    Got a 32" 4k Benq DesignVue for my little box-room office after the discussion about DPI on 27" vs 32" last year...

    Screen is really nice, my big concern with going to 32" was the view angle, but it's great... Still very usable right up in your face. I think these may be the same panels as on the LGs as the specs are identical. The finish is about as matt as it gets, along with the size makes for a more immersive experience while coding than on the MacBook screen.

    My plan was to run it unscaled but text was not quite as legible as my 4k LG Ergo 27" (which i use for music and run unscaled) - I guess this would be expected due to 'larger' pixels right in your face but kind of defeats any practical advantages the 32" vs 27" DPI argument. 4k is 4k and 5k is better and i think that's that! :)

    Running nicely and charging with my M1 over a (relatively) cheapo TB4 cable. It has the Benq 'hotkey puck' currently set up as KVM with my intel MBP, need to switch out the keyboard with my mechanical/ wired one to get the most out of that.
