To this day, 27" 1440p, 144hz IPS gaming monitors are still my favorite daily driver for any desktop productivity. And when I say favorite, I mean by an extremely large margin.

The amount of real estate you get with 2560x1440 is fantastic, and you can actually game on it at native resolution on older gen graphics. The pixel density of 27" @ 1440p is the epitome of goldilocks. Every single pixel is just the right amount of useful.

I use one, but it’s still not sharp enough for design work. You can see aliasing everywhere.

24” @ 4K would be perfect but is hard to come by.

I switched from 27in 1440p to 27in 4K recently, and I am enjoying it. I previously used 100% scaling, but now I'm using 200%. I have less screen real estate, but everything is more crisp, and I find myself leaning forward at my monitor less and with less eye strain.
