Hi, I need a monitor mainly for long hours programming.

My main concern is least eye fatigue and easy to read display.
Size wise I think 22-24inch would be good.

Would it be wise to use a TV as monitor?

Budget is around 10K but can stretch a little in case I find a worthy option.

Thanks,
Ank

Isn't a long monitor better than a wide one for programming?

in my code..there are are long lines of code sideways. Can u see long monitors to buy? I don't think so. now a days, am using dual monitor setup in my office, that's even better, very convenient

For eye fatigue, you should use f.lux and set your monitor's glare to a warmer temperature. This will reduce stress on your eyes, especially in low light conditions.

Check it: f.lux: software to make your life better

BTW, using multiple monitors is recomended over a single large monitor. total resolution matters more the the size.
