I switched from 27in 1440p to 27in 4K recently, and I am enjoying it. I previously used 100% scaling, but now I'm using 200%. I have less screen real estate, but everything is more crisp, and I find myself leaning forward at my monitor

I'm disappointed with the ergonomics of it. First, you have to pay extra for height adjustability, and then the height adjustment is via an arm that changes the viewing distance when you adjust the height. Why can't it just be lik
