I think if we need any special monitor for coding it should be e-ink monitor. Cuz that feels like paper won;t hurt your eyes.

Back in the day before 4k was invented nobody wrote good code.

The best programming monitor is one that I can use for video games when I'm not programming

How to program: Get 8k monitor, set DPI scaling to 100%, use size 8 font to see as many lines of code as possible. At this point you probably have too much empty space on right side so turn your monitor to vertical position for more optimal use and to see even more lines of code.

With that monitor, my code will compile twice as wide as before.

[hnasheralneam]

Oooooh, thats why all my code is terrible, I'm using a 1080p screen instead of a 4k one

In the 70s, I coded on a Hazeltine monitor, you could have any color you wanted as long as it was green.

A real coding monitor would allow a user to manage its settings via GUI. Plus programmable actions: daytime dependent, sensor dependent, etc.

2:56 The USB-B is most likely for the USB-Hub on the monitor. Put the USB-B in the monitor and the USB-A into your computer (or another Dock), giving you access to the USB-As on the monitor. (most likely)

The idea of having a screen for programming sounds cool BUT... Paying $400 for a 60Hz screen is kinda expensive. It is year 2024, and 120 Hz is no longer a "high" refresh rate, it's normal basic feature that all screens above $100 should have

A few months ago I upgraded my home development from a 27 inch HD monitor to a curved Dell S3222SGW 31.5-inch (2560 x 1440 res) and I am really liking the result. It seems perfect for my c++ software development (in medical imaging research). Now if I could convince the boss to buy me the 34 inch version for work I could go down to 2 monitors instead of 3 however I work mostly at home since the pandemic since that saves me 90 minutes of driving. One of the reasons for switching to a larger curved monitor is my 52 year old eyes are not as good at seeing small fonts as I was when I started this job at 25. The old monitor caused me back pain because I ended up leaning forward much of the day to see the screen.

I used to have a 1920 x 1920 completely square monitor by EIZO, IIRC, where I used to work and it was an absolute joy to use.

I have been coding on LG's "DualUp" productivity monitors and LOVE it. The panel is set up for vertical use, the size is reasonable and I can do multimon without neck strain. The only thing that's frustrating is using apps that really WANT a landscape orientation.

Good to see 2:3 aspect ratio make an appearance again! My old Dell laptop had a 1600x1200 monitor. Then everyone went widescreen, and we got stuck with the media-consumption-focused 1080p laptops that haunt us to this day.

[fergusyoung]

I would imagine this would be generally a productivity powerhouse for coding but also anyone who is in spreadsheets or word processing all day. So long as you dont need colour accuracy i can see this think being pretty cool.

I had a coding monitor in 1993. It was a green screen 2nd monitor. You ran your app on one monitor and your code with break points on the green screen monitor.

I live in a Linux environment and most of my day is in VS Code. I followed the track of another coder online and grabbed a 40" 4K Television. I run things using Cinnamon at 125% scaling and constantly have either 2 tall windows or 4 1080p windows active (thanks to Cinnamon screen locking). It really was an eye opener when this $169 Costco monitor performed so well for these tasks. Add to that the ability to watch 4K videos or play Steam games like Elite Dangerous or No Man's Sky at 4K high settings (NVIDIA RTX GPU), and it's worth far more than the cost of entry. So, if you're looking for a 4K large monitor, something like my Pioneer is a very low-cost test point. Who knows, you may test this like I did and end up sticking with it.

16:10 or 3:2 definitely helps. 16:9 is not optimal for coding. 4K or better resolution for good text clarity without eye strain.

Needs KVM switch and USB-C with 65W+ charging to connect laptop and desktop at the same time. If gamedev, then 2x HDMI 2.1 ports for console devkits. USB-C port charges laptop and delivers image (4K 144Hz requires DSC compatible laptop and monitor) and connects mouse + keyboard to laptop instantly (one cable only).

If OLED panel then it needs to have fixed brightness mode. LG OLED TVs lack this. Brightness variation is annoying. Also OLED TVs have poor subpixel layout for text antialiasing.

High refresh rate (120Hz+) actually helps coding on a laptop with touchpad since you can scroll fast and read while scrolling. Mouse wheel teleports N rows at time. Don’t need high refresh rate for that.

I use an LG 43" TV as my main monitor with a second monitor on its side having the exact same width as my TV height. I use Fancy Zones to partition the screen into areas of standard resolution so that I can have two logical monitors side by side, with two half logical monitors below. But I have other zones that use the whole height for my VS Code work. I sit far enough away from the TV that I don't experience the extreme width issues (why others use curved monitors). And when I am done, I can switch over to the internet and stream on the TV with its smart OS. I couldn't be happier... and the TV was extremely cost effective.

That rectangular one is USB-B for a hub-class device.
