Tech review of the BenQ programming monitor.

27 inch seems a bit small these days

I went from an ultrawide to a single 27inch 4k. This sounds pretty good. Problem is I do a lot of screen sharing and it’s just much easier with normal aspect ratio for other people to see

Love your content Scott! But why vertical video? Why watch stuff trhough a gap in the door?

I'm really interested in the eye strain part of your future review. I have 3 27" monitors too and the eye strain is severe some weeks.

I've always pronounced it "ben queue" because the Q is capitalized at the end.

if there was ever a monitor that could have its buttons on the front, it'd be one aimed at programming

This would have been a perfect review if only I could see the whole monitor.

does your code compile faster? 🤓

Maybe a company can send you a ~$600 27" 4k to compare with the BenQ so you're comparing new technology to new technology. In the pre-4K days I got a Dell 30" monitor and found the extra vertical space was great for graphics work but didn't help in programming; YMMV. The way our eyes are positioned and the idea that shorter methods are better makes me wonder if 400 extra pixels makes much of a difference in programming if two monitors both use recent technology and can be configured to have about the same contrast, etc.
