36" 4096x2160 (4K not UHD!) is about perfect size IMO.
8K/16K OLED panels in this size will be awesome! :)

What happened to the avatar?

And I dunno why all the buthurt about "4k" 3840x2160. It's 4x 1080p which is easy to recall when saying 4k, and close enough to "real" 4K that calling it 4k is fine. Besides, the 3840 spec is much more common, like 1080 is over 1200. In the rare case you need to specify "real" 4k then just say so or mention 4096. I figure if you're gonna go wider, just go to 21:9. That would be 5k at 5040x2160, yes I know there's already a "real" 5k but could be easily differentiated by 16:9 or 21:9.

True 4K is 4096x2160. UHD is 3840x2160. It preserves the 16:9 AR that HDTV and other formats exist in. On our Eizo panels a UHD aka 4K video shows small black bars on the left and right. Professional displays are 4K.

The ratio and scaling thing is ridiculous. And it's going to get worse at higher resolutions. Personally I would be fine with a high DPI display and run it at the desired resolution with a proper scale. OSX does it well. Still broken in Win10. No surprise there.

21:9 is a completely different animal. It's great for productivity but just like you find folks stretching 4:3 movies to fit on a 16:9 display(!) you find folks running a single browser full screen on a 21:9 monitor! All that space on each side wasted. D:

I still like my whimpy 2560 X 1080 Dell 29" But can't afford new toys atm anyway.

:p

I can't get the wife to sacrifice her Cubanelle pepper she bought for the pizza, shes saving that for another recipe I guess.

I kinda miss the old avatar myself, but it is a new year I guess.

Obviously we need to move back to CRT.
I love being able to pick whatever resolution and refresh I want.
And I know what a 36" CRT is like :awe: Do want!

Like I said though, I'd settle for that 30" 4k UHD OLED.

Yup. Also a towel. Towels have immense psychological value.

You must always know where your towel is. Helps with the Strags.

This Pizza starting to turn into a real project, time to pop em in the oven.

OLED has some issues on bigger displays.
I'd love to have a 5K 17" retina macbook pro with OLED display, 8 core Xeon, 64GB DDR4 and 4TB nvme storage with 6GB/S R/W and 2 megaIOPS. :) A 12GB nvidia quadro GPU would be nice to outputing over TB3.1 at 60Gpbs.

And the fusion reactor to power all this.
