Ultra-Wide vs 4k

>>programming productivity
fizzbuzz doesn't require 27"+ screen size
Bottom one looks better though

34" ultrawide since movies are closer to that format and 4k is dumb since OS scaling is shit. Also games

>>42958193
ultrawide should be curved
it's too flat

I think some ultra wides can display multiple inputs side by side which is kinda cool. There is also 4k porn which has piqued my interest.

get one 27", even 1440 will be high enough resolution. Then get another when you can

Maximum productivity, 10/10 would use again.

>>42958193
You want 3 cheapish 1080 monitors, middle landscape, sides portrait oriented.

>>42958193
top for productivity/multitasking

bottom for muh vidya

Why the fuck would you ever need an ultrawide monitor? Are you a professional designer / movie editor? No? Stick with 4k.
Ultra wide monitors are the most retarded shit ever.

Ultra-wide is only worth it for office productivity, graphic design, and maybe gaymen. I'd prefer multimonitors though.

The 4k monitor would be best for internet and programming, but movies are going to look worse thanks to virtually nothing being available in 4k.

That said, the best monitor for programming is the widest screen you can find that be reoriented vertically. If you can't find a vertically oriented monitor, then the next best thing is to find the tallest aspect ratio (ie get a 16.10 over a 16:9).

>>42958846
I use visual studio and want seperate space for unit tests and another space for browser/api client to see changes.

>>42958852
>the widest screen you can find that be reoriented vertically
>27 inches tall

>>42958864
I think you would be more productive with 2 x 4k monitors.
Probably would be cheaper too. Ultrawide aren't even good for anything except ultra wide Excel spreadsheets. Shit for gaming, shit for internet (unless you have 3 windows side-by-side you will get a lot of empty space) and shit for movies.

>>42958864
Then do what >>42958834 said and get three monitors. You can do a lot more multi-tasking with three screens than one, even the total resolution is still the same. That way you can have a vertical monitor (or two, or three) for programming and a horizontal monitor for all your daily tasks.

>>42958891
Not my fault you have a short neck or aren't willing to build a custom mount for your 55" vertical monitor.

I'd rather have 2 1440p 27 inch koreans than 1 30 inch 4k. I think as a monitor 4k needs to be 36 inches+ to be any useful from the point of extra screen real estate. Seiki makes a cheap $320 39 inch 4k tv but it only has a refresh rate of 30hz. I would buy it in an instant if it could do 60hz.

>>42958832
rotate the monitor on it's side.

splooge

>>42958893
>shit for movies
16:9 is going to be pretty meh with big side bars
4:3 is going to be hell on earth
However, it's going to be fucking great for movies ported directly from the cinema reel.

>>42958927
Too bad most movies have the top and bottom bars included as part of the video itself. As a result all you get is a lot of empty black space on the left and right and some faggot bars on the top and bottom.

Have fun with with your shoulder/neck problems. You'd have to sit across the room in order to use the damn thing.

>>42958975
You know you can easily cut those bars out, right?
And usually it's already done for you, personally I watch those movies with around a 1/3 of the movie on each side of my additional monitors.
I imagine it would be pretty great without the borders, and with a curve.

>>42958993
Of course I am, I usually limit the browser window to only one monitor.

>>42958893
>Shit for gaming
How are ultrawides shit for gaming?

>>42959027
9/10th of the monitor is blank space. You could have a freaking movie open while shitposting, but instead this is what you do

>>42959058
What makes you think I don't do that?
I also usually have multiple chat windows on the third.

>>42959093
I find it difficult to take you seriously

They don't scale properly for a lot of older games

>>42959202
16:9 doesn't scale a lot of older games either. That's why we have letter boxing for them.
Most newer games though are Hori+, so you'll have a much wider view with 21:9
