What size monitor for productivity?

[sterlingr]

Hello all,

For video editing and occasional gaming, what is the best screen size between 25 and 27"? is bigger always better?

Also, is 4k on a 27" monitor hard to use because everything is so small?

 

Thanks!

Holy smokes... I guess you're right ... Since i'll close though, 40" will be too big, 30" max probably

look for some 30-36" 4k monitor, you can probably find a pretty good one for under $500

AOC makes some good cheap monitors, maybe check that brand out too

 

for productivity a larger size definitely helps, especially when you have enough pixel density like 4k

Yup  thats the one I asked Zeinone about. The same version of that in 25" is $90 cheaper though... its $90 worth it to go up to 27"?

The display panel uses Advanced High-performance In-Plane Switching (AH-IPS) technology (the advanced high performance im not sure what that means, but IPS is there)

i would go with a 21:9 monitor for text and stuff (29" ips ones are around 300€) and a cheap 22" 1080p next to it. they are the same hight and resolution. you can have video left and text on the right.

im running that setup since 2 years
