Or get a pair of good computer-glasses 
I think the smaller letters don't weigh up against the increased screen real-estate, especially when you have to deal with very long lines of code.
Besides you can increase the Windows font size, if you have a good graphics card that is ...

Hi, Rick ... sure you can increase the editor display font-size, but try staying at 3840/2160 ... even with Win scaling at max ... and see how crummy the VS UI elements look.
And, be prepared to have to modify your VS projects, adding a manifest file, tweaking the 'config file, etc. ... even then you lose the WYSIYWYG between design-time and run-time appearance.

I did not try a resolution that high yet, only about 2560x1440. But a colleague of mine uses an Ultra-HD monitor and I heard no complaints from him, I will ask him about his experiences.
Strange that VS can't cope, what was the point of re-writing the interface in WPF then I wonder.
Or are you using an older version of VS ?

Thanks, Rick, I am using VS 2017.
And, not better off in spite of: [^], [^]
cheers, Bill

Hi Bill,
When you get into your seventies, like I am, your poor eyes need help! I had my eye doctor test my eyes and make me a special pair of "computer glasses". They knew exactly what I meant by "computer glasses". They did a great job. I have a high dpi 23 inch monitor and the setup (with the glasses) using VS 2017, works really well for me.
Consider getting "computer glasses"? 
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Just had a look at my colleague's screen with UltraHD resolution, and VS2017 looked fine.
So I think your problems are more related to your grahics card.

In my laptop it works well... 1920x1080 in 14"...
I don't know if that is considered high DPI or not...
But thank you for your hint!

I use Samsung (my 2770) for over 6 years and like them, because of its quality und durability. The LED technology is durable and also saves energy.
Remember: You will look at the monitor for some years and the monitor is the interface between your precious eyes and the computer and internet. So only the best is good enough to enjoy your eyes, help you solve your work and gaming and serves them well for having healthy eyes for decades to come.

Thank you for your hint KarstenK.
Yes, I've been using those 24" monitors for a long time now and I do think that they are the reason I'm wearing glasses now.
So I would like to ensure I'll get the best for my health / work.
I'm doubting on those Lenovo t22i and t23i as they look nice and offer 1920x1080 in 21,5 and 23 inches respectively.
Having a price difference of 30€ (this is not important) I'm doubting on getting the 21,5" or the 23".
Thank you for your post!

I have a Dell 24" at 1920x1080. I have a large oak office desk, so I use a clamp on articulating arm to avoid the stand clutter. Works okay, but keep in mind that the articulating arm can only handle so much weight when extended.
That 25" monitor has my attention (posted below)

According to El Reg Google and its terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week in full • The Register the interwebs had a PC meltdown last week and I heard nothing about it here on CP. Or did I miss something here as well.
I was tempted to reply to a comment about the various social network attracting the rabid from both side to mention he missed out on the soapbox but thought better of introducing CP to El Reg

I just saw somewhere that Julien Assange just offered the sacked google engineer a job. That should do wonders for his credibility.

Soapbox material - getting close I'm sure, but actually Julian Assange is very credible even if you don't care for him or his work. It takes 6 months to a year or more to verify everything they publish. Just saying. So if the engineer would work with Julian, then his credibility is not in question, at least for me. Treasonous perhaps.

How true. Another thing is Assange and his website have never been wrong!

I think "meltdown" is a bit of a strong term for it: Someone expressed an unpopular opinion and was fired for it.
The only way this becomes noteworthy is if he wins the anti-discrimination lawsuit, but history holds that he won't.

Website makes AJAX calls (HTTPS posts) to the server that sends websocket commands to the target client at a specific site which then uses RabbitMQ to update the BeagleBones.
Between my code library (open source), various open source libraries like RabbitMQ, jQuery, Newtonsoft.Json, and websocket-client, and a good application-specific architecture, the communication chain executes around 50 lines of application-specific code from Javascript -> C# (server) -> C# (client) -> Python (BeagleBone).
Amazing.

Have pity on a poor desktop developer who knows next to nothing about web development.
Is 50 lines of code amazing because it's very little, or very much?
