Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

As the previous poster indicated, "retina" high DPI displays reduce eyestrain. Thus, a 24" or 27" 4K monitor with 200% scaling will be far better for your eyes than a 40".
Just make sure you are using [a Mac] or Windows 10, which dramatically improves scaling for applications that are not HI...
If you aren't using the native/full resolution, you will always have fuzzy text. If you are using the native/full resolution with font scaling, then you'll get fuzzy text in applications that are not high-DPI aware. In Windows 8.1, only applications built for high-DPI monitors look good with...
Scaling for legacy apps has definitely improved in recent builds of Windows 10.
It's still not anywhere near as good as the Mac's scaling, but it's a noticeable improvement.
