I even had to set it to 204% now because my eyes get worse with age. But the sharpness of the text is still very good. 4K is great for reading on the internet in particular and is very comfortable for me to read. And Studio One has a "high DPI mode" that displays the symbols, buttons and text very sharply.

 

Bro, I use Benq ex2710q

What BEST about this is my eyes have Never Pained due to long usage and its been 2 years !! It has some Technology - Insane useful and eye pleasing.

This is the only feature which cant be taken for granted, rest everything can be done from settings.

 

That is great news that you have found a product that allows you to live and work happily and healthily.
I have just read the test - good values - good display - good price.

 

people used 2 17" 1280x1024 monitors, basically equal to one 2560x1080 ultrawide,
then 2 21" 1920x1080 monitors, basically equal to one 3840x1080 xultrawide or roughly 3440x1440 ultrawide,
but everyone needs indeed may be different,
for audio work and monitoring sweetspot, my 34" screen is already borderline obstructing speakers,
there is no way to fit bigger screen inside that equilateral monitoring triangle, unless having screen further and increasing scaling again, wasting pixel space again

 

It's good that you're addressing the problem with the monitoring triangle. I sit further away from the screen every year because my eyesight gets worse. I have a special pair of 2+ diopter glasses just for the PC.

Many manufacturers are finally scaling their plugins. Everyone does it the way they want. Arturia is always criticized for the large number of PNGs, but the resolution and readability are exemplary. Waves has also got the hang of it and all Waves plugins are easy to scale. Vector-based is great anyway. But some plugins are poorly scaled and then go over the lower or upper edge.

Musicians have a small market share, the large market share is gamers, and LED monitor manufacturers position themselves accordingly. There are also manufacturers for graphic design and video editing.

But sometimes I wish I had a 4:3 monitor instead of a 16:9 monitor. Jean Michelle Jarre also has a monitor with a 4:3 format, so he can judge all the tracks better. Example: 21.3 inches = 1,600 x 1,200 pixels. I also watch movies on my monitor and love the 16:9 format.

 

The proportions of the GUI are simply odd imo bad usability especially for people who refuse to wear glasses
I have the same discomfort when using StudioOne that why I prefer Logic

maybe in few more years, some advanced comfortable VR glasses will solve all that, not blocking the speakers at all

 

Bought a Samsung G5 32" during the pandemic. Was the only thing available locally (that week) which was not over priced. Was trying to replaced a 32 Viewsonic that suddenly died. Have had no issues other than Windows & NVIDIA drivers not scaling fonts & icons properly until recently. 475.14 version drivers seem to have resolved the issue.

NVIDIA Control Panel is set to
Refresh Rate: 120Hz
Resolution: PC 2560 x 1440 (native)
NVIDIA color settings: SDR (30-bit), 10 bpc, RGB, Full

I also have the Windows Display Settings app disabled. All settings are controlled from monitor settings & NVIDIA Control Panel.

Nexus scales properly up & down. All settings are retained/restored when opened in Reaper, Samplitude, Ableton, Pro Tools & Studio One 7.

 

Forgot all about that fun part. With my pair of 27"s, they're mounted on a dual arm in the center of my desk on the monitor riser and are lined up side by side. I've got about an inch of space on each edge before they run into my monitors. No Ultrawides for me hah. I could move the speakers out a bit more but then that means I'd be moving my chair way back to listen back to stuff and then move back up to work, move back to listen, I'd have to move my console, etc. Nah.
