I love big screens and I can't lie!

TL;DR - If you like real estate on the big screen, you'll love it! I'm a software developer. We use two 24" monitors at my company, but I haven't used such a small monitor at home since I bought the LG 26" in 2008 and we still used 22" monitors at work. I bought a 30" Dell U3014 in 2016 and ditched my 26" monitor for a second monitor. I've used dual monitors for almost 20 years and thought I could never go back to a single monitor setup. 2018, intending to use my 30" Dell monitor as a second monitor. Right? It's been 7 months and I still haven't connected a second monitor. One day I probably will, but it just wasn't necessary. This monitor does everything i need plus a lot more i don't or really need i just want a lot of screen real estate i just run it as one big monitor not the 2 or 4 it's capable of. I run Windows at 100% zoom and never need or want to maximize windows. I don't use a speaker, remote, or any of the dozens of other features it's capable of. I don't game. I'm not an art. But I do multitask going crazy like crazy with 22 windows open as I write this and have no problem figuring out which windows have priority for my attention.I code, work on spreadsheets, edit photos (personal, not professional), surf the web (of course), trade stocks, etc. I couldn't get enough of Fidelity Active Trader Pro on my 30" Dell Do It. worth using. It now takes up 2/3 of the screen while my browser is visible and my spreadsheets peek out, it only takes one click to bring them to the front. The invisible pixels around the edges are real but don't bother me. at least. I'm using a third-party taskbar on the side and I can't see a few pixels, but that's really not a problem for me. My viewing distance is 34 inches. I couldn't put it on my desk as it was too close and too high for a good view. I bought a cart (reviewed in another purchase) to put a monitor at my desk and it works great for me. Other users highly recommend the moveable wall mount, but I'm too cheap for that. I love this monitor and you probably will too.
