Ultra Widescreen Monitors
By: Chiprocks1 Date: December 11, 2016, 5:34 pm

Okay, I have been flirting with the idea of doing Dual Monitors,
but before I go there, I was curious if any of you guys have
that kind of setup at home or at work and what your thoughts are
on it. If the Dual Monitor thing doesn't pan out, I'm also
looking at upgrading to an Ultra Widescreen Monitor to replace
my current one. This option is more likely for me as I have very
limited real estate that I don't think two floating monitors
would work for me, but I also want your advice and opinions on
Ultra Widescreens if you have that as your main setup. I won't
be getting a 4K monitor because my PC is old by today's
standards and it wouldn't even come close to running that kind
of content.

So I have the dual screen setup at work. Wide screen Side by
side. I'm guessing it might be a total of 30 inches across? I
like the setup because I can use the two screen method of fully
opening an application in either/both screens. Working multiple
applications together. All aplications are in my bottom left
monitor tray.
Or if I like, I can stretch my Excel file all the way across
both screens. Some applications just require a larger spread.
I have the large IMac single monitor at home. I played with the
idea of dual monitors at home, but nothing I do at home requires
multiple monitors. My screen is big enough to have multiple
applications spread out across the monitor. I believe the IMac
has instant access to multiple screens (which you setup), I just
haven't tried it. I love the large screen for home because my
eyes are getting bad and the screen is working real well for me.
It's simple, large and takes up about 2/3 of my desk. Just
enough room to have a few things on top. At times I wish I had
an L-shape desk, but I deal with what I have fine.
Personally I love the idea of a ultra wide screen. It's cleaner.

If your liking the dual monitor setup, there's companies out
there for providing support solutions, that may help with the
real estate issue. Brackets and monitor holding options. For

Thanks for the additional info. I'm torn between which way to
go. They both appeal to me for different reasons. Will be
looking into both as far as pros and cons go.

Just caught this earlier in the week. Not something I'd normally
consider, but a lot of reviewers have been touting this as a
legit alternative to the overpriced name brands out there. The
only downside for me is that this doesn't have good color
reproduction. I wonder if its something that can be fixed with
software update. If yes, then I'd give this a serious second
look.

Interesting reviewer... a little goofy (hopefully due to the
cold and drugs), but he backs up his review with with some
serious research.
I'm not sure about your comment of software updates. Is that
possible? I've never had a TV or monitor capable of getting
better than a factory production output, with any kind of
update.
Maybe times have changed, and that's possible today?
It's the old adage, and he said it as well, you get what you pay
for.

He's a very reputable reviewer that I have been following for a
couple of years now. And yeah, he sounds like that all the time
and his goofieness is part of his character....er persona. While
most are very serious in nature, he tends to be the opposite
while giving out valuable information on whatever he is
reviewing at the time. As for Updates, everything is possible
these days. But since this is a company I've never heard of
(i.e. very small company), I wouldn't expect them to have the
infrastructure or man power to devote a team to work on updates
if there goal is just to captitalize on selling as many monitors
as they can before the next company beats them in price).

The top tier UltraWide is the Acer Predator 34-inch Curved
UltraWide QHD and that comes in at $1,200. So, by that benchmark
you will be able to gauge how good of a deal this is. Granted,
it's dependent if this comes with all the bells and whistles
that the Acer has.
