QHD or 4K monitor for 2018 MBP 13"

[JohnAtl]

I really like my LG 4K monitors. Don’t use the one at home since I bought the iMac Pro. Here are some thoughts:

24" or 27" monitor for text/documents?

I would strongly encourage you to get a 4K monitor. I deal with text a lot (writing, reading PDFs), as well as some graphics work (Keynote, sciencey graphs and plots, omnigraffle, mind maps). I recently ditched my dual-24” HD monitor setups (home and school/lab) for a single 27” 4K monitor (one at home, one at the lab), and it is so much better, and easier on my eyes. Having one screen is also less distracting, and helps me focus. My laptop is always clamshelled when I’m working.

Recommended monitors?

I recently switched from dual 24” monitors to a single 27” 4K monitor and am much happier with the quality of text and graphics. Used with my 2015 rMBP, and a Mini DisplayPort To DisplayPort cable for 60Hz refresh rate. How nice, they are currently marked down.
