Hey everyone!
I would love to update my current setup and buy an ultra-wide monitor, main purpose would be work: I am a software engineer and I spend most of my time either on Visual Studio Code or in GitHub reviewing someone's code.
I narrowed down my options either to:
1) Samsung C43J890DKU - (43°) 3840 x 1200
2) Samsung LS49A950UIUXEN - (49°) 5120 x 1440
I'd love to make sure that my purchase would also work for my private laptop which is a MacBook Pro mid-2014 (Intel 2.6 Ghz I5-4278U). I did some investigation and the internal GPU (Iris 5100) seems to support up to 3200x2000@60Hz via DP and 3280x2000@60Hz via HDMI.
Now... the supported width is clearly less than even the 43° inches but I was wondering (and this might sound incredibly dumb), is it that I should consider? or the multiplication of 3200*2000 to get the total number of pixels? because in that case the 43 inches should work. I mean all of that at 60Hz, because less than that I am afraid it will not look smooth at all.
Thanks!
