In this video, I want to touch briefly on developer health, and specifically on the aspect of computer monitors.
We'll look at one monitor with BenQ's built-in "Eye-Care Technology" to reduce eye strain and headaches. This monitor has some real perks for programmers and can be bought at a budget price.
Watch to the end for the FREE monitor giveaway!

Great review on the BenQ GW2790QT! I'm curious if you'd recommend this monitor for someone who primarily works within a browser to run their business, with occasional use of Canva and Photoshop, but no video editing involved. Would it suit these needs well?"

Thanks for the video, I currently am using a 28" 4k monitor. I use it for coding all day and playing games at night...I can't drive 4k, so I sometimes wonder if I should have gone with 1440p. 4k can be quite nice for text clarity though.

Thanks for the great advice BTW, Godspeed.

I usually set up my 24" monitor next to my laptop, but end up using the laptop more. Although the monitor has adjustability it takes a long time to set up properly. I just bought a monitor stand and realized that I was going to need a new monitor since the old one is quite heavy. I was searching for eye care monitors since I am programming and staring at the screen for almost 10 + hours now and this video appeared just in time.

I use a Samsung 24" monitor that I probably had for 10 years now as my center display. I had always thought about upgrading but never made the jump to do it. Besides that, I just use my 16" laptop on the side as a 2nd monitor. 2 monitors always seemed to be enough for my needs but more real estate for the center display would definitely be appreciated.

I'm not from US however i'm going to say it anyway. While i was working i was issued with 2x 27" monitors and it was ok but not great. Before that i tried an ultrawide montior at tech store and fell in love with it. So, i do prefer ultrawide monitor 29" 2560x1080 or 34" 3440x1440 for coding and live preview. Currently i use single 22" 1080p monitor and it's not enough. Sometimes i do open up 2 window side by side in the IDE and it gets really crowded. I'm not employed right now and can't afford UW monitor. i'm going to buy one soon as possible

I have a 32 inch monitor on top of a monitor base with the laptop sitting on the desk centered.
