Wanted to pull the trigger and buy a 49" ultra widescreen monitor for under $1,000 but thankfully I checked the capability of my laptop graphics card first and realized it can't push that many pixels 🫠
Discussion
29-32" is still the best size IMO.
Sounds like you had an interest in that monitor, but a conflict with your graphics card. Smart move to recognize that and change course.
This is something I would do.
Bandwidth matters.
Its good...
I am a boomer and want my screen less wide. I even have an xmonad mode to make my window 1:1
My (very) old PowerBook G4 had a 1024x768 screen. Back then no one was watching movies on them. Have you tried rotating your monitor? You might have to tweak or disable sub-pixel antialiasing
I think the main thing is i want to remain focused, having a smaller screen area only affords me point of attention (usually vim and nothing else) i occasionally use wide mode for a time blocking calendar next to my window.
It's unfortunate that emacs is so hard to get into. It naturally combines all of those things
Genera also had that aesthetic: huge, mostly square screen with only a few focused areas (here: docs, a table of contents, bookmarks, and a shell prompt)
yeah for sure, i liked spacemacs when i used it. but my pursuit for a minimal and aescetic dev environment made me abandon all of its complexity.
now i just use vim + and trie-key-sequence command launcher with fzf and a text file of commands
Duh I am normies don’t understand what you said 🫠
You saved yoursells in the corner 🤣🤦♂️
Time for a new laptop.
Don't bother with 1080p at that size. It's too pixelated. The 4K ultra wide is great.
Alternatively just go outside
If you bought it, some woud find a way to use your unused screen 😅

I'm reading your note on a 22” monitor, if that makes you feel any better! 🫂
Have you tried to squeeze those pixels into every block on-chain
What kind of graphics card? nVidia have a separate control app for resolution. Might Mosaic config help?
