I just bought two new monitors this year, and went with 24 inch 1440p. My reasons were:
* At the distance I sit they look fine to me. In particular I don’t notice any jarring loss in resolution compared to my MacBook retina display which sits next to them.
* The “native” text size on a 24” 1440p monitor is perfect for me. Any smaller and I would struggle to read certain things.
* I was concerned about HiDPI scaling on linux. Fractional scaling was still “experimental” at the time I looked.
* I actually care more about other factors like the stand than 4k resolution, and would prefer to put my money towards that.
* When considering buying a single large monitor and running at native 4k resolution, I had concerns about screen sharing. Would people on smaller monitors have trouble with scaling? Also, having two separate monitors helps me with window management.
