We went to Costco today. An impulse "on sale now!" buy for me - I now have a new 32" computer monitor. I installed the thing and it is BIG. I had a 27" monitor before, and that's no miniature by any means, but this new one is giant. It's not just larger in size, it's higher resolution too - so more stuff fits on the screen. It's 2560x1440 resolution. They had a 4k 32" monitor sitting next to it (also on sale I believe) but I didn't want 4k (that's 3840x2160 resolution). Even though it was 32", that super high resolution makes normal text fonts too small to comfortably read. You don't notice this on the storeroom displays - since they're all just showing photos and movies, which indeed look fantastic at 4k. Great for a TV set, not so optimal for a computer screen. Sitting here in front of my monster monitor now, text on our forum at 32" 2560x1440 looks about the same size as it did at 27" 1920x1080. So I ended up having more screen real estate to play with, without making things smaller.
The one thing I'm undecided about is that the monitor is curved. I'm not sure if I like that. It does feel like it surrounds you. That's touted as a feature. But I think it's a bit on the creepy side. But I'll give it a few days to see if I adjust to it and the weird feeling goes away. I'm already starting to adjust after just a few hours.
Oh yeah, and I'll have to adjust the acceleration and speed of my trackball mouse. The higher resolution makes moving the mouse cursor long distances a two-step process. Used to be I could quickly spin the trackball and the cursor would go the entire length of the playing field. But now it takes two spins to get it all the way across the screen. This is a simple adjustment though.
got 7+ pints from 12 ears. Then I began cleaning the summer kitchen and ended up breaking the glass of my antique churn 
. Will have to see what I can find in way of a replacement but still upset about it.
