Update: ended up returning it. The 3:2 is awesome... but the monitor has worse colors than my LG 4K panel. Reds look really muddy. Still recommend this panel to anyone on the market for a monitor www.amazon.com/LG-27UN850-W... - ThreadSky

WELL THEN! quick q? re your LG 4k w/ MacBook: how do you have it set up resolution wise?? I passed on 4k and did a 1440p from Dell. They arrive next week so I'm excited. Sorry it didn't work out , and thx for the update.

bholmes.dev•38 days ago

Ah, that should be fine. Max is 3840x2160 for my setup, which isn’t far off from 1440p. Curious how yours looks when it arrives! What model did you get?

henrihelvetica.bsky.social•38 days ago

G2724DS. I keep hearing how 4k doesn’t play super nice as macOS, but 1440p does. I got these as flats w/ high refresh rates but 3yr warranties. So if I decide to go bigger/better, the warranty keeps some value

chrismccully.com•41 days ago

Did you ever calibrate it? Only asking bc I know benq for incredible broadcast and photo editing monitors and I've had a lot of mine look like doodoo before throwing a spyderx on it. Though I'm sure not every one is up to that standard

bholmes.dev•41 days ago

I turned every knob I could twist. No matter what, reds looked awkward. Must be something with the RGB arrangement

chrismccully.com•41 days ago

Oh yeah, it could be! I meant more letting software adjust the color profile for you but especially if pure reds look funky it doesn't sound saveable haha, hope the new display is working for ya tho LG is great :)

bholmes.dev•40 days ago

Oh, I went back to the LG 4K panel I’ve owned since college 😅 7 years strong, still great. Just wanted to find something that was a) no gloss white, and b) an upgrade on some dimension

winchester.dev•41 days ago

yeah I rock the LG ultrafines too

I got burned by LG’s qc and customer support. Monitor got a dead pixel a month after Amazon return window. Spent hours and multiple calls with LG customer support. They didn’t offer a replacement but a repair that took 2 weeks. Needed monitor for work so it didn’t get fixed. Stuck with a $750 🍋.

That’s the reason why we don’t stray from our lords LG panels and Apple Studio Display

bholmes.dev•41 days ago

They truly are monitor royalty. Dell is tempting though… heard a 120hz panel was coming

Sorry it didn’t work out. Are you giving up on 3:2 or just this particular model? Personally, I miss the days where 4:3 monitors were the standard. 16:9 is fine for movies but shit for most other things I do on a computer.

bholmes.dev•41 days ago

Guess it’s this particular model. Ik BenQ has a lot of panels

richwhitfield.bsky.social•41 days ago

Thank you for this…I’d been considering one also for the aspect ratio but will probably wait for the new Dell QD OLED 32” instead

bholmes.dev•41 days ago

Also on the lookout! My one complaint is… why does every Dell and LG monitor have a white plastic back? Just doesn’t work for a floating desk in the middle of a room. We need more black monitors

richwhitfield.bsky.social•41 days ago

My existing Dells have dark grey backs though they are a few years old now

bholmes.dev•40 days ago

Oh nice, have a model name?

richwhitfield.bsky.social•40 days ago

Dell UltraSharp 24 Monitor - U2419H
