Comment on Ask HN: Devs with ADHD do you use specialized tooling?parent

Yup! — It’s very interesting imo how different the best monitor setup for different people. I worked with a friend who is a lot like me in a lot of ways – and they just used a 13” laptop and nothing else and it was obviously the best setup for them.

—It’s tricky with big 4K displays. Subtle. I worked on a 43” 4K IPS display for a while and it didn’t work for me — the pixels were just big enough for the structure of them to have an effect on how things looked. Slightly weird color / light things at the edges.

The 55” 4K OLED doesn’t have this issue even though the pixels are bigger because of how it works fundamentally. No pixel mechanism to see there really.

(It might be possible to build a 43” 4K IPS panel that doesn’t have the issue, idk!, but it would be such a tiny niche product that I doubt it would happen anyway.)
