I bought this right after it’s available, I like the screen but the Asus OSD is barely tolerable and I have to grow my patience because of it

Re: Dell UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor
#192I have 3 27" 5k monitors in portrait and a 32" 4k horizontal above those. It is all mounted with vesa cheeseplates to manfrotto magic arms on t slot aluminum attached to a C stand with manfrotto super clamps. I also have two genelec studio monitors which sound amazing. All of that cost less than this one monitor.
All the brand naming makes this read like something from American Psycho.

I get bonkers annoyed using just two monitors with macos or windows. multi monitor management... nothing behaves how i want it to, apps never open where they should etc etc. I havent tried it on desktop linux enough to know if it's any better - maybe at least id assume have the most configuration control on linux.
How do you do it? I always give up in frustration. 100% would keep the genelecs :)

#194This has pixels the size of my hand, and it fully covers my field of view. Not my cup of tea. What I do recommend (having bought one) is the Kuycon G32p, 32 inches @ 6K. Incredible quality and unbelievable value for money ( https://clickclack.io/products/in-stock-kuycon-g32p-6k-32-in... ).
First time I hear about this Kuycon, the pricing seems phenomenal and the quality as well. I will probably buy one by the end of the week. It's odd that we don't get to see a lot of high quality OEM monitors.
> the pricing seems phenomenal
I'm in Norway, and I wonder if I see different prices than people from elsewhere in the world? Here it says $1.7K, and I can get the LG UltraFine 6K 32" for $2K, with the benefit of being bought from a Norwegian retailer (think guarantees and shopping security).
To be clear; I have never tried either of these monitors, so I can't tell if either is any good. :D

#195I have dell with similar resolution and 32 inches. It is a decent matrix to work with code. But increasing diagonal without increasing resolution just makes it expensive tv and not something where you read text

I can only speak for the Cinnamon desktop environment on Linux Mint, but it’s very simple:
- Apps always launch on the monitor your mouse cursor is on
- Switching the focused window to the other monitor is Win+Shift+Arrow Keys
So if I clicked to open an app, it’s on the monitor I’m already looking at. If I used a keyboard shortcut, win+shift+arrow is super easy and simple.
The fact that it’s a stupid simple rule means I can get way better at just doing things by muscle memory… I don’t have to worry about being outsmarted by the window manager.

What Genelecs are you using??
Not OP, but I have 2 8020D + a subwoofer. If I had to do it all over again I would have 2 8030C and no subwoofer.
Why? Just out of curiosity. Is it that you don’t need that much low end for the media you’re usually playing through your monitors or do the 8030Cs have enough low end to eliminate the need for a separate woofer?
I’ve been debating getting genelecs for a few years now but the price jump from something like JBLs or Yamahas is so huge that I can’t justify it. At least not on my current budget.

On KDE and things like opening app on active monitor / desktop work fine. Only complaint is that on older versions, the taskbar on secondary monitors would sometimes disappear.
For reference I have 3 monitors (2x 4k, 1x 1080p) and am currently using Debian / Wayland and Ubuntu / X11.
Re: Dell UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor
#199I had a Dell thunderbolt hub monitor (not sure if that was the exact name for it but functionally the same thing) in idk 2018? 1440p. Loved it. It played so well with my 2016 MBpro too. Even had HDD’s running through it. It worked fantastically from top to bottom.
For 2 years.
Obviously this is not the same product and it has been a long time. But man I hadn’t thought about that in years and now I’m all bitter about it again ha

Interesting, manfrotto's website has a cookie notice with two buttons: ALLOW ALL and ALLOW SELECTION.
However, there's no selections -- there's only a description of hundreds of cookies they store (e.g. 73 in Marketing section), but there's nothing to select, it's only text.
