So, while I will change the notebook soon, first I want to change the monitor, so I can connect without the USB-C hub. Randomly disconnecting the display, it slows down the notebook, and sometimes causes it to bluescreen. There are no HDMI or DisplayPort connectors on the notebook and the monitor has just two inputs, DVI-D and VGA. My current setup uses a USB-C hub with HDMI output to connect to a Full HD monitor using a HDMI to DVI-D cable. And 32 inches seemed over the top, especially considering that I have limited desk space and can’t sit miles away from the screen to see it all comfortably. Windows 10 has good support for high DPI displays, so I don’t have any issue with scaling, other than the loss of screen real estate. And 27 inches because it’s the smallest size where you can benefit from the extra screen real estate provided by 4K without scaling, or at least with very little scaling, and still be able to read text without squinting. And that’s important if you spend 6-8 hours a day sitting in front of a monitor. More on that later.Īnd briefly, before I look at the more technical details, why 27 inches and 4K? 4K because higher resolutions are easier on your eyes.
And most notebooks don’t support connecting two 4K monitors at 60Hz. But I don’t do it often enough to justify the cost when I can use my notebook as a temporary second display. Although I do edit video from time-to-time, which is a task that benefits from a second monitor. Without getting too much into the debate about whether a two-screen setup would be better, most of the work I do doesn’t require a second screen. After much deliberation, I decided that one 27-inch 4K monitor would best suit my needs. I’m currently in the process of upgrading my notebook and external monitor that I use in my home office.
