Software engineer here, all I want from a good monitor is the ability to render crisp text (rest is bonus for me personally)

The username can be the monitor name perhaps? ;)

#64:3 aspect ratio (widescreen isn't that useful for coding, data analysis, etc. in my opinion)
fast power up
energy efficiency

#7a good inbuilt KVM switch, and decent (not necessarily spectacular) color reproduction. VESA mount compatibility.

#8Nothing but a monitor - no smart anything inside, no companion software, no manufacturer contact whatsoever, nothing but the slot for a standard cable and a plug for a standard power cord.

Add me to the want 4:3 club. Still looking for an economical way to replace the two 25" CRTs in my side by side arcade game. Vertically mounting a wider monitor doesn't work in this case, because it's a sit down cabinet and there's no extra vertical space like there can be in standups, super ultra wide isn't wide enough to do 8:3. Putting the biggest monitor that fits into the horizontal space leaves a lot of vertical space :(

#10LG Ultrafine 5K does everything I need. I guess if it was 100hz or 120hz that’d be neat but I don’t think DP over TB3 has enough bandwidth.
