In some markets, the cost of a WQHD (2560x1440) > or UHD (3840x2160) IPS or AHVA panel has come down a lot recently. With these high resolution panels, there is a problem with the size of tools: for instance, I have a resolution of 1280x1024 and it is sometimes difficult to catch the sliders of darktable tools, I fear that it will be almost impossible to catch them with a higher resolution. Once the devellopers will separate the display of the photos from the tools to manipulate them (like in gimp), I would like to have the tools on a screen with a reasonable resolution and the photos on another screen with a higher resolution. But I am wondering if this possible because, in that case, I need to be able to move the mouse from a screen to another.... > > You don't mention what kind of panels you have or want, but as I'm sure > you know a good panel type is important for colour accuracy. > > Another detail you don't mention is which driver you're using: the > vendor-supplied nvidia driver or nouveau.
