Monitors

  3 x 27" Acer IPS 2k monitors
  3 x 27" LG IPS 4k monitors
Protip: A 27" 4k monitors is a waste of a 4k monitor. Text is waaaay too small for coding at that resolution.

Everything else has been sold or recycled. I used to have PILES of desktops and servers, but I got over my nostalgia years ago.

> Protip: A 27" 4k monitors is a waste of a 4k monitor. Text is way too small for coding at that resolution.

Protip: Set them to 150 - 200% scaling and get way better font rendering and readability than with a lower-resolution screen, which makes it easier on the eyes. If things then get too big (because actually 4k at 24" would be more appropriate), reduce font-size by 1pt or so. 4k is not meant for use without scaling.

PPI over 120 is terrible for web design. You want to keep scale 1:1, like most of people have.

For 4K you need at least 32’.
