Monitor for programming :)

[BotDamian]

Hello, I sold both monitors and I'm used to 1440p AND i thought about buying a 4K IPS 27".

 

I'm from EU so we have different prices here so please check on https://geizhals.de/ for the price before recomending,

some things are double the price than in the US.

 

I don't need anything crazy and about 300-350 euros unless you know a good 1440p for less than a 4K (the less pixels should be worth it)

What are you using it for part from programming?

 

4k on a 27inch panel is pretty pointless little to no difference when you sit at a normal distance and even closer it's hard to notice. If you are gaming for sure just get a 1440p one as that is far easier to drive

My friend, have you read the title? I'm programing websites mostly, but i'm not looking into 144hz, should be 60-75hz, normal monitor. Actually I have tried a 4K in games and you can notice 4K more than 144hz vs 240hz. But I'm not gaming anymore, lack of good games and the games are just a disappointment.

I did I forgot to add the second part of my question was too quick to post :p.  I mean I'd say if all you do is programming get yourself a very nice 1440p one for the price of a decent 4k one. I don't recommend the 4k one as well stuff is just too small so you need scaling and windows scaling whilst better still just kinda sucks and certain interfaces still are not well scaled with issues.

4K at 27" is useless for coding, you'll just have to set scaling higher to actually see about the same amount of stuff than on a 1440p screen of the same size.

 

4K allows for more code to be displayed if you're at 100% scaling which is really convenient, but you have to go at least 40" for it to be comfortably readable.

Sooo what kind of 1440p monitor do you suggest? And is the ultra wide any better?

Since code is vertically displayed and not horizontally a regular 16:9 is better (or if you can find the elusive 16:10 that would be amazing)
