If only I could justify the 2k. I feel like life quality would improve significantly if I had this. Do you use another monitor for calls for work?

Your life quality wouldn't improve. It's just a reason to buy new tech that looks cool that so many of us use here.

It feels like with this monitor the only thing you can really do is a terminal. Would really help with focusing I think. Less colors/distractions. Although I’m sure hn would work fine on it haha

An option might be uninstalling your graphical environment and just using the linux console at e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F2. You could disable colors by setting TERM=xterm-mono.

Man that’s a hard one because personal browsing for things like banking would require a GUI. But I could use a separate machine for that. This is a pretty decent experiment to run.
