The fact that you call $800 reasonable price makes me cry 😂

[@fitocuevas8910]

thats resanonable price for a One for everything. Decent specs on every aspect

It all depends on your bank account. It’s obtainable for sure.

Bro.. you just read my mind and did my work for me.. I have been in the hunt for a monitor with the exact same specifications.. Big thanks!!

​@@mvnfre_music Still This video was perfect for someone like me.... I needed it...

[@jlewis7221]

Thank You Oilur. After hours of research so far this is the very first video OR article that even mentions this model. Like a hidden gem.

[@ItsJustMeStevie]

Fair to say the amount of monitors all depends on the type of work one does. I tend to use Audition and After Effects side by side along with another windows that I tend to use so having 2 monitors is ideal. An iPad is nice when using Gmail and Slack constantly.

[@Trojanpige]

Exactly! I do photo/video editing alongside graphic works and having 2 monitors is a lot better for productivity; especially for video editing. Hell, I might even get a 3rd 15" monitor for better work flow.

[@4CETH4N]

I’m also using a laptop with a single monitor, but I do prefer using a dock rather than using the monitor as the “hub” and power delivery etc. It really convenient to have the laptop only plug into the dock, and everything just works

[@Astar337]

What dock do you use? I've never used a dock but maybe its better than using a monitor like this...

[@4CETH4N]

@@Astar337 I’m using the Dell thunderbolt dock

[@colin6711]

I found Acer nitroXV282K to be interesting as well. Pretty much same specs with the one in video. The only evident difference would be being 28 inch. Currently on sale for around $400. Saw it’s originally $899 on Acer official.

I just bought this monitor, and I'm getting it next week, I was a bit scared that I made a mistake, but your review has alleviated that, thanks!

[@MoonlightAfroFolktales]

Hey how is the monitor for productivity?

[@jesus4japan]

I agree. I had wide screen, 55 inch TV and 43 inch TV for monitor, now I'm using only one 27 inch monitor. One monitor is enough.

This monitor is on sale on Amazon currently and this review has pretty much convinced me to get it. Been looking a while for a solid 4k monitor at a decent price. Early Xmas present this year!

[@emresancaktaroglu6430]

I think MSI 274UPF is the best/performance monitor on the market.

[@Adambroughton29]

I'd be interested to know about MacOS scaling on this, as I'm sure you know it scales in 1440p, so the PPI for this monitor is not optimal, but how noticeable is this. Great video as normal!

[@Oliur]

I show that in the last part of the video. Nothing will be as good as the studio display or Pro Display XDR.

[@mikey9836]

@@Oliur So the Phillips monitor lets you have the unique Mac OS scaling but it's not as sharp because the panel is just not as good. 800 dollar monitor compared to 2K.

[@flottenheimer]

It is very noticeable. And the single reason why I went with (and recommend) the 5K Studio Display.

[@mimandshaindy4906]

It's unpleasant especially on a 32 inch display. If you want 32, look into the Dell 6k as an alternative. For 27 inch, the LG Ultrafine 5k is still available and frequently on sale for 1100. It can be purchased used for $700.

[@PKP1]

I like the idea of this do it all in one monitor. I wish it was like a smart TV with a remote.

[@jakemana]

Jesus... thank you!!! This is exactly what I'm looking for... I need something good for coding on my mac and something good for gaming on my PC... and yes... the aesthetics not be gaming - priceless! Thank you again! You got a sub!

[@harleykervenschery2791]

I think the lg 27gp950-b is pretty good. Although it doesn’t have usb-c

[@zaryl2k]

i got the Dell G3223Q 4K 144Hz 32" gaming monitor. Been using it with my mac mini M2 Pro base model. I also game my PS4 Pro on it too. But then, I had to use a 3rd paid app display manager (DisplayBuddy) and used 2304x1296p resolution in order to get that sweet spot of 120Hz 4K HDR enabled. Using the default resolutions like 1920x1080p makes everything is too large (but HDR option is enabled though) or the 3084x2160p which makes it everything too small (no HDR option available)

[@RedaLazri]

It's insane that no one talks about the Philips! Sadly not available in my country

[@MilosSesevic]

I'm about to switch to Mac from windows since '97. Question: don't all hubs limit the FH to 60hz? Especially in a dual monitor setup?

[@captaintruth3219]

Looks like you must’ve had a lot better luck than me or else it’s just a puff piece. I bought the 4K 27 inch Phillips monitor on 4/10/24 thinking it had met all my criteria, such as 96 W charging, 4K, and 4 year warranty. To my surprise, no USB-C to USB-C cable included. The Quickstart said to not adjust past 5° downward or the screen may fall off. The monitor has very tiny bezels all around so when you try to adjust it, you can see the screen distort just from your fingertips. Another problem I encountered was the brightness would go up and down when I went from one screen to the next. The menu control is also horribly designed and I wouldn’t expect the cheap toggle switch to work very long either. Needless to say, I placed this back in the box within 2 hours, and sent it on its way to Amazon for a refund of my $400 4K resolution on a MacBook is ridiculous. You have to scale it back to 1440 so what’s the point just to gain a few extra pixels? 👺🖥️ I have sense bought the 27 inch ASUS PA278 CV for $249 US with 65 watt charging and 1440 resolution plus it came with a USB-C to USB-C cable for my MacBook Air. In addition it has a three-year warranty. worked perfectly right out of the box. Great color and charges the MacBook at 65 watts and best of all I saved over $150.🖥️😁

[@harrybenford]

I would agree with your take unfortunately. On paper the Gaming Monitor seems perfect but it does have its drawbacks.

[@hpjunkies]

appears that 144hz is only available via DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1, not using USB-C as in your setup. Top notch review and thanks for sharing. Adding this to the short list of monitors to go with for my newest work station.

