seeking 4k curved monitor recommendation

[Stephen Partington]

Having dealt with 4k and 2k screens I am a huge proponent of 2k (2560x1440)
at 27 in o
​r
 less.
​And in all I am a huge fan of 2k screens for text, gaming, video.

​The inherent cost of 4k monitors still leaves me comfortable with the 2k x
27 in area.​
