I don't muck around when it comes to my computer. I don't nickel and dime. My last "monitor" cost me $900 and I'd spend it again.
55" of 4k QLED goodness. If I'm going to be staring at something all day, I want it to be worth looking at.
Also this way I don't need to mess around with multiple monitors. I have so much screen real-estate I just use Win+Arrow to rearrange multiple windows around my display as though I was using multiple monitors.

I remember my first LCD monitor (19", 4:3, 1280x1024, I believe) set me back $1600, before taxes. My 4K 40" TV was a bargain, in comparison, at $500. That, I'd do again.

Ah, the bad old days. 
Frankly I don't know why everyone doesn't just use TVs now.

I have been using an old 40" LED TV that has an input port for "computer" for a couple of years now. I have been delighted with it.
It doesn't have any speakers that work, and I haven't tried to make them work. I have a cheap but comfortable, over the ear earphones that I plug into my desktop if i need to listen to anything. This has the advantage of drowning out SWMBO, whenever she is trying to talk to. or yell at me.
enjoy your new monitor and give your cat a good talking to, if you think it will help. It won't.
Happy in NOLA

I recently bought a my first 34', 3440x1440 @144Hz (4,9 Mpixel) monitor.
There are others better than this for sure (as it is not that expensive), but I am really happy with it.

I scraped codeproject.com to test my markup reader, and wow, the JS here is actually readable.
I'm impressed actually. It's bloody difficult to get script to be that neat on dynamically rendered pages.
Also the page helped me find bugs in my code, so yay.
So to whoever took the time to do it, and whoever paid them to do so, cheers to all of you.

Agreed! It also seems to work flawlessly with debugging enabled...not true for way too many developer sites.

Yeah I probably should have. I wasn't thinking along those lines though, because my brain had stubbornly filed it under "random missive" and not "site bugs and suggestions" and wasn't about to be convinced otherwise. Sometimes it has a life of its own. What can you do? That's okay, in the end Matthew saw it.

Thanks.
Our coding standards ensure that we produce readable code that can be quickly comprehended.
We understand that you write code for people, not computers. It's the next person touching the code that needs to understand what is going on, not the compiler.
Since we are a small developer group here at CodeProject, we also understand that the next person to look at the code will be ourselves, so we are highly motivated to keep the code clean.

I would say O356 is much more consistent in it's data than ... e.g. cp?
At least they do not claim every bug as an caching issue 
Sorry for that, but I think you have much more homework then they have. Yes, I'm aware they have also much more $ available than you, but before you state such things clean your door

I hear you, brother. Three times this week at work I included needed information and people asked where it was. One was an email, I'd attached the specification to the message, I said the specification was attached in the message text, and I still had someone ask where it was and bitched because they couldn't find it. The other two were in our bug tracking system where I updated an issue, told people in the text that the correction was in build "X", and build "X" was already completed and available at the time. In both of those cases I had people ask which build the correction would be in, and when it would be available.

There is no acceptable excuse for this and the only explanation is laziness. I practically spoon-feed this stuff to them, because I know they won't get it otherwise, and they still it up.

Oh yes, this, this.
It drives me nuts when people utterly miss information that I ensured was clearly available to them. It happens in many scenarios.
