The Ideal Monitor Resolution
We’ve seen an explosion of quality screens… that sit in our pockets, but our desktops have been abused with poor monitors for far to long.
The average consumer & business user has a 1920x1080 monitor or lower (at least according to google analytics on the sites that I’ve built).
Let’s see how that compares to the potential.
Now you need some serious throughput to handle some of these resolutions. Good thing new cables have been developed.
So how fast is HDMI 2.1: 48 Gbit/s? Fast enough to handle 10k resolution.
When computers & monitors are pumping out 10k — we’ll have the capacity for 21x the rows & columns in spreadsheets (depending on the screensize).
But, let’s be realistic —10k monitors aren’t mass produced yet. Hell, there are only a few 8k monitor’s like Dell’s below:
Even worse, there aren’t a lot of “normal” computers that can power 8k monitors. But, imagine a monitor like Samsung’s ultrawide:
Based on 4k base resolution instead of 1920
That would change the resolution from 3840 X 1080 to 7680 X 2160. This ultra-wide could work with Thunderbolt 3 in a 42in form factor.
Please someone make this monitor for me.
