Why are you wasting money? You can get 5 27" monitors for the price of one of those and 3 or 4 43" 4ks for the price of both.

What? How about some specifics. My requirements for a monitor is high resolution for plenty of desktop space (minimum 4k) and IPS panels for viewing angle, besides, I think IPS is the least straining panel to look at. When you combine these two requirements you are likely at 700+ for a single monitor.

But hey, I see 80 col Vim developers, too, so everyone’s needs are different.

Are you running your 4K monitor in 1:1 mode?

[erikbye]

As in no scaling? Yes.

Dell 24" IPS 4k is $350: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Monitor-P2415Q-24-Inch-LED-Lit/d...

Not bad, but I think 24” is too small for 4k, I would have to use scaling which detracts from desktop real estate.

Because LG 5ks are literally the only choice of external display my employer provides. On the plus side, they may be cheaper in bulk.
