Earlier quoted context omitted.

Incredibly low resolution for the size monitor too. Is the form factor the novelty worthy of sharing?

Since when is 1440p low resolution? A 4K IPS panel is by no means the standard, even in 2022.

It is rather low 110 dpi, „retina“ devices are doing > 220 dpi for nearly a decade and are much easier on the eyes.

Now unfortunately those are still not common in external monitors - probably because they require 5k resolution for todays display sizes. But even the 160 dpi of a 4K @ 27“ screen is such a massive step forward in picture quality and readability that I couldn’t ever see myself going back to 110dpi or less. This should especially apply if a display is marketed as ergonomic

On a similar note, does anyone know of a squarish monitor that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, and preferably has a good color gamut coverage? There was an 1920*1920 monitor ( https://www.inputmag.com/reviews/square-monitor-eizo-flexsca... ) but that's over 1k USD :( There are other nice displays like Huawei's Mateview at 3000*2000 but nothing costs less than ~550-600$/€. It's a bit of a pity because you can get a dec…

I much prefer 2560 x 1440 to the standard issue 1080p and there are lots of inexpensive options.

It's definitely smaller than I was expecting. 18.2" x 19" My 27" display is almost 25" wide.

Maybe I'm bad at reading, but it would be nice if the page explained "this is the equivalent of two 20-inch 16:9 monitors stacked" instead of having to bust out the Pythagorean theorem.

It's approximately two 21.345-inches stacked, not 20.

According to what you are writing, it is much bigger than your display:

if your display had a 27'' diagonal, and was 25'' wide, it would be 10'' tall. (Which makes little sense: it would be a 5:2 proportion.) So it would have an area of 250 sqi.

Versus the ~350 sqi of the LG. (It is quite a jump: the rounded √2 jump, 5:7, Ax proportion, "do it twice to double".)

The steeper (or flatter) the proportion, the less the area per diagonal size.

But I guess the display for comparison is more likely a 24''x13'' scarce, ~300 sqi.

I find panning my eyes left and right to other monitors more natural than up and down, and I think most ergonomics experts would agree. As such a 32:9 widescreen seems preferable to a 16:8. But if you are pressed for space, either because of small desks or because of everything else going on on your desk (people who work not only in the virtual world) this seems like a great compromise.

Are there any window managers that let you set some kind of 'snap zones' so that you can easily tile screens without fiddling? That's my main issue with large screens vs a plurality of smaller ones.

On a Mac, I use Magnet, which lets you snap windows all over the place, even on multiple monitors.

My cervical vertebrae are cowering in fear. I'd rather twist left to right and put the burden on muscles, than over-articulate my neck.

I’ve been using a vertical monitor recently and I have to say I haven’t noticed any pain. I don’t tend to look up and down with my head, I simply move my eyes up and down

Anyone know of a good touchscreen monitor/display for events? I am using the lenovo m14t connected to a mac but looking for better options..?

Probably helpful if you say more about your required size, resolution, brightness, durability, portability, price, etc.

24 inches or smaller touch screen, 1920x1080 res, vesa mount preferably! No need to be portable. If there’s square-ish displays that’ll be cool too! Thanks!
