I’m thinking of upgrading my monitor, mainly to give myself some more screen space for photo editing, and I’d be interested to hear which features of monitors other folk find useful, and which less useful or a waste of time.
Other than photo editing, I use the computer for the usual e-mail, calendar, etc., web browsing, word processing, occasional spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations, reading PDFs – but not gaming!
So, for example:
Are more pixels better? Even if so, there’s probably a limit? Is it worth going for a 4k screen?
Aspect ratio: 4:3, 16:9, 21:9?
Size: There’s probably a limit before it becomes awkward to use?
Refresh rate?
Technology: IPS, VA, …?
I’ll probably keep my existing monitor as a second screen.
I hope to join Tuesday evening’s Zoom Photo Café, and chat about monitors there, too.
