1080p !?! Wow I didn’t know that there are professionals out there using such a shitty resolution. You are definitely not the target audience for high quality hardware then I guess.

I hear some people call themselves professionals and don't even use gold-plated HDMI cables.

  Why use HDMI when there is USB-C or Thunderbolt? As far as I know 4k@60hz is max on HDMI. You are optimising the wrong thing here.

That's pointless gatekeeping. Having the most expensive pencil doesn't make you draw better. For most professionals in most fields, more than 1080p is a waste of energy.

  Good tooling improves the artists workflow and results in most cases.

Wait until you see what hardware the OpenBSD developers use... are you going to claim that they aren't professionals? https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20120425065148 https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20120425065148 https://www.undeadly.org/features/2012/r2k12/P1020598.JPG https://www.undeadly.org/features/2012/r2k12/P1020598.JPG

While I prefer my personal machines to have 1440p or 4k resolutions, I'm perfectly happy with my work PC's 1080p screen for development and email. I'm hardly watching videos or gaming on that machine, and I don't find that fonts are noticeably sharper at the size that I prefer them on a 15" laptop display.

  You find the screen real estate sufficient? I hate developing on a small screen (especially for the web).

I am not a professional, I am just a student. Edit: If I was an artist or something I might care about resolution or color accuracy.

  Finish your studies and then you will get the chance to use better hardware :) Color accuracy is super important to me whenever I need to design something on the frontend side of things. High resolution is important too because I'm working with my screens. That means that I stare many hours per day in the display. Life is too short for shitty hardware and most professionals in our industry or their companies can definitely afford it.
