I love the Dell Ultrasharp series, interesting they went with Thunderbolt though I had issues with it not working when trying to use another dock with my Thinkpad.

I'd rather buy the USB-C one so I know it will work with the Steam Deck, etc.

EDIT: Oh, only one port is Thunderbolt.

I've got big monitors, that I hook up to my work laptop and my own laptop. I make it work with a kvm hub. It's really sweet, for my use. I keep a browser, an IDE, and a terminal pretty much side by side on the bottom one. I keep slack, email, and a clock on the top monitor. I also place pullout tabs from my IDEs on the top one. Thing is, no matter the cost range, I generally have to replace the KVM hub about once a y…

If it’s at all representative, I had to replace 2 of the dell ultra sharp super ultra wides due to failing USB C hub / PD parts. I gave up at that point.

On the other hand, I've had one for 5 years and it's still going strong.

Will definitely buy again.

I 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.

Like that? https://gemini.google.com/share/3dbf617a1e07

Haha thats amazingly confusing when you look closely.

I'm using baby pin reciever plates on 4080 extrusion with m6 thumbscrews into drop in t nuts. There is only one c stand. The extrusion is actually two parts in a cross. The speakers are on the horizontal extrusion mounted on magic arms. My momitors are angled slightly upward and the bottom is a few inches lower than standard desk height.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If you just want 32 inches @ 6K there are cheaper options around, such as the ASUS ProArt PA32QCV: https://www.asus.com/us/displays-desktops/monitors/proart/pr... ASUS is a more well known brand. It doesn’t imitate the Apple aesthetic. (It does seem like the resolution differs: 6016×3384 vs 6144×3456.)

I bought this right after it’s available, I like the screen but the Asus OSD is barely tolerable and I have to grow my patience because of it

Can't you avoid the OSD if you control it with DCC?

I fail to see how that is relevant as I neither introduced nor advocated for smartphone pixel density?

Then what was the intent of your comment? There's no point to making a 400dpi 32" display (even if that were remotely physically possible).

Pointing out to the other guy that their reply made no sense?

> There's no point to making a 400dpi 32" display

Thank you captain obvious.

You do know that there are densities between 130 and 400+ though, right?

All the brand naming makes this read like something from American Psycho.

It does read exactly like Bateman in my head, but didn't pin it down until you helped. Still, that Dell monitor is pretty crazy itself.

Let's see Paul Allen's monitor

macOS can specify regions of the screen to be 1x. If I'm using Capture One or Lightroom, my photos are at normal resolution while the UI elements are "retina/2x".

So you can see more detail but you aren't fitting more photos on the screen.

You can configure macOS to scale everything more or less, just like you want it. Same for Windows and Linux. And you keep the crispness of the full pixel resolution for text and images.

This 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... ).

Is there a significant benefit for programming in going from 4K to 6K on a 32" display? I'm currently on 27" 1440p and looking for more screen estate for my neovim setup.

If you make the fonts smaller, can you no longer read them because they are too small? Then you need a bigger monitor, not a higher resolution.

If you can no longer read them because they are too pixelated, you need a higher screen resolution.

LG has a 6K 32 inch also, although a few hundred dollars more.
