Bought a used 32" 1440p Samsung Odyssey G5 monitor for $250. Pretty much just open box. Factory plastic film wasn't even taken off of it. Holy crap, what a deal. Someone must have been pickier than I am lol. I hope LG ultragear monitor I bought new and returned gets the same fate. That thing was shit lol.

If you have bad eyesight, pass on a 4k 32" monitor. save some money and get something like this. I've been so used to having ~90PPI that I don't think I would like scaling on anything with more pixel density. for me, 4k would only make sense on a panel around 48" diagonal. Maybe I'm just a pixel perfect purist.

@pixelkeen I had a 28" 4K monitor for years. I was squinting so much, that I splurged on a 42" 4K monitor.

I discovered I had to train myself to sit in an upright position, because I was so used to sitting all hunched forward.

@Gremriel something I dont like about the size of this is how I look at the edges. I'm more likely to use strategicly positioned windows for ergo now. 24" 1080 setup was ideal ergo IMO, so it's definitely something to adapt to. Was so used to training my head to point at center. at 1.5-2 feet away, I could easily scan entire monitor with my eyes. Now it feels like I need to move my entire head to see edges. Good on you for ergo. Better to realize before it's a problem.

@pixelkeen I was running 32" 2k monitors for a few years. I recently got a 27" 180Hz 2k monitor and it's just right. The goldilocks zone. I can't see 4k being useful under 32" as well.. I also don't want to hide my pixels per say, just have them spaced correctly.
