Jesus Christ, why did they stop building their own panels?? No one had panel quality like LG... :(
I have a pair of 2019 LG 4K 27s that I covet.
You can't covet your own belongings.

This is terrific advice. I run one monitor in the standard horizontal configuration and one horizontal. Everybody who sees it falls in love. I can get 100 lines of code on the monitor and rarely does a line wrap. PDFs and other documents look terrific.
I just switched to this setup and it’s great. Windows unfortunately doesn’t natively support “snap to left/right” on a horizontal monitor and “snap to bottom/top” on a vertical monitor at the same time.
Windows 11 does.

#263This is a perfect one for crypto traders! These days they should rotate their 16:9 vertically to see the full depth of assets plunged. Now they will have this and see much longer history at the same time.
I appreciate the joke. While I consider buying and trading crypto on the same risk level as gambling, I am crypto mining which even though crypto dropped is somehow still profitable even after the electricity is paid.
This monitor is quite interesting especially for text editing and playing Factorio, would love to try it one day!

Just coming across these. I've been using amethyst. Would this offer any benefit to me ?
Hammerspoon has the benefit that in addition to managing your windows / spaces, you can also script tons of other things in the macos interface with it: have a glance at https://www.hammerspoon.org/docs/ to see the top-level modules.
been playing with this all day. This thing is amazing. Thank you for recommending this.

Oh you won’t notice the pain. You’ll notice in 20 years.
Can you expand on this ominous prediction? What are your experiences?
I used to be able to ride a bicycle for hours on end in my 20's and 30's. Now I can't look up when bent over in that position, I need a rise in the handlebars to get me almost vertical. I didn't hurt myself. I didn't get in an accident. It is just a fundamentally unnatural position and the discs just started to deteriorate from years of holding that position. My bikes were sized and fit properly, and I was doing everything right and everything felt OK for literally decades until one day it wasn't OK.

#267I find panning my eyes left and right to other monitors more natural than up and down, and I think most ergonomics experts would agree. As such a 32:9 widescreen seems preferable to a 16:8. But if you are pressed for space, either because of small desks or because of everything else going on on your desk (people who work not only in the virtual world) this seems like a great compromise.
Are there any window managers that let you set some kind of 'snap zones' so that you can easily tile screens without fiddling? That's my main issue with large screens vs a plurality of smaller ones.
holy moly everybody thanks for all of the great suggestions!!! i should have asked this a long time ago lol

#268I got them recently as the side monitors for a 16:9 43'' 4k in the middle. The height matches almost perfectly. I love this layout so far, so much desktop space and such high resolution! And it's nice to have a big 16:9 screen in the middle for videos. Finally a worthy replacement for my three 10-year-old 30'' 16:10 Dells. For people who work in Windows: you will want to use https://github.com/mgth/LittleBigMouse and…
What 43" monitor are you using? Do you happen to have a picture of your setup?

#269EIZO makes a 1:1 monitor you can buy off the shelf right now: https://www.eizo.com/products/flexscan/ev2730q/
Great aspect ratio but pathetic DPI. I'd buy it in a heart beat if it had 4x the pixels.

#270I bought a LG 4k monitor with ERGO mount (32UN880-B.AEU). After the first week of use the useful small USB-C connector (power + video) was ripped off the back of the monitor PCB because the only mechanical support of this connector was the solder, no additional support to the chassis. A big hole where you can see the PCB.
Seems that there's no problem for this method of attachment in bigger connectors (HDMI or DisplayPort) but the soldered attachment of USB-C is not strong. It needs additional support to the chassis. The minimal movement of the included stiff usb-c cable when moving the ERGO mount will tear the connector off the PCB.
My monitor is broken and technical service didn't take responsibility. Money lost, never again LG.
