Monitors

My day is calls, documents and Slack across two monitors off a MacBook Pro, about 15 hours of it. I check text at Mac scaling, the refresh rate System Settings reports over DisplayPort, brightness late in the day, and whether the Mac sees the monitor every time I plug it in. The two Gawfolks on my desk came from the same brand and got very different scores, and the reviews say why.

Same brand as my main monitor, an unusual shape, and a very different score.Should you buy it?

Budget 4K at a refresh rate Macs rarely get. Two weeks in, one thing I miss.Should you buy it?
