This post is provided by Senior ADM, August Banks who highlights the many benefits of having a large display area to increase developer productivity. With recent advances in 4K technology and the latest Windows 10 Creators Update, the days of higher productivity with expansive screens and ultra-high resolutions are here. While the use of virtual desktops and multiple monitors help to varying degrees, I find myself spending cycles remembering or searching around for exactly where those application windows live and how to get back to them easily.

For many years I was able to improve productivity by using multiple HD displays with a nominal resolution of x 2 million pixels. I found that two monitors worked well for me as they fit neatly on my desk, and effectively doubled the real estate of a single monitor with just the small added cost of a second monitor and inexpensive display adapter.

However, this solution has a few limitations, such as:. While the multiple display solution has proven effective for many years, I would suggest that there are now better options available at a comparable price point. UHD displays have a nominal resolution of x 8 million pixels , which has the equivalent display space of 4 HD displays with same or smaller footprint of a dual monitor setup. Much of the decision on what size 4K UHD display to use depends on how far from it you will be working.

You will need the following components to ensure a clear, flicker free large UHD display. I would expect to see many more PC monitors in this size in the near future, but that mostly depends on the adoption rate of these new larger displays.

The choice on which to use really depends on expected usage, and budget. The advantage that PC monitors have are mostly around response time, color accuracy, and quantity of PC specific ports i. If those things are important to you, you will want to do your due diligence here to identify which matches your use case most. For most use cases, a UHD 4k television is an excellent choice.

Once you have your UHD display, and compatible video card you will need to configure and fine tune the display to receive the highest picture quality. I have included some screenshots and recommendations on how to setup your display.

Set the scaling according to your visual preferences, however these settings are what I find work best for me. That can be configured in the control panel for your display adapter. The picture shown below is for Nvidia cards, and other cards should have similar settings. I have used it for a several months now, and I am a complete convert to using large scale monitors. The biggest benefit I have experienced is the expanded height available as I can now expand applications to a full pixel height.

As you can see in the screenshot below, I have open my Visual Studio code editors with 87 lines being visible at one time which is great when doing code reviews. Previously you could accomplish this by using a widescreen monitor in portrait mode, however that would limit horizontal width. I have moved my toolbar from the bottom to the left, as I now have enough width that the toolbar on the side has almost no impact on usable screen area. Also, many of the windows can overlap yet always be visible so I can view status, switch and multitask without going to the taskbar.

These are subtle changes, but over the course of a day they are very impactful and efficient. I would say that the impact is very subtle as viewing the screen top to bottom can be accomplished with eye movement alone, so my neck and head stay in their usual position. To improve upon this, I have mounted my display to the wall instead of using a desktop stand , which has allowed me to lower the screen the few inches the stand would use.

This positions the center of the screen squarely at my eye line, and with a sitting distance from the screen of 40 inches, it all works quite well together.

Finally, you can multi-purpose the display to use with a television tuner, media streamer, or video game console. Previously I would need to have these on separate displays, but now I can enjoy multiple activities in the same space and on the same screen.

I encourage you to give it a try, and hopefully it proves as effective for you as it does for me. Earlier in this post I mentioned some enhancements made available with the Windows 10 Creators Update RS2 that was released in March Premier Support for Developers provides strategic technology guidance, critical support coverage, and a range of essential services to help teams optimize development lifecycles and improve software quality.
