I've been after a new monitor since the start of lockdown, as my home monitor was a nine year old 1080p model which had a fine mist of silver paint on the lower half of the screen, thanks to some airbrushing mishaps. It was definitely showing its age, but had been “fine” in a time when I was only using it one day a week.
I finally managed to get one with a price-to-features ratio I was happy with, and was in stock. In the end I decided to go with higher resolution (4K) over physical screen size (my original plan was 1440p @ 27”), and I'm very happy I did; everything looks so sharp and vibrant! Not having to completely rearrange my desk setup was also a bonus… the new monitor fit right onto the existing arm, with only a slight height adjustment needed to account for smaller bezels.
