In the process of deciding which best budget external monitor to be used with my MacBook Air (Mid 2015), two 32-inch ViewSonic displays have come to the fore, one 4K: VX3276-4K-MHD and one 2K: VX3276-2K-MHD. My overall purpose is to use the external monitor for office tasks as text creation and editing (mostly in Word), and browsing and watching YouTube and streaming services.
The reason why I bring this decision to this Forum, is trying to find out which one is the best and without problems, using my 2015 MacBook Air and MacOS Big Sur (and Monterey), especially given what I have read about problems regarding MacOS and scaling. My eyesight demands that the text not being too small, and not at all so small as 1:1 on 4K on a 32-inch screen will appear sitting at a normal distance, using a 80 cm deep desk.
I have looked at numerous monitors, also at some displays 27 inch. So please also consider both 27- and 32-inch and 2K and 4K. The possible scaling problem I have read about is of most importance for me to consider, I think.
Can you please give me some good advice before buying?
