    Monitor suggestion for 2019 MBP

    Last year I replaced my 2 Apple Cinema Displays with a single 43" LG monitor. Having given it a year, I just can't take to it. This week I bought an LG 34" ultrawide on Amazon for £450 but the colours were so off that I'm returning it. I think I might need to increase my budget given the...
