If you are working with text a monitor with high pixel density is important. 4K 27” is good for Windows, 5K 27” is great for Macs. I think companies should provide a monitor of this calibre and a laptop powerful enough to easily drive them to technical workers. I would spend my own money on the hardware if I could use it for work. It’s like if a company said they will give you a $5000 pay raise, but you have to use a 2006 flip phone from now on. I think a lot of people would refuse the raise.

And 6K 31.5" is good for Linus / Linux [1] :-) More specifically the ASUS ProArt PA32QCV 31.5" [2].

I'm seriously considering just ordering two of these and taking them into the office. My only fear is that someone else will feel slighted thinking I got special monitors, even though I bought them myself.

Yeah, without debating the price, in itself, the now-discontinued ProDisplay XDR, I love, at 6K 32", though only 60Hz. Ironically, I ended up with this display because Apple messed with DSC to make it work, and crippled my Asus 27" 4K HDR 144Hz screens.
I thought after years of dual displays I'd be (and I am) happy with a single display again, but when this thing goes, it is probably hard to pass up dual 27" 5K 120Hz displays...
