I'm long sighted so I need to wear my glasses to work at my computer etc. I bought a Dell 32" 4k curved monitor during a sale early last year but had to return it as the ppi at 139 was under a sweet spot that meant everything looked just slightly fuzzy to me. My eyes were constantly trying to focus it into sharpness and it gave me headaches. I think the magic number is about 160 ppi, any less and I find them difficult to use. Right now I'm sitting in front of my HP Z27 27" 4k that has 163 ppi. I can't see the pixels, everything is smooth and crisp. c.f with Apple retina displays that are crica 220 ppi. I found overtime when using 2 x 24" monitors I was never using the full real estate of the individual monitors i.e. the outer 1/3 was unused, so I switched to a single 27" of higher resolution and adjust app window sizes to suit so I can have 2 - 3 things open and work effectively. My 27" sits just out of arm's length and fill most of my FoV. I have my laptop sitting on a custom stand I made as a 2nd screen for things that don't require my attention. -- Colin Fee [email protected] _______________________________________________ linux-aus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux.org.au/mailman/listinfo/linux-aus To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to linux-aus-unsubscribe-cunTk1MwBs8iFSDQTTA3OBCuuivNXqWP@public.gmane.org
