    In this video, we are going to take a look at the BenQ RD280UA. The 28" 4k+ rock solid monitor from BenQ. This monitor has a 3:2 aspect ratio making it amazing for programming day-to-day. Not to mention the colors, the crisp text, easy control over dark/light mode, and everything else. Let's see if this is as good as it shapes up to be.

    MST isn't a proprietary BenQ method of daisy-chaining displays, it is just the Multi-Stream Transport in the DisplayPort spec.

    If the argument that the taller 3:2 ratio is better I'd like to offer at a similar price point the 28MQ7xx series by LG in a 16:18. I've used one at a friend's office and if I could justify replacing my setup I would be very tempted.

    Matte screen is not as good as mine. Glossy screens reflect very sharply at particular angles. Matte screens scatter light in every direction, which means glare is less noticeable, but it glares at any angle. Therefore, I prefer a glossy screen as I can set the light source out of the reflection angle and have much better contrast.

      You're going to probably have to learn multiple languages at some point anyway so I'd say start with whichever one you find the most fun and keeps you motivated to continue learning! That being said, C++ will probably give you a better idea of manually doing the memory management that rust is doing behind the scenes for you.
