I have the opposite problem... I have bad eyes, and use HUGE fonts and can basically only get 1 window per monitor... so I have 3 monitors setup: middle for editor left for browser/docs right for email, slack, irc

Similar to you, I've had to increase text sizes gradually over the past decade. Currently I have 3 monitors, from left to right: Portrait 1080x1920 22" Dell. Landscape 4K LG. Landscape 4K LG. Plus the macbook pro screen, but I hardly ever put stuff on it. I'm not a fan of the LG monitors I got, model "27UD68-W" in 27 inch. The standby light is bright white and flashes slowly, you have to switch the screen off to stop it. Which is a huge #firstworldproblem, I know, but no other monitor I've used has done this. I wish I had gotten a higher-refresh-rate screen with less than 4k resolution. Would really like to play some games at faster than 60fps.

Currently I have 3 monitors, from left to right I find using a dark themes for everything really helps...Maybe I'm returning to my roots, but I use a lot of Ambers, Greens and Yellows for good contrast without blinding myself. If your a VI(m) user, I found the 'elflord' colorscheme comes pre-installed on a lot of machines (just ':colorscheme elflord' to try it..) Its a decent starting point. On the other hand, I never seem to have enough light on my workbenches. I've fallen in love with ultra-bright LED fixtures from Home Depot for work area lighting... Dam screws get smaller ever year! (extendable magnetic 'wand' is awesome for finding them when you drop them...) > I'm not a fan of the LG monitors I got, model "27UD68-W" in 27 inch. I run 3 x LG 27UK650_600. Most of my gaming tends to be MMORPG stuff, so I don't need anything more then 60Hz. But I am wondering how they'll handle CyberPunk 2077
