The Dell UltraSharp UP3218K
That's XBox Scorpio old.
Just hoping for some 32 inch 8k OLEDs driveable @120hz before my eyesight detoriates.
> 8K TVs may be driven at 8K 60 Hz with no chroma subsampling by using HDMI 2.1, which is available on all current (Nvidia RTX 4000 series and AMD 7000 series) and previous gen (Nvidia RTX 3000 series, AMD 6000 series) graphics cards. Older computers with GPUs outputting DisplayPort 1.4 may use adapters such as the Club3D one to achieve 8K 60 Hz. Isn't "plain" DP 1.4 confined to HBR3 - thus its maximum refresh rate i…
I love this blog post. “It can display seven equally spaced vertical columns of text (critical importance), has driver issues (minimal importance), wake issues (who cares), it costs as much as four smaller monitors (this is good), I need a huge desk (hell yeah), there are multiple image quality issues (well it’s not like I have to look at it all day)…” It is like “I spent fifteen hundred dollars on a multitude of has…
Once you no longer see pixels you'll never want to go back.

I am curious as to what OS's you've tried. Fractional scaling is flawless on Windows and KDE6 with wayland in my experience.
I wouldn't describe any OS as 'flawless', they're all doing what I describe under the hood. QT does have better support than GTK atm. I've also seen bad behavior on windows, esp with older apps. OS X is about the best out there, but even it can have issues with applications that have a view port (i.e. video editors, etc). I'd prefer to skip all that so I'm happy staying on 1440p until 8k monitors are where 1440p moni…

I wish deep desks were more common! Modern ultrawide curved monitors sit way too close for comfort for me due to the way their legs have to be angled further back for center of gravity. custom desks end up being so expensive.
Any good deep desks that you've found so far?
Author here, ask me anything! Apart from programming, one of the motivations for getting the 8K display is to look at lidar point clouds. For example the desktop background in my post is a lidar map of Bernal Hill in San Francisco, which I've here downsampled to only 13006 x 7991 px for your convenience [1]. Admittedly, when I bought it at first, I didn't realize there would be so many random issues, as manufacturers…

I almost bought an 8k 55" screen for use as a monitor, but I tested a 55" 4k screen for a week and the flatness is what turned me off to it. I've been using three 32" 4k screens in portrait, arranged in a "curved" config on my desk (2 monitors on each side are mounted at an angle), which I really like. But switching to a large single flat screen was not fun. For me the holy grail of monitors is a 55" 8k curved screen…
Spherical or cylindrical?
A sure sign that someone doesn't know what they're doing is if they use 3 or more monitors for programming. And also interested in their neck related issues 10+ years later.
The one issue that I have with using TVs as "monitors," is that they are too damn "smart." They play with the images, and it can be a devil to find all the settings, to turn them off. On my Samsung, there's a couple of things that I can't turn off.
