Efficient work at home with a 34-inch wide aspect ratio of 21: 9! iiyama display "ProLite XUB3493WQSU" option

With the effects of the new coronavirus protracted, it seems that home work has become established as a general way of working in the "new normal" era. Companies that have decided to telework as a temporary measure have begun to seriously work on reforming their work styles, including digitizing back office operations, improving personnel systems, and in some cases reducing or relocating offices. ..

On the other hand, there is a difference in work efficiency between an office originally designed as a place to work and a home designed as a place to live. Many will reaffirm how easy it was to work in the workplace, including chairs, desks, lighting, air conditioning, network environments, and decorations such as flower arrangements and planting.

However, if you limit your work to work with a PC, the efficiency can be greatly improved by introducing an external display. The effect is as introduced in the points of choosing an external display for home work and the layout that combines a notebook PC and an external display. A 23-inch to 27-inch display with full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) can be introduced at low cost, so the cost performance is very high.

However, of course, a display with a wide screen and high resolution tends to be more efficient. Although it is a trade-off between cost and installation space, some people who are looking for a more comfortable working environment may be considering multi-display using multiple displays side by side. Therefore, I would like to pay attention to the ultra-wide display with an aspect ratio of 21: 9.

The ultra-wide display has a long screen size and can be used by displaying different windows on the left and right of the dual display. Also, in an environment where two displays are used side by side, the narrow bezel width is important (a small seam between screens eliminates the sense of discomfort), but with an ultra-wide display, there is no screen seam in the first place. It is also a point that the video input from the PC and the pedestal space in contact with the desk are enough for one unit. Here, let's introduce the "ProLite XUB3493WQSU" (hereinafter referred to as "XUB3493WQSU") scheduled to be released in late April 2021 from the iiyama display of the mouse computer.

Increase efficiency with a large desktop area of ​​3440 x 1440 pixels

As mentioned above, the aspect ratio of XUB3493WQSU-B1 is 21: 9. A typical wide display has an aspect ratio of 16:10 or 16: 9, so the screen size is quite long. Since the resolution is 3440 x 1440 pixels, the width is narrower than when two full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) ProLite XUB2493HSU (hereinafter, XUB2493HSU) are lined up, but the vertical resolution is wider. Since there is no seam in the center, the degree of freedom in window layout is high.

For example, when arranging three windows side by side, full HD x 2 (3840 x 1080 pixels) is wider in terms of resolution, but the LCD frame is in the center, so no matter how narrow the bezel display is, it still feels strange. There is. There is no problem when displaying an even number of windows such as two, but it is not suitable for displaying an odd number of windows such as three or five. On the other hand, the XUB3493WQSU, which has a large desktop area on one screen, does not have such disadvantages.

Another point is that the vertical resolution is high. 1440 pixels is the same as WQHD (2560 x 1440), which is one rank higher in aspect ratio of 16: 9, and it has a higher listability when displaying Web pages, portrait documents, and Excel sheets. In general office work, there are many situations where high vertical resolution is advantageous, which should lead to improved work efficiency.

On the other hand, the long horizontal screen is also convenient for editing videos and music. When editing content that cuts or trims on the time axis, there are many UIs that operate on a horizontally extended timeline, and the wider the screen is, the easier it is to grasp the entire and detailed contents. In addition, there are many windows in which materials and effects used for content are arranged, and the wider the screen size, the easier it is to use. Although it is not a general office work, if you are a department that produces creative content in-house, you may consider Ultra Wide Display in this respect.

A higher-grade option for home work "XUB3493WQSU"

The appeal of the XUB3493WQSU is that it can realize a wide desktop area of ​​34 inches (3440 x 1440 pixels) on a single screen. The ultra-wide display makes a considerable angle when you look at both ends from the position facing the screen, but since the XUB3493WQSU uses an IPS panel with a wide viewing angle (viewing angle is 178 degrees each in the vertical and horizontal directions), you can see it. The tone does not collapse depending on the position, and a beautiful gradation is realized even when displaying a landscape such as a blue sky. The color gamut is as wide as 100% sRGB coverage.

In many cases, home desks and chairs are not "for work", but the XUB3493WQSU is equipped with a tilt, swivel, and a multifunctional stand with a 130mm lifting mechanism, even if there are restrictions on installation. Can respond flexibly. The adoption of the Blue Light Reducer function that reduces the blue light source and the flicker-free LED that suppresses flicker on the screen should also help prevent eyestrain caused by long hours of work.

The price of XUB3493WQSU is planned to be around 60,000 yen. Since the XUB2493HSU is 26,180 yen (Rakuten market price), additional investment is required even if you compare the one-sheet configuration of the XUB3493WQSU and the two-sheet configuration of the XUB2493HSU. However, with a two-display configuration, the cables to be connected are doubled, and two more pedestal spaces are required. Especially for thin and lightweight business notebook PCs, there are many cases where the video output is only one HDMI output, and a USB terminal and a video terminal conversion cable are required to connect two displays.

On the other hand, with the ultra-wide XUB3493WQSU, a wide work area for about two screens can be obtained with a single HDMI cable. Beyond that, the freedom of window layout by realizing a large desktop area with one sheet and the stress-free work environment that is not disturbed by the bezel should enhance the concentration of work. For those who want to work efficiently while displaying a lot of materials as well as creative work, why not consider XUB3493WQSU instead of dual display.
