I want to know if a 27"/28" 4k monitor is worth it for normal desktop use.
They are cheap as fuck

Yup, can be found for £200/£250 but the leap to 32" doubles in price.

I think you meant 28" 1440p and 32" 4K, but if you want maximum productivity, I'd go a bit bigger with 4K, like 40" so it has nearly the same dpi as 21.5" 1080p. Obviously this would mean you'd lose the benefit of sharper text, but you wouldn't need scaling.

I have one, it's worth it, but it only gives you as much screen estate as a 1440p monitor of the same size would (a bit more in the terminal where I can set arbitrary font sizes).

No, mean smaller screen with more pixels vs bigger screen with less pixels overall.

Isn't a 40" TV uncomfortable to use all day for work?

Is the U2718Q any good? I'm asking for gaming purposes too.

30" IPS -- 2560x1600 (16:10)

>No, mean smaller screen with more pixels vs bigger screen with less pixels overall.
When you reach the size where you can comfortably use a monitor without scaling, going bigger becomes useless. That size is about 27" for 1440p.

I have never used one, but I don't think it would be much worse than a multi-monitor setup.

Based on my 14" 1080p laptop (1/4 resolution, 1/4 size), 28" 4k is doable at 100% scaling, but everything will be really small. For 4K, I'd rather have 32". 1440p 32" is a little on the low side for DPI, lower than my current very old monitor. Personally, I'd go for 27" 1440p, or 34" ultrawide 1440p.

About dual monitor, what size do you guys prefer? Two of the same size or one big and one small?

why do you guys keep pretending you do anything useful?

It doesn't matter what screen you use

yeap it's worth it user. I'm on 1440p 27" screens and already look great. I don't think I would be as comfy with 32" monitors but having more res to work on is always good.

4K is a meme under 50 inch. I have a 49 inch 4K TV and you can barely notice the difference between good HD footage and 4K footage, whether you stand close to it or a few metres away.

So, nah, anything 4K under 49 inch is a meme, you don't even see the pixels at 50 inch, let alone 45.

4K is totally not worth it for screens that are not large.

Nope, dell and LG both make 43" 4k monitors specifically aimed at professionals and office workers

>a fucking thin client with VGA output
That's one lazy shoop.

That depends on your viewing distance.

At a desk you're usually 2-3 feet away. So a 4k panel at 38-44" is great.

At TV viewing distance (generally 8-10 feet) then you need a 75"+ for 4k to be noticeable.

43" 4k of course.

>1440p 32" is a little on the low side for DPI
You mean PPI, jesus christ

Unironically this

I've got a 30" 2560x1600 werks for me.

Fuck that I want ~30" 8k or 16k or even higher res. I don't want to even be able to see the slightest hint of pixels with a fucking 10x loupe.

40" is fine at a few feet away, any monitor under 110ppi for me now is cancer.

Even worse it looks like the VGA is plugged into a DVI adapter lmao.

He was likely talking about without scaling the GUI

If you're fine GUI scaling then yea, higher resolution is always gonna be better

Does anyone own that $230 Sceptre 27" 4k monitor that's always cheap on Amazon?
Super tempted to get it, then dump real money into a nicer, bigger one later.

Technically it supports 4 simultaneous 1080p inputs. So theoretically the vga is carrying just one of the signals.

Bigger one horizontal, smaller one in portrait.

Can confirm, also great for movies and documentaries if you get one for home use.
