Is HN the last refuge of real internet discourse? While some of the replies are very Reddit m-coded, it still feels like real humans. I wonder how long this will last before the agents take over.

#282The scroll hijacking on this page is horrendous. I could almost not close the page anymore on iOS because of everything going on.

I get bonkers annoyed using just two monitors with macos or windows. multi monitor management... nothing behaves how i want it to, apps never open where they should etc etc. I havent tried it on desktop linux enough to know if it's any better - maybe at least id assume have the most configuration control on linux. How do you do it? I always give up in frustration. 100% would keep the genelecs :)
On KDE and things like opening app on active monitor / desktop work fine. Only complaint is that on older versions, the taskbar on secondary monitors would sometimes disappear. For reference I have 3 monitors (2x 4k, 1x 1080p) and am currently using Debian / Wayland and Ubuntu / X11.
It was a bug. I have 3 screens, and it would disappear on the third. An update, sometime around middle of last year fixed it, if my memory is correct.
But, I still have occasional problems with my monitors not waking up when I return to my desk. With 3, I've never had all 3 fail to wake, and a simple disable in the monitor settings, then choose "revert" usually brings them back.

#284I was hoping that 8k tvs at ~50inches would become widely available.
They were high enough density and tall enough for coding applications, but as first versions they had some rough edges (text rendering not great by default).
Instead they just disappeared from the market :(
I think Aliexpress has no brand panels, but at $600 it is a non trivial gamble.

#285I have 3 27" 5k monitors in portrait and a 32" 4k horizontal above those. It is all mounted with vesa cheeseplates to manfrotto magic arms on t slot aluminum attached to a C stand with manfrotto super clamps. I also have two genelec studio monitors which sound amazing. All of that cost less than this one monitor.

I generally don't close the applications i use on an ongoing basis :)
This way you only have to drag them to the monitor you want them on once on startup. Which on os x at least is not very often.

For Mac I spent $0.99 a long time ago and bought Magnet on the App Store which lets me move windows and resize using hotkeys. For windows I aggressively use windows key + left/right to move the windows around, with 4 displays you just have to remember their ordering and eventually it becomes muscle memory to get it to snap where you want it. It mostly moves left to right, in my case.
Re: Dell UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor
#2871. I don't think I'll ever buy Dell again. My current monitor is a Dell S3221QS 32" screen and it has vertical lines and starts flickering on both the Macbook M1 and the Mac Studio with the M4 Max chip after some time, which is a known issue[0][1]. It also defaults to YPbPr colors rather than RGB/SRGB, so the colors look off. I'm using HDMI to HDMI connectivity currently. Part of it is also my fault as I thought a mo…
I bought a brand new Dell monitor through Amazon’s Dell Store (i.e. fulfilled by Dell themselves and shipped to me directly from their warehouse). The HDMI port broke a couple months later as it was sitting undisturbed on a desk, which was a common problem mentioned in its reviews. Dell flat out refused to replace it, saying that their database showed a different owner than me. Remember, they themselves shipped it st…
Are you referring to this store - https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dell/page/9B75DD0E-9F42-4B9B-A... ?
Re: Dell UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor
#288Dell has a shitty habit of down-rating monitor model numbers over time. The very expensive monitor your internet buddy waxed poetic about six months ago is now half the price and also half the monitor. It's not worth the trouble.

First time I hear about this Kuycon, the pricing seems phenomenal and the quality as well. I will probably buy one by the end of the week. It's odd that we don't get to see a lot of high quality OEM monitors.
> the pricing seems phenomenal I'm in Norway, and I wonder if I see different prices than people from elsewhere in the world? Here it says $1.7K, and I can get the LG UltraFine 6K 32" for $2K, with the benefit of being bought from a Norwegian retailer (think guarantees and shopping security). To be clear; I have never tried either of these monitors, so I can't tell if either is any good. :D
Germany, also seeing $1699 on there...

#290This has pixels the size of my hand, and it fully covers my field of view. Not my cup of tea. What I do recommend (having bought one) is the Kuycon G32p, 32 inches @ 6K. Incredible quality and unbelievable value for money ( https://clickclack.io/products/in-stock-kuycon-g32p-6k-32-in... ).
Lg has a similar model: https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-ultrafineevo-32-6k-nano-i...
The LG only has 60Hz refresh - this Dell has 120Hz and so seems to actually take advantage of the extra thunderbolt bandwidth.
