Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ LG 34BL85C-B 3440x1440 Curved Monitor with HDR and 60Hz Refresh Rate by Tony Young

If you like blurry fonts and pixelation on Mac

It looked fine from a distance, but up close on a Mac, text was blurry and various shapes were pixelated rather than sharp. The Finder, menu bar, and more were difficult to read and were previously absent compared to the MacBook Pro's Retina display. I've enabled font smoothing, tried forcing RGB to make sure it doesn't look like a TV, and tried different monitor settings. and cable - nothing helped. I went back to my Dell P2715Q which although a few years older is of much better quality. I think a screen of this size needs a higher pixel density. Also the frame around the monitor has gaps and looks cheap and like it will continue to come loose. No Lightning connection either
