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.​ On Nov 14, 2017 5:53 PM, "Jerry Snitselaar" wrote: > On Tue Nov 14 17, der.hans wrote: > >> Am 14.
