    We bought a couple of 4K monitors at work for testing. I wasn't impressed enough to buy one. Multiple displays never did it for me either. Old
    habits...

    One does not need to actually buy and test a 4K monitor to know
    that it is substandard for PC purposes.

    Except if one is a total idiot -- which you are.

    I can't believe some one could write something like above!
    My LG 27" 4k HDR monitor, which I buy in 2019 is the best monitor I have
    ever! And it works perfectly under Kubutnu 20.04! I like it very much
    and I take care of it! Eg. I clear it with foam every Friday!

    I contribute to their Patreon monthly...it's only fair.

    I love my 4K 42" monitor -- gives me a "whoa!" feeling when I
    jump into my space game after an absence. (Maybe I should
    take Bonine before gaming... j/k)

    So...why _would_ you swap out a 4K monitor for an HD?
