mini paired with Hauwei's new 4.5K 3:2 monitor = iMac killer?

The disadvantage is that the technology lags behind the modern chips e.g. for several years they were still driving 4K displays using 2 cables and tiling, when 1 cable was possible with newer driver chips.

The quirky Dell UP2414Q was promptly replaced by the relatively trouble-free P2415Q in late 2014.
The Dell UP3214Q lived until late 2015 though, presumably because the market for affordable non-IGZO 32” panels had not yet been established.

I have always purchased Dell UltraSharp monitors, and have never been let down by them in the last 15 years.

There’s always the risk of getting a lemon. My U2711 (the first non-Apple 27” 1440p monitor) died after three and a half years and its built-in USB hub and card reader never worked properly since day one, sometimes causing the computer to fail to boot if connected. The panel was utterly awesome until it died though.

Talking about longevity, I have to mention the Apple Cinema HD Display 30". Despite all these years, it's still rocking with very usable and lovely vibrant colour 2K monitor! Typing in front of one as we speak! I am driving it from an M1 MBA!

How to connect two displays? Is it chaining?
Click to expand...
One via USB-C or DisplayPort, another via HDMI. Daisy-chaining non-Thunderbolt displays isn’t possible in macOS, and the MateView can't do it anyway.

Just about to pull the trigger on one of these monitors. Please can you confirm the Mateview works without issue with the Mac Mini M1?
Click to expand...
Using my 14" with it and no issues. I also have a friend who got a Mateview and works great with their M1 Mac mini.

I'll be returning the second MateView and asking for a replacement because it's visibly “crooked” to the left: height from desk to screen is about 5mm/0.2” lower on the left corner than on the right.

Received the replacement — and it’s also crooked to the left by about 2mm.

Or the sabrent thunderbolt 3 to dual DP 1.4 splitter, that’s what I’m using. Rick solid performance for my iMac 27” 2020 i9
Second thunderbolt port on my iMac is on a caldigit tb3 dock that also has displayport out but I prefer this method.

I absolutely love the mateview, gorgeous screen and looks very sleek. My only criticism as I’ve mentioned before was how HUAWEI cheaper out on ports, lacking dp1.4, tb3, hdmi 2.1 was plain daft

There are rumours that LG might refresh the Ultrafines with a 24.5 inch to match the current iMac. Still doesn't beat the Mateview though as it's 16:9. You get a nice sharp 218 dpi, but not much more working area than a 1080p 24 inch.

I wonder if the new MBPs being 255 ppi means other Macs and display(s) will be upgraded to a higher ppi as well. I wouldn’t mind 270 to 280 ppi so that the “More Space” setting would be pixel-perfect.

Anyone after a 16:18, 2560x2880, 138 ppi, Nano-IPS monitor?

LG just launched one today. Not for everyone, but this would beat the Mateview for coding - you'd fit a lot more lines on the screen. :)

I love the aspect ratio, but not the resolution.
 
I guess they managed to make a 21.5" QHD (2560x1440) panel, and this is simply two of those together without cutting the silicon wafer.

The sharpness should be fairly good. I have a 23.8" QHD panel, its significantly better than a standard monitor, and this is slightly more pixel dense.

I find it interesting that LG claim that most common neck pain is from side-to-side movement. It seems with this monitor you would be doing quite a lot of up/down movement.

... which I, having used 24" and 27" 16:9 monitors in portrait mode, found to be a source of major neck pain for me.
With that being said, I wouldn't mind Eizo updating their 1:1 monitor with a 3840×3840 panel.
