Earlier quoted context omitted.

The best possible experience is 6-8k at 32", low DPI can go burn in hell.

Amen. It's a shame dell released that one 8K monitor and peaced out. It's still available but it's expensive as hell, and I could not for the life of me justify needing dual DP cables. But I'm constantly tempted...

Each time they release something like this it's got to require two inputs, is clunky, may have tearing problems under some platforms, and is discontinued not very long after due to lackluster sales. Remember they had a 5K monitor plagued with the same kind of trouble?

Given that most of the gear in the business world is laptop-shaped, requiring two DisplayPort cables is just not going to fly. What do you mean, "get that expensive USB-C to dual DisplayPort dongle from Sonnet"? I thought DP1.4 was perfectly capable of driving an 8K monitor over a single cable, heck, that's what my old Dell Precision 7520 laptop is supposed to be able to do.

This font has the worst clarity and legibility I've ever experienced. If you try to read code using this font, you'll break your eyes. You have to make a conscious effort to read every word. It gets tiresome really quickly.

Man I really have a vicerally negative reaction to this font. 1) The braces are completely horrible 2) What kind of person thinks that making the fullstop massive and putting it in the middle of the line like a dot product sign is good? 3) Where even is the backtick? 4) For all their talk of legibility, lowercase l and 1 are very similar looking to my eyes.

> Where even is the backtick?

Not just that, why is the backtick unconditionally combining with the previous letter? If you type "a`" it will always print "à" for me, even combining with letters like "t", seems like a ligature table bug or something. Just randomly saw that when looking at a markdown file

Why is it combining back-tick with the previous letter in a ligature with almost all letters? Into a single character wide element it seems. So looking at a Markdown file with "a`" will print it as "à" always even with letters like "t" or "Y".

Edit: issue seems to be disussed here: https://github.com/intel/intel-one-mono/issues/3
