Nice to see your smiling face again Ward, glad you're happy with your purchases.

Epic review. That phone on the wall is taking me back. Ah the good ole days.

Thank you for the monitor arm recommendation, I just got this monitor and was looking at others that were much more expensive and it looks like that one will do the job just fine.

Yeah, the only problem with it is the bottom joint where it attaches to the desk does not articulate, but it seems like that can be worked around, perhaps with an odd-ball orieentation of the base.

I think I find this more helpful than the "non-lite" reviews. Plus I'm here for the side commentary (best keyboard, review of reviewers, practicalities vis. porn site specs).

Funny review, I enjoyed watching it all the way to the end, it was more entertaining than informative, but that's just perfect :D

This was such a refreshing review to watch 😂😅

Best review ever 🙌😁

Thank you for calling out all those weirdo conformists and their single tiny potted plant. Also my jaw dropped when you started talking about porn. This was a very surprising and enjoyable video

EXCELLENT REVIEW, I especially loved the section on Porn! You rock boss.

Just what I wanted to hear

Did not expect the porn review 🤣🤣😂

This review was so refreshing (after watching so many simillar videos). Thank you! I have 2 questions, I've noticed people complain about 2 things about this monitor - 1. build-in adapter coil whining, 2. flickering and image retention. Have you experienced it with your unit?

@WardCo

Жыл бұрын

No, so far it's behaving perfectly (been about 6-8 weeks I guess). But I know some of the people I read about who had the flickering problem didn't have it develop until around 6 months in. So we'll see. I'm actually really liking the immersive quality of the thing, so I hope it keeps working!

Haha, haven’t heard anyone else include porn in their monitor review, very funny:).

It shocked me

Hi, firstly great video. Honest and something very helpful for me to decide. I just have one small question, does the macOs scaling is bad as I read somewhere it stated that it is very small as I intend to connect the monitor to my Mac mini M2. If you could advise. Thanks Amit

I watched all the reviews on this. Your is the best!!! (I mean, non of those guys covered the porn sights)🤣🤣🤣 Nice job!

Can you daisy chain out to a USB-C SSD drive like the Samsung T7?

I received my 40wp95c today I had to change scaling to smallest(all the way to the right). to get it the same size as a normal 27" 1440p. the default setting everything was overblown, like 1080 on 27"

turned my brightness down to around 40% or it was to bright.

I hated super wide screen (21:9) as the viewable height was too short for apps for the small monitors when they first came out. The 40" has a 15" viewable height, so you can comfortably open an app, without losing half the space by tool/status bars.

Yeah, the good thing about the "5K" is it has the "dot-height" of a 4K monitor. The bad thing is those dots are small. I'm mostly liking it now, though I do throw things on the old 1K Dell to the side sometimes to embiggen them.

It's a 2007 Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP 1K monitor. Looks like Dell still makes a model with this number. Here is an old C-NET review www.cnet.com/reviews/dell-ultrasharp-2407wfp-review/

No. As I said, the MacStudio drove it natively.

Hi WardCo, if turn on "Thunderbolt Out On", does it cap to 50hz? My monitor can't go above 50hz unless if I turn off the "Thunderbolt Out Off"

Oh, this is interesting. Mine is running at 50hz and I didn't really care because I don't game and found that plenty, but thought it odd. But I *think* I have "Thunderbolt out" ON for the 1K display. Let me check and advise.

Man, you really took the juice out of your older montiors.

This is my favorite review on this monitor by far. +1 for the keep-it-real-porn-review 🤣

No apology necessary. I should have made it clear. Yeah, it's a an old Logitech C920 from 2014. Which STILL has no EASY way to save its settings across boots on MacOS -- even though its default white balance is terrible.

Hahah brilliant 🤣 thanks for covering all the important details. Plant worthy 🪴
