> So many of us have to stare at a screen for hours every day and having one that reduces strain on my eyes is well worth $1-3k if they'd just make them.

I'm 53 y/o and didn't have glasses until 52. And at 53 I only use them sporadically. For example atm I'm typing this without my glasses. I can still work at my computer without glasses.

And yet I spent 10 hours a day in front of computer screens since I was a kid nearly every day of my life (don't worry, I did my share of MX bike, skateboarding, bicycling, tennis, etc.).

You know the biggest eye-relief for me? Not using anti-aliased font. No matter the DPI. Crisp, sharp, pixel-perfect font only for me. Zero AA.

So a 110 / 120 ppi screen is perfect for me.

Not if you do use anti-aliased font (and most people do), I understand the appeal of smaller pixels, for more subtle AA.

But yup: pixel perfect programming font, no anti-aliasing.

38" ultra-wide, curved, monitor. Same monitor since 2017 and it's my dream. My wife OTOH prefers a three monitors setup.

So: people have different preferences and that is fine. To each his own bad tastes.
