The author says he wants a 4K display. 4K is 3840x2160 - 8,294,400 pixels. This monitor is only 3440x1440 - 4,953,600 pixels.<p>That is hardly more than a 2560x1600 30" display (4,096,000 pixels). By contrast a full 4K display has more than twice as many pixels as a 30" display.<p>Related:<p>I can't speak enough praises of the Dell UP3214Q. It is by far the nicest monitor I've ever used and gives full 60Hz with OS X 10.9.3 on a MacBook Pro. It came fully calibrated from Dell, has a solid-feeling aluminum base, awesome matte finish and provides a USB3 hub. I was able to grab one from Newegg for $2200. Now, it isn't TB2, but I'd rather have a nice, adjustable display a buy a separate thunderbolt 2 dock when one comes out.<p>For the price I purchased it, it is less than two Dell U3011 or U3014 displays, is better-constructed and doesn't suffer from dual-screen calibration issues. I don't consider Apple displays viable since they aren't height-adjustable and only come in a glossy finish.
I have one. It's the best monitor I've ever used. And I've went through a lot of monitors, including the 4K Dells.<p>Maybe it isn't an issue on OSX, but with a 4K 32" fonts were too small unless I upped the DPI in Windows, which resulted in blurry text/icons. Many apps aren't DPI aware in Windows.<p>Compared to running the UP3214Q at 125% DPI, I'd also say the total desktop real estate is similar to the 34UM95.<p>Also, this LG has the best matte coating I've ever seen on a display. Completely unobtrusive. It looks semi-glossy but is still effective at cutting out reflections. My old 3008WFP had such a strong anti-glare coating that it gave off a noticeable grainy/ sparkle effect on solid color BGs. The UP3214Q was much better in this regard, though I still wished the coating was lighter.<p>I also really, really like 21:9 for gaming (FPS are amazing to play on this thing). I don't really care about 4K anymore, at least not until a higher-res 21:9 display comes out and Windows handles DPI scaling better.
"it's a very compelling alternative to a thunderbolt display, especially for those that have a lightweight mac alongside a cheap gaming PC"<p>This is the exact situation I've been trying to solve for awhile now, I wonder how many other devs have this same issue.
But this monitor is 34", not <=27". Ultra wide screen and only 1440 pixels high: similar DPI to an Apple Cinema Display but wider (not denser).
What is daily life like with a monitor that wide? I'd be curious to try it instead of a dual setup, but the inability to angle both halves of the monitors looks like it might cause viewing comfort issues up close.
Are there monitors out there that allow input switching via USB? If the on-screen menus supported setting one button shortcut access to an input, I'd live with that, but the generally require some degree of navigation through an awkward menu.
