Ask HN: Recommendations for Large, Bright 4K Monitor?

4 points by imbnwa ↗ HN
I have an LG 27UK850 27 inch 4K monitor. It's been serviceable, but WFH has really exposed how lacking in brightness it is against day light whereas when I was in office, the pervasive fluorescent lighting seemed to change how I was perceiving my work monitor.

Any recommendations for a large (> 27 in), possibly curved, and bright (> 400 nits) 4K+ monitor? If so let me know any cons as well that I should consider.

I like Dell monitors. Have been buying them exclusively for many years

There are some up-and-coming monitors based on LG C2 42 inch like ASUS, and on Samsung's QDOLED like recent Alienware 34 inch.

Save your shekels and get some honeycomb blinds; past experience has demonstrated that a monitor with higher output in a bright room will negatively affect your eyesight.

As for me, a Philips (AOC) PHL 329P9 (4K / 31.5 in) monitor has been a excellent companion, whether macOS, Windows or Linux.

Interesting, what's the virtue of honeycomb blinds? I'm guessing by eyeballing it better light filtering than normal blinds cause of the material?

I like LG 27GN950-B. Has pretty good range of brightness.
