Would you recommend this over an ultrawide? Is ultrawide DPI lacking?
- wmf 3y agoI use a 38" ultrawide and I'm happy with it.
- I_am_tiberius 3y agoWith an M1/2 macbook?
- wmf 3y agoNo, with an Intel MacBook Pro.
- I_am_tiberius 3y agoOk, as far as I know the DPI problem starts with M1 macs, meaning the text rendering looks terrible if DPI is < 150.
- stephenr 3y agoAFAIK it’s nothing to do with Intel/Arm swap over. macOS in recent years dropped support for antialiasing because Apple (+ the UltraFines they sold) displays are all[1] high dpi. The other issue with a PPI of 150 is you’ll likely end up needing to use a non-evenly scaled resolution to get things “sized” right, so even basic things like a 1px line won’t be crisp, because it won’t be rendered as 1 solid pixel. 1: Yes I know the 24” 4K isn’t quite the same “high dpi”.
- I_am_tiberius 3y agook thanks. makes sense.
- 3oH2y869 3y agoIs there any fundamental guidelines one can follow as far as PPI goes so that the monitor doesn't look miserable? I am looking for something reasonably large and quality that doesn't break the bank.
- 3oH2y869 3y agoWhat do you mean by normal vs medium DPI? Which ultrawide are you using?
- wmf 3y agoAll 38" monitors are the same panel with different ports. I had good luck with the Dell one but some sleep/wake problems with an LG model.
