I would love that have this one as a secondary though:

Good monitors in square format are super expensive :/
Currently having a 1600*1200 as secondary wich is close enough I guess.

Can you imagine my delight when I went from my Dell Inspiron 1500 with a 15.4 inch screen to a widescreen 24" monitor!? I think 22" or 24" is where it's at, after you go much bigger, you start having to move you're eyes or even head to see things on the screen.

yeah and the moving of eyes thing makes big screen shit for faf. I think its best to play with a 24 incher and see everything in one glance.

I tried 32 inch specifically for faf and it was a nightmare that gave me lasting headaches and sore muscles in my eyes.

So ultra wide works well with FAF?

Then you just sat too close to it. I've been using 30" 2560x1600 for 10+ years, but I have a deep desk... and behind that a shelf that holds the monitor(s). Note that I use 30" 16:10. 32" 16:9 is just junk; too wide and too low. But that summarizes the 99% of what is available now. Sadly. if my current screen dies I will replace it with a 43" 3840x2160 (16:9 sadly).

24" in 16:9 can only fully fit a portrait A4 sized document 1:1 when you hide everything else. A 24" 16:10 gives 28mm space beyond the portrait A4. The 30" comes close to showing an A3 sized document 1:1

I wish everything would move to 3:2. But sadly that is only seen on things like the MS Surface. So either a good screen with junk computer or good computer with junk screen... :roll:
