I see. I'm still holding on to my 3:4 aspect ratio EIZOs as second screen just because I prefer having a smaller second screen instead of 2 huge widescreens.

Opting into anything higher than 1920x1080 seems uncomfortable for me.

Maybe I just get old. I find it hard to read fonts on higher resolutions and it seems like other people do as well..

16pt Lucida Console on 1920x1080 just works way too well for me to even consider switching to anything else.

As I got older, I've noticed I was slouching more and more. So I got one of those LG UltraGear 45” curved monitors. It's gigantic, but helped me so much with posture and eye strain. I view every website at 200% or 250% zoom, my text editor has Inconsolata at 28px.

Of course, that came with some pains. Managing windows was time consuming, so i3 came into the picture. rxvt and st got slow, so zutty came to the rescue.

But I would be a liar if I didn't say that I miss 1024x768 with pixel-perfect fonts and UI widgets.
