32' 4K Curved Monitor Opinions?


@newmann

DELL monitors are awesome. They have connections for everything and are practically indestructible.
I especially like the DELL Ultrasharp monitors.
I have a DELL U3011, that I bought in 2013 and it's still going strong.
And that includes having it fall off the computer desk about 2 years ago. :-)

DELL Ultrasharp - curved monitors


View attachment 79187
Thanks for the response. I actually have a 20' 1600x1200 dell ultrasharp monitor i bought 15 plus years at least that still works great. I no longer use it though because I don't have access to it normally but that dell monitor is very good.


So would you say that Dell 32' 4k curved is very good then? It's probably the best 32' 4k monitor out of all other 32' 4k monitors that is also VA and 60hz? Again, I only need 60hz so that 144hz and IPS thing... I don't care about at all. There are lot of 32' 4k flat monitors on amazon when you check LG and some samsung. There seems to be only 2 monitors that are 32' 4k curved that is VA and 60hz and it's this dell one and a samsung one. Buit surely this Dell 32' 4k curved is one of the best monitors you can get? Let say you want a 32' 4k curve monitor and want one just so you can use it whenever you can have access to it. Surely the dell 32' 4k curved is very good option?

You could buy two wall mounts and mount them at a comfortable height for you and at a comfortable distance apart from each other. This will give you more table space so your stuff has less chance of falling on your floor and getting dirty.
I thought about a wall mount. The thing is would it be easy to do this with a 32' 4k monitor and a 24' 1920x1200 monitor next to each other? What about a 32' 4k curve and 32' 4k monitor or 32' 4k curve and 24' 1920x1200? I assume mounting a curve monitor would be very hard and look awkward? You are right mounting it on the wall will save you space and when you do that... I mean you could have a 4 foot folding table and that would still be fine right since you just have to push back your folding table since there is no monitors taking space on the 4 foot folding table?


The thing is I never mounted anything before but if you were to move to another apartment, how hard/easy would it be to unmount it and mount it again?

I had a curved 32" 1080P and a 28" 4K next to each other and I never had a neck strain issue.

BTW,, curved monitors rock

For only $1200, you too can own a DELL 49" Curved Ultrasharp...
So would you say that Dell 32' 4k curved is very good then?


If you're gonna get DELL... get an Ultrasharp. Any of these...

DELL Ultrasharps



They cost a little bit more... but that's because they're filled with goodness. :-)

You don't have to buy it from DELL. Search for the model number on PCPartPicker, to find the lowest prices.
Like this one is $719.99 at DELL, but $659 at B&H Photo...

That is a lot of money to me for a monitor. Also the 49' curved ultrasharp, what resolution is that? I want 4k resolution and not any lower as that wouldn't work for what I do. Also I don't need 144hz or IPS. I have no problem with a VA panel even though the samsung 32' 4k I have, the colors seem a bit washed but it doesn't bother me. The best monitor setup for me I believe would be two 32' 4k curved monitors. That would require me to buy 2 monitors.

I already have a 32' 4k monitor and two 24' 1920x1200 monitors where I only use one of the 24'. So if I get a 32' 4k curve, I could use it with the other 32' 4k or maybe the 24' 1920x1200.

Unless you know something about carpentry I would get someone with carpentry skills to mount them. To remove the mounts just remove the screws and fill in the holes. Looking at my curved monitor I don't see any problem mounting a curved monitor as compared to a flat monitor as long as it has the mounting holes.
Edit: Just to let you know, ' = Feet and " = inches.

Okay so assuming no mounting at all and just buying a new bigger folding table and thus I could put the current 32' 4k flat monitor back a lot more.

Do you think a 32' 4k curved monitor would be better viewing wise or not compared to a 32' 4k fflat monitor?

@newmann ,

You have an identical topic over at Bleeping Computer under the name paulyjustin:

32' 4K Curved Monitor Opinions? - External Hardware

According to this post in that BC topic, you have two topics here on this very subject.

32' 4K Curved Monitor Opinions? - External Hardware

You have similarly opened simultaneous topics on the same issue on multiple Forums, wasting people's time.

Surge Protector Recommendations? - Page 2 - External Hardware

And that is just two of the topics you have posted in multiple Forums simultaneously in the recent past. I can easily provide more, and you use different names in most of the various Forums you post in, with the exception of Ten Forums. I have also seen you over at the Dell Forums with a different name, but posting there what you have posted elsewhere.

It seems you won't take the advice offered in any of your many topics in the many Forums, but just drag them out endlessly. In the case of this topic at BC, the members there have gotten wise to you and are starting to ignore you, myself included. There seems to be no way to satisfy you.

It seems to me that you must crave attention. You are breaching a fundamental rule of Forum netiquette here and elsewhere. Post once in one Forum only at any one time. I myself had a topic about copy speeds here that ran for 100 posts, and the pros here could not provide a solution. Only then did I open a topic at Bleeping Computer, but both this Forum and BC were informed of my previous topic here and my new topic there.

I see that you now have 298 posts and a reaction score of 4 here. That confirms what I have observed of you both here and elsewhere where you are posting. You are not helping people; you are demanding that they pay attention to you.

I am not a Moderator here, but I have to wonder how you merited VIP status on this Forum.

May I respectfully suggest that you pick a Forum, post your problem, take the advice, move on, and if you can help others, do so.

That's just my two cents. I will be ignoring you here and elsewhere henceforth unless you reply and provide me with information that would help me understand your motivation for your conduct on the many Forums you frequent.

Phil

I didn't think i cared about IPS panels, but then when I started running dual monitors and bought an IPS panel, I was blown away by how much better the colors are. It doesn't darken down based on the angle that you are looking at the screen from.

I recently picked up a 27" Acer VA panel for my mac mini which i got used for like $75...and compared to that 27" Asus ProArt IPS panel I was using, it's hot garbage. No amount of futzing with the settings can make it seem not washed out and awful. Luckily it's only used occasionally. At some point, I'll replace it and relegate it to the crash card for emergency purposes only.

I never skimp on my monitors anymore. You look at your computer and interface with the monitor 100% of the time. This is not the place in my opinion to save money or go cheap.
