Ultrawide Curved Monitor For Video Editing

Long story short: analysis paralysis. Wanted the Apple XDR, but refuse to spend the money on it as I no longer edit professionally. I wanted an ultrawide flat, and refused to evaluate curved monitors. I was an architectural photo/video pro in a past life, straight lines were critical. I caught a couple of good reviews about this monitor on YT, so I did some digging. I considered going with 2x 27s, but that would have been overkill. Then apple came out with the new 27 Pro Display and that would have priced me out. So I landed at this ViewSonic. You already know the screen space is massive. Where this monitor crushes is color fidelity and the other important features. It's dead quiet, its colorful, its customizable, it's got tons of i/o, it's lightweight, and it's been highly reliable. I have it connected to a 2018 MBP through eGPU (that sometimes gives me hell) but otherwise, this monitor connects with ease. If you are on the fence between this and ANY other curved equivalent, consider this monitor from ViewSonic. I was pleasantly surprised. I nearly bought the new LG ultrawide before acquiring this, and I have zero regrets. Is it perfect? No. But, sub $1500, this monitor is a pleasure to sit behind for long business days, and fun post-production projects on my weekends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor is great. The main things I was looking out for when upgrading to a 32:9 was Color Accuracy for editing photo and video as well as good performance for gaming. 95% DCIP3 color accuracy was plenty for my needs personally and I am using 16 bit 100MP GFX 100 files. A 200hz refresh rate is more than I will ever see in most games that I play. The brightness is 400 cd/m^2 which is more than my second ultrawide and plenty for the environment I use this in. Usage wise, You definitely dont NEED 45in of ultrawide display but in gaming (if the game supports it), it is absolutely gorgeous. Being able to watch a movie while I am editing is also pretty nice as well. The only downside I have really come across is the fact that it has about an inch less screen height wise. My old 21:9 Ultrawide monitor had a screen height of 14.29". So while I obviously gained a vast amount of screen real estate horizontally, I lost about a little over an inch in height. This is negligible in my opinion but it would have been the icing on the cake if it was also the same vertical size. It was really the only flaw I could come up with. Genuinely love the monitor. Overall I think if youre debating on making the switch to 32:9 from 21:9 this is a fantastic intro into it before shelling out a bunch of money for bigger OLED options.

I've been using the Dell UltraSharp 38 1600p Curved Monitor for a few weeks now, and it has exceeded all my expectations. The expansive 38-inch curved display immerses you in your work or entertainment, providing a truly panoramic viewing experience. The 1600p resolution delivers stunning clarity and sharpness, making everything from text to images look incredibly detailed. One of the standout features of this monitor is its color accuracy. With 100% sRGB and 99% Rec709 color coverage, colors are vibrant and true to life, which is essential for my photo and video editing work. The factory calibration ensures that the colors are spot-on right out of the box. The curved design is not just aesthetically pleasing but also functional. It reduces eye strain and provides a more natural field of view, which is particularly beneficial during long working sessions. The build quality is top-notch, with a sleek, premium finish that complements any workspace. Connectivity options are plentiful with USB-C, HDMI, and DisplayPort inputs, making it easy to connect multiple devices. The USB-C port also supports power delivery, which is a great convenience for charging my laptop while using the monitor. Ergonomics are well thought out, with adjustable height, tilt, and swivel options, ensuring that I can set up the monitor for maximum comfort. The on-screen display menu is intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing for quick adjustments to settings. In summary, the Dell UltraSharp 38 1600p Curved Monitor is a fantastic investment for anyone looking to upgrade their display setup. Whether you're a creative professional or simply want an outstanding monitor for general use, this model delivers in every aspect. Highly recommended!

Bought 8 for our office. Using the grommet-mount for some and the edge-mount for others. Works with our 34" curved ultrawide monitors despite their weight exceeding official limits. The mount isn't tall enough to rotate the ultrawides into portrait orientation though. The users love the adjustability and silver look that matches our furniture. Here's a suggestion for the next generation mount. Make it possible to route cables through the desk grommet while also using the grommet mount.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so amazed by this LG Curved Ultrawide monitor, the display is absolutely breathtaking! My husband and I had been talking about upgrading our 32" monitor for a bigger one and that was ultrawide but weren't sure if a 49" monitor would only be good for just games and not everyday activities. I'm so happy that this monitor is perfect for both! One of my favorite features of this monitor is that you can display up to 3 separate inputs on the screen at the same time. It's very convenient when you want to play a game and watch a YouTube video at the same time or even work on an Excel spreadsheet while surfing the web. Changing the inputs on the monitor is very quick and simple. It was so exciting to be able to play an ultrawide video game for the first time on this LG monitor. The 240Hz is lightening fast and the display will blow you away. You really feel so immersed in the game you're playing and time just gets away from you. If you're in the market for an ultrawide gaming monitor, you will not be disappointed with this LG monitor!

I really love this monitor very dope for gaming and video editing

I had hesitation to get a curved monitor, but took the chance and happy that I did.

Holds my 35\ Ultrawide monitor (Acer Z35P) with ease."

Holds a heavy, ultra-wide, curved monitor very well.

I got this to use as a 2nd monitor for video editing, and so far I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Great quality for the price.
