A bit off-topic but the number of IT workers still using small 1080p monitors in 2024 is absolutely shocking to me.
If you are one of the "I don't want a monitor that is too big" people: a larger (30+ inch diagonal) monitor allows you to place it further from your eyes which is the number one eye health and comfort factor. So the relative size of the display does not change, you won't have to move your head to see all of it. And you can scale up your display to >1 factor so the text won't be small either for hidpi displays. There's absolutely no downside to having a large diagonal large dpi display, aside from needing a wider desk if you have a very narrow one now.
So you want me to go spend money on a fancy new monitor... because by having a big enough desk and with a lot of tweaking, I can negate the extra pixels and get back to what I have now? (A lot of tweaking also includes having to jump through hoops when doing screen shares)
And possibly a deeper one. My 24" is pushed as far back as my desk will allow and a bigger monitor would be too close to me for comfort. At least it's not 1080p, although at 11 years old, I'll be looking to upgrade it fairly soon.
