4K vs Ultrawide - Which Monitor Format Is Right For You?

Video Description

If you've been considering a 4K vs. Ultrawide monitor, this video is for you. In this one, I go through the two different monitor formats for both gaming and productivity usage, and let you know the pros and cons of both. Note that I use my two monitors as examples, which are IPS panels, but aside from some IPS specific details, this information applies to all monitor types. As always, thank you very much for watching!
