I'm looking for an external monitor for both programming and gaming. Currently, I'm using a 1080p monitor, but I'm tired of turning my head between the macbook and the monitor when I have to deal with 3+ windows.

So, I think a 2K monitor would be a nice improvement for my QoL, wouldn't hurt my GPU too much compared to a 4k monitor. Any suggestion or should I scrub the idea?

The 4K resolution is excellent for multitasking, allowing you to view code, documentation, and terminals simultaneously. It also features a USB-C hub, making it convenient to connect multiple devices, bandle and an ergonomic stand for comfort during long programming sessions.
