Which monitor for coding 2019?

Question

Monitors

Hello!
I know that on this topic a similar question was asked yesterday, however, including some untouched subtleties that I would like to clarify.
For the last 2 days I have been actively reading on this topic, monitoring e-catalog + yandex market.
Briefly, in the direction of which, I think, you need to look:
1. Only IPS or VA (matrix);
2. 24" Full HD or 27"-32" 2560x1440 (since 1920px on monitors from 27" pixels and grainy text are visible);
3. Backlight flicker: choose with Flicker-Free technology (although it is in all modern ones);
Needs:
First of all coding - work with text. But I also want to play single - player once every 2 weeks.
I rarely play single-player games. The frequency and response are not critical, but I would not like to observe the loops.
Regardless of the diagonal (24" or 32") and the cost, I still take one monitor. I worked enough on two monitors, I realize their convenience.
The budget is limited, so I don’t watch 24 "2k and 27" -32" 4k yet.
What exactly interests me:
1. Probably the most interesting question:
Recently, I have come across opinions that the larger the diagonal, the greater the distance to the monitor and larger text, which makes the eyes less tired.Are
there those who worked on large monitors?Is it really worth reading from a large monitor?
2. As far as I understood earlier, VA matrices were slower than IPS and with slightly better viewing angles than TN However, there are now VA monitors with less response and better color reproduction for some.
Viewing angles don't really matter to me.
Are there those who had the opportunity to compare the VA and IPS matrix? Is it worth paying attention to this parameter or are both matrices good in their own way?
3. I have a 1660ti card, it seems to be able to cope with 2560x1440, but has anyone tried to run a full HD game on a 2k monitor (to reduce the load)? Everything is deplorable, or is it completely playable?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

1.imac 5k 27".
2.eizo ev2450 and above
3.dell ultrasharp u2410 series and above.
4.lg ultrafine/ultrawide
5.benq/nec
You can also see:
Iiyama/Aoc/viewsonic/fujitsu-siemens
The main diagonal is from 24, usually there is no fullhd in monitors of a smaller diagonal (lg ultrafine is an exception). the aspect ratio of 16:10 is more convenient than 16:9, it is 20 percent more. Also, dell and eizo monitors can easily be rotated to portrait mode (by 90 degrees) due to a comfortable foot and have additional usb. 2560 resolution is certainly better than fullhd, but that's until you try the iMac 5k.
But in other monitors with 4k, there may be an inconvenient scaling and everything will be very small, and if you increase the scale by 200%, then the icons will deform and stretch. (Exclusion lg ultrafine)
If the budget is very limited, it is better to take the old dell on ips. They are on ccfl lamps. It is softer and warmer than led. Your eyes will be less tired. And in general, pay attention to the backlight of the monitor and the gloss / matte finish. Try this and that in stores and see what works best for you. There are ccfl, led, rgb led monitors. There are those that shine in brightness at 200cd, and there are those that are at 600cd. One is better bright and vice versa, the other matte and vice versa. in monitors from eizo, neck and fujitsu siemens there is a brightness sensor and a presence sensor. The monitor itself goes out when you are not there and adjusts the brightness itself. some monitors are 10 bit, displayport connection is better option than dvi, vga, hdmi.

Answer 2

I will answer in order of the questions asked:
1. At work I have 2 monitors - one 2k, the other FullHD, at home I have one 2k monitor, all three monitors with an IPS matrix - it’s convenient to read on any, my eyes don’t feel strained at all, given that that the monitors are 75 - 80 cm away from me.
2. There are different types of IPS matrices, and keep in mind that the highest quality TN matrix can be better than poor (or average) IPS, so it all depends on the budget and type of matrix.
If we talk about VA and IPS, I would not go into details and it seems to me that VA will be an excellent option for a programmer, there is no noticeable difference in them, except of course the viewing angle.
3. It’s more difficult with games, each company optimizes their games in different ways, and for example, on Watch Dog 2 I have 60-70 frames at 2k resolution, taking into account the fact that I have 1170ti, but the game is simpler, in terms of graphics - Assassin's creed syndicate, it starts with difficulty at 40 frames, here you already have to play at FullHD.
Playing at 2k, in FullHD resolution, everything is a little big, but the graphics do not lose much in quality and you can enjoy the game.
4. As for the choice, if I were you, I would stop at 2k with 32 "- it's really convenient for work, the screen can be divided into two or even three parts, all the tools are placed in the right size. Although I often lack it, therefore I use 2 monitors at work.

Answer 3

Recently, I have come across opinions that the larger the diagonal, the greater the distance to the monitor and the larger the text, which makes the eyes less tired.

I don’t really understand why a 32 "monitor might be needed ... With my "chicken" vision and chronic unwillingness to wear glasses, I use 3 27" monitors, 2 pieces for work. FullHD + 1pc. 4k resolution. More (diagonal) - I personally do not see any reason to put. Monitor resolution, diagonal, matrix, etc. I picked it up specifically for work, 2 monitors with an IPS matrix, one with VA (more precisely MVA, if I'm not mistaken), all have excellent viewing angles.
I also came across a PLS-matrix and Samsung monitors a couple of times - I didn’t notice anything “such” in them, I couldn’t see any special differences between PLS and IPS, with the only difference being that for a year on these monitors (in the amount of two pieces) " the backlight went off, and in the second year the matrix began to "burn out" (on both).

the greater the distance to the monitor and the larger the text, which reduces eye fatigue.

And the larger the pixel resp.

Answer 4

The monitor is a tool. And you always have to invest in tools.
I understand that your budget does not reach 20k rubles? Hence the thought that

in the direction of 24 "2k and 27" -32 "4k I don’t watch yet

23.8" Monitor BenQ BL2420PT [9H.LCWLA.TBE]
[[email protected], IPS, 5ms, 1000:1, 300cd/m², 178°/178°, HDMI, VGA (D-sub), DisplayPort, DVI -D, USB x2 pcs]

25" Monitor AOC Q2577PWQ
[[email protected], IPS, 5ms, 1000:1, 350cd/m², 178°/178°, HDMI, VGA (D-sub), DisplayPort, DVI-D]

and 4k

27" Philips Monitor 276E8VJSB
[[email protected], IPS, 5ms, 1000:1, 350cd/m², 178°/178°, DisplayPort, HDMI (x2)]

- of course, you can't cut them through VGA :)
But 27" at 2560 is also the norm.
ps In general, you wrote less about coding than about games. So you still take mon for games?
But didn't you look to the side of 1920x1200? There is more text vertically / code will fit in. It's strange that reviews and questions ignore this. I just have a 16:10 ratio - you can see a lot (we'll omit questions about my specific model. It's intimate)

Answer 5

Are there those who had the opportunity to compare the VA and IPS matrix? Is it worth paying attention to this parameter or are both matrices good in their own way?

VA matrices in the budget and mid-price segment are still slower than IPS, and this can be seen with the naked eye. Normally, you can't even watch the movie. I speak as a person who has seen several different VA matrices.
IPS is much more remarkable, but I advise you to take 1440p in any case, fullHD is more or less good only at 22 ', at 24 everything will look already unusual.
And yes - no AOC!

Answer 7

1.imac 5k 27".
2.eizo ev2450 and above
3.dell ultrasharp u2410 series and above.
4.lg ultrafine/ultrawide
These four monitors are the best on the market.

Answer 8

I took a 27" VA 1440p - I liked everything until I looked at the poppy screen :) Take IPS, 4k, so that the PPI is from 200. Even with 1440p you won't achieve this.
As for the loops - there is either one very expensive monitor for work and games, or one for games and the other for work.

Answer 9

I took two of these for work