[@chasingmemories1266]

Seriously, thank you for saving me the effort of tedious research 🙏

[@hamad_2000]

I've been looking for something like this in YEARS. A Monitor that is suitable for both design work and gaming. Sadly I've got a power hungry 16" MBP so I couldn't really take advantage of the "one cable" setup but anyways I appreciate this video!

I used to be multi too but now use single and have my laptop and tablet, as well as my phone nearby which all sync together really well. We have a lot more screen options nowadays.

[@futixx36]

Did you take this one into account ? The LG monitor 32UQ750P-W It is cheaper and less bulky. Here are some features : -UHD 4K 31,5" screen -144 Hz refresh screen -USB-C 65W -AMD FreeSync Premium -HDR ... What do you think, maybe I'm overlooking something ? Ps : I admire the work you do on your channel, keep it up!

[@Oliur]

Woah! I didn’t even know that one existed. I probably would have chosen that one instead.

Lg 27gp850p-b for 27" and WQHD..

[@TheSaiyan]

I was also looking at this but it is a VA panel with only 90% DCI-P3, personally I want one that has IPS and 98% DCI-P3

[@arvinsim]

I think it is easy to hit all your requirements nowadays. But when once you want a wide gamut, color accurate monitor in addition to the previous requirements, it gets very hard.

[@ryansteiger6960]

Thank you for the video Oliur

[@gerald1964]

Operating the monitor at non-native resolution is certainly not optimal. I imagine that configuring the setup to operate at 3840x2160 if that is in fact possible even for a 32 inch monitor would result in text and other items appearing too small. Unfortunately, there are not too many options for Mac users in the monitor space that work optimally with a Mac.

[@KoolCreation]

Clean setups!

[@pascalokafor]

Please, what is the dimension of your table, that's the most important thing for me right now. A table that can house my monitor, laptop and console comfortaboly and neatly.

Next video idea… “How I make my abstract wallpapers”

[@BeezonToast]

Don't agree on the 1 x external monitor for all use cases. I do cloud architecture and couldn't live with one monitor when compiling documents, creating diagrams, writing code, responding to mails and performing research whilst taking notes. I notice the laptop in use (MacBook Air) has a one monitor limitation and believe this is possibly the real reason. Nice clean setup and good vid prod btw.

[@bakeraus]

I would have bought this one, very hard to find for a reasonable price in my area in Europe.

[@PierreFromentin]

Great video and glad you talked about the 5k resolution for retina. The scaling on 4K monitors is horrible coming from a retina 5k display at work. Studio display is horribly expensive and I can’t find a good way to repurpose my old gorgeous 27” iMac retina screen from 2015 with my MBP M1 without changing the motherboard and scrapping the whole computer inside… Anyways good video 👌

[@mimandshaindy4906]

Have you looked into Luna Display Thunderbolt wired? It uses two Thunderbolt ports on the MBP M1 so unless is a 14in M1 Pro it leaves no ports left for charging, but it does support 5k. Also, if you do choose to gut the motherboard, Luke Miani has a great KZbin video for how to replace the board for a 5k display board (About $200) An alternative for "perfectly scaled" retina is the LG 24 4k, which I got used for $350 and I'm happy with. I didn't need 27".

[@PierreFromentin]

@@mimandshaindy4906 Thanks I didn’t know Luna display had a wired option but double cable and a whole second computer running is overkill compared to plug and play of the studio display. Plus the studio has great speakers which declutters the space (Luca’s solution does not use the speakers unfortunately). Your option to go 4K 24” is interesting if the scaling is working alright but I thought Mac would anyway output 5k and resize to 4K adding extra workload on the Mac to resize in non native resolution… so in the end the studio display just makes more and more sense despite the high price tag it’s a long term investment for all future Mac machines I feel.

[@mimandshaindy4906]

@@PierreFromentin No, MacOS won’t output 5k and rescale to 4K on a 4K 24” display. It will default to a 4K scaled perfectly 2:1 as a 1080P which looks great. There are only two options for a 4K 24 inch option right now though. Both are from LG. One is optimized for macOS and cost $600 the other is more budget at $300. Dell used to offer one but discontinued it. You could find it on the used market.

[@Nickshorts.official]

Just say the name of the monitor bro because the link aint working if you in a different country

[@junglephobia]

i love how this monitor so thick

[@RickyBobbyGetEm]

I would not recommend to use a 34" 4K monitor for MacOS as that will bring big issues with scaling. Things will either not look the right size (too small or too big) OR the scaling will look fine but it will take a toll on performance because of the extra processing needed to use the scaling options in between 4K and 1080p. 4K panels should be avoided unless you don't mind having your MacBook with worse performance and at higher temperatures than normal every time you connect to a display.

[@quadlegsxxxxx]

Glad you found your one true special love

[@Sandilini]

I also went through the same meme cycle over the past 15 years. Now I’m using the Dell G3223Q. 4K 32” 144hz IPS. I don’t get the USBC, but I’m using a Dell dock that my husband’s company sent him for WFH, so I’m still able to get a one cable solution for my MBP

[@lil_nginya]

great video as always🔥💯

[@snoopysatangore]

Great find

[@wthsajit]

Hey Oliur, I can understand all your requirements but one. Why did you choose to get a 4K monitor instead of a 1440p for Mac? Since most prefer 1440p for Mac over 4K. I own a MacBook Pro M3 Pro, and I use MSI MAG 274QRFW (which is a 1440p, 180hz monitor without PD) and I love how good it works tbh. It's damn good for gaming, and for coding as well.

[@mcdazz2011]

Doesn't appear to be sold in Australia, and via that Amazon link, costs $2092.03 + $345.42 for postage. So, that's a big NO from me (and most Australians).
