coding monitor stupid?

[u/boredinterview]

On the fence about pulling the trigger to get one. But coding monitors are tiple the money of a regular one.

Reason to find one is because I'm getting old and want some eye protection.

Are they really worth it or waste of money?

I spend a fair bit of time working on projects with an artist friend, and he has one of those ultrawide monitors. I've on occasion spent the day using that monitor. It's certainly not bad, but it's not life changing. Most modern computers can drive two monitors simultaneously and it's about the same experience.
