What monitor(s) do you have for programming?

42" OLEDs coming - bit more suitable for a desk set up:

TechRadar – 11 Jan 21

New 42-inch OLED TVs are on the way – but which TV brands will get them?

OLEDs get smaller than ever

I haven’t really found a definitive answer to if burn-in has been solved. For what I understood brands have different strategies to mitigate it, but since OLED is marketed for at most gaming are they really testing it with super static components like the Windows taskbar.

AstonJ · 2021-01-11T17:09:23.097Z

From what I know they have built in features to mitigate it or even remove it with a pixel refresh sequence if it becomes an issue.

At least for me my next TV is going to be an OLED and I will probably use it as a second monitor as well

What a missed opportunity! It should have been 6K to compete against Apple’s new display!!

AstonJ · 2021-01-12T11:55:10.122Z

Looks like Dell has been listening… a 5K 40" monitor…

Although shame they didn’t make it more gamer-friendly (no 120hz, no HDMI 2.1)

Looks similar to LG’s new monitors (probably using the same panels)…

I have a feeling we might see these in the new iMacs too…

Only Apple’s XDR monitor can beat – or is very close to – the quality of my iMac Pro screen.

We chatted before: this is not fanboying. It’s just after you used it for a week or two, everything else looks grainy and pixelated (and is actually tiring your eyes quicker).

So in my case it’s really mostly about protecting my eyes. Apple’s displays are working really well for that.

Samsung does pretty amazing TVs and I’d love to buy one of the more expensive ones. But I am really worried about their “smart” software – it’s widely known to be very crappy, insecure, and slow. And putting stuff like microphones and cameras that will upload anything and everything captured to gods know where isn’t helping us techies warm up to them either…

LG5K is probably the same (or maybe even slightly improved as its newer) than the iMac Pro display

The new OLED monitors are definitely worth a look too - 32" and 40" at 5K… I’d have been tempted if they were a good fit for gaming as well (they lack 120hz, HDMI2.1 etc).

dimitarvp · 2021-01-16T13:02:38.233Z

Good, good. Now if only I had the desk space…

I’ll check them out though. At one point this or next year I’ll need a second monitor.

Did you get your new desks after? I’m still waiting for the pics

No chair. I have a standing desk. This post was split into a dedicated thread from our thread about chairs

Also just spotted this:

I did, and now they are already a mess and not good for photographing.

The first of their cleanups is in order first!

Exadra37 · 2021-01-16T17:02:23.093Z

This may convince me in going OLED

LG's New 32-Inch 4K OLED UltraFine Display for Mac Now Available to Order

LG's first-ever OLED monitor has officially come to market, with the company's new 32-inch UltraFine Display OLED Pro Monitor now available...

Anyone getting one?

Maartz · 2021-08-18T13:53:56.839Z

So here is mine, be indulgent, I’m moving and there’s a lot of “mess” around

IMG_0147.HEIC2016×1134 232 KB

So the big one is for code, and the lat one is for:

Documentation with Dash
Terminal
Communication software like Discord, Messenger, etc.

Got my M1 mac mini fixed under the desk with this.
Here is the 35" monitor, LG, it’s 4K and the refresh rate is 100Hz, makes things so smooth.
The small one here, 22" HP.
And the arm, I used it first for the big one but I prefer to use it for the small one at the end.

Oh wow, that’s the same display I ended up choosing myself! … mostly because it was the only one available in Japan that fulfilled all of my requirements (such as USB-C video input & not laughable wattage for charging), but I ended up really loving it!

brennan · 2022-02-01T03:19:22.283Z

I got a 27" HP monitor just lately. Made me more productive, I guess.

DevotionGeo · 2022-02-01T03:36:50.093Z

MBA M1 Built-in 13.3 inch (at 2560 x 1600) and HP L1950 19 inch (1280 x 1024).

I also have a curved 4k TV, but am too lazy to unwrap it and actually test if it works fine with my MBA.

I still use an old Dell E17" LCD Monitor.
