BenQ releases 3:2 aspect ratio 28 inch 4K+ monitor designed for programmers

I still don&#x27;t get why there aren&#x27;t enough monitor panels that are 5K so they can fit with Macintosh&#x27;s retina standard. What ends up happening is the scaling is done at an incorrect multiple so the dpi causes text to be blurry and not clear.<p>I guess will have to stick with my LG Ultrafine for another year.

if someone is looking for monitor, i can recommend the LG 28MQ780 [0], its 2x 2560x1440 stack on top of each other (2560x2880 in total), giving you 16:18 aspect ratio. i&#x27;m using one of these in portrait right and it&#x27;s fantastic for coding.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lg.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;monitors&#x2F;lg-28mq780-b-dualup-monitor" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lg.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;monitors&#x2F;lg-28mq780-b-dualup-monitor</a>

I&#x27;ve read through this a few times and I&#x27;m still not sure what makes this specific for coders or how its different from other 4k monitors.<p>Can someone explain what makes this monitor better for the average coder?

Not sure if 3:2 aspect ratio is really optimized for programmers, but it might be something well appreciated by photographers since a lot of cameras (digital and film) use 3:2 aspect ratio.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_image_resolutions_used_in_digital_cameras" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_image_resolutions_used...</a>

I have a similar monitor at work. I find my adhd deals better with a single, wider monitor than with multiple monitors. That said, as I type, my keystrokes make the monitor shake. This is visibly irritating and I still haven&#x27;t solved this issue. Looking at this monitor I&#x27;d sadly expect the same to happen.

Looks like they’re using the same panels as the Huawei Mateview. Only these ones are VESA mountable. 3:2 at such high resolution, for me is a great experience. I’ll maybe grab one for my work desk to run vertically as I can’t do the same with the Mateview

60hz refresh rate? That&#x27;s unfortunate.<p>Love the 3:2 aspect ratio. But I would expect at least 100 - 120hz these days.

Too expensive for a low refresh IPS, which is not covering full 100% DCI-P3.

I would definitely appreciate the extra vertical space but I wish it was 32 inches. I don’t know if many people can comfortably use the native resolution with 100% scaling on a 28 inch screen.

Pretty please, I&#x27;d like there to be more commercial e-ink monitors, not just the $2K Dasung Paperlike 253. And if it&#x27;s not asking too much, color too.

I like the 3:2 ratio but IMO the specs are embarrassing all the way down.

Looks good but 10 kg&#x2F;23 lbs? I see a Samsung IPS for &lt;8 kg. 50&quot; 4K Fire TV for 9.3 kg. I guess we don&#x27;t really move monitors around once we start using them, esp if mounted, so perhaps a non-issue.

I personally prefer ultra wide monitors for coding, can have split windows for multiple files, web browser, terminal, etc. I don&#x27;t know why people like 3:2.

15:10 vs 16:9. I think that&#x27;s enough difference to notice.<p>2560 x 1600 resolution is a bit disappointing though.<p>Too bad 1:1 display isn&#x27;t common.

is this retina? too bad its not
