Anyone else find that bigger/widescreen monitors suck for coding? Idk if it's habit at this point or what but I prefer to code on my 15" laptop screen than on my widescreen 27" monitors. What's the ideal size/ratio, or maybe my settings are just wrong? It's just weird for my eyes, feel like I'm constantly darting around the screen rather than having everything in focus.

24 or 27" depending on desk and how close you are sitting to your screen. every other size is a mental illness

21:9 ultrawide with side by side windows, IDE + <other thing>

Honestly 24 inches is the max amount of comfort for me given i have a small desk and sit close. I wanna 4k monitor doe cause 92 ppi sucks but then i gotta go up to 27 inches, or buy one of those weird gamer brand 24 inch 1440p monitors, not too sure what im gonna do.

you havent shopped around enough
picrel in vertical is excellent for programming

Is it possible to get a square monitor (new) for real cheap anymore?
>>108668087
600 dollars for that.

personally i actually enjoy the physical separation of multiple screens vs having one giant screen
>>
I much prefer a bigger screen with a full-sized keyboard and mouse, laptops are too cramped
It's like eating at a big table instead of inside a car

>>108667818
Aren't you supposed to get a bigass high PPI secondary monitor and use it in portrait mode? I don't program, that's what all my big-brained friends do though.
>>
>>108667818
I wish they made smaller 4k monitors, i've got a 27 and it barely fits on my desk
>>
>>108668248
portrait mode is a meme to look like you're a high performer
>>
>>108668248
Do they use vim and pretend they're real programmers? The vertical meme falls apart the moment you need a project explorer tab, a debugging tab, a docker tab, a git tab...
>>
>>108668352
I lied, I don't have friends.
>>
>>108667818
I'm using a 2560x1600 and I will never swap to anything else in my life.

You do you anon. I'm used to a 27" 4k screen and going back to a laptop sized screen annoys me every time.
