Another option is the 27" 5120x2880 LG display that Apple sells. That's like a "retina" version of my screen. I could run it at a higher effective resolution than 2560x1440 when I need more space, but this feels like a tradeoff -- my eyes aren't so great. I don't like tiny text. I'd also have to buy a newer Macbook to drive it... meh.
I'd like to get something that runs at the DPI my 27" display provides, but larger on all sides. I stare at a monitor for most of my waking hours so price isn't much of a concern, but as far as I can tell, nobody makes something like this.
I thought about two 27" displays rotated 90˚, but subpixel rendering goes away when the panel rotates and it looks horrible. I also wouldn't like a big seam down the center of my monitor.
Any tips?
