.
The 125 % makes it like 3072 x 1728. And that's more than a 1440p. You can't buy a 1728p display anyhow. But on this 32" that is about 110 dpi.
But indeed, 150 % scaling ona 4K? Then just buy a 1440p. That is unless you need 4K images or video or something.
But wont you also get the extra real estate with 4k even if you scale to 150%?
Great video. What I was looking for. I have a question please: by scaling a 4k monitor on Windows, have you noticed any software not managing the scaling well or font getting blurry? Also, I'm not sure whether to buy a 32" 4k, or a 34" 2k ultrawide. What do you think? p.s. I don't play video games. I hope you can reply. Thank you man!
Yes, that happens...so far none of the major big name apps are blurry for me.
@@PoolarityChannel Thank you.
@@MaxRiley hi, so did you purchase the 4k 32' monitor or 2k 34' monitor? Is the text too small on the 4k?
@@jinc2461 Hi, I bought both and immediately decided to keep the 32" 4K and return the 21:9 as the latter is too large and not tall enough. Yes, the text is too small at 4K with scaling 100%, and I have set the windows scaling at 150% which makes it just great. If you have good sight also scaling at 125% is ok and you will have plenty of room on your desktop. the 32" 4K is bigger and is sharper, also a better form factor. I hope it helps.
@@MaxRiley i sit only 23 inches away will 32 inch 4k be good or give eye strain? i wear specs
Around 110ppi works well.
Why is 150 recommended when native resolution is 100? Thanks.
Because the font is 2mm tall at 100. Very hard to see what you're doing.
Great video! I currently run an old 24" Asus ProArt @ 1920x1200 with a windows 125% scaling. I am planning to get a 27" 4k, can't go 32" cause of the space, but want 4k HDR. Do you think I can manage a similar windows scaling on the 4k even like at a higher 200% or so?
Is the mouse cursor at 100% resolution in windows 11 as small as it is in QHD 1440p? I just bought a laptop and I can barely see the text.. ect. I am hoping it's just like 1080 size x4?
Does display scaling have any impact on performance? I've heard that people who use Macs have some sort of issue with scaling, however I believe(?) this is unique to Macs, and not Windows. Thanks! :)
it’s called UI scaling, i thought you were running different resolutions on your 4k monitor
Thanks for a great video.
I think a lot about if I should go for 1440 or 2160. But I think I'm going for 2 monitors with 27 inch. It's a hard decision. If I go with 1440 it will be a lot cheaper but I'm afraid I will regret that I didn't go with the 4K.
This is why videos like this is super good. So thanks again. I will probably go with 4K, maybe even 32 or 34 inch. If I can fit them on my desk...lol.
For this demo to be optimal, shouldn't you have had 32" 2K monitor to compare? Thanks.
Yes, I think so. The bigger doubt here is between a 32" 4K or 32" 2K.
@@gandalfearth5336which is ideal choice. 2k 32inch or 4k 32inch
Thanks mate, very good content
Does display scaling somewhat defeat the purpose of 4K? 150 is recommended scaling? Howw does RUclips look in 4k on 32" monitor with video enlarged to full screen contrasted with 27"monitor? Thanks.
Ok, saw you answered. I take it, therefore, for 4k, since recommending 34", no doubt 32" better than 27" for 4k monitor? Thanks.
Great video!
Hi, do you think a single 32" 2k would be good for multitasking (coding)?
I don't think a 2k is enough. I use to have a 2k, but I decided to go for a 4k, especially just for coding to get those extra extra lines of code in there along with the side panels for the IDE and documentation.
@@PoolarityChannel Thanks for your sharing :)
@@PoolarityChannel but what about two 27 monitors for coding? 4k and extra lines are nice, but i think on 27 they will be too smal for comfortable reading, am i wrong?
this was helpful. thanks.
dude people need it only for games. why the fuck someone needs watch browser in full hd on 4k monitor
