Review on LG 34WL85C-B Ultrawide Curved Monitor with 🌊 3440X1440P Resolution, Adjustable Tilt and Height, HD IPS Screen by Joey Basso

Great monitor for software development

I am a software developer by trade and author of books on software development. In these roles, I want to see as much code, design documentation, integrated device control, and HMI as possible at the same time. It's not uncommon to have my chosen HMI running while it's running, watching the debug output in a terminal window, and controlling the remote device through the vendor's application. I always use 2 or 3 monitors to see as much as possible. As 2020 rolled around, I started working from home, then lost my job, found another and started a full-time home office career. The two large 1080P monitors I used stayed on my work. My new job consisted of a laptop and a smaller monitor. I was told to bring two of these monitors to work and didn't mind. It's hard to tell the size from the photo, but I'd hazard a guess that I have over 9 square meters to work with. foot high-resolution display area. Image shows two monitors mounted vertically on a dual-display mount (purchased from Revain). This works well and the displays just about fit vertically. The displays are tilted vertically, so I get the same viewing angles on each. The only downside to the curved display is that the spacing between blocks isn't constant. This is something you won't notice in real life. I'm an amateur photographer, so I like to see sharp images and consistent, repeating colors. These monitors excel at both. Even small fonts (fonts up to 8pt on HDPI screens are crisp and clear). I don't have a laptop at my company, it just doesn't have a GPU, so I can't comment on the refresh rate. When someone asks me what monitor to buy for software development or CAD applications, it's at the top of my list right now.
