THIS IS FAR from the first 38-inch nearly-4K ultrawide monitor on the market. But the Eizo FlexScan EV3895 is unusual in that it is aimed squarely at the professional productivity market, if not actually at content creation pros.
In fact, there are a few good reasons why we haven’t seen a 38-inch, 21:9 curved productivity panel before. The curvature isn’t necessarily a benefit when it comes to getting stuff done as opposed to, say, gaming immersion. Likewise, the 3,840 by 1,600 native resolution is a bit betwixt and between, falling short of full 4K and so limiting native workflows to 1080p, or at a pinch, 1440p.
The large panel size also translates into a relatively low pixel density, which isn’t optimal for font rendering, general image sharpness, and detail. A ‘conventional’ 16:9-aspect 32-inch or 27-inch 4K monitor offers more pixels, better pixel density, and the potential for more desktop space depending on your scaling preferences. It’s also worth noting that the Eizo FlexScan EV3895 is a pure SDR rather than HDR, panel.
