Hi everyone! I just noticed that my end screen is 1 minute long instead of 10 seconds (I accidentally pressed one extra 0 while editing). Sorry about that and please don't mind it 🙈 Also, here is a link to my monitor: amzn.to/3pPYws9 (affiliate link)
You CAN see more lines on a 4k without zooming out, but you zoom in because the text is too small despite being clear. So the question is, would you have to zoom in the same way on a 2k monitor? Because if not, it's pretty comparable
Great info! I spend way too much time at my desk so I became a big fan of the Ergotron LX wall/desk monitor mounts (they're life-changing!) If you have a deep desk, or space between a desk and a wall you can get a monitor up higher for better posture. You only need your fingertips to move a big 32" or 43" monitor around effortlessly once the arms are adjusted correctly (I highly suggest a wall mount to get the monitor off of the desk completely) I also repurposed a drafting table to make a huge, flat desk. I found a drafting-height type chair with adjustable arms, padded seat and mesh reclining backrest ...it allows me to seat "correctly" or kick-back with the monitor up high. The desk top is in a fixed position but it's where I can sit or stand. I'm 6' 4" so I gave up on trying to find anything from a store that would literally "fit my needs" 🙂 In other words, never let your office furniture control your world!
You math is good, 88 lines is probably max number of lines you can watch comfortable on 27"-32" monitor. If you want to see more lines regardless of resolution, you need a bigger monitor. But you can't watch its content comfortably without lot moving a head.
I got my BenQ EW3270U for 400€. Best monitor ever. Colors are beautiful and tame, uniform screen and the grays are the best, VA panels are my favorite.
Sister, I ordered this for my windows pc. Now I'm worried about if the text are too smaller to read. Is it so? Scaling affects sharpness?,creates eye strain? Pls give me an insight. Pls
If you use a 4K natively, the font will be too small and you will be more tired at the end of day or, worse, you will damage your eyesight (already in the medium term). If you scale from 3840x2160 pixels (so called 4K) to a lower number of pixels, as you did (to 3008 x 1692 pixels), you will get a more confortable font size, but you will lose a very important text feature for your eyes health: sharpness, because you will not use the monitor with its native resolution, which again will damage your eyesight in the medium term (it takes years but it will indeed happen). If you scale from 4K by exactly 4 times, that is, from to 3840x2160 to 1920 x 1080, you will not lose any sharpness, but you get the same screen real estate of a 1080p monitor. So, in other terms, 4K monitors consume more energy, more computing power (resulting for many computers into more heat and more noise), and more importantly will damage users' eyesight in most cases with or without scaling. If you need more real estate, the correct resolution is 1440p, for example an ultrawide 1440p, such as the HUAWEI MateView GT 34", which has also a very good value. Or, even better, an ultrawide 1600p, such as the DELL U3821DW, which is even better in terms of user experience but has a much worse value than the HUAWEI mentioned. Hope this can help.
Scaling the resolution on 4k doesn’t actually decrease the resolution lol - all it does is render the text larger. The text is equally as sharp so you’re not sacrificing text sharpness. I have 2 4k 32” Dell monitors for work and they’re so much better for coding than my 2 1440p 27” monitors
I'd say yes as well. I have two 4K monitors. One of them is basically a QLED TV, the other is a portrait mode 32" BenQ on a VESA mount. I use the main one for stuff like gaming, looking at my output, research etc, then the other monitor for stuff like spotify or youtube, discord etc. I have these 2 for seperate purposes basically. I think it'll be a good investment if you use your PC for a wide array of things at once.
Didn’t realize 2K and 4K monitors were so comparable in price. Thanks! Do you have any thoughts on dual monitors vs. a single ultra wide monitor for productivity? Thanks!
Most of the 4K monitors that I saw on amazon advertise themselves as gaming monitors. I wanted to see how they would be useful for programmers. Thank you for the informative video.
Not at all useful for programmers. 4k monitor on a 27 inch screen will make text so smaller that your eyes will hurt. Of you increase dpi in configuration then text will become blurr. I found a perfect 27" monitor with 1080p resolution and it's text is so crisp to read.
@Dzzzzz : I bought 27 inch 1080 resolution BenQ GW2785TC. It's not that bad. But after using for a month I think a 32 inch 1440 resolution will be better.
A downside for 4k monitors is while you can enjoy crispy 4k videos at the fullest, playback of lower resolution media (FHD or lower) will also look blockier/blurrier in comparison to lower res monitors.
You did 19 pixel height calculation for single line when your resolution was at 4k. Now you divided 19 with 2k monitor vertical pixel height. I didn't get the part as to why on a 2k monitor each line would be taking 19 pixel only? 19 was the average height when resolution was 4k so I think we cannot assume it would be same on a 2k monitor. In order to find that don't you think we might need a 2k monitor to actually verify the pixel height of each line by dividing 2k monitor vertical height with number of lines seen on the screen? Just asking out of curiosity and Thanks for the video.
She just assumed 19px / line is comfortable enough - but you're right, you cannot compare the two. I get only 72 lines of code on a 2K and wouldn't it any smaller.
Totally agree, for coding 4k monitors are great, vertical space is critical to get a good overview of the code. I use two 4k screens, even considering a 3rd one. I have 32” screens and at that size I can use them at their native pixel resolution (and still comfortable read the text) and I get the benefit of seeing/using all the lines you calculated. Would be great of course to one day have maybe 2 or even 3 8k 32” screens to get a bit higher pixel density for sharper text, ok maybe overkill, but can dream right? 😇
dual screen with text editor and stack-overflow is must for cs and better with larger monitor, 4K is must for better eyes as well. Thanks for the video. Come up with tips for CS fellas.
