To each their own but a single 27″ 4K monitor is my preference.
I would love to have something taller than 16:9 though, but I’m afraid that’s economically unfeasible to manufacture. 5:4 would be awesome (^_^)
- corrigible 5y agoI'm happy with a high-refresh (>= 120) 1440p 27", both for gaming and coding
- horrified 5y agoWhich one do you use?
- bloopernova 5y agoNot the person you asked, but I use an Acer XB273K GP 27" 4K as my middle/main screen. It does 120Hz just fine, is gsync too. I also have 2 LG 27UD68-W 27" 4K screens, one on the left in portrait mode, the other to the right in landscape. These were cheap, work fine at 60Hz, but have an incredibly annoying bright standby light that flashes every 2 seconds. There's no way to switch it off, the light comes through the menu joystick on the bottom of the monitor so you can't cover it with electrical tape. And the whole back of the monitor is white plastic, so it glows/reflects some of the LED light. Do not recommend!!
- horrified 5y agoThanks!
- corrigible 5y agoA Lenovo Legion Y27-Q20, the stand is pretty big but otherwise a great monitor
- horrified 5y agoThanks!
- BoxOfRain 5y agoCurrently using a 27" 4K monitor and I've never been happier! I have my laptop as a second screen though for a chat window, music, and other things like that while I'll have a browser, IDE, and terminal open on their own virtual desktops on the big screen. Full screen side by side apps are pretty great in this setup too, especially when dealing with things like LaTeX.
- flir 5y agoThat's the sweet spot I've settled on, too. Except two laptops because Reasons, one each side of the monitor, and a KVM switch to share the big screen between them.
- zz865 5y agoFor IPS there seems a big price difference between 27 and 32. I think 27 is good size.
- bloopernova 5y agoI have 3 27" 4K monitors. Left one is vertically/portrait aligned, so 2160x3840. Middle main one is standard landscape, as is the rightmost one. Lefty is great for documentation and tall command line windows.
- sgt 5y agoAlso on 27". That's the minimum and the maximum for me, I guess. Has to be 4K and Displayport.
- doubled112 5y agoAlso have a single 4K 28" Can confirm that is has to be DisplayPort "Oh cool, 4K@60Hz KVMs aren't expensive anymore," I thought. And then about 120 dollars in cables and adapters later, I can even get the 4K@60Hz signal to the monitor! Never had that issue with DP before. Never had it negotiate to a spec it couldn't transmit. Never had it drop out 30s in. HDMI is a mess.
- sgt 5y agoIndeed. What HDMI can technically on paper or what's in the specification poorly reflects the real world, sometimes.
