27" or 29" Monitor For Music Production?

[Straight2Vinyl]

So I did some searching and it looks like I could get a 1440p 27" monitor for 299. Is it worth the extra $100 for a 27" 1440p over an ultrawide 1080p? I think the one area where the 29" 1080p would have an advantage is in viewing the timeline, where you could see further ahead.
Is there any benefit to a 29" 1080p over the 27" 1440 at all?
EG. More plugin space, splits screen etc.?

Given that here the 1080 or 1440 is the absolute height in pixels, Im afraid I have to hedge my answer a bit without being absolutely sure what width you mean. To see the most ahead (in time) on the timeline you want the biggest width in pixels.

So, if I hazard a guess that your ultrawide 1080p is 2560x1080 and the 27" 1440p is 2560x1440, then you'd see exactly the same 'time' on the timeline.... and if the 29" is $100 cheaper then I guess why not.

What the 2560x1440 would give you over the 2560x1080 is about 33% more height, ie more tracks on the timeline vertically.

Thanks for this. If the difference in what I'd see on the timeline is negligible that would cut out the biggest advantage of the 29 inch ultrawide, other than price.
Sorry for being a pain in the ass with the questions. Monitors are the last thing I ever give thought to, but I figured I might as well get a decent one since I just built a fairly high end machine for production.

Either 30+ or one of those new super wide screen jobbies.

I just got a 32" (so called, but actually only 31.5") 2560 x 1440 AOC AOC Q3279VWFD8 for £199 from Scan. Might not be suitable if you also want to play modern games...

I actually found a 32" today for the same price as the 27" with 2560 x 1440. That's probably the winner. And I haven't played any games in a few years, so it's not an issue at all.
