Hi,
Is LG 34 Inch 34WP500B / 34WP500-B a good buy? Never had Ultrawide before so thought I might try to give this one a go. https://shopee.com.my/LG-34-Inch-34WP500B-3...f1-4f8a7c4cb294 It is within my budget. |

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Jul 15 2022, 08:14 AM) This Ultrawide is 1080p+, so everything look kind of big and less working space. 34" is equal to 27" widescreen, which means it is not that sharp for 1080p. It is also only 75hz which no very smooth experience. If you ok within this two then for that price, I think it is good to go. I'm currently using a 27" 1080 monitor. Few ultrawide (below 34") I saw at shop often look smaller (in height) which was why I avoided earlier.  Also, what do you mean by not that sharp for 1080p? Since I am okay with current 27" 1080p, does it mean the ultrawide version of 1080p+ is not as sharp? I am okay with 75Hz, not a gamer that need 100+ fps and perfectly fine playing 60fps games. |

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Jul 15 2022, 10:57 AM) Because most people find 1080p look less sharp for screen size 27" and above. I am also ok previously. But once I use 1440p for 27" and now I no longer like 1080p in 27". 1080p is best resolution for 24/25" and below. 1080p still look good on my 27" so if the sharpness of the 34" ultrawide remain the same as 1080p I am okay with it. I think 1440p ultrawide cost too much, out of my budget.Plus, I feel 1440p is a waste because I really cannot consume a pure 4K video content. Maybe if I decide to go for monitor that is a 32" 16:9, then 1440p is acceptable for me. QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Jul 15 2022, 10:57 AM) The Hz is not only gaming related, it is also obvious on Windows smooth animation, same as mobile phone where most people can notice the smoothness of 90hz and above vs 60hz. It is very obvious especially on Windows 11 Start Menu animation part. Off course this is also same before you use better you won't notice the difference, once you use 120hz and above screen, most people will no longer can return back to 60hz. I don't care much about gaming beyond 75Hz. 60fps games looks okay enough to me and I barely game on PC anyway. I also don't care much about Windows animation too as I don't see any benefit to it a more smoother transition. The main reason I want either bigger screen (32", 16:9, 1440p) wider (34", 21:9, 1080p) is to be able to see multiple windows opening at once. For gaming wise, if the games you play reach more than 75fps, you will need to cap the fps, else tearing will appear as G-Sync/freesync is support up to the maximum screen hz you have, this is the reason higher hz is better. Using vsync to control its not recommended as this impact high latency to the games which make input lag to games. QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Jul 15 2022, 10:57 AM) Shop mostly only have 29" demo set which is equivalent to 24" monitor. Looks like 34" is good for ultrawide for me. You can use this site for calculation the monitor height in different aspect ratio. https://www.omnicalculator.com/other/screen-size In general. - 49" (32:9), 34" (21:9) and 27" (16.9) same height. - 43" (32:9), 29" (21:9) and 24" (16:9) same height |
