I currently have a single monitor setup.

I want to upgrade. Which one is better?

1. Buying another monitor (same as I have)
2. Buying a big 40" TV and code on that

Tveeeeeeee

Normally I would say get another screen, but I didn't even consider the tv. That's a brilliant idea :)

How can you use a 40" tv on a desk? I don't watch my tv from 20cm of distance, instead a monitor is made for this

A TV probably isn't that good for your eyes from a small distance though

The resolution of a TV will be less than a monitor of the same size. Go with the second monitor

Buy additional monitor - I've got 27' AOC and it's great for me, but in work i use 24inch and it's fine too. TV is preety bad idea - your's eyes will hurt after spending hours near to tv, so the efficiency of coding will go down :)

Monitor it is. Should I for 2 or 3 monitor setup.

@DrKintobor unless it's a 4k TV.
But the real problem is that TVs are optimised for moving pictures, but maybe that's an old issue that modern TVs don't have.

Do NOT code on a TV, worste 3 months of my life (my motiors got fried)

I had a TV to play vanilla wow. Back then the res was low...not as good as you think....3x monitors is a minimum when I had 5 2x years ago....the 2x 17 inches were used for ftp and long running tasks

I'd definitely go for a second monitor.

Tv. Although ''32 might be better, take into account that you'll be very near to it.

TV if it's 4k and you can power it at 60 hrz. I have a 4k but the refresh is low. I had two monitors previously but there wasn't enough screen real estate.

Just get one of those 34" ultrawide and you're set!

+1 go for an ultrawide
I was skeptical but it's an ideal solution now for a dev environment

only a monitor ! Keep your eyes healthy. Every monitor < ~30inches is good enough.

Second monitor for sure (haven't tried a single wider monitor setup, that could also work)

27" Dell 4k display. Way better than the apple cinema displays at half the cost. Trust me, I'm running both on my desk right now.

You need this...we all do.

They are super expensive here. The LG ultra wide is about $1000.

Get another monitor

@mcraz Same here but get a job, get your boss for it or be a contractor and get the tax back for it

@mcraz 2

@DarkMukke soon. Just an intern now.

@mcraz to be hones, i got an ultra wide (21:9) 23" but rotated 90 degrees in the middle and 2x 22" 16:9 on either side. Vertical monitors are the best for coding, it's so awesome..
