This has absolutely been my struggle since upgrading my lighting. It’s also so difficult to find data about how bright a monitor actually is! I bought some 1440p “gaming monitors” that I think are around 450 nits, and these are just barely bright enough for my newly lit up office.


This one has pretty decent brightness and comes with great blacks too.

And the widescreen format is great for development.

The 34" is basically an extended 27", whereas the 38" is an extended 32"

Alienware QD-OLEDs have a special pixel layout which isn't good for text


It’s probably not as much of a problem on macOS and Linux where the majority of apps will obey system text rendering settings (and macOS defaults to non-subpixel AA anyway) but under Windows everybody does their own thing for text rendering regardless of how you’ve set up ClearType and it’s a mess.
