4k

Does anyone of you have a 4k monitor? Is it really that worth it?

Don't own one but I had a roommate last year who did. As far as gaming, you won't notice much of a difference than 1080p. If you need a lot of screen estate for multitasking, then it may be worth it to buy one.

I'm not quite sure I know the answer to this question.

That depends on what you're doing. If you need a lot of screen space, you could just get more monitors, though. If you want to watch movies, get a projector instead. If you want to play games, get a 1440p monitor with 144+ Hz refresh rate.

How about general usage like browsing web and watching youtube?

Fonts are extra sharp on 4k, they look like vectors without rasterization, if you are a programmer a 4k screen is a delight.

lol just got this.

The fonts are really really nice. So I'd say it's worth it if you read a lot.

There's very little content in 4k and I don't really see a huge difference between 1080p and 4k.

honestly considering a 4k monitor for my next build. I want to do a Linux + Gaming build and i heard that having multiple monitors with different resolutions (I have a 1080 and a 1440) let alone different refresh rates (both of my current ones are 60hz) is a nightmare.

Higher refresh rate > higher resolution for me.

I don't play games often, so I really had no use for the extra screen space.

Plus, anyone that has been using a computer since they were 10 does not need 'extra screen space' to function. Minimizing applications and such is almost second nature. Actually, Windows supports virtual workspaces natively now, so there's definitely no need for such a thing.

I have a 4k laptop but I find that I spend much more time paying attention to how sharp the font looks rather than actually reading it. I turned it down to 1080 after it started to hurt my eyes. I should have just stuck to 1080.
