confession time: I bought a 27inch 4k/UHD asus "gaming" monitor for programming with.

any dark scene is impossible to see, even in a dark room. if the sun is out forget it, even with the blinds closed. no UI i've thrown at it scales properly and it's impossible to read tiny fonts. so all those pixels are totally wasted.

dumbest purchase i've ever made.

not sure what's on with dark scene in dark room tho, that poo poo is figured out. just find least-bad "preset" and then gently caress it up further, maybe get a calibration config somewhere on the internet

i think pagancow would say something about the gamer trash monitor having a bad panel / backlight / we. idk how that poo poo works. it was only $300 so i'm not super upset but still kicking myself for not doing at least a little bit of research.

the two asus gamertrash 27" 4Ks are sure gamertrash, but the panels are more than enough to display your monokai-themed ide in any light condition that isn't a directed projector beam. but neither of them is cheaper than $800

yeah this thing is garbage, i definitely have serious issues reading code during the daytime. nighttime is ok.
