![]() ![]() I’ve bought several myself and several clients I work with have as well. I’ve found the LG monitors to be very good. Which monitor should I buy? I just want a second monitor for my laptop. Stay ion the $15 range and you should be fine. So don’t buy the cheapest thing you can find on that cable. By the way, on HDMI to USBC cables, not all are created equally and in my experience, tend to fail more often than any other cable I deal with. That could possibly also be what’s holding you back. HDMI has nothing to do with data transfer and focuses only on video signal (and audio). You might also try throwing $15 at a HDMI to USBC cable instead of pushing USBC to USBC if that is what you’re doing. If you are indeed really digging the Dell monitor however, then you’d most likely be looking at something more powerful than the surface to push it. Not sure which model LG Jim has but you might, just for the heck of it, take your surface over to his office and plug up his LG display. I wouldn’t be looking at 5K or HDR for your needs. That’s going to put you into the 3800x 2100 range which is better than the current Dell display. You’d be looking at a 27” or 30+” most likely. In terms of recommendations, I really like the LGs of which there are several models. I’m not sure of the 9’s specs so those could have improved on the graphics performance enough to support a curved wide display.ģ600x1400 is a pretty non traditional aspect ratio so not all graphics cards are going to do well with that. In may opinion, I think you’d be happier all around with a more tradional display if you’re going to be using a Surface to push the second monitor. ![]() Therefore, it is not in their interest to build a slim machine then put a high performance graphics card/chip in that same machine that will push an ultra wide monitor with great performance. So MacBooks, Surfaces, etc… are inherintently slower machines just to keep heat down. The more powerful something is, the hotter it is. Think of it this way, Most computers, especially portables are looking to minimize heat. In terms of the display: Any curved monitor is always going to be a mixed bag as wide aspect ratio monitors are made to favor real estate over performance. Anytime you purchase so close to the product cycle end, you tend to always second guess for the next few years. That said, I do think you’d be happier returning and swapping for the 9. Once again, in terms of specs on Windows machines (surface) my knowledge is extremely limited. Two questions:ġ) Before returning this monitor, is there anything I can adjust to make fonts more crisp? I’m connected via USB-C, at max resolution (3440x1440), and prioritized image quality over data transfers.Ģ) What monitor would you recommend to get image/font quality similar to the Surface Pro 8’s screen (2880x1920 and 267 PPI)? I was going to buy a 4k monitor, but noticed that PPIs are much lower than the Surface and wasn’t sure whether this was part of the issue. It’s particularly noticeable on smaller font, which appears blurry to me, and I work with a lot in Excel. I didn’t think I’d be able to see pixels the way I do on this monitor.