I bought a big monitor recently for programming but I ended up rarely using it and just programming on my Tony Laptop directly because I’m so used to it 😂
lol I actually didn't use my monitor much when I first got it either (1 month ago), but after I started using it more and more, I got used to it and now I really enjoy it!
Well i mean, at least you got to take the chance to see if that's what you would end up using or not. I have high-res monitors, and they were excellent for me. I would only invest in a high-res monitor if it's large and I can see every pixel clearly
I reccomend 4K 32 inch if you have the space, any smaller at 4K and you will probably scale everything up. For me 4K 32 is about right at about 100% scaling so I can fit 4 total 1080p windows at once
If you are like me and don't like to scale. If you are using a 4K really they need to be 32". 2K 27" is a nice size. 1080p 22" is good. These will all lead to around 100-130 ppi when on max resolution. I personally like around 110 ppi. which is what you get with 2k 27". Even with 32" 4k max res is quite small @ 130 ppi so you might still have to scale. Personally I would like to see more 16:10 ratio monitors as the 16:9 mean more scrolling your code.
You can scale your code editor perfectly but not every app will scale perfectly. So it's better to use the native resolution which fits best on your screen at 100% scaling. With 28'' 4k this is a problem. You need 43'' for 4k to comfortably display everything. And also displaying more lines of code you can always zoom in and out in your editor itself. So not really a use case for 4k given you need to pay twice the amount than a 1080p
Hello! I have been binge watching a lot of your videos simply because I am interested in the M1 MacBooks, technology, and student stuff. I currently am impatiently waiting for the 16in MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon. I have a 2016 15in MacBook Pro and would like some more performance. I'm so excited to see these advances in technology, especially from Apple because their MacBooks (besides the 2019 16in) have been lacking the correct thermal tech and performance. Anyways, thanks for making these vids. They are engaging and interesting!
Just press Ctrl- in your VS Code you display 140 lines of code even in 1080p or more or less as per your comfort label. The same is with browsers you can scale up down the content. The same is with windows you can scale up and down the apps.
What type of monitor do you recommend for mostly office work, as in writing in several docs at the same time, copying pasting and having several pdfs open and things like that.
4k monitors have become so cheap that I agree, one might as well get one for programming. Before they became cheap, another alternative was to get up to 3 lesser monitors. If one looks at various professional and office setups, multiple monitors are often used. Is it more convenient for programmers to have one monitor for tasks such as cutting and pasting?
How do you manage to split the monitor screen to see say logs on one window, code in another, a webpage in another and outlook in another? So split screen by 4 and be able to move content around the 4 windows seamlessly
Do you think the font is clearer on a 4k over say a 1080p monitor. I am thinking of getting a 24" 4k for that reason. I tend to have my IDE zoomed in to make the text bigger anyway (45 year old eyes!).
some things to consider for those that are thinking to switching to 4 monitors 1. You monitor size should be "following" that of your resolution. What I mean. In a 13-inch laptop a 4k monitor might give better sharpness, BUT the usable content after DPI scaling would be probably around the same. Similar to what Ella showed with the lines of code but closer because of the size of the monitor being 13. So, for 4k go for a minimum 27inch monitor, 32 is my preference. 2. Make sure your hardware can drive that 4k resolution. Especially if you want to game or stream make sure that your hardware can cope with the 4k resolution. 3. DPI scaling. At this moment MacOS has the best scaling. Windows 10 has gotten a lot better but you will still bump onto the occasional app that is not optimized for 4k or it is not working as it should. I am not commenting on Linux distros since there are a couple of different parameters to consider. 3.5. Continuing with DPI scaling, if on Windows and think, well i will reduce the resolution to 2k, well you are in for a surprise, since the interface and apps will look a bit blurry. It is much better to play with the advanced dpi setting for this app alone and have only one blurry app, rather than have a blurry desktop overall. 4. Last but not least, for those that are coders/devs, I would suggest 2 monitors if you can afford it, and the one to be able to Pivot. It makes a difference. In you exanple with the scaling you applied you will probably be close to double the lines of code on that same monitor. Have fun with your 4k monitors :-) PS. I have a pretty good eye vision, and most people are like "how can you see with this resolution" when working on 4k resolution with no scaling on a 27-inch monitor. I can assure you no person will have their 13-15-inch laptop at 4k with zero scaling. If someone does, then they are an exception of 1 in a million or even more. If on a laptop go with either 1080p (or 2k-like for a bit of extra sharpness), you will appreciate the battery life when you will be able to leave the house again :D
4k monitors sharpness and clarity are its strong points, however there are tradeoffs - price isn't such a big one, but for gamers 4k monitors tend to be sold at only 60Hz refresh rate which feels more "choppy" when wiggling a mouse or a window around on the screen than someone who has been conditioned to expect the snappiness and responsiveness of a higher refresh rate monitor. 2k monitors tend to be more available at similar price ranges at higher refresh rates. The only limiting factor for manufacturers (other than the panel cost obviously) is that the display cable protocols (HDMI/DisplayPort) need to be updated to the latest and greatest to push those pixels (the numbers being that a 2k monitor at 144Hz would be pushing about the same rate of pixels per second as a 4k at 60Hz).

