      I mean, even in the bottom end most PC monitors are more than 24". Hell, my $200 el cheapo Sceptre ultrawide can still fit a 26" widescreen image. 24" for a monitor is pretty pathetic regardless of display quality, especially for a machine nearing the $2k mark (which takes no small quantity of the piss).

    There are a few aspects of the design[language] of the 24-inch iMac that are perfect for its targeted audience. It comes in colors to match your decor, and the white bezel won't clash with the white wall you are facing while you use it. The chin allows each family member to adjust the angle of the display without leaving fingerprints on the screen. It has just enough power for homework and other household uses, and its price[point] is just right. A very good design!

      You should probably retrain your voice model, it’s not a smart speaker it should only activate for your voice not anyone in the room. 😅-

    Touch ID on the back of the iPhone needs to be a thing. I had the Pixel 2 with the sensor on the back and it was perfect for one handed use. I could pull it out of my pocket and unlock it as I was bringing it up to look at.

    My main monitor is 27", previously upgraded from 24". Honestly I think these two sizes are the best in size to desk space utilization. Going up to 32" and above just seems excessive for a literal desktop display.

      @Filip Jovanovic yes, ultrawides commonly are 21:9 (mostly 1440px in height). I don't like 4K 28" for productivity since in a 2x2 grid 4x14" 1080p monitors are just too small for me to work with and in a 2x1 the windows are very narrow. with ultrawide I really like that I can have two ~square windows (1720x1440) besides each other or 3 narrow ones.
      I can also recommend curved ultrawide, I don't have too move my head around much.

    • @zacburkhardt5464

      I agreed with this, until I went with a 34 inch ultra wide.
      Going back to literally anything else is difficult. Being in school, I couldn’t tell you the last time I didn’t have 2 applications running and being able to have word, and a browser open, or an IDE and a browser open is amazing.
