Bought a Dell U3219Q 32” 4K, today arrived! wub.gif

Before..Dell U2515H 25” 2K as main monitor, LG 27” 4K as 2nd monitor

Retire the 27” LG, hard to calibrate and dim af compared to Dell monitors

Recalibrating both display (using the MacBook display as reference and my eyeballs)
user posted image

After..32” 4K as main, 25” 2K as 2nd monitor
user posted image

Some notes:

32” 4K running on native resolution without scaling is a bit tiny on macOS (arm length from monitor)..but plenty of screen estate for multitasking
IMO it looks like sitting in front of a TV at arm length

TB3 -> displayport >>>>> USB-C -> displayport
Mac mini 2018 doesn’t play nice thru USB-C
MBP M1 works fine via USB-C, but later I noticed that I can see the screen slightly flickering (TB3->DP no problem)

Monitor KVM is great, can switch between the Mini and MBP easily

Sekian, my home office upgrade

i used to look at 4 monitors too for forex trading before i learned AI and programming. Now just automate my trading. 32k dell is 4.7k. really ex. I have a 32" 2560x1440 only 1.2k and 43" 4k only 2.5k . but yours is infinity screen. but response time 5ms not good for gaming. Not sure but I thought I have seen 4k 32" with response time 1-2 ms. think its the sg company monitor

32" 1440p so pixelated no? the 25" 1440p is perfect IMO. how's the 43" on 4K from arm length? what's the scaling?

ah, I don't game, just work stuff and basic usage, so the extra response time isn't too important. mainly as long it's IPS, I'm happy

wah gila i think it wouldve burnt out by then

this makes me so skeptical to upgrade my monitor, cause its already so good that theres no reason to upgrade to any current? doesnt seem to have huge defining features to justify

don't like Samsung monitor, especially any gaming themed product

can't justify an XDR display for now, so ultrasharp series is my to go

yea, I was actually quite surprised it was still running fine after such abuse laugh.gif hopefully can last another 5+ years, no plan to retire yet

tbh, if the monitor is still ok and u are used to the sharpness of the text on 25" 1440p, no need for upgrade unless u are really in need a lot of screen estate.

I felt that going bigger (not 27") with the same 1440p kinda view would be best
best if the pixel per inch is similar or higher than the U2515H (117 ppi)? for e.g. U3219Q is at 140 ppi

the dilemma for someone trying to update but cant find anything worthy haha

when i manual trade didn't do well that was before i study finance, AI, programming. Manual trade very high chance to lose money cos so many TIs, you dont know which one will work. While using AI, it is smart enuf to know which TIs works and which dont. depends on which ML model u use. I just coded my forex trading about 4 days ago, just demo trade ytd. made about 10 pips so wasn't bad
