So, fedi, how do I pick monitors?

I want to spec out a new home office workspace. I want three monitors, probably larger than 24” each. I am somewhat visually impaired, inasmuch as I have myopia, astigmatism and encroaching presbyopia, and have just been operated for strabismus. I have glasses for this, but I do need to keep my screens at a reasonably consistent distance from my face.

I’m not a gamer, so I don’t need the ultra-high-framerate screens, and I’m not in professional media either, so super-faithful colour reproduction is not a huge concern. I would appreciate high contrast ratio, and good tolerance for a pretty well-lit office with lots of natural light. I mostly do office work and programming.

I’m not looking for specific monitor recommendations, rather resources that tell me what to look for and how to evaluate the relevant specs.

I am not averse to spending some money on decent quality monitors, I am going to spend hours a day at it.

@moof I am thinking maybe something with high dpi like 27 inch (32?) 4k display so that scaling it to 200% doesn't really hurt, I don't really have resources since I usually just wing it but that's probably what I would look for roughly

@moof although I suppose 27 inch 1080p could work as well if you don't have money for that kind of stuff
