I bought a 27 UHD monitor and LOVED it. Then I bought a second. It turned out that I don't run the second monitor at full resolution, opting to just get a bigger screen.

Gettinga bigger monitor is a lot like getting a second monitor; you wonder how you lived without it. My 27" monitors were about 350ドル each.

I also have the "old man eyes" problem. I found that keeping a pair of low power reading glasses available on the computer desk helped a lot also.

I think it will be better on my eyes to increase font sizes across the board, so I want something big. Maybe an ultrawide 21:9 for more real estate. But none of that curved stuff, I don't play video games.

Thought is would also be nice to be able to plug two computers into one monitor (pbp - picture by picture) but they all seems to stink. Clunky resolutions that make you lose your real estate to black borders. Pip is out because I don't want a tiny screen, defeats my primary motive. Can access all my stuff from one computer, but was curious if anyone knows of a good version of this.. would be nice.

Past that all else is subservient to eye strain. If I can find a good monitor that mysteriously solves all eye strain, all other options be damned, save size.

Price wise I'm willing to spend an ok chunk. I can't even remember the last time I purchased a monitor to be honest, so I'm due for a tribute to the monitor gods.

Any words of wisdom? 😁
