Choosing between the 29" and the 34" 21:9 Ultrawide monitors

[@warmlycalculated390]

The twist on "that's what she said" you made at around 2 minutes took me a second to piece together, but my god, it was an excellent joke.

[@SiimKuusik]

The sentences have been always something like "Do you really need something that big?" or "Isn't this a little too big for ya?" or "Now mine looks too small in comparison".

[@warmlycalculated390]

Really well-put. I might have to steal it for myself! BTW, I'm American but I like to think I'm okay with accents. You Finnish? Estonian? Your English is great so I'd guess Sweden but your lilt is just a bit too Baltic to be Northern Scandinavian. Of course I'm probably totally wrong and you're actually from the Faroe Islands or something lol

Well, of course KZbin didn't notify me about your last comment for some reason :( BUT, you have a really good ear or you just guess very well.

Yo, first video I watch about ultra wide monitors that I enjoy. You understood what many others didn’t, that we’re here to see the monitors! You filmed them under many angles plus many times with you aside to help us have an idea of their sizes. Perfect.

[@SiimKuusik]

Sourand you get it! Thank you for the very kind words and hope I could be helpful to you in your decision. See you around :)

[@adamhughes9938]

I can tell you the benefit of the curve. As a programmer, I split the screen and put code on left side and browser on right side. The curve prevents me from having to turn my neck as far to see both the left and right of the screen. The difference is slight but over a long period of work, will prevent neck strain.

[@SiimKuusik]

That is very excellent point Adam! That's is exactly why this size has a curve to begin with, just to be easier for the neck. Hope your serves you for years to come like mine has for 6 years now.

[@Mr_Tea_Rexx]

wouldn't it be a issue for modelers and artists tho ???

[@SiimKuusik]

The curve is subtle and they did take into account designers.

[@aldredd]

One good use case for the 29in, is that there seem to be a few which can pivot to portrait mode. A lot of people (esp programmers) love a portrait mode second screen, and a 21:9 portrait screen looks awesome! For my first foray into 21:9 involves a 38in monster of a screen!

[@SiimKuusik]

The 38 inch is an absolute monster. Congrats David. Yeah portrait mode on 29" monitors is rather a rare thing but I can imagine this being awesome for web developers also :)

Great review. Happy to see something from a non-gamer

[@SiimKuusik]

Hector Santana Thanks Hector, and thanks for calling it a review. Hope this was useful to you.

[@LapisDemon]

I've seen many many videos about UW monitors as my 16:9 24" monitor recently broke I've had to buy a new one, a 29" 1080p UW, as the same resolution on 34" is "too pixelated" if you use the monitor for things like graphics and the likes, and 34" in 1440p is just too expensive (I'm not buying used monitors, I got no problem to buy used stuff, just not such newer monitors on the expensive end; I bought my old 4:3 replacement and holiday monitors used though, as I know they are sturdy). "Curved" _does_ make a difference by the way if you use the monitor for graphics. Just think of straight lines on a curve.. not easy to deal with :) So it really highly depends on the _main purpose_ of the monitor: Gaming? Graphics? Video Editing? Documents? Anything for business workflow, be it documents, video editing, graphics making, should be already fine in 29" straight/not curved (= less expensive) - of course 34" would give you even more space. Another thing most people not think about is that about 29" seems to be the largest (affordable) 21:9 screen in which you can have Pivot - turning the monitor by 90°, which is a blessing, not only for long documents or websites. That was another point for me personally why I chose the 29" monitor, as my usage of it is just different. Generally, curved doesn't seem to make a huge difference on 29", so I'd recommend curved not below 34" (many people recommend it as such, also on monitors on Amazon etc., and as it's a cost factor, it can be safely ignored on 29"). As for Gaming, curved seems to be able to immerse people better into the game, as 34" monitors are, as you know yourself, quite large/wide, so if the curved ends are pointed a bit towards you, that seems to improve on the immersion factor greatly. Same surely goes for watching movies and the likes. I don't want to criticize your opinion, but, despite what the majority in the comments say, for me personally this video was not very informative, comparably, to other videos about that topic I've watched. I also prefer information to be "more neutral", trying to see more perspectives, give people more alternatives, dependant on their very own personal usage scenario. But then again you're not a review channel, so I guess it's okay to present it more biased :) I understand it's just your personally biased opinion and experience and you wanted to keep it short and funny, but maybe I'm just not the type for "that's what she said" jokes :) TLDR: Due to the video title and the brevity of the video, I went into this video expecting more "neutral" information, more concise, more options, more info overall, but that's not your fault but on my end, expectation-wise :)

[@SiimKuusik]

