Ask HN: What's your favorite monitor for programming?

3 points by whitepoplar 7y ago ↗ HN

I have a 2018 13" MacBook Pro that I use at my desk, and I'm looking for an external monitor to accompany it. I wouldn't say that I have poor vision, but I've found that extended use of my existing setup is giving me eye strain--I can see text seemingly well, but it's difficult to focus on it for hours on end. I'd prefer something with more space and lower eye strain. Any recommendations? What's your favorite monitor for programming? Thanks!

I have one of these (https://www.amazon.com/LG-32MA70HY-P-32-inch-Monitor-Display... an external monitor for just that. It includes some pretty nice features if you choose to use them, and in my opinion is a fairly good price for what you get.

It's all about pixels. Don't bother with a huge screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080.

I would be interested in something like 4K (3840 x 2160) or the best resolution your laptop can support.
