Really interesting to see that dual screen setup! Also really like how you dug a little bit into the science of it and how just looking straight to two screens on top of each other, rather than two screens side by, helped you focus more, also reduced potentially damaging neck movements. E-Ink monitors are also now a thing, if rather expensive right now, and apparently coders and other people who spend a lot of time looking at screens have been super interested in them, it would be interesting to see if maybe e-ink dual monitors become a thing as well in the future.

An aspect ratio I would love to see for working monitors is sqrt(2) : 1. This is the only aspect ratio where halving the longer dimension results the two halves with the same aspect ratio as the original, whole screen. The only electronic device I've seen feature this ratio was Google's Pixel Slate tablet. Most reviewers didn't realize why google picked this dimension, but it soon became my favorite aspect ratio for productivity. Please pass on this fact to others! If more people know about it, perhaps we will see more of them on the market.

That would be a nice flight sim monitor giving a deep view of the main instrument panel and the lower overhead panel with normal looking straight ahead. The 60 Hz refresh makes good sense with the inherent control response delays and low view change rates in an aeroplane sim. A real world pilot is focused on scanning what is straight ahead, any full 90 degree offset views needed in the sim would be no harder than with letterbox or ultrawide screens, anyway their peripheral images would be stretched so much that the geometric distortion would absolutely ruin any possible peripheral perception. Again aimed at real word ‘realism’ aeroplane simming not at shoot em up mega frame rate online fun gaming.

It's been a while since I used tiling on Windows, but I think the default hotkeys for this in windows are the Win key + direction (up, down, left, right) to have your current window take up half of the screen in the direction you want. So if you really want to, you don't even need an app to do the re-arranging you're showing around 11:35.

[@soundfx68]

Wow, just tried this and you are indeed correct!

[@DirkJumpertz]

yup, that's correct. You can throw/resize the active app to the sides and corners using that shortcut. Wished it existed on MacOS X.

[@phm6834]

You can even use them to make quarters on your screen. Though fancy zones especially if you tweak the borders away is super perfect.

[@KitOkunari]

Yes, but this function in windows only tiles them to half the screen, with the program PowerToy you can do more than 2 divisions and you can also configure it so when you can configure your own presets of where the windows float or tile in what specific layout you.

[@devkrishanrpurohit5181]

Yes but the powertools lets your own custom divisions stay for ever. Means if i shutdown and come back , and just move any window while holding shift, the layout panes will show up using a semitransparent UI and will not need to set these panes every time. Those panes can also be configured for individual monitors being used at the same time and will also remember which monitor was used with which pane settings too. ITs good. And there are 10 other tools that get added on too, such as custom shortcuts, screen waker, universal spotlight search, image resizer, file bulk renamer, mouse pointer finder ( which is needed at times when you have 2+ monitors ), screen ruler, combined PS and CMD tools in a window. AND also has the neat lil tool to always pull up the default shortcut bindings for tasks in windows, including the shortcut you just mentioned about moving panes. Also while using 2 monitors, users can simply use windows + shift + arrow keys to directly send the window to another monitor. LOVE WINDOWS. Don't think a mac would let you configure all this, right out of the box, or even with ad ons.

[@reinerfranke5436]

Thanks to recommend to focus on eyesight. I will not be as strict to avoid over 30 degree. Actual i use 3x 24 inch 16:10 for about 10y. I work only at the center monitor but using both sidescreens is helpfull for comparison and live contend. I have seen some extend this to 2x3, means two rows. These vertical stacking seems the alternative where 20 degree up is less strain than 30-45 degree left-right. The apps are now most multi-monitor aware but not tiling-aware. That makes is more difficult to work with a 42 inch which has a similar eyesight stretch. For a 2x vertical only i think its a try but cost more than if you stack two 16:9 vertical.

[@helloitsbrian]

I've been thinking about it. I've noticed in my setup (three monitors, one ultra-wide in the middle, flanked on either side by 27" 16:9 displays -- one horizontal, one vertical) there's a lot of neck movement if I want to get to any of the content on the periphery, and I think that that is contributing to some longterm strain and pain. I've found that I've been using my ultra-wide (and the periphery monitors, now that I think about it) less and less as a side-by-side window kind of display, instead tending to use it, fully wide, with just a single thing over the width of the display. I think this monitor makes a lot of sense for a monotasking world, where your work isn't sacrificed to be half a display wide, or on a periphery monitor, but allows you to have a second task close by, also in a native resolution. Not sure if any of that makes any sense, but I appreciate your review, especially going in depth with the viewpoints and neck movements, and how our field of view works.

[@DamiLeeArch]

Yeah that makes sense. It definitely depends on your workflow and the type of work you do, but I like that you mentioned monotasking because that’s how I’m intentionally trying to structure my work these days.

