Hi,
So I’ll be getting a new monitor for my work as programmer. As the company pays budget shouldn’t be an issue, but it should also not be a “gaming” monitor as that’s hard to justify.
Ideally it’d be (and since it does not exist I’ll add my priority):
- Optimal black levels, I’ll watch lots of series and movies in a dark room (Little negotiable)
- HiDPI for perfect mac scaling (Little negotiable)
- 32” (Little negotiable)
- Above 60 Hz (Very negotiable)
- Reasonable Price sub 1k (Negotiable)
- Awesome text clarity and readable in a bright day (Not negotiable)
To me the Apple Pro Display XDR 32” seems to cross most checkboxes, but unfortunately it’s not being produced anymore, and every other display I can find has major drawbacks…
Most others don’t have local dimming, and that’s where the ASUS ProArt PA32UCDM would come in as OLED, but I’m afraid of text fringing, and it’s only 4K surely not improving clarity
In the office I’ve a Studio Display, it’s nice and the pixel density does indeed seem right and I’d not like to go much lower.
