Review on LG 34WL85C-B Ultrawide Curved Monitor with ๐ŸŒŠ 3440X1440P Resolution, Adjustable Tilt and Height, HD IPS Screen by Jeff Bennett

A software developer's dream

Do you want VS Code, Jetbrains, Firefox and Chrome with 40 tabs to open from Stack Overflow and GitHub trouble pages? Then this monitor is for you. I specifically chose this model because of the matte screen. I bought this monitor in February 2020 and it is now December 2020. There were no dead pixels on arrival and only recently (like the last week of November) did I notice a black dead pixel with blur around it. Maybe it was because I hadn't slept for 47 hours and was writing the worst JavaScript known to man, but I turned off the monitor and when I got up in the morning it was gone and there hasn't been a problem since. I digress, if you're into anything other than casual gaming I wouldn't pick up this monitor: you'll probably need to play 1080p in windowed mode unless you have an $800+ graphics card and if You're playing windowed mode In most games, the rest of your screen will distract you while playing. Also, I can run a rear USB 3.0 hub and a KVM switch from a Windows 10 desktop on a Macbook Pro and it works great. NOTE FOR DEVELOPERS: If you often share your screen with others, the ultrawide screen is not for you. . You have to keep sharing/sharing windows because when you share your entire screen, it looks small and has black bars at the top/bottom for another person to see. This is a big problem because when you're running a demo, you usually want the IDE, terminals, and browsers open. Good luck sharing/resharing multiple windows during the demo.
