Best monitor for DAW work (Digital Audio Workstations)

[Derpologist]

Alright, so I'm looking for a new monitor for my music studio computer (yes, its a mac, although will be a PC soon). My 21" LG IPS display, while very pretty, isnt cutting it anymore. I need a new monitor, so I wanted to start up this thread to discuss the best monitor for Digital Audio Workstation things. I use Logic Pro X (although planning to change to bitwig very soon). I am willing to spend about 800 or so US dollars. This can be stretched a bit. I'd love to invest in an LG Curved Ultrawide (found a great deal: http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-34UC87C-34-0-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00Y09G6JG/ref=sr_1_10?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1448165609&sr=1-10&keywords=lg+monitors ), but I'd love to do a two monitor solution of the same monitor. If we do two monitors, please make sure they have very small bezels, as when I dont have the main window open on my main display and the mixer and sample libraries on the other display, I stretch Logic across both displays.

 

Thanks!

dont do ultrawide, just go with regular 16:9

the vertical workspace is useful for all the tracks you will have on screen

 

also it would be really nice if you go with a 4k large screen like 40" or up

at 100% scaling you will get a ton of realestate, far more than any ultrawide

 

teksyndicate hardware has reviewed a bunch of 4k 40" monitors, I think they would work great for you

sadly theyre not curved, for curved you will need to look at samsung tvs, and those are $1k+

Hmm this is true, I didnt exactly think about the vertical length. I'll definitely look at a 40" 4k display though. Thanks!

Do you know of any 30" (ish) 2k (or maybe 1080p) displays that might be better in a dual setup?

 

Thanks again

two 30"-34" 140p displays would be good too, but they are just way too expensive and you would be buying two of them, so for $400 each you cant get a very good 1440p 30" display unless you want to risk some dead pixels and buy a korean brand
