Hi guys, wondering if someone can give me some options and explain to me what the best monitor would be for pairing with a MacBook Pro Retina? Obviously the quality of the Retina Display is amazing so I'm looking for a monitor to be very close to it in terms of this. Apple Cinema Display is not an option unfortunately as it is very expensive and I don't even know if it is that good.
The main things I'm using it for are browsing and coding, perhaps a movie every now and then. No gaming on the MBP but it would be a good extra to have as I do have a PS3. Looking for at least 27".
Also, considering my needs, would 4K monitors be a good option?
Thanks!

It would be good to have the 3440x1440 version of this monitor as you like retina display. If you do video, image or music editing then all the tools can be on the left or right of the screen. You could play the playstation at 16:9 mode with black borders on sides. But if you did do pc gaming in the future alot of games do support 21:9 there.
4k 27" monitor is also good as it's got higher pixel count. Make sure it's 60hz though and has display port input.
I would say they're brilliant for any software that operates in a timeline fashion, from anything like music DAW's to video editing software.. Personally I decided the 3440x1440 monitor was best for my work, I work as a composer, so the extended horizontal aspect without it being split on two monitors is like gold dust to me..
I do use it to play games mainly Diablo 3, but I'm sure the 4K monitors 16:9 or 16:10 would be far better.. Expect you'll need a beast of a graphics card to play games at 4K in the future...

benq do one as well if you got a grand to spare :confused:#
That's not a 21:9 aspect monitor.. It's also 24" and 4K. They're quite far apart in terms of likeness, personally I wouldn't compare the two..

Beautiful monitor, shame they don't do 144hz versions of these... Since I switched to 144hz, my 60hz feels disgustingly slow!!

This looks like a cracking deal shame it's not 3440*1440. However I think they are about £800 if you want one with freesync

Good price. I think ultrawide is the way ahead rather than 4k, which is just a waste of pixels - running taxing games at high settings is beyond any single graphics card as it's 8 times as many pixels. It may sound obvious, but this monitor is exactly the same as a 27" 1920*1080 monitor but a few inches wider - 25% more pixels at the same dpi - so if you can run 1080p games you can drive this.
They do 29" ultrawide at this resolution - basically a wider version of a 23" 1920*1080 - they are a little cheaper.
Unless you have to sit more than a 3 feet from your monitor there isn't much benefit in getting the 34" at this resolution... except the big ones look amazing on your desk.
Personally I'm waiting for a 34" 3440*1440 to hit £350, by then we'll have a next gen 980ti. Should be good!

nice deal for ultrawide freesync. Pair this with an R9 390 to take full advantage.
