Hi all,
Like most people, I have transitioned to working from home now. I have made do with my current monitor set up thus far, but recently I've been thinking a lot about upgrading to a larger monitor for improved productivity. The ultrawides, especially, have piqued my interest as the next step for me. Having multiple monitors is great and all, but now I find having a large monitor that can tile many windows to be more convenient and efficient when multitasking as I do that a lot at my job.
Currently, my main monitor is an ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q (bought in 2016) and my secondary is an HP ProDisplay P222va (that I got for free from my old job).
Compared to previous years, I've noticed that I have very little time for gaming, and during the times that I do find the time to game, I play more for fun now and no longer have the competitive drive in FPS games. I do appreciate the 120+ Hz and can never go back to 60 Hz, however.
Here are a few monitors that I've been eying for quite some time that are tailored toward both productivity and gaming.
Dark Matter 49" I find to be the most attractive purely due to it's price of $900. Samsung C49RG9 being the alternative while staying within my budget. Seem LG CX 48" is the monitor that everyone is raving about and being OLED, a TV, and 48" seems like perfection to me (subjectively speaking), but the current price tag of $1,500 well over my budget.
What do you all think? Which ones should I just go for or is there one that you would recommend? Or maybe I should just be patient and wait for LG CX 48" to go down in price?
Thanks!
