Hey folks, I 'almost' ordered the Samsung LU32J590UQUXEN earlier today for £289, as I was attracted to the large resolution it offers, I currently use a dual monitor setup of 2 x DELL U2412M's and wanted a single widescreen instead.

I will be doing barely any gaming in the near future as I use my PC purely for Music Production & some video editing.

One of the things that I was concerned about with the Samsung above, is the 4K Resolution and everything being 'too small' weird considering I wanted that 3840x2160 res, but I am thinking is it better to opt for a 21:9 34" Ultra Wide monitor instead, a 3440 x 1440 resolution being a sweeter-spot as such?

Any advice is welcome, my graphics card is a GTX 770, so you can see I am not really a huge gamer on the PC :D
 
Thanks mate, just a bit of an update, I ordered the Samsung 32" 4K, but decided to order (random I know) an RTX 2060 graphics card as well, as the 770 I had was old, and whilst I don't have immediate gaming plans, if a decent RTS was to come out....

Anyhow, the Samsung, I am unsure on, it's very 'saturated' a bit like Samsung phones are, im sure I can adjust that and brightness (it seems very bright compared to the DELL's) but another spanner in the works, is it looks a bit small on the desk setup I have, I am now wondering whether to go back to the idea of a 34" UW The resolution of 4K seems good enough in windows, although not groundbreaking real estate in some of the programs I use, hmmm...
 
Hmm, also is there any reason why the draw seems 'slow' basically an example if you left click and hold it down to highlight all your icons on the desktop it kinda stutters midway through almost like a redraw issue.

In the Nvidia display options there is true 4k option but 30hz only.

Underneath there is a section saying "pc native" with 3840x2160 60hz that's what I have selected.

If I select true 4k it's too juddery just moving the mouse!
 
Freshly installed the 2060 just in time for the new monitor lol!
Yeah I see what you mean about losing the screen estate, now it has thrown another option in addition to yours above in that I am considering say 2 X 27" thin bezel 1440p screens ,could that be the sweet spot...?
