Even with my 1920x1200 monitor, there are many programs I find uncomfortable to use maximized to the full width of the desktop. DisplayFusion helps a lot with that.

Is it easy to get used to a curved monitor? I’ve never looked at one in person. Will be buying off Amazon.

I've been looking at the 34" LG Ultrawide at Costco, but seeing a lot of mixed reviews. It's running about $280 right now.


The mixed reviews are likely from it being a 2560x1080 res monitor. That is really not enough for a 34", that size screen should be 3440x1440. Costco sells the 3440 LG but I think it's usually $600 on sale.

It isn't very noticeable imo. I'm using a Dell 34" curved ultrawide and I really don't notice the curve at all. From what I've read, the slight curve just helps to compensate with the wide nature of the screen and bringing the far edges a little closer to your eyes.

Make sure you get a 3440x1440 res curved monitor. The 2560x1080 are junk and you're better off with two 24" 1080s for less (and a little bigger too).

I’m running dual 34” lgs at my office. I’ve been working on dual monitors for over ten years now and I can hardly use just a single monitor now

Please don't. You're better off getting two monitors. If you're going ultra wide then 34" 3440x1440 is the minimum

Alright I’ll do the 34UC88-B then. I honestly haven’t gone and looked at any of these in person. Really have no idea of size.

I got the 32" 4K LG from Costco..

1. 4k at 32" is incredibly sharp but still almost too small to be useable

2. 30"+ screens in a dim office are bright as the sun

Great program. I use it at work for 3 monitors, a 19" turned portrait for documents and 2 24" for general work.

Well I ordered it on Amazon and they are sending it USPS, so I'll probably get it next week.

Why on earth would you trust USPS to deliver that expensive of a package is beyond me. Do they use UPS at all anymore??? Geesh.

I've had more problems with UPS than USPS when shipping fragile packages

Well, I can't comment on packages in BR. But here in NOLA the postal system is a complete joke. Even with "informed delivery".
