I went from 2 1440p to one 32" 4K and 1 1440p.

It's been one of the biggest productivity improvements since moving from 640x480 to 1024x768.

The 1440p is now only used for minor stuff like email and not really necessary anymore.

I soon moved to a 32" 4K at home as well, because I just couldn't stand just 1440 anymore.

One of the interesting parts is that I don't use 4K fully: it's too much surface are and your head tilts too much to see everything at once. But what's great is that I can put a background process as full screen in the background and have a 3500x1800 window in front in which I do my real work. So I can observe the proceedings of the background talks without having to toggle windows all the time.

Agreed, I think 32" 4K is the sweet spot for Linux & Windows. The PPI is 140, which is "marginally retina" -- you can see pixels if you get close. Higher PPI is sharper even once you get past "retina", but it's definitely a case of diminishing returns. But the nice thing about 140 PPI is that you can run without scaling if you absolutely need to. You have to squint and you wouldn't want to do it too often, but it does work for those rare apps that don't scale well.

And the 32" size is about perfect too, IMO. The height is about the maximum you can view without head movement.

I'm starting to agree with you and Bryanlarsen that 32" 4k seems to be a sweet spot.
