Home office UW or 27”?

[Reality Bites]

I can’t see me ever getting into PC gaming again but would like a better monitor for home office use, movies and a little design work.

I was looking at 27” ips screens but then veered towards a 34” UW. With a max budget of £400, less if I can, what should I look at? I was semi avoiding 4K as I thought it would be too small at those sizes? My eyes aren’t what they used to be so thought 1440p would be a decent resolution?

it will be used for both my work day on a laptop and a desktop for home use.

4K 27” with 150% scaling will give you effectively 1440p but text and UI will be much sharper. Your eyes will thank you. You can also watch 4K movies natively.

Have a look at the LG 27UL650.

ok, I didn’t consider scaling and taking advantage of the higher res.
