Which one of the two do you have the best experience with?


You say that

"The main reason is vision problems that I have: Have to do a lot of e-mails every day and have to a lot of search on various web sites for my profession. I need a screen which cause the least strain on eyes while the text and pictures on the screen must be exceptionally clear."


You may want to consider what size of text you would prefer on the screen. That's because

  • Retina "like 2560x1440" mode (draws in 5120x2880 detail) is an ideal match for a 5K display
  • Retina "like 1920x1080" mode (draws in 3840x2160 detail) is an ideal match for a 4K display


If you like the size of text on a 27" 2560x1440 monitor, a 27" 5K display running in "like 2560x1440" mode would give you that size of text – but with much better sharpness and clarity (due to the use of 5K resolution to draw the letter shapes).


If you prefer exceptionally large text, a 27" – 32" 4K display running in "like 1920x1080" mode could give you big text with increased sharpness and clarity (due to the use of 4K resolution to draw the letter shapes).

There is no such thing as Best on any product, that is why we have choices. Your question is so broad that it makes it impossible to answer. Think about what your uses are and the do some due diligence on monitors that are available and select the one the comes closest to fitting your needs.


Your question is like, "What is the best car for Atlanta, GA?" Who knows, what do you intend to do use it for?

Hi Plan to get one. Use Microsoft at the moment. (I have an Apple Air, iphone and ipad). The main reason is vision problems that I have: Have to do a lot of e-mails every day and have to a lot of search on various web sites for my profession. I need a screen which cause the least strain on eyes while the text and pictures on the screen must be exceptionally clear. Is someone can help, shall be grateful!