I'm genuinely happy to see that you really took time to analyse what this video is and what it is not :) I totally agree, that this video is not that informative, but again that was not the intention (as you also noticed also), rather a "reaction/entertaining/few jokes here and there thrown in" video. I drew the line at the resolution side of things, since once I start to factor in resolutions of those monitors, I have to address sitting distances and so on, I just wanted to keep it short and simple. As for the 34" 1440p I completely agree that it is way too expensive and that's why I bought it used for 480€ (new 800€) and no chance I would drop 800€ on a computer monitor. The 29" I showed in the video didn't even have pivot, you got a good 29 inch there, good job. The curve radius on my monitor is rather small, so this probably affected my conclusion on the curve part as well. Thank you again for such a great thorough review of my "thoughts" video :)

[@LapisDemon]

I was really really hesitant to write anything at all, because we creators sometimes get enough crap from strangers in our comments as well as in real life, and I'm rather positive and nice to people, than negative and "bashing" them (unless they are e.g. bad or greedy people). I think I was possibly just upset that you made it seem like a general suggestion without really having the individuality of other peoples' use-cases in mind, and also that I went into this video with a complete different expectation, as I tried to explain. - And, I'm not prude at all, but the "that's what she said" joke would have been enough to be mentioned once ;) If you would have be a jester throughout the whole video, hearing an innuendo repeatedly wouldn't have me confused at all, but you really tried to speak your thoughts, where you are coming from, why you've made that decision to buy that monitor, so the "that's what she said" more than once somehow felt "unfitting", as you didn't come off like a guy who would need that "low" type of joke to make a point or to make it a bit funny. Another thing I forgot to mention: Your previous monitor was a 27", mine was a 24". You were used to a larger monitor than I was, before you bought your UW monitor. The (visible/screen) height of a 34" monitor resembles around the height of a 27" 16:9 monitor, whereas a 29" monitor got around the height of a 24" monitor. That's another reason why a 29" would suffice for someone like me, whose previous monitor was just a 24", and why it would feel so small for someone like you, coming from 27". - You really shouldn't thank me, like I said, I was really hesitant to write anything at all. This is your channel, your content, your way to express yourself, and as long as you're not a bad guy towards others, it shouldn't be a stranger's place to tell you what to do or what not to do, or it shouldn't really be important if they like your videos or if they don't, as long as YOU are happy with the outcome :) So, sorry again, in case I may have hurt your feelings a little bit or so, I'm also just a normal human being and got loads of stress in real life currently, which may have subconsciously led to that I felt I "had to" comment at all, although - I hope - I was still "human enough" in my criticism, and not a "b!tch" ;) Have a nice week! Meri

[@SiimKuusik]

I really appreciate the responses I get from you Meri. Thank you! You seem like an interesting person who knows what she wants and says. You didn't hurt my feelings at all, don't worry. All I heard was some really good constructive feedback, most likely the MOST constructive out of the 487 comments this video has so far. You are again right about being some what influenced probably me coming from a 27". I check out what you do on the Interwebs and I gotta say, you probably found yourself a new fan on Soundcloud.

[@LapisDemon]

Thank you, but both SoundCloud as well as KZbin are just a hobby and due to real life (which I got to prioritise) I don't do much currently here online, but I plan to add more series/videos about Neurosciences, mainly psycho(socio)logy, which will also contain e.g. how we "de-humanize" others, specifically also in the internet, and may come off harsher than we would, if we would make a real life eye contact ;) To save you time, I try to make it short: I started off (like so many others) as Minecraft channel, to "balance out" the more serious topics I'm dealing with in real life/on a private sector. I show(ed) mainly the technical side of Minecraft on my channel, expressed aesthetically (command blocks which you can sort of "program" inside that game which I use for often mainly decorative things, and now also resource packs which give me the freedom to expres myself a little bit artistically via graphics). But many internet people who know me since years here from the web came and come to me privately with their real life problems, so I felt more and more that I should add more things, other than Minecraft, so I can help people on a personal, deeper level; that's why I'm currently in the phase of changing my channel, and I'll explain my reasoning in a future video, as soon as the real life stress has become endurable, and gives me some more free time to make videos again. But in my tea breaks I occasionally tweet something, be it about some stuff I create on Minecraft which I will release later, or about some cookie recipes or so ;) Incidentally, I roughly described the person I am (my interests and such, how that came to be) in the video which unsubscribed visitors on my KZbin channel page get to see, the title is: "ChillTalk | My Synaesthesia ~1~ / My Hidden Messages to You", I think that would be a decent first "summary" of "me", if you really want to know. ^ And all of that just shouldn't have led me to criticise you on your video, as this is a bit "out of character" for me, so, again, my apologies, maybe my hormonal status blasted out my rationality/brain there for a little time ;) Take care!

