Best monitors for programming

For code, vertical space and text sharpness matter more than refresh rate.

Resolution and size

27-inch QHD is the comfortable default. 4K at 27 inches needs scaling; 1080p at 27 inches looks soft.

USB-C docking

A monitor with 90W USB-C power delivery removes a charger and a dongle from your desk.
