There's no point in getting something new for the sake of it, if the benefit is so marginal.įredhoon - that Canon monitor is amazing - for its price, and that Canon makes a monitor.īut pity about the state of 16:10. So it seems entirely worthwhile to keep my screens then. Today I've gotten some shipping quotes, and it turns out it will only cost £32 to ship both U3014 monitors, as part of a larger shipment of my stuff home. Further, the extra width of the ultrawide makes it look smaller on a relative basis, even though you get 111 pixel density vs 101 and all the other good stuff of a curved modern monitor.īut yes, total height and absolute size seems to be what I'm looking for - whether that's 1600px in 30", or 2160px in one of the >30" 4k monitors It's got the same vertical pixels but is slightly shorter than the U3014/UP3017, even accounting for bezel. A friend is using the Dell 38" Curved Monitor U3818DW, with 3840 x 1600 resolution. TheSeekerr Yes, that's an interesting point on total height. Where are we at? Is 4K what I need? Do I need a 43" LG display? Or use 50" TVs as monitors? Please tell me your suggestions, including turning a monitor sideways. I don't do photo work, so I have the U3014s mainly for the thrill of the 16:10 aspect ratio and 1600 pixel vertical resolution. Clearly at least that of a Dell UP3017 or two. Plain design - so probably not a gaming monitor with its super cool designs.High vertical resolution - I really like 16:10 aspect ratio and I know I'm probably not going to get it.Use case is web browsing, general productivity and casual gaming - some Battlegrounds.What is a better alternative for the price these days? My requirements are thus:.Why does no one care about the new Dell 30" UP3017 Monitor anymore, compared to Dell U3014.But there's so many options these days and I'm open to alternatives. So I was thinking of selling them here in London and buying two UP3017 back in Australia. The punch line of this thread is: I'm running two Dell U3014 at the moment in dual screen side by side, but I'm in London and I'm coming home. I don't need 99% Adobe RGB colour coverage. I can see that there are a large amount of monitors these days, and I must admit that I'm having trouble keeping up.įor me, I'm a big fan of the 2560 x 1600 resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio. There's only a few reviews online and on Youtube. The Dell 30" UP3017 has been out for over a year and no one cares. See this OCAU thread with 150+ posts and this Whirlpool thread with just as many. Back when the Dell U3014 first came out, everyone was obsessed with it.
