Yea, I always only share a window, so that I not have to change resolution or zoom while in meetings, very valid point

And as well for pricing, I agree (especially if you consider that you need more GPU power for more pixel), but if you are not too picky, you can get a 4k60 screen at sub 300$

1440 27โ€ and 133% seems to me, like you have not much space to have multiple app beside each other?

I most likely sit more near the screen than most people, that may be the reason for my preferences ๐Ÿ˜„

My work environment is chaotic enough for me to have to cycle through 4 different instances of VSCode, terminals and Firefox, while simultaneously doing tech support for windows issues. I'd have switched to Linux if it wasn't for the last bit.

I work on a 14" Laptop with 1080p60 that is the second display, while i use the 27" 1440p as the main one. I use a USB C dongle to connect and can therefore can only get 60hz because the screen will flicker otherwise (though on Linux the dongle works even for 144hz, which is above the dongle rating of 120hz, but I digress).

I'm a bit constrained with the available space, so I use only my Laptop + screen for work and only the single screen for my personal rig, which is kind of a bummer. Will opt for a 4k ~120hz ~40-50" OLED TV for my next second "monitor" though (:
