Ask HN: Who is using a curved 4k monitor for coding?

3 pointsby shillalmost 10 years ago
Is anyone using a curved 4K monitor for coding? Does the curve help with coding in any way? Would a 4K ultrawide flat monitor of the same size and dimensions be just as good?

I&#x27;ve never used a curved 4k monitor (or even seen one), but I use a 32&quot; ASUS PQ321Q at its native resolution for coding. I love it and can&#x27;t go back.<p>It&#x27;s right at the edge of what I can discern - any higher PPI and things might look sharper, but I couldn&#x27;t get any more usable space out of it - I&#x27;d have to scale it. It fills my field of view so I I can use the entire screen without having to move my head much, if at all.<p>While I&#x27;d not recommend my specific monitor anymore due to non-competitive pricing, I wholeheartedly recommend DisplayPort, 32&quot;, 4k, IGZO or IPS monitors for coding. Get something cheaper at your peril, and definitely don&#x27;t get a TV.
