My wife has just bought a new Mac Mini alongside this she bought a widescreen monitor (3440x1440 BenQ PD3420Q Designer Monitor)
She has come from a 27inch iMac with 5k display and is very disappointed with how blurry/pixelated the text is on this new monitor. I don't know much about Macs but discovered some software called BetterDisplay that allowed us to get the screen to display in HiDPi and it looked a bit better but I can tell she is still not happy with it and seems like a bit of a bodge. Images look pretty crisp its just the text. She does most of her work in Adobe inDesign and is dealing with lots of text so this is pretty critical. The reason she went for a widescreen was to aid in copying and pasting between 2 application etc. which she said was always a bit of a chore on the iMac.
She was aware when ordering that what ever she bought would probably not be as good as what she had but I think was surprised just how bad it is so I think we are going to have to return the monitor (if we are able to) and look for a new one.
Would love some recommendations, widescreen would be a bonus but not essential as the main requirement is the ability to display fonts crisply. Obviously there is Apples offering but a little to pricey.
Many Thanks
