   Looking to upgrade my setup significantly, and love the idea of an ultrawide as my main monitor, however I still prefer to run multiple monitors for my multitasking purposes. So the top 2 I’ve been looking at are the LG 34WK95U-W and MSI PS341WU, is it possible to daisy chain either of these models with 2 Asus ProArt PA278QV monitors? I’m not a fan of curved displays so keep that in mind in case of other recommendations, thank you.

   idamn this video covered almost everything i need to know ,my current old monitor has white cloud bleeding so im very afraid of getting a ips display, do all ips have this issue? which panel should i get, im not sure what panel i have but its not edge backlight bleeding , its like a cloud thing in the middle also i think my monitor is atleast 7 years old , im looking for something with adaptive sync or free sync (no tearing issue) ,ideally hdmix2, 60 -144hz ,full hd,decent color accuracy & mainly no display issues like glow bleed etc

   I’m an M1 MacBook Air user – looking for an external monitor to colour grade, video edit and use with Excel/Word. Been looking at the LG 27" as I don’t need anything bigger or wider but would like USB type C connectivity and clean (not funky LED lit) styling.
   The LG27UN850 would tick the box but isn’t yet available for sale whereas retailers are pushing the LG27UL850 instead. I’m trying to fathom the advantage in waiting for the later UN iteration of monitor. Any advice would be appreciated.

   This is a great guide, thanks. I happen to be in the market for a new monitor after my two ancient screens bit the bullet. My needs are mostly working/productivity but I game also. I’m fine gaming in a window though, I do that already to take advantage of lower resolution – I’ve a 1920×1200 monitor but I game at 1080. Have you looked at the cheaper models like some AOC or Electriq 34"/35" monitors? Cheers.

   I bought a 29" LG Ultrawide (29UM69G) monitor to use as a second display with my m1 MacBook Air. The monitor has a usb-c port, but I tried two different cables and neither of them worked to display the image and sound, only to charge the MacBook. Do I have to look for a thunderbolt 3 cables to make It work, or will It work with a different kind of cable?

    I have the Samsung U28E590 which I have had for I think 4 years now. I want to upgrade to something larger but same aspect ratio. if 8K resolution is not too expensive I don’t mind that either. I am not a gamer. I use my monitor mostly for streaming youtube, netflix and surfing the internet, but I love a good monitor. what do you recommend for around $1000 Canadian dollars?

    Im going to be buying a house soon and will be having a gaming room. Ill be getting a pc but nothing too fancy my budget will be around £1000-£1200 for the pc. I will be playing a ps5 through the monitor and watching films on it. Is it worth getting a 4k screen? Or better just to use a 4k tv for ps5 gaming and watching films?

    Should I buy an 144Hz monitor if I have a Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ and Ryzen 5 3500X? Is it really worth it even if I can’t run most Triple A titles above 70 FPS? Apex and esports titles run over 140 however.

    Is this real life? A tech video that’s not just some asshole begging you to buy shit through his affiliate links? A video with a fucking shit pile of great information? I don’t even believe it. Am I still on earth? This is peak YouTube content.

    You’re a fucking god bro. Thank you.

32. KyUuBi 271 on March 28, 2021 at 1:51 am

    I’ve done a ton of research yet still can’t find an answer to help….
    Do I want 72% NTSC (which is equivalent to 99% sRGB) or do I want a pure sRGB (which would be 100%)?

    Can anyone advice? Thanks

    Basically 2021 monitors will make 2020 monitors obsolete

    
    
    
34. Nichad Goulamhoussen on March 28, 2021 at 1:53 am

    Would you recommend the Asus TUF VG27VQ for office and gaming with a PS4?

    
    
    
35. Martin Basil on March 28, 2021 at 1:55 am

    USB-C ports on the monitor mean I don’t need to spend £229 on a CalDigit dock to get extra USB-C ports and powering my MacBook Air 13” M1 from the thunderbolt port frees a USB-C port on the Mac. So on that basis justifies the extra cost of the monitor and less cable clutter.

    Im pretty late but do you need a laptop or something for a monitor to work?

    
    
    
37. webworldfly on March 28, 2021 at 1:57 am

    Wow. That is a lot of information for me to learn from you. No easy one. I am planning to buy an Apple Mini computer M1 for my sister. She likes to use the internet and check her emails. She might use photographs and maybe voice. I do not know much about a microphone or speaker because I am deaf. I realized that you talked so much about different monitors. I also realized that many monitor companies are a dirty business. I assume that LG owns Benq monitors. PD2700U and EW2780U are what I am trying to figure out which one for her because of the number of ports and also her iPhone for the USB port. For me, I would buy a wide monitor like yours – I forgot the name. I have an iMac 27" 2019 and later Apple Mini computer with a wide monitor. 😉 I would be surprised if you reply me. One more thing I care about the quality text on a monitor – no blurry or no ghost texts. Thank you.

    Does a laptop running RTX 3070 allow me to fully use my 2K@240Hz monitors (even if the laptop’s screen is 1080p@120Hz, for instance)?

41. Ingenium on March 28, 2021 at 2:04 am

    So does 1440p on a 24 inch monitor still make sense ?
    I was thinking about upgrading to 1440p, but i am not sure if 27 inches wouldnt be to big for me.

48. Vio Ciarnau on March 28, 2021 at 2:09 am

    Is the one behind you a 21:9, 34” curved monitor? Or what size is that? You didn’t cover for the musicians what would you suggest:- a 34” plus an additional regular 24” on its side, or an Ultra Wide 49” …which is double the price… (I have to keep in consideration to not cover the studio monitors/ Audio)… I’m considering a 34” ultra-wide, 21:9 —- Thank you for this video.

    Hey Chaps – so what Monitor are you using right now, and are you looking to upgrade??

    
    
    
50. Ramon LaCour on March 28, 2021 at 2:13 am

    Love your videos. I’m crossing over to PC gaming. My question is: Can I use a 60 hz monitor for my streaming PC for chat etc.. And for gaming, go all out and buy a 165 hz for gaming PC, or do they both have to be the same or equal monitors?
