Hi folks.
Might be setting myself up for a captain obvious award here...
I'm, let's say, no longer in my 20s. 4k monitors just mean smaller fonts that'll be too small to see right? Waste of money?
Erm nope, not at all. I've just swapped my main 27 inch HD monitor for an inexpensive 28 inch 4K model and oh my word it's good. Because the resolution is higher even tiny fonts are crisp. That means more features visable at once in the tree, way move configuration table space and still a decent modelling area, oh and maybe leave the tab manager open too... Even some of the icons make more sense now 😉
Moral of the story, if you're doing CAD for more than an occasional hobby then if you're still on 1K then a months subscription cost invested on 4K monitors could make a significant quality of life improvement. Personally I'd say go for it.
Cheers, Owen.
