Can you comment a bit more on it? I heard some criticism about bleeding. It's reasonably easy to buy it in EU, and price is not too far from usual suspects like Dell UltraSharp or cheap Eizo/Nec models.

Not sure what you mean by bleeding - can you be more specific? I find it an absolute joy to use. When I am at my desk I spend a lot of time in front of the screen and compared to the Samsung 4k I was using previously I find far less eye strain, much crisper image, and just generally more pleasant. I feel the investment was very worthwhile. It’s also very beautifully designed which was definitely a consideration for m…

Apologies for the ambiguity. I meant backlight bleeding, i.e. some bright spots on the edge of the screen. It's a very common issue.

I have one as well and definitely can recommend it. The only thing is that if you are running macOS you really need to have SwitchResX for it to not look terrible. I have it next to my studio display and it honestly does not even compare in terms of clarity. I’m sure it’ll run better on windows.

I was planning to use this on Linux (X11). Perhaps not a good idea given that I'd need scaling.

I got them recently as the side monitors for a 16:9 43'' 4k in the middle. The height matches almost perfectly. I love this layout so far, so much desktop space and such high resolution! And it's nice to have a big 16:9 screen in the middle for videos. Finally a worthy replacement for my three 10-year-old 30'' 16:10 Dells.

For people who work in Windows: you will want to use https://github.com/mgth/LittleBigMouse and you'll need to modify the registry to work around this issue https://github.com/mgth/LittleBigMouse/issues/80 if you don't want your mouse cursor to jump vertically during screen transitions.

It's as close as it needs to be for the size fonts and resolution I want to run it at, and still be able to read comfortably with my 50 year-old eyes. Yes, it's a bit on the close side so I do have to pan my head a bit. As I mentioned, I do push it back and bring it forward throughout the day, but I just measured where I'd left it at after coding yesterday and it was at 24" away. I don't really have any issues with e…

> I tried progressive glasses (modern versions of bifocals) but found them extremely annoying with their fishbowl effect Lord you aren't kidding about that - I tried these after a doctor recommended, and it was so jarring and disorienting I thought something had to be wrong. Apparently that's just how they are.

I thought I was the clumsiest person in the world until I stopped wearing mine. I was tripping on everything constantly.

This is a perfect one for crypto traders! These days they should rotate their 16:9 vertically to see the full depth of assets plunged. Now they will have this and see much longer history at the same time.

I've been using 43 inch 4k displays as monitors for 3 years now and don't think I could go back to anything smaller. Font size at native scaling is just right for me and there's plenty of real estate.

I’m up to dual 75 inch 8k and it feels just right. Tried going down to 43 inches and it felt cramped.

Would you be willing to post a picture of your setup? That sounds insanely cool.
