Hi HN. Because I move around a lot I have always been working on my retina Macbook without using an external display. In 2 weeks I'll be visiting my family for a few months and I'll be constantly working from home, so I thought it may be worth investing into an external display. I'll be there for 3-4 months and I won't be able to take it with me afterwards so I don't want to spend too much - less than $1k and ideally less than $500.
1. Should I buy one of those 4K monitors? Are they worth it for development? Any experiences?
2. Should I buy a "standard" 1080p monitor? Should I buy two of those instead of a 4K?
3. Should I save the money and just keep working on my laptop like I've been all along?
Any experiences are appreciated.
