Were you not bothered by going from 4K to 2K?That was my main display up until I got my 32" 4K last year (which I just replaced with 2 27" 165Hz 2K displays yet again)..
That thing was awesome scaled, but whoever decided 4K on a 28" screen was a good idea needs to get canned haha. First time I set that thing up, I couldn't even see the mouse cursor on the screen.
my windows tech neighbor claimed 2K and 4k are quite similarWere you not bothered by going from 4K to 2K?
MacOS always uses the available pixels. The user interface may be zoomed ("scaled"), but that is just mapping the user interface to the available pixels, which for a 4K screen is 2160 lines.I was never bothered going from 4K to 2K because I never ran any of those screens at 4K.

Thanks! Mouse is just out of the way usually, because I only use it for large file and/or photo-video editing. I tried using both simultaneously, but could not get used to it. I'm a trackpad person.WOW - I really like the clean and minimalist look. Nice Job!
Do have a couple of questions, though:
Why the mouse placement? Doesn't look convenient for either hand. Or, do you just move it to the shelf with the trackpad when you use it?
Why is the center shelf double thickness? It has almost no weight on it.
Congratulations again on your setup. I like the light shielding on the display and the great job you have done with cable routing.