This monitor would be ideal for coding. Vertically oriented 27” monitors normally end up not being wide enough for a line of code and navigation tree on the left.

I read and correct court docs all day. We all hated it when our office switched to widescreen monitors from the older set up with two monitors that were taller.

Also, so many videos come from cell phones now, I think the stupidly ultra wide monitors never made sense and only make less and less sense each year. There's still the problem with offices blithely being sold computers with integrated graphics (Macs and office PCs both). These are never ideal for dual monitors/ultra wide/tall monitor set ups.

Very informative video Dami

[@InfoSopher]

There's a hidden issue with monitors that many people are not aware of that can cause headaches. Basically, many screens flicker at a high frequency in order to reduce brightness. They just turn their backlight on and off so that the average light that hits your eyes per second goes down. I think this is usually only done when going below max brightness setting. This method of reducing brightness is called "pwm". The frequency is typically a few hundred hertz. I have a screen that does that. With its original firmware the pwm frequency was so low that it caused headaches quite a bit for me. But, I now only use it on max brightness with largely dark content. Because of my own experience, I believe this to be a major if not the major cause of headaches when doing screenwork. Therefore I think that it's a hugely underrated issue that should be more reported on.

[@Lee-vb4vh]

Have you found solutions? Maybe higher frequency gaming monitors at over 120mps or maybe curved monitors?

[@InfoSopher]

@@Lee-vb4vh I realize reading your reply that I wrote my comment in a way that is misleading to people not familiar with pwm. At least the first sentence made it sound like it affected all screens. So to be clear. Not all monitors have this issue. There are sites like notebookcheck that give you an overview over which screens (laptops, tablets, phones and monitors) have what kind of pwm behavior. And also measure it on every review. Basically, to me, low (a few hundred hz) pwm frequencies are really problematic. But mostly then, if the screen emits a lot of light, as that increases the effect. It's like a lamp that flickers (because that's what it is). If it's a dim lamp, you won't sense it much, as there isn't that much to sense. There are devices however that either make no usage of pwm or have a very high frequency (some at 20.000 hz) such that it is less of an issue. I don't have a universal solution for it. And it isn't always an issue for me either. But I have to say that the topic is a bit complicated. E.g. I have one cheaper LG IPS 42" screen that has 400hz pwm. But only at reduced brightness. Since this is my main screen, I always run it at 100% brightness. Which however means that I can only display darker content on it. Anything that's brighter creates issues. Most apps support dark mode. But as I write this I realize that it's probably time to start looking for a replacement, since I probably have avoided some apps in the past due to them not have dark mode. Screens on mobile devices are often not that bright. And emit less light even if they are bright (= light per area), just because they are smaller. So I have less issues with pwm on phones and tablets. I have some that outright don't have it and others where I can live with it. I'm not sure about VR devices. I feel like the Quest 3 is hard on the eyes on max brightness. But I can't tell if that is due to the amount of light, or the pwm having a stronger effect. So I use it at reduced brightness and am very fine with it. There's a subreddit just for pwm issues. It's called PWM_Sensitivity. You can find more information and experiences that people have there. edit: It's worth taking note that actual lamps, that you use at home, often use pwm as well. The very old ones (incandescend / filament lightbulbs) don't. But there are also newer ones that are alright I've heard.

@@InfoSopher Ok great thank you InfoSopher for interesting topic. I will have to check out the pwm Reddit posts and other studies. Indeed there are probably many known and unrealized ways eyes can strain and lead to headaches: light color temperature, frequency, font size, Dpi pixel size, HQ, HD, FHD, 4K, 8K resolution, dark light mode, blue light glare, room environment etc. While shopping for monitors, I noticed many new variables and technical developments... It's quite fascinating. Even room ambient lighting is important because the eyes may or may not be comfortable with various light sources nearby. Continued blessings

lol in every fancy resolution monitors, there are big complains are about black bars on the sides or top bottom when watching videos...I don't understand why it is an issue tbh...

[@DamiLeeArch]

It just feels like an incomplete experience 😅

[@KisameSempai]

@@DamiLeeArch I can understand that but I got used to it pretty quickly.

[@wywarren]

I considered getting 3x of these to do a panorama setup but still waiting to see these in person before committing. It'll be harder to sneak in a camera closer to eye level too with this.

[@hoxton_hummingbird]

Really cool workplace! I got my monitor on a wall mount for a couple of months now and it has been a blessing! I'm 1,95m tall and average desks are pretty low for me. So I built a frame that sits agains the wall and includes the same Ikea panels with a wall mount for a monitor in between and a cable channel. It's great, because you get a free table, which you also can use to move around your room, if you need to access multiple sides.

[@Lee-vb4vh]

Does your monitor move from side to side with articulating extension arm?

