I used to run 2x 24" monitors in portrait mode (2400x1920) which was pretty nice.

I upgraded to 27" monitors, but portrait mode (2880x2560) involved too much head tilting so I ultimately went landscape (5120x1440), which was both too short vertically and too wide horizontally.

So I'm currently using a single 30" (2560 x 1600) in landscape mode. It's ok. There's simplicity in having a single monitor.

The next (and possibly final) upgrade will likely be to a ~32" 4K or 5K monitor. If I had a 2nd monitor, I'd probably just want it to mirror the first one at 3x zoom centered on the cursor - my eyes are losing resolution about as fast as monitors are gaining it.

What brand is your 30"? I bought a second hand HP ZR30w but it's quite old and its backlight is not even... https://support.hp.com/sk-en/document/c02159509

Other than that it's a sweet spot indeed. Maybe the only thing I miss is the sharpness of retina screens :)

When will someone finally make a ~28" 5210x3200 monitor? :)

Dell UltraSharp U3011. It's about 7 years old, but the backlight and image quality are still good, but technology has moved on.
