when will we get bigger than 34" monitors?

jbh110tdi · 29 Nov 2015 at 16:40

My current monitor is 24" 1080 60hz job. I'm wanting to upgrade to a 27" 1080 144hz but no intention on going bigger or higher resolution any time soon

I've been using a 34" ultrawide for a few days now and my eyes have adjusted to the display.

im sat about a foot and half away from a acer x34 and its the perfect size and resolution imo... and i thought 16:9 1080p was good until i used this monitor!

I don't think he meant he can look at both simultaneously.... or at least I hope he didn't else we'll have to burn him at the stake for being a witch. Though you can easily fit both within the confines of your eyes without the need to move your head, definitely be a strain on the eyes mind. Remember, we have like 210 degrees of vision

Yup!... Obviously I'm not looking at both screens at the same time...

I love my 34" ultra-wide, mind even sitting with my eyes about 2' from the screen I reckon these could still get a smidge bigger and be plenty usable. 40" would be perfect in this aspect ratio for me. This is why I'm glad I bought a cheaper screen because I think these things will go mental in the next couple of years (curved, high res, bigger and faster refresh rates), I can be plenty happy with what I have for now.

In the meantime, we'll greatly enjoy the here and now with a slight price premium

Look at some of the Korean imports. The Crossover 434k and 494k to names just two.

I can tell you that we will have a larger than 34" Desktop PC monitor in 2016

But, this is all i can tell you right now.................... other than it looks very very good

I hope it's not ultrawide, but is of a more useful resolution like the Phillips 40"

marktruman · 17 Jun 2016 at 16:21

anymore ultrawide ones bigger than 34" yet

Presumably you MUST mean ultra-wide 1440p or greater? Because you can already get bigger than 34" 16:9 with the Philips 43" and Iiyama 40" monitors, and also the 35" ultra-wide VA models although they barely count given they're only 1080p.

Unless you are some kind of chameleon hybrid then you can no way see all that screen real estate without moving your head.

This made me lol. Also completely true.

You better start saving your pennies guys........

It is also meant to support FreeSync

XR382CQK supports FreeSync for gaming but Acer did not specify further details.
