    On the topic of external monitors, what are the thoughts about 4K versus the 'medium resolution' size of 2560 x 1440? I am using the latter with a 27" screen, and I like it a lot. But wondering if 4K is noticeably better at that size.

    Every one I have bought for several years is 4K even the 27".
    Early on side by side I thought there was a difference.
    I would say there is definitely a deference if you are watching a video that is 4K.
    But all monitors are not the equal. There are those that are better and there are other factors that impact the monitor.
    Contrast ratio, refresh rate, type of display and manufacture all matter.
    The last monitor I purchased I even weighed in the ability to add USB ports and card slots.
    Now there are 5K monitors and some TV's are 8K so 4K may be the new medium resolution.
