Which 34 inch monitor is suitable for programming?

Question

Monitors

Hello, I work as a web developer, I equip my desktop at home, for comfortable work, and I ran into such a dilemma.

I want to buy a 34 inch monitor within 40 thousand, for this amount you can take either LG on IPS 60Ghz flat or Huawai curved on VA, 165Ghz.

I do not consider games at all, I plan to connect a laptop.

There is an opinion that on a curved one you can see everything around the edges better, but there is a ghostly effect, especially when the code editor is dark and the text is white and you scroll through the code.

On the flat, the edges are not so clearly visible, but there are IPS, and it seems like the eyes should not get tired.

Who coded on such, share your opinion, what is better from a developer's point of view?

34 inches to 40k rubles is fucking grain. I bought a 27 inch screen with a height of 1440 pixels and still spit. I wanted to connect a macbook and work with two screens. But I couldn't because of the VERY different pixel density. Because it is impossible to look here and there, the eyes flow. As a result, I work with a closed laptop, only on the monitor. And 34 inches is even larger pixels, as thick as a finger.

which is better from a developer's point of view?

From a developer's point of view, a higher pixel density will do. The closer to the macbook, the better (the poppy has 227ppi). Because 8 hours a day you look at thin text, a lot of text, very tightly located and your eyes get tired of the grainy screen.
For example, you can have a 27-inch ski (LG UltraFine 27UL650-W) with 163ppi

In fact, it's all mostly a matter of taste. Go to the store sit for 5 minutes for 34 and for 28
IMHO 34 is not needed.

Answer 3

I'm working on 32' 4K flat. Everything suits me in 2016. I kept within 60. Now I don’t know the prices, but I doubt that they have fallen in rubles ... I think that 4K is optimal for 32 inches. Pixels are not visible yet, the font size is slightly increased in windows. Also important are the brightness and color space, so that the monitor does not give "vyryglazny" colors. At least 80-90% of sRGB would be covered. I consider the curvature not convenient, because sometimes you need to look at the monitor from a different angle, in order to avoid sagging.

Answer 4

at one time I looked at everyone and came to the conclusion that modern software is designed to work on one 24 "monitor and the most comfortable thing is to buy two or better three and place it to the left and right of the main one, in one place I tried to put the monitor on top - it's inconvenient, an exception if this is something with a quick look
at the resolution, choosing 4k, you still have to set the scaling, returning the fullhd resolution (but it will be more pleasant to read the texts)
in some cases you can turn the widescreen monitor vertically and put two or three of them in the same way, but this is only in special cases and probably not for the developer
you can slightly increase the diagonal if it is possible to place the monitor farther from the eyes, but do not expect that you can sit closer so that the screen occupies a larger area of ​​​​view and works comfortably - it will be uncomfortable, each program will have to be tuned, placing windows not on the whole screen

Answer 5

When choosing between IPS and VA, in my opinion, you need to choose IPS ...
