I run a 43" 4K at my office, and have to conclude that I'd prefer more horizontal space (thus 2 smaller screens side-by-side, or an utlra-wide).
I contribute 2 reasons:
- The vertical space on a 43" is too much, you have to tilt your head up to see the upper region of the screen, which is not ergonomic.
- I currently run MacOS, which has horrible window management, as a result I regularly find myself piling up a whole bunch of windows in the lower center of the screen, leaving about 1/3 of the screen unused.
Situation: sitting desk, 80cm depth, sitting in the center of the screen, MacOS with stock window manager.
I'll probably hang this 43" on the wall as a dedicated grafana monitor (who doesn't love the eye candy) and place a ultrawide on my desk once I replace my aging apple laptop with something more capable of driving such display.
- skinnymuch 8y agoWhat Mac window manager do you use?

- _trampeltier 8y agoI also rarely use the full height from my 43" monitor. I have an 32" monitor beside from another machine, but I still use mostly more vertical space than the 32" monitor would give me. A big plus is no scaling, so no problem with my Windows Notebook (rarely) or Linux (main machine).