Maybe put the side by side shots after monitor introductions?

[@SiimKuusik]

Thanks Andrew for the feedback! I really would make the same with waay differently yeah nowadays, since you are not the only one who is asking for some side by sides. I should have known better. $239 for 34 inch monitor is a killer deal. Did you get one? Which one and with what resolution Andrew?

[@aditya50499]

The price jump from 29" to 34" is not much, but to compensate for the reduction in pixel density, one would have to look at a 2K ultrawide 34" monitor instead of WFHD. That makes the price difference substantial.

[@SiimKuusik]

That is a fair point Aditya and at the time of making this video I didn't realise that a 29" inch monitor doesn't come in 2K (or 1440p) resolution (as far as I can tell, I couldn't find any). I didn't bring the resolution into this video because then I would also bring the sitting distance from the monitor into the video and then the video would be 20 minutes long. I was hoping everyone would just assume both monitor are the same resolution in this video.

[@joejoe570]

The one you showed is 25'' and 34'' is high and difficult to lower unless you use a custom stand. positioning windows should be in the center and it is not possible in both. Where as a 49'' inch allows center + 2 on the sided + curved. So curious how you would compare a 34'' to 49''

[@SiimKuusik]

The box on the table says 73cm and right under it is the model number that starts with a 29, so this is 29 inch monitor in the video, but to your other point: the 34" (which is on my desk to this very day actually) can be lowered to almost touch the desk btw, so no problems here with the height. I cannot compare to a 49" one, since I still haven't used one so far, but most likely I'm not going to either since this seems a bit of a ergonomic nightmare and also I'm more interested in the QD-OLED high refresh rate Ultrawide panels at the moment.

[@SiimKuusik]

Now, after 4 months, did you get a monitor and which one did you end up getting? :)

[@dexter_hacks]

Do you need 1440p on 34" or 1080 is enough?

[@SiimKuusik]

Since you are sitting a little bit further away compared to a smaller monitor anyway, then I would go as far as to say that you will perfectly fine with 1080 even when you are coming from a 27" 1440 monitor.

[@grigory1110]

Nope it is not enough. I had LG 34UC79G, I could see pixels if I was sitting a bit closer to monitor, and image was not so smooth, ppi in 1080 34 inch is around 80, it's way too low, after my laptop which has ppi around 117, that was very noticeable difference, so I had to send it back to shop where I bought the monitor. However, when it comes to gaming 34 1080 is enough, and it feels so awesome, it is very different gaming experience, in a good way of course. If gaming go for 1080, if everything else but not gaming go for 1440

[@SiimKuusik]

Thanks for the elaborate comment Gri MMy :) Yeah, since we don't know if deXter_J is going to use the monitor for mainly productivity or mainly gaming, we can't really answer that yet.

[@dexter_hacks]

Both :-) Productivity(web development/viewing code) would be better on 1440, I guess. But, I already bought a RX 480 for my current 1080 monitor. An 1440 ultra-wide, along with a GTX 1070 will really set me back on the $$$.

[@grigory1110]

I mean, gaming on 1440 34inch as long as you don’t need 144 Hz is ok, I suppose. Anyway you still can lower your resolution while gaming, also go to shop and see 34inch first cuz I don’t think you really realize how big it is, may be you do, but I didn’t before I bought it(even after watching those reviews pictures etc.). If you don’t need 144 Hz, then go for 1440, but if you go for 1080, there is a great chance that you will be disappointed with resolution and image quality as I was. As coding is important for you, so you need to deal with a lot of text(code) sometimes, fonts on 1080 will look a bit squarish (square), you will get a feeling that fonts consist of many squares and fonts will be very pixelated(sorry idk how to describe that feeling you need to see it yourself)

this ultrawide monitor of 34 inches in 16: 9 is equal to one of 25, 27 or more inches, when watching videos at 16: 9? sorry for my English

[@SiimKuusik]

Hey Jesus! I don't really get the question because 34 inches is equal to 34 inches. I guess you are maybe asking about the height about the monitor? 34 inches is a bit lower than 27 inches from the eyesight.

[@KowaiMaou]

Necroing this comment, but what Jesus wanted to hear was that: Yes, a 34 inch ultrawide is effectively a stretched 27 inch screen. Likewise, a 29 inch ultrawide is a basically a 24 inch stretched screen. A 25 inch ultrawide would then be a 21 Inch monitor, stretched horizontally. So when watching videos at 16:9 on a 34 inch screen, it should be roughly the same experience as on a 27 inch monitor. Which is basically what was already said in the other reply indirectly 😐

@@SiimKuusik nailed it! Yeah, I'm currently running music DAWs using two 27", thinking about switching to a single ultrawide 34". I've noticed that when I'm not using the second screen the DAW is working slightly better and faster. Also getting finally rid of that middle part of the screen is pretty much tempting! Two tasks simultaneously are my standard situation so I'm thinking an ultrawide could make the job!

