Re: New Monitor
Pro Tools is still not optimized for 4K screens so that might not work so well(at least for us Windows users). As for curved screens, I'm still on the fence on whether they cause any odd reflections. For the last several tears, I have stuck with 1920x1080, but am also interested in the ultra-wide screens as an option. Personally, I'd die if I were stuck with a single screen and have run 2(and sometimes 3). Currently running a pair of 32" monitors stacked(the lower one is laid back like you would for a touchscreen, though it isn't).

Re: New Monitor
I had a 29 inch Dell UltraSharp monitor which was 21:9 and ran it at 2460x1440. After 6 years it started to have an issue along the very bottom of the screen. I would have happily replaced it with another UltraSharp, but could not find one with that aspect ratio and DVI Dual Link input, needed for my KVM switch. I bought an ASUS Designo MX299Q 29 inch, 21:9 monitor. It too runs at 2460x1440. Not quite as good as the Dell, but fine for my needs. As always, YMMV.

Re: New Monitor
Before settling on either an ultra wide or curved monitor, go and sit in front of one.
Ultra wide is ok depending on size and positioning, but personally, I wouldn’t use a curved display. The distortion on the image is unbearable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