I'm so confused. Why not just make a 30 second screen capture of a 4k desktop in use?
4K is overkill - text becomes too small - one can use scaling but Windows does not support it well for all apps (Linux and Mac no problem)

Or, even better, an ultrawide 1600p, such as the DELL U3821DW, which is even better in terms of user experience but has a much worse value than the HUAWEI mentioned. Hope this can help.
Yeah, what she said was like pure nonsense. Idk why people simpin so hard
Yes, I agree on what you have said. I prefer on two 1080p monitor.
Bro what if I'm changing the resolution to 1440p on a 28inch 4k monitor? I just ordered this 28inch 4k monitor. Pls give me an answer. Thanks

What on earth. The smaller font size isn’t that bad. And vs code gives WAY more screen realistate
Get a stand for your laptop to raise it upwards for better ergonomics.
I've always used 2 screens, one vertically and one horizontally. Is it worth it to have 2 4k monitors??

Why did not you mention the size of your monitor?????????
Actual video starts 3:30
You really want more text on screen? Just turn that screen vertical!
My thinkpad has a 4k screen, I got two 4k monitors, after experiencing 4k I'd never go back to 2k or 1080p
lol nice
saw her copying at stackoverflow ,, joke
the problem is my laptop only full hd res, if i use 4k monitor will it display 4k quality or the same 1080p quality??
It will display 1080p but still it will look better on a 4k monitor compared to 2k one
Your laptop will be able to use 4k if the connection port supports it. But it will run hotter/louder while driving a higher resolution.
Im really surprised that a small content creator like you makes really good quality and easy to understand videos, keep it up!

Does a 4k display always imply a high "nits" value? What's the minimum number of nits you can have with a 4k display?
Nope - zero bearing or relation to brightness capacity.

So, for me, taking the first 40 seconds for you is a bad opening strategy, and that's why I'm gone.
Do female programmers dig nipple piercings on engineers?
you can see the same number of lines of code regardless of resolution - it's a matter of screen size; 2k will just be less sharp
4k monitors sharpness and clarity are its strong points, however there are tradeoffs - price isn't such a big one, but for gamers 4k monitors tend to be sold at only 60Hz refresh rate which feels more "choppy" when wiggling a mouse or a window around on the screen than someone who has been conditioned to expect the snappiness and responsiveness of a higher refresh rate monitor. 2k monitors tend to be more available at similar price ranges at higher refresh rates. The only limiting factor for manufacturers (other than the panel cost obviously) is that the display cable protocols (HDMI/DisplayPort) need to be updated to the latest and greatest to push those pixels (the numbers being that a 2k monitor at 144Hz would be pushing about the same rate of pixels per second as a 4k at 60Hz).
I think they should assume anyone who programs likely games too. The new oled alienware ones seem amazing now
