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

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)


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


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

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

I do numbers but I don't like numpads

plus its a HHKB layout, plus it works better as a Mac keyboard

my desk is actually more than 2m long x 60cm wife takes the left side, my side is 150cm x 60

yes, ideally should set to 3360x1890 HiDPI scaling
but at the moment I want to test whether I can work with the 100% scaling

yes, my favourite monitor after so many years (6 years+ monitor)..
during COVID-19 2020, I went back to MY and forgot to turn off my monitor, end up I stuck in MY one year, my monitor 24/7 on max brightness for one year until I went back to JP
luckily the monitor still fine till today, just need to recalibrate the color a little

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 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

27" on 1440p u get less ppi, no?

the one and only royal blue Tokyo60

so far still surviving waifu came over to JP last year, had to move out of my cheap room and search for a new place.
was blessed that I managed to find a nice detached house with garden and small shed in a really nice neighbourhood in less than 2 weeks

view in front of the house in winter, look nice but spent a lot of time clearing snow
