    Advice Need new monitor [x2] 4k or?

    Hi Guys,

    My two LG monitors are on their way out; both are displaying dead pixels. So it will be time for me to upgrade soon!

    Currently I am using Two LG IPS231P-BN.


    I am looking for equivalent or a 4k monitor[s]. I am unsure if two 4k monitors is a wise choice! My uses are:

    Film/TV,
    Graphics/Video editing
    Gaming

    What would you recommend?

    No set budget.

    Thanks

    If you want to game on a 4k monitor you will need to own a powerful graphics card. From what I've read, people have had problems with windows font sizes & scaling issues (although Windows 10 might solve some of those issues). That said, the Iiyama 28" B2888UHSU is fairly cheap (if you want to buy two) & has had some decent reviews.

    It might be worth looking at 3440x1440 monitors. I bought a AOC U3477PQU (to replace my Eyefinity set up) last week and I was very impressed with it - less so now, now that it has developed a couple of dead pixels.

    You know he grew up as a little shitspark from the old shitflint and then he turned into a shitbonfire and driven by the winds of his monumental ignorance he turned into a raging shitfirestorm. If I get to be married to Barb I'll have total control of Sunnyvale and then I can unleash the shitnami tidal wave that will engulf Ricky and extinguish his shitflames forever. And with any luck he'll drown in the undershit of that wave. Shitwaves.

    I'm going to go the 21:9 route. Any suggestions?
