Hi guys. Which monitor 4k you recommend for Cubase? Thanks
I actually donāt recommend a 4k monitor, unless its larger than 43 inches.
Thanks Steve Which monitor you would recommend?
Personally, I hit the sweet spot for my purposes with two cheap monitors. I think itās difficult to by a bad display these days, since gaming requires such high specs, even cheapos work for daws.
My two displays are a 32 inch 2560x1440 Acer (ET322QU) and a 22 inch 1920x1080 Acer SB220Q. I arrange them like this:
(I use the vertical space for sheet music)
Ah ok. I have a 27 inch Acer Predator monitor XB 3 2560 x 1440. Thanks Steve
Yeah, youāre good to go. If you need more space buy another! Or save your money
Thanks Steve for your advise. I appreciate it.
I had a 2-monitor setup quite similar as above, but changed 8 months ago for a single 4k, and I greatly prefer this setup!
I got the LG Ergo flexible arm and canāt say enough good things about it.
The comfort of always having the monitor at the right position is gold to me.
As a bonus: the included USB-C cable plugs directly into my iPad Pro (no dongles) or into my laptop, and it doubles as a charger.
Gadgets aside, the picture quality is perfect for the job.
That is a nice high-end monitor. I actually checked it out recently- but since I already have my 32" on an articulating arm, I bought a second chepie.
How are you handling the embarrassingly bad HiDPi plugin debacle that continues to plague us, the āearlyā adopters of the āvirginalā tech that known as a 4K monitor?! (spoiler: iām getting kinda def up with this now lolā¦)
Do you simply turn off HiDPi and run in a lower cloudier blurrier mess? ā¦
A 4k monitor (3840x2160) has 4x the pixel count of regular full-HD (1920x1080), but if you run it 1:1 without any scaling, the text is crazy-small and unreadable unless you sit close to a 40-inch+ screen.
So I had to apply some scaling, but found a recipe without any blurring (canāt stand it!) and that still gives more info than using 2x full-HD screens.
Iām not at home right now and donāt have access to the details here.
So, instead of relying on my unreliable memory⦠Iāll get back with details in a few days.
I know the image is 100% crisp, not blurry at all and I have a ton of info on screen.
And BTW, I also have a 4k 15-inch on my laptop and love it⦠after figuring the right settingsā¦
thereās a menu on every plugin to allow to resize so regardless of the plugin itself being hidpi or not Cubase will resize it.
I have no issues with ANY plugins and I donāt have great eyesight either.
Iām on a 32 inch 4k monitor.

Yeah, that resize option really doesnāt work on all plugins though iām afraid. Iām a big user of Native Instruments and Waves and they both fall very short on support unfortunately⦠4K 32" user here too.
I use several plugins from both without issues.
Anything specific?
Iāll gladly share my recipe when I get back home.
I run a 32ā 4k monitor and find at full scale itās ok. I donāt like scaling as it seems pointless having a 4k monitor.
you must have fresh, young eyes.
No I have glasses for computer screens which work remarkably well
right on!
Hello @Y-D
Could you also share your recipe with me?
Iām having a really hard time getting rid of blurry waveforms.
Thanks
I āve got a Samsung 50āā QLED screen, around 1.8m away, resolution is 4096x2160, scaling set to 200%, image is super sharp, everything readable and crisp. Hope that helps