[@Underhills]

Curved is hopeless for creative production. No images is curved, it's a pointless gimmick and it messes with any autentic aspect ratio. I get the super wide concept, that's practical in some scenarios. But having four documents open side by side and seeing the leftmost and rightmost document curve is totally stupid. Who needs to read text in a curved angle? Get a flat super wide instead.

[@SiimKuusik]

Thanks for the thoughts, but you don't even notice the curve while sitting in front of the monitor. On this particular Dell the curve is so subtle, that even IF you remember that you are sitting in front of a curved monitor, you don't notice ANY kind of screen angles or distortions. I promise you. I actually regretted the sentence in my video: "You will NOT notice the curve in a couple of hours", I would love to change it to "minutes" actually.

Kinda regretting opting for a 25!" ultrawide now >.>

[@SiimKuusik]

Depends on what you want from your monitor also. Do you game at high refresh rates?

[@TheGrooveMoose]

Paid in full! Thank you!

[@SiimKuusik]

Good job on getting to 323 Moose

[@fetB]

well, not seeing the curve, is the whole point, isn't it. The idea being to not have a negative sideffect from teh AR

[@SiimKuusik]

Yeah, after making the video it dawned on me also.

[@tracy_youngblood8751]

Love how u are reading the scenario and not looking to camera xd

[@SiimKuusik]

Thanks Kristiāns! I mean I tried :D You're from Latvia?

[@tracy_youngblood8751]

Siim Kuusik yes :)

[@SiimKuusik]

Then hello there neighbour! 🇱🇻

[@flat4wankel]

got the 29" ultrawide lg for $180. not bad for just gaming, movies, and..... pr0n.

[@SiimKuusik]

That is a steal. You live in the States flat4wankel?

[@flat4wankel]

Siim Kuusik yes, sir, i do :)

[@SiimKuusik]

You are a lucky man! A fellow LinusTech fan here as well ;)

[@quynhton8488]

Thank you!

[@SiimKuusik]

Glad I could help. Are you planning to upgrade your monitor Quỳnh Tôn ? What monitor do you currently have?

[@uklcourses9636]

Good video. The joke at the end made me subscribe to you.

[@SiimKuusik]

That means a lot! Thanks. Hope to see you around maybe in my weekly livestreams even.

[@reagans369]

will 34 inch better than 32 inch

[@SiimKuusik]

34 inches is a more common resolution nowadays I feel like and I am sure some older games will support 34 more than 32 I feel like. Although I am not much of a gamer. If you're doing pretty much anything else the difference pretty small for you to notice I feel like. For what price did you / or are planning to get the 32" inch S369 ?

[@reagans369]

ya i wnt to buy 32 inch 4k monitor i want it for long term use also if 34 inch would be a better choice i would choose 34 inch i ll buy a cheaper monitor now n upgrade to 34 later which would be better bro i will be doing editing and a medium gaming

[@SiimKuusik]

@@reagans369 Curious what did you end up getting Reagan and did you make the right decision with it? :)

[@owengune]

I have the 34 inch Dell I love it, you'll never regret going huge.

[@SiimKuusik]

Said also every woman ever.

[@SiimKuusik]

Mini Displayport to Display port will work with MacBook Air early 2015

[@SiimKuusik]

If you have an Macbook Air 2015, I am not completely sure, but I would rather say "yes" than "no". My Macbook Pro 15" 2012 is perfectly capable of doing 60 Hz.

[@Windwalker95]

except if it doesn't fit on your desk.

[@SiimKuusik]

A big desk or a VESA mount ;) I sincerely hope you have enough room, since you will regret.

[@louisvantonder5068]

The small one is the 25" Ultrawide, not the 29"... ?

[@SiimKuusik]

Nope the small one is a 29" Ultrawide as the title says. At 0:53 that is my previous 27" monitor (not Ultrawide) and at 4:12 that same monitor again with another 27" monitor. There are no other monitors in the video.

[@HammadKhanYT]

Was this video helpful? Oh yes

[@SiimKuusik]

Do I love this comment? Oh yes

[@dreamcatcher478]

I will consider to upgrade 34 inch soon, but I think for now I will stick with 29inch. Finance is my first concern on this.. =(.. Great video through!

[@SiimKuusik]

Yeah, a decent 34" is some serious money. Whatever you do, please don't go with a 1080p 34" (which are cheaper) but you will hate how pixelated everything will look 👾

[@SiimKuusik]

At least 1440p ;)
