Being able to watch a video and take notes on the same monitor is just so nice for studying. Or if I am following instructions in a browser window I don't need to copy something, move a window and then paste it everything is just right there for me. Might not be multitasking but space makes the one task a lot more comfortable for sure.

Agreed!!

They don't really make you more productive, but the screen real estate is insanely convenient for software engineers for example. On my Samsung neo g9, I can open 6 terminals side by side and which gives me a lot more flexibility when looking through a project.

@Skeware 10 ай бұрын

@@NickKendall it does make me more productive if it allows me to have combinations of two applications opened and visible enough to be comfortable to work on each without constantly maximizing and minimizing. Combos of 2 between email, browser, excell, photoshop, illustrator, code editor, image viewer, etc... also even opening notepad and leave it visible for a while can save me time. That's productivity to me :) Note: I use a pen tablet monitor for Photoshop (or drawing apps), and having the possibility of combos of 2 other apps on the other monitor really helps, if not to save time, at least for the convenience.

What do you think about ultrawide versus triple monitors?

@BigTacious Жыл бұрын

This is a great video, and applies well for people who work with excel/PDFs on a daily basis. They're tremendously helpful for quick comparisons between two excel workbooks, not quite multitasking but very helpful. For gaming, ultrawide shines best with 3rd person games like RDR2, Uncharted 4, and racing/other 3rd person shooters.

Once you go ultra wide you can't go back. I can't anyway. Curved screen takes some time getting used to, straight lines aren' t 'straight', but that's no issue for me, could be depending on what you're doing. If it takes too much space, get a 3rd party stand that clamps at the back of your desk. There are loads around. So great, I'm getting another one for my backup pc.

I am really torn between these two monitors... the LG 38WN95C has great refresh rate and does not need scaling.. the 40WP95C-W would allow to see 4k content at native res, but has only 75Hz refresh rate and I do fear that it will force me to scale things up to be able to read file names etc...] Any final thoughts or advice on this?

@Ciiads Жыл бұрын

You said you don't think is more productive but for me its gonna save a lot of time, i can code and run the hardware simulation at the same time on multiple tabs without minimizing each tab thats a good thing. it save a lot of time for software developers because the screen space is really a matter like referring multiple pages on different books at the same time without closing and reopening it
