I use the Seiki 42" 4k TV which hovers around $300 (http://camelcamelcamel.com/Seiki-SE42UM-42-Inch-Ultra-Black/product/B00RBA9MOC http://camelcamelcamel.com/Seiki-SE42UM-42-Inch-Ultra-Black/...) as my primary development monitor. As a TV, color-correct, or a gaming monitor, it's rather dross, but as a wall of pixels to work on code, I will never go back to anything smaller. Ever.
- thebiglebrewski 10y agoThis is really interesting but yeah it almost seems like overkill for my use case! However I may be editing some 4K video too in the future (from a drone) so maybe this is the way to go.
- peller 10y agoHow far away do you find you have to sit?
- thatsethnz 10y agoYou dont. At 42 inches a 4k screen is basically four perfectly aligned 21 inch HD panels. Don't think 4k for smooth fonts and "retina" style pixel density. Think of it in terms of screen real estate.
- Tempest1981 10y agoSitting an arms-length away, I'm just imagining a lot of head movement going from the bottom (dock or taskbar) to top (menu bar or window title bar). Any tips? Maybe it works if you put only less-frequently-used windows up high. I've used a 30" display (at arms-length), and it felt nice, but already rather tall.

- ShirsenduK 10y agoI had but then I got a mini display port 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 active converter and that fixed the colours and fineness and best of all runs @ 60Hz
