Simple poll since my head is SPINNING.
I'm upgrading my main desktop. My current monitor is on it's last leg. I want to replace this monitor with one that will last for about 10 years without feeling the monitor upgrade itch. So, I'm looking for something that I can run and have some real estate in pixels for several years without feeling like an idiot for going too small.
But--I also game, not heavily, but enough that I need to drive what I get. I will build my machine to handle whatever size I get--that being said, I'm not interested in SLI or running a computer that is worth more than my car so a single card for the next couple years will have to work. I'm not really interested in 144hz or TN panels, so for the most part, assume 60hz.
I was leaning towards a 4K display because I could always turn the resolution down to 1080p and not have too jagged of lines (not sure if this really works well in practice). I love the idea of the ultra-wide (hate the cost of the 3440x1440 models).
What do you guys think makes the most sense? What do you guys run? Do you like it?
