Imagine you are used to 4k quantum dot HDR10 displays from FAANG. Would you be happy with some gaming monitor instead? A decent 5k2k monitor is $1100, 5k2.8k is $1300. 4k DCI EIZO is 4k+. You might want two of those as well.
- ellenhp 7y agoGoogle's standard issue monitors are standard density. FAANG employees aren't used to fancy monitors, and can certainly get by without them. Edited to remove a claim that I haven't seen 4k monitors, since I just realized the big displays we can get must be 4k. We can only have one of those though and they're not as fancy as you're claiming.
- Ambroos 7y agoDon't be ridiculous. I work for a FAANG company and we get great but very standard Dell monitors that are all well below $1100.
- magduf 7y agoI don't work at a FAANG company, but we do have some pretty nice hardware. I have 27" Dell monitors that I think cost about $800 each when new. (They're probably less now, they're a few years out-of-date by now.)
- jkachmar 7y agoThe monitor I have is a Samsung C27HG70, which _is_ a quantum for LED monitor. Although it’s not 4K, given the fact that it ships with a color calibration report I think calling it “some gaming monitor” is a bit silly. As someone who’s a bit of a picture quality fanatic (I preferred color accurate panel displays “before it was cool”, my television is a 4K HDR10 OLED, etc.) I think it’s quite ridiculous that you’d classify your suggestions as anything other than luxuriously decadent for most programming work.
