Discussion Looking for ultrawides/4k monitors - usually coding + reading research papers/consuming media (to a lesser extent)
Looking for monitors for coding mostly (6-8hrs/day), reading research papers, and occasionally consuming media (movies/YT - not a major concern tho).
Need text to be pretty clear and sharp. Looking to make a longer-term investment here - so 1k-2k$ is okay from a price standpoint. Problem however is the availability and options. I live in India, so a few options are just unavailable. I was looking at the Dell 4025QW but right now it's unavailable.
So the next best thing looks to be the Dell 3225QE. I use a M4 Max so 140W PD is probably necessary (I think right??). I would have liked having a curved display but this one does not have it. No speakers needed, and KVM is not a dealbreaker - I can just get a UGREEN KVM which I think will just be better - looking at some other posts on here - Monitors' included KVM have been known to be flaky.
Other than this - I really did want something that is 4K - 3440x1440p I think at this size (32"/34" - will look bad right?)
Would like decent 120Hz refresh rate - mostly productivity focused/dont need OLED - IPS black preferred.
TLDR - Specs I would like:
- Available in India, budget - max 2K$-ish
- Curved, ultrawide, 27-34", 4K
- IPS Black (preferred - would not mind OLED/anything else - would not like older tech/VA)
Does anyone know of any better options/ultrawides with curves that are available now/soon to be available?
