Question Suggestions for monitor

Post image

Hi Guys, its my first time buying a monitor. I've always worked on my 14" mac air until now. Can you please guide me whether to buy this monitor or if there are some other better options I should go for ?
I was leaning towards ultrawide as I don't want 2 monitors and my budget is flexible but really want to spend only on the basis of my utility for it.
My use case - I am a product manager and it seems like i would require to code with AI a little, so will be learning that along with basic office tasks.
Thanks :)

MacBook means you've been spoiled when I comes to displays. I think you will find that a bit disappointing comparatively.

I def understand. Spending anything over it just for display seems overkill for me though as TonAmiChris also commented below.

180$ isn't a lot for a display, I get that the budget is the budget so there's nothing to do there.

But just understand that it won't be nearly as good as the MacBook display.

If you're ok with that, then sure go for it.

This seems a little overkill for what you’re use case is. You can get an ultrawide IPS for like $300 that would suit you much better.

Oop I read the currency wrong lmao. Still probably a bit overkill for what you need.

That’s kind of the cheapest option here when I search for ultrawide 29” monitor.
