Mainly free sync 75 Hz and adjustable height
From what I can see, the 34UM59A-P has a native refresh rate of 60hz and can go up to 75hz with freesync. It has two HDMI inputs, is not height adjustable and doesn't have speakers.
The 34UM69G-B has a native refresh rate of 75hz and has a display port, one HDMI and a USB-C, is height adjustable and has speakers.
34" upgrade without curved screen…hmmm….anyone recommend it?
The LG 34" is quite popular, consider curved screen a lot more expensive.
I think it'd be fine provided it's an IPS panel.
The 1080 resolution is a big downside considering the size of the monitor.
I still don't understand, a lot of people are using FHD 24" at the moment including myself and I am fine with it. 34" 1080p is just wider so if 24" FHD is acceptable why 34" 1080p is a big downside?
Of course 1440p is better but consider 34" 1440p is more than double the price.
a 24" FHD is not as tall as a 34in ultrawide, so you have the same number of pixels high, but on the 34in, they're 'stretched' over a larger area.
Your 24in will have a PPI (Pixels per Inch) of about 92, whereas the 34in will have a PPI of about 82 - a drop you'll probably notice.
However, if you had a 27in FHD, and went to 34in 1080, then you'd be about the same, and 27in is roughly the same height as a 34UW and both would have PPI of about 82
That's where I was - I had a 27in 1080p, and wanted to go ultrawide. Figured if I was going to upgrade, I wanted a better quality picture as well as a wider screen. But in the end I got suckered into the Dell 38in screen that was posted on here. Ouch
The downside is the PPI. A 24" 16:9 @ 1920x1080 is about 92 PPI. A 34" ultrawide (which is physically both taller and wider) @ 2560x1080 is about 82 PPI. In comparison, a 34" ultrawide @ 3440x1440 is roughly 110 PPI.
Generally when someone upgrades their montior, they would want it to have at least the same amount of, if not more PPI. I wouldn't say it's a huge downside, but it would be a noticeable difference (to me at least).
It depends on how far away you sit from you're monitor, what you use it for, etc.
@extrobe: I didn't see your comment until after I had already posted mine haha. Coincedence much… lol.
That Dell 38" looks like a beast. I game a lot, so I'm waiting on a good deal for a 34/35" 1440p ultrawide with g-sync.
Thanks for the clarification, understand now.
I bought the 34UM69G-B and I am coming from two 22" x 16:10 TN panel monitors. At the moment I have to either turn my head left or right. Hopefully with this IPS panel and 75Hz and I can also use the middle of the screen it will be better.
Since I don't want to pay that much for a 1440p hope this is OK for me.
Recommend buying a monitor arm for 34" ultrawide gaming/movie watching unless possibly your a short person.
It makes a large difference to have it higher than what typical stands allow for and having the "perfect" distance from your eyes allows you to fill your entire vision with screen. Which is really glorious.
Plus it also frees up a lot of desk space.
I bought this for my Acer X34: https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/brateck-in…
It's cheaper on Staticice.
Be warned the resolution is only 2560x1080, quite low for a display this big. Ok for gaming and movies, but for general use and productivity, a 3440x1440 panel would be MUCH better.
Double the price is the problem.
Kogan has a monitor CURVED cheaper and it can get even cheaper if you use the vouchers of ebay
What's the difference between the two?
