Oh, and while we're talking dev setups.... may I inquire as to the variety of monitor you use?

I've got 2 2k (1x 30" 2560x1600 & 1x 27" 2560x1440) monitors and one 1k (1080x1920) monitor that I'm pondering replacing with a 4k curved Samsung TV. Re: the isolation and the rest of the planet literally disappearing.... yep, exactly. That is EXACTLY what happens to me.
