How big is your desk? How far away will you be sitting from your monitor? A 27 to 32 inch screen size seems to be the industry norm at the moment and all the best standing desks can easily fit a pair of these, but you can find different size screens to suit your needs. Let’s make a quick breakdown of what everything means, so you can decide whether it’s important to you. Despite the potential technobabble, those specs and numbers are really just covering a few aspects of the monitors you’ll want to consider. When you first start looking at computer monitors, you’re likely to see a whole lot of specs and numbers that are no doubt confusing.
When we talk about computer monitors, it’s ever so slightly different in the pixel count - the standard aspect ratio for 4K technology is (3840×2160) - but in essence it’s still four times more pixels than Full HD/1080p. With approximately twice the vertical and horizontal pixels of 1080p, 4K media has effectively four times more pixels than full HD television. Those bolded numbers should make sense when you match them up.ĤK generally has an aspect ratio of (4096×2160) and is considered ultra-high-definition, or UHD. High-definition (1280×720) was known as 720p, and when Full HD came along (1920×1080) came, that was also known as 1080p. The term ‘4K’ refers to the horizontal dimensions of the resolution on a screen.
