I can't praise the Dell P2415Q highly enough.

(https://amzn.to/2N7UtrC)

It's a 24" 4K monitor, so the ppi is really high.

I have one in portrait mode running at 1080 x 1920, which makes for super-sharp text that's large enough for me to read comfortably, and another in landscape mode at 2560 x 1440 for documentation, live-updating UI when I'm developing UIs, etc.

It's just an all-around fantastic monitor for your eyes.

I wish they'd update these. I ended up getting 27" 4K monitors even though I wanted 24" because I didn't want to buy 3-4 year old models.

That's a valid concern, although for programming purposes I don't think there's anything of any importance missing from these slightly older models. I just bought mine about three months ago, after much research; I couldn't determine any reason why a newer model would be better.
