Time to upgrade my monitor.
I've happily plodding away on an Acer 24" but i like the idea of a larger screen, and then the Acer as a second screen. but i've heard different opinions on whether to opt for a 4k screen this time. I'm only doing photo editing, not video, and some 'experts' recommend 4k for video but not for stills.
I'm struggling with logic. Its probably all i need to decide. A 28" screen will show more of my image, and so i'll have to zoom less than i do now. A 4k screen has about double the amount of pixels per dimension so does that mean that i have to zoom as i do now to get a similar result? Or am i missing another point to help me choose my next screen?
I'm not going (unfortunately) for a real top end monitor, but i'm spending a lot of time in front of the screen, so any suggestions would be welcome.
