Ask HN: Programming monitor recommendations, 2023 edition

by kodisha on 3/3/23, 10:29 PM with 3 comments

I spent last 3 hours going through "best programming monitor" lists, and it's awful. The articles vary a LOT, every monitor is "good, in a way", and all of those articles are basically sponsored + affiliate links spam.

Which 27-32"+ monitor are you willing to recommend, and why?

    I'm really enjoying my LG 27EP950. I got it for 40% off on Amazon. The blacks and colors are amazing and the text clarity is pretty great. Really the only thing I would change is the refresh rate, but I am used to 60Hz again at this point.

    42" OLED sounds pretty good but I'm still on a 38" because I can't justify the upgrade.
