I‘m unable to find the combination of „4K“ and „curved“ and „affordable“. What model do you use?

I‘m unable to find the combination of „4K“ and „curved“ and „affordable“.
What model do you use?
- bee_rider 5y agoI got a decently inexpensive 2k curved Phillips monitor at the beginning of the pandemic. Pretty happy with it (lucky buy, given that I didn't know it would be my window to the world for a couple years). At the time at least, 4k was still quite expensive. I don't know how much benefit 4k provides at typical desktop usage distances. (328E9FJAB but I suspect you can find plenty that are just as good in the 2k range).
- klyrs 5y agoWell... I didn't say "affordable." I spent as much on this monitor as I spent on a laptop in grad school ($700ish). Three factors for me here: I transitioned to working from home and the expense was tax-deductable; I'm not in grad school anymore; I'm very frugal, so when do make a rare purchase, I go for quality.
- ManuelKiessling 5y agoCool. Would you mind sharing the make and model, though?
- klyrs 5y agoDell S3221QS This is not an endorsement. I've got some issues with the monitor -- it does something weird displaying certain patterns, which comes up for me occasionally. Also, sometimes, the curved screen bugs me, because straight lines aren't straight. YMMV
- nick__m 5y agoIt's quite decent, I use that when I work at the office, it can be bought for 550$cad if you wait for a sales. When I work from home I use a Samsung 49" ultrawide (5120x1440p@120Hz). Moving the taskbar vertically on the left and using Windows FancyZone make that a wonderful and productive experience. My wife says that I appear to work for mission control at NASA with that setup; this make my inner nerd happy!
