In your link for gear, you have a mention of the 27" 4K Dell monitor but the link then goes to Amazon showing a 1440p monitor - what is it that you use at work? very interested to know as I am sorting out my development environment/gear. Great videos and very well put together nice a clear with some good advice - Thank you!

@@brianruizy Awesome, I ordered a 34" ultra-wide, 38" ultra wide and 2 27" 1440p IPS black monitors. delivery tomorrow and checking out which combination is best for development (sending back the rest). Thanks for the reply on this, hard to tell from the office/monitor video section. Is the company you work for looking for new front-end devs? if so would be great to get in touch with the company HR and/or lead dev. Enjoy your day!

[@brianruizy]

@quinton.sheppard not a bad idea to test between ultrawide or dual 27 inch. Not at the moment, in the future I believe so

Me encanta el Iphone 14 pro max que tienes pero nose si renta comprarse el Iphone 15 quizas por los cambios que ofrece.

[@brianruizy]

No actualize mi 14, voy a esperar para 16 tal vez. Pero lo que sí me llama la atención del 15 pro es su nueva cámara. Que puede grabar con métodos mas profesionales como Log. Obvio el 15 es mejor en varios aspectos, pero tal vez si no necesitas la cámara más avanzada vale ir con el 14
