I think 27" and 4k is a nice sweet point for a desktop screen.

I'm still waiting for one who doesn't have a fan in it.

Which o e do you have?

Not previous poster, but I have a Samsung LS28AG700NNXZA

Some monitors have fans? That's news to me, I've never had a monitor that did. Didn't know they were common enough to make it an explicit deal breaker.

I have a 2k 27" and wanted to upgrade to 4k for a while but only with above 100hz and IPS.

The first displays were just super expensive and the second generation consumer gamer displays have fans in it.

I also was surprised that a display can have a fan but was a no go for me as displays normally live very long.

I will have a look at yours and the LG one :-)

LG 27GN950

No fan, includes a wall backlight. Surprisingly cheap for a G-Sync 4k @ 144Hz - $699 not on sale.
