If you need a large display, the 5K iMac isn't it. Right tools for the job may be different for different usersThis, basically.
"5K" makes it sound like this is a high-DPI display, but it's not. It is literally more than five thousand pixels wide, and fits the moniker in that sense, but a 5K iMac has twice the pixels despite being half the width, because it has double the density in each dimension.
If you want a "Retina" display, this one isn't it.
Correct. I have a Dell 34” Curved 21:9 UW. Same 1440 pixel height. Not 4K or 5K. Doesn’t have 2160 pixel height. 4K and 5K should not be overall pixels due to width but should refer to lines of pixels.This, basically.

Can't speak from experience with an ultra wide monitor, but BetterTouchTool allows Mac users to enable window snapping in the same manner as Windows 7.
By default, it'd allow you to snap a window to each side, so it'd be like two 27 inch monitors, but you can create custom snap areas, so it can be divided up however the user wants.

Screens this large highlight the problems with a universal menu bar. The Windows approach (menu atop a window) would seem to be better.
would this work with my Mac Pro (see signature)?
At 34", LG 34WK95U-W is smaller, but I think it's superior in almost all other aspects -- higher resolution (5120 by 2160, or 5K horizontal and 4K vertical) with HDR output (600 nits) and Thunderbolt 3 input (although I think there's a bug that requires the monitor to use USB-C for full resolution for now).
DisplayFusion is an excellent program to have for multiple monitors - it will create per monitor task bars and segregate the icons by monitor. It can also auto-open applications in certain monitors, and add toolbar buttons for things like move to next monitor, move to next monitor maximized, move to certain size or place. It also supports dragging maximized windows to other monitors. And it is very extensible in C#.
I have two dell 27” thin bezel, absolutely love them.These 49" screens are only equivalent to 2x 27" (and with zero bezels), so aren't as crazy as they sound. There's no reason to go smaller, and 1080 vertical across the whole screen is too low IMHO.
We bought two of them today for a neurologist physician at a major USA hospital I support - The neurologist will stack the two screens on top of each other and use them to keep all of his patient charts open simultaneously. Great use case for these, I think. (Dell sells the appropriate stacking stand - Model: Chief KTP230B - $160 education) Also, the monitors are only $1206 - education.![]()
Sorry, could you explain what you two are talking about?Screens this large highlight the problems with a universal menu bar. The Windows approach (menu atop a window) would seem to be better.
LOL, please. Are you saying that because it doesn't have an Apple logo on it? Dell makes some really good monitors. Check out the Dell U2717D... solid monitor for real work (only thing it's missing is a faster refresh rate for gaming).
Stop lying.
If you look at the top of your screen, you'll see the Apple logo at left, and then a bunch of menu options that, when clicked, drop down more options. That's what they're referring to as a universal menu bar; the drop-down options change depending on what program has focus, but the bar is always at the top of the screen, and the things you can click always goes from left to right. By comparison, Windows has those menu options embedded at the top of each program window. The Mac way of doing things is cleaner, in a way, but on an extremely long display like this it means that you would need to move your mouse all the way to the upper left corner of the screen if you wanted to access that menu... which seems very inefficient from a productivity standpoint. If you were to use this monitor with Windows, your menu options would be in the program window you were using, and you wouldn't need to mouse around as much. (As far as I remember, the Windows menu options can also be accessed via keyboard; you can do this on the Mac, too, but whereas pressing "alt" on Windows tends to highlight the menu bar, you need to use control+F2 on a Mac to give the menu bar focus... which is far less obvious, and which I admit that I just learned despite 10+ years of Mac usage while researching a bit before writing this reply.)Sorry, could you explain what you two are talking about?
