Monitors 25 inch 21:9 or a 27 inch?

25 inch 21:9 UltraWide Monitors or a 27 inch?

I only do office work, stream movies a bit but no gaming whatsoever.

wondering if it's good to go 27 inch or try 21:9?

I don't care about brand name but say it's
LG Ultrawide 29" 21:9
vs
Philips 27" 16:9 1080p Display Comparison 29UB65-P

1. I never buy Philips, they are expensive and quality is so-so (the ones in Asia are shitty made)
2. for office work, best to get the most resolution monitor. I do a lot of brochures editing and stuff, 21:9 is awesome and very efficient. (4 A4 right in front of you to do editting). 2K is also a good choice if you are willing to spend a bit more.

If you are going 21:9, go 30+, if not, stay with 27 in 16:9.

i think buying 1080 pixels height monitors brand new in 2017 is a waste

get 1440p+ or 3840x1440 (not cheap)

Tried my 50' 4K TV with Windows, it doesn't seem to be efficient, a lot of head turning. If it is the smaller 4K monitor, you will put your face very close to the monitor. Icons are way too small.

21:9 with 3440 x 1440 is awesome, I have the Asus 34" one, but it is way too expensive for office, I am talking over $1000.

2K monitor 27" is great for every office use, but I have not found the best deal yet.
