Are 4k 27" monitors worth it? Or do things look super small at 100% scaling anyway so might as well just get a 1080p? It's mostly for productivity, work, development, kinda task. I'd like to know how GameMaker runs too, if it improves productivity or not, and for other general game dev/software development stuff.
Any suggestions on monitor setups? I'm thinking of triple 1080p 22" monitors since they're quite cheap. I like 4k sharpness but they're kinda pointless if you're on a tight budget, so 1080p really stands out to me.
For 4k, is it even possible to do 100% scaling? At what size? 32" perhaps? I have a 55" 4K TV that I tried hooking my machine with, and boy things look super small!! I don't think anything less than 40" is viable for 100% scaling!!
Worth noting that I've always been ballin' on a 12" 1080p ultra book at 125% scaling so things get quite cramped. I can't fit as much code/IDE stuff on my screen. So I'm as happy as can be with dual 22" 1080p @100% scaling tbh, but I'm open to discussions.
One more thing, I'm also torn between dual vs. triple monitor setup. I feel like 3 is a bit overkill, and can potentially overwhelm me by constantly repositioning windows etc. thus it ended up being less productive instead, but on the other hand I think the extra space is great to have. Not quite sure though.
Let me know your insights!
