Yea. Sad about the lack of ultrawide option, too. Once you get used to it, there's no way back. Two 27'' displays is not an option since you can't center anyth

Yea. Sad about the lack of ultrawide option, too. Once you get used to it, there's no way back. Two 27'' displays is not an option since you can't center anything, so... three Studio displays side-to-side?

I've been running an LG non-curved 3440x1440 ultrawide monitor as my main work monitor for several years now. It's a great form factor, but the resolution is really sad. It's essentially a wider version of the Dell 1440p monitor that I had ten years ago. My ideal monitor now would be a pixel-doubled version of this ultrawide monitor, but I'm still tempted to lose the extra width and upgrade to this 5k display.

  Same. I have a 32" 1440p display and am considering grabbing one of these when I get back to the states in a few months. I could live without the speakers, but honestly if they're "good enough" they might kick my powered studio monitors off of my desk. I like my powered speakers but I don't use them anywhere near the volume they thrive at so it might be worth it to re-examine my workflow as a hobbyist.

  The Dell U4021QW is probably the best monitor I've ever used. I, too, got sad with 1440 vertical pixels on previous ultrawides, so I was pretty excited when they announced this one. 5120 x 2160 is really a dream. It's limited to 60hz, which bothers some folks, but I haven't noticed. I don't game or anything on it, though.

    I actually forgot that that monitor configuration existed. It looks nice, although I assume you would still be running at the same UI scaling as a 1440p monitor, and the higher pixel density compared to a 34" ultrawide 1440p display (around 25% higher) means you put the monitor closer to your eyes. So unless you're doing non-integer scaling (which I want to avoid if at all possible), you get a lot more real estate than the 1440p display, but not 2x density. Or you could do 2x scaling, but then you've just got the real estate of an ultrawide 1080p display. Personally I have plenty of real estate with 3440x1440, and what I'm really interested in is jumping to 2x scaling.

  I would really love an ultrawide for the extra space and immersive gaming option. But Retina display has spoiled me a lot. I regret getting used to a 4K configuration scaled to 150% which is effectively 2560x1440 display with higher PPI.

Yeap. Same dilema here, splitting in two or three when coding doesn't look good in my LG 27" 4k monitor. Is either full screen or nothing. For the case, instead of buying 2 32" apple pro monitors buying 3 of the 27 would make it better.

  I think I'll buy one and maybe buy two more later if it proves to be good, almost $5k though, ouch... Wish they made a simpler version with no ports, no camera, no speakers, etc - why would I need 3 cameras and 3 sets of speakers?..
