60hz, and 27" monitors
noisyturtle:
60hrz will still exist for ****ty bulk office monitors
They will probably stay at 1080p till the 2030s as well
Findecanor:
What I mean is that in offices, it is more important to use available power and bandwidth for more screen real-estate than for high refresh rates.
At my last workplace, we all had dual 2560×1440p screens connected to laptops over single USB-C, and I mean everyone... Well, except for that guy who had a single 5120×1440 super ultra-wide.
And that USB-C was also used for network, keyboard, mouse and headset. Many non-Thinkpads would have required it for power as well.
If we had used Macs, it would have been worse, because those practically require "retina"-level PPI as well.

Another thing, 27 Inch monitors, STOP, WHY, JUST STOP IT.
There is no reason to go under 32. Even 43 is OK at 2 feet.
55 at 3 feet
65 at 4 feet
77 at 5 feet
85 at 7 feet
98 at 8 feet

Hard disagree.
I like 25-26in for my desk size.
You probably like them gigantic 7in phones too.
