One of my new year's resolutions is to upgrade the monitor on my Fedora 23 Desktop. I've been looking at a 34" curved 3440 x 1440 monitor. But first I want to make sure it actually makes sense to get such a large monitor for Linux and that there's a graphics card on the market that works well with Fedora and that can drive such a large monitor. I would prefer an open source driver, but I'm prepared to install a blob if I have to. I'm not interested in gaming so that's not an issue, it's the real estate I'm after. Any thoughts/recommendations?
Are you sure you really want such a large monitor? I'm sitting about 24" away from a 24" monitor, and I don't see how I'd want a larger one, unless perhaps I were doing CAD design, where it would be helpful to see more (or all) of whatever you're designing all on one page at the same time. And of course, turn your head to the relevant part of the screen. I would suggest you'd think hard about spending that much money on a monitor that you might not really want once you had it. Just a thought. --doug -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
