    Yup, the way they’re angled you can’t really tell. OSX’s scaling keeps Windows the exact same size between displays which is super nifty. At the moment I have a 10-bit 55″ UHD TV for client viewing. I run UHD from FCPX via HDMI, and 2k via my Thunderbolt Ultrastudio Express. Want one of their 4K models now that I’m coloring a lot of 4K, but I don’t want to drop $3,000 and their $1,000 one is in need of a refresh.

    I too like the idea of going with one widescreen curved monitor and plan to when I can BUT don’t know if LG will be on my shopping list. I have 2 of the high-end ($1,000 each) 27″ LG’s and one died recently, right as the warranty expired. I’ve never had a monitor backlight just whack out before, I’ve had monitors look tired after a few years but never just fail. So I’ll be looking at Samsung, Dell, HP whatever and buying an extended warranty next time.

    It was at a Vegas premiere that I resolved to become an avid FCPX user.

    I’ve had a flat one for… ages, since a couple months after they came out. Love it. It’s the “second” monitor for my iMac. I had to put it on a tale case of all things to get it to line up with the iMac screen, but it great, no matter what NLE/DAW/Random apps are on it. 🙂

    I tried a colleague’s flat LG and didn’t like it, so bought a curved one and love it. I don’t think of it being curved, it just looks ‘right’… The flat one looks distorted when you look at it due to perspective – it’s a pretty wide setup. Hope that helps.
