Buying a monitor for Obsidian - Should I go with a QHD UltraWide or a 4K Monitor?

Well, I actually did buy an Ultra wide for the sole purpose of using obsidian The Way It’s Meant To Be … & i regret Nothing

Here’s what my set-up looks like, - the monitor is at least an arms-length (80 cm) away from me so i don’t have to move my head much to look at the corners.


here’s a close up

and finally, here’s a screen shot


The only thing i regret with this purchase is the fact that bought a curved Display…

  • The curvature does practically nothing for me, and it brings no advantage to my setup. the curvature makes sense only when it’s a 32:9 super ultra-wide OR, if you are Really close to the monitor

  • so… I’d suggest going with a flat display if it’s 21:9, especially when the monitor is more than an arm’s length away from your eyes.

  • That said… i haven’t experienced the inconveniences of a Flat ultrawide monitor, so… try before you buy. (if attal possible spend at least 15 minutes with the monitor before you decide to go for a flat ultra-wide…)

:grin: happy shopping :shopping_cart:
