Does Size Matter

The LG Ultra Wide Display: A Review of the 34UC87C

As I can be seen from the video, the LG ultra wide display is quite large, barely fitting into the space where it's being displayed. This particular model is the 34UC87C, which shares similarities with my triple monitor setup on my desk and in my office. However, there are some key differences between this and my current setup. For one, this model does not have a Thunderbolt port, making it an attractive option for those who don't require this feature.

Fortunately, the 34UC87C can still work seamlessly with Macs, thanks to its HDMI output. Many Apple laptops come equipped with an HDMI port, which allows users to connect this display to their device. Additionally, there is a display port option available if you prefer to use that instead. Furthermore, this IPS panel offers four screen split options, allowing users to set up different workspaces and improve productivity.

In my setup, I have three of these or very similar models (the UC97), which are nearly identical but lack the adjustable stand feature that I find useful. This particular model is a compromise that might appeal to those who want a wide display without breaking the bank. With its IPS panel and 3440x1440 resolution, this display offers excellent viewing angles and is suitable for multitasking.

When unboxing the LG ultra wide display, you'll notice that it comes with all the necessary cables, including a display port, HDMI, and a few USB expandability options. The display itself is encased in a dark gray or metallic-looking material, complete with a locking mechanism at the bottom. It's worth noting that there's a piece of styrofoam inside the box, which has the curvature of the display. When installing the stand, it's recommended to place the display down onto this foam piece for optimal stability.

One question that comes to mind is why one would want a super wide or ultra wide display like this. In my case, I find that it's useful for multitasking and setting up multiple windows at once, whether it's text documents, email clients, browser windows, or even multiple YouTube videos. This extra real estate can significantly improve productivity, especially when working on a laptop.

The fact that this display has an IPS panel is also worth mentioning. As you may know, IPS displays offer the best viewing angles of any display technology. In this case, we have a 3440x1440 resolution, which is ideal for many applications, including Hollywood cinema. This native format is particularly important because it provides an immersive experience that's hard to match with other resolutions.

In the video, I mentioned that playing videos from my second channel on YouTube can be done seamlessly using this display. The display's ability to handle multiple windows and tasks at once makes it an excellent choice for content creators and anyone who needs to work with multiple applications simultaneously.

In conclusion, the LG ultra wide display is a great option for those who want a large screen without breaking the bank. With its IPS panel, 3440x1440 resolution, and four screen split options, this display offers excellent viewing angles and improved productivity. Whether you're a content creator or simply someone who needs to work with multiple applications at once, this display is definitely worth considering.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys lou here back with another video and as you can tell today it's something rather large in fact so big that it barely fits into the space here this is a 34 inch monitor from lg very similar to the triple monitor setup that i have on my desk in in my office but this one's a little bit different it now has an adjustable stand and it doesn't have the thunderbolt port so if that's not something that's important to you this might be a good solution it is the 34uc87c it will still work on mac many apple laptops have an hdmi out you can use that with this or you can use an adapter cable to get from thunderbolt to displayport or something else it's an ips panel it has a four screen split option if you want to set up different workspaces 3440 by 1440. again i have three of these or very similar models in my setup they are the uc97 i believe without the adjustable stand which is something that i kind of wish they had so this might be a cool compromise so let's go ahead jump inside the box and check it out wow they give you all the cables display port hdmi i have one just in case little cable management screws now i noticed right away this one is black on the back my uc 97s are like a goldish color here is the adjustable stand cool so just four simple screws now a key thing to remember there's a piece of styrofoam inside the box which has the curvature of the display and they advise for you to place the display down onto it when you're working on installing the stand okay so this is like a dark gray kind of metallic look the bottom here we have the locking mechanism oh hello i always forget how big these monitors are it's amazing i have three of these on my desk or three that are this size in this space here it's just massive look how big look at that okay look at that wow so the question is why would you want a super wide or ultra wide display like this one besides the fact that they just look incredibly cool well in my particular case it's usually quite boring it's just work it's multitasking i can set up many windows whether that's a text document an email client or multiple browser windows or even multiple youtube videos yes it can play youtube videos you can even play videos from my second channel more top five if you haven't checked it out yet you definitely should also this is the native format of a lot of hollywood cinema 21x9 to be more specific the fact that it's an ips display is important because you're going to get probably the best viewing angles of any display technology now in this case we have the display hooked up to a 13-inch macbook pro and as you know if you work on a laptop this extra real estate can really improve your productivity it's connected to the hdmi port but as mentioned before you have a display port option if you prefer to use that and there's also usb expandability so if you have a laptop setup with this you can leave some peripherals connected to the display anyway guys that wraps up this video on the new lg ultra wide display and i've already forgotten the model name so if you want more information pricing and availability the links will be down
