I switched from a 38UC99 to a 43" 4K (16:9) display. For me, the extra vertical space (35% more) makes it much more useful for programming-type work. For example, showing many lines of code or logs at once.

What a mess. I'm reminded of the quote: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." It's incredibly dystopian how people are made to satisfy this buggy app, while meeting the conflicting quotas, al
