That issue, of course, revolves around clarity.Īs someone who is accustomed to Retina (HiDPI) displays, transitioning back to lesser clarity was going to present the biggest challenge. How does this new display fit into my workflow? Does having a so-called UltraWide display make a difference? The issue with resolutionīefore I even received this monitor, I knew that I would have to overcome one major issue if I was going to be able to use it long term. LG’s 34UC98 UltraWide IPS monitor is not only extremely wide at 3440 x 1440, but it’s curved as well. With this in mind, I’ve been looking forward to going hands-on with a 21:9 display.
The extra horizontal real estate is also a nice option for watching movies shot with a 2.39:1 aspect ratio. With the recent popularity of extra-wide 21:9 monitors, I’ve come to understand that width can make a major difference in managing timeline-based editing workflows as well. When it comes to editing video and audio, the bigger the monitor the better. As someone who uses timeline-based apps such as Logic Pro X and Final Cut Pro X on a regular basis, horizontal display real estate is incredibly important to me.
