MST isn't a proprietary BenQ method of daisy-chaining displays, it is just the Multi-Stream Transport in the DisplayPort spec.

Ahhh my mistake! Thought it was a benq thing

I recently brought an LG Dual Up. 100% the best monitor I have ever had for programming

I've been running a dual monitor setup with two BenQ GW2480 since 2018 and I'm very happy with them.

I really love your channel. Thank you very much. Greetings from Argentina!

Because you write Java?

I went from a 1440p ultra wide to a 27 inch 4k. I don’t like ultrawide because I just want to focus on the one thing right in the middle in front of me

Cool monitor and great features! Probably I’ll need two of those 😂

great tech, great review, mate! ps: I have stranger things vibe from your intro :)

The built in kvm sounds brilliant. If I were actually writing code in my current role, I would definitely consider

Bro talks about catppuccin more than he breaths and I'm all for it 😂

Nice for the price but needs 5k at that size for sharp fonts. 164 PPI can't compete with Apple's 218. Create 21" high PPI square monitor with premium features, call it the BenQ VIM++ 21".

Hey man love ur videos! Can you do a video on how u record on ur arch linux? if u r using obs can you share ur configs?

If the argument that the taller 3:2 ratio is better I'd like to offer at a similar price point the 28MQ7xx series by LG in a 16:18 . I've used one at a friend's office and if I could justify replacing my setup I would be very tempted.

ngl, the auto contrast correction is something i really need !

I’ve always gone for and recommended the Lenovo ThinkVision USB-c monitor, which similarly have awesome high-resolution, matte displays with USB-c; that might all change now after seeing this BenQ.

I really like this aspect ratio, but the price for a 60 Hz non-OLED panel is a bit tough.

@@dillonoconnor6770 I have the Phillips ultrawide OLED monitor and I do not notice any fringing or anything. Sure on the earlier OLED models you probably got it but on my display I have none that I can notice. And I’m programming all the time.

If you liked the Apple Cinema Display for being 30” and 2560x1600 with a matte screen, then how do you feel about the Dell UP3017?

0:36 I have a hard time understanding Midwestern accents so I'm going to assume I misheard and you correctly identified the best albums ever as Larks' Tongues in Aspic and Red.

60hz is the dealbreaker

Matte screen is not as good as mine. Glossy screens reflect very sharply at particular angles. Matte screens scatter light in every direction, which means glare is less noticeable, but it glares at any angle. Therefore, I prefer a glossy screen as I can set the light source out of the reflection angle and have much better contrast.

Instant buy if it were high refresh rate (144hz+, though I could possibly live with 120). Don’t care if it increased the price. Am still waiting for such a monitor with at least 16:10 aspect ratio.

21:9 is, subjectively, the only way to go.

Dasung 253 is amazing

Neovim Harpoon setup??

I look for 4K monitor with dock-in station, where you connect one cable and have everything out of box, I see only Dell monitors support it, not sure about others

built-in halo light is super cool

60hz for console is absolutely fine, even for casual gaming. I like >=27 inch 4k more space for tmux.

It is only 60Hz, should be higher like at least 144Hz.

ahh, slap 120hz+ on this and it will be awesome

You should check out the LG Dual-Up. It is a 16:18

You're going to probably have to learn multiple languages at some point anyway so I'd say start with whichever one you find the most fun and keeps you motivated to continue learning! That being said, C++ will probably give you a better idea of manually doing the memory management that rust is doing behind the scenes for you.

Take this to your grave gets mentioned I start nodding.

Shame it's not 144hz, otherwise I'd have jumped on this like a rabid dog.

The color features seem cool but this just seems like an overpriced gimick display.... I'd like to have all of these features be more common but they should either be in software, or standardized hardware like a vesa mount or separate LED system...

total scam, gamer screens are 2x cheaper, for better specs. The selling point of this thing "it has cool menu lol" All others selling points are already on every screens, or are fake. "MST Thing" -> it's literraly the laptop that does everything, and it's out for more than 5 years.
