Hello,
I'm planning to buy a new monitor mainly for multitasking and Photoshop (not as profession).
Since I want to have some orizontal space to work with tiled windows I'm thinking of a low-end ultra-wide monitor.
What do you think about the LG 29UM58 LCD Monitor 29"?
My video card will be a RX480-4GB.
Thank you for any opinion or advice.
 
I have installed these exact ones for a client and they love it! Instead of having 2 monitors, they have 1 ultrawide. Really nice for their receptionists as it takes up less space on the desk. The monitor comes with software that allows you to split the screen into multiple virtual monitors so it mimics having more than 1 monitor. They paid $300 per monitor which was cheaper than 2 separate monitors and a stand. Only disadvantage is if you like being able to have each monitor at a different angle then obviously that won't be possible with the ultrawide.
 


Thank you very much for your reply.
Indeed, the sole concern is about the angle of vision.
Hope that IPS panel will not distort color/brightness (even if it is an entry-level monitor) but I do not know if its "flatness" could be a problem.
