Hi,
I have a Mac studio and a 32" 4K monitor that I used to use as a second monitor with a 5K iMac. It's a reasonable monitor. However, I'm finding it difficult to work with, partly because my eyes require computer-distance glasses, and I am constantly moving to see everything in focus at once. Plus, a large display at 4K reduces the dpi, and it's taken a while to get used to evaluating sharpness.
I'm thinking of getting a smaller monitor. Some options I'm considering are the following:
1) 27" Mac Studio 5K
2) Clarity 27" 4K - no idea if they are any good, but the price is better. https://ca.alogic.co/products/clarity-27-uhd-4k-monitor
3) Or a Dell https://www.dell.com/en-ca/shop/dell-ul ... ccessories

Or , any other suggestions?
thank you
Scott

I am also considering a 27" monitor and am seeing lots of folks who like the Benq SW272U. B&H has it on sale for $160 off.

I use the benqsw272u as above. From what you are saying my eyes seem to be in the same play pen as yours and I am finding it excellent. Infact I am thinking of getting a second one as they are on special here in Australia too.