[@hoxton_hummingbird]

@@Lee-vb4vh I'm able to move it up and down and left to right and even rotate it a bit. It's mostly an issue if cable management, because I run my Displayport, Monitor power, backlight power & data, camera and fire TV stick power through it..

[@Lee-vb4vh]

@@hoxton_hummingbird ok great thanks Zampa! Sounds like a comfortable setup because sometimes we want to change viewing angles for different situations. At times I prefer looking up instead of down. Having a desk and chair that can rise or lower can also help. Continued blessings!

[@hoxton_hummingbird]

@@Lee-vb4vh much appreciated! For me it was the first time I was able to have chair, desk and monitor at reasonable levels. Because of the way it is mounted there's no good way to raise the table, but it's still a better trade-off than anything else in my opinion!

[@alshin5431]

Best thorough review for this monitor! Thank you for the great quality production and being so informative!

[@dplj4428]

Great hands-on review. Multi device features @7:29. Example: the HDMI 1 and 2 can take input from 2 different devices, etc. Bonus tips from @DamiLee covers operations under different OS plus software solutions to work around limitations.

[@KingJerbear]

Really great video, I don't think I'd ever have any sort of reason to need a monitor like this, but you had so much valuable information and the video was interesting enough that I couldn't stop watching. Thanks!

[@surrealchemist]

Somebody I used to work with got the company to buy her a huge dell monitor that was basically like 4 monitors in one screen. You could divide it up multiple ways in quarters or use it as one giant display. It was ridiculous in size though, it was like having a big TV in a cubicle.

[@edrosales1520]

I saw the dimensions and immediately clicked the video. I love it. I want it. Didn't know a monitor could ever be a coveted piece of tech for me but here it is

[@MoraFermi]

I wish there were more monitor formats easily available! 16:9 is bad for everything *except* watching videos.

[@smashonlamez]

Ah chiro's, you should talk to a DPT. More than 30 deg of cervical rotation isn't bad for you. Normal c spine rotation AROM is 60 deg according to AMA. 30 deg in my opinion is very limiting and will actually promote worsening C spine rotation in the long run. Just a thought.

[@Armadurapersonal]

if you use a monitor like this in macos is indispensable to use Rectangle to have more window tiling and resizing options with keyboard shortcuts, like a tilling window manager in Linux

[@ashishtanwar9748]

Nice but I still like 43 qled or oled is the best option

[@fennex2000]

HP had a flip screen a decade ago i loved it... you can use it paysage or portret you just rotate it 90° and it flip automatically

[@tookitogo]

It’s nothing new. The Radius Pivot monitors did that in 1991.

[@jorgecanalesbarrera7090]

5:15 enough with the hate speech, Dami 😅🤣🤣🤣

[@DamiLeeArch]

Hahaha 🤣

[@vfxforge]

thanks for the great review, most other videos were not as detailed.

[@danmurdock4902]

Raycast also has great window management options, is totally free, and is an amazing spotlight replacement.

[@DamiLeeArch]

Nice 👍

[@mene2172]

Great review. Finally someone who is not trying to play a videogame on this productivity monster. If only it was cheaper. I hope Huawei sees this and creates a similarly ratio-ed monitor. Id even buy a 24'' 16:18 monitor in a heartbeat

[@XO43137]

The superwide is great.

[@jerickson_abuel]

Worth it just for the arm tbh. Love my 27" LG ergo!

[@CwbyRob]

Won the day with the 2001 reference. Liked and subscribed thanks for the great video

[@iLiekLemonade]

12:33 incredible, I never knew I was looking for this extention all along; thanks for making me realise that. Subscribed!

[@shirazigs]

WOW! A lot of great amazing information. WOW

[@johnalmighty]

Dami. .. you're teeth are perfect, gzzz.

[@hummel6364]

Reminds me a lot of how I use my old 1050p 8:5 monitor in a vertical setup. Originally I did this for documents, but I found it's also really handy for chat clients, and if you work on command line interfaces a lot. The only problem I have is that the distance between my eyes and that screen is a little too far but that's something I can't currently fix.

[@jac0m1n0]

Outstanding review!! Thanks.

[@mc-mm5vw]

Thanks for taking the time to create this informative video, I actually enjoyed it. Side note, I ordered (2) LG 28 in. monitors for work, I’ll see how it goes. Ciao

[@stampederealty]

I would love to have one of these since for some reason every other real estate agent has 3 screens in their setup, my other "screen" being my Amazon Fire 10.

[@Lee-vb4vh]

Are RE agents using 3 screens in their homes and or office ? I guess one needs an office over a small cubicle desk. Thanks

[@Flastew]

Cool video. Really enjoyed your breakdown of features and uses.
