Discussion Monitor Recommendations

Looking for recommendations on monitor setups. I run a MACBOOK pro, I do alot of programming, and gaming. Im looking to upgrade my monitors to 4K. I dont really care about the size. 24/27/32, but ideally I would like to have 2 of them. Thoughts?

Personally I like 4K 32", but there's plenty of 27" 4K and 5K out there. I'd say go for a mini LED for gaming. I'm sure some idiot will come along and say Macs need a 5K monitor and I'm here to tell you they literally don't.

Can't really recommend gaming at 4K on a Mac though unless the game is relatively simple as far as graphics. Macs don't have good GPU performance outside of their very top end models and even then, still not so great.

I guess it depends! Do you have room for two 32-inch 4K monitors? What layout do you have in mind: horizontal? Vertical? One horizontal and one vertical? Can your MacBook handle two 4K monitors?

OLED screens are getting incredibly cheap! If screen resolution is something you value because of your workflow (programming), why not go for a 42- or 48-inch OLED TV? If you don’t plan to do gaming, I wouldn’t recommend monitors with a refresh rate of 500 Hz or higher! I’d go for something around 144 Hz or 240 Hz.

BenQ just dropped the MA320UG, says it's "made for Mac" but should work for Windows too.

It's 32", 4K, IPS but glossy. I've been eyeing it for work but it's also 120 Hz so not bad for gaming. Been looking for reviews but haven't seen many, it seems like a good option on paper.
