I can has real estate...

Dell have some serious supply chain issues going on, so I got it from OcUK.

First inpressions - I'm not sure if it's actually too big (I feared that might happen). I work quite close to monitors and while I have it far enough away that I can view the whole screen, I'm finding I have to move a lot to see detail around the edges. Having said that, I probably did that to some extent with the old monitor, but will certainly have to get used to not running windows maximised as it causes a lot of scanning (same problem you might get from watching too much tennis).

Hmmm.

i was the same when i got my 24", i felt i was always scanning side to side, but you soon get used to it

at least the relatively big pixel pitch so you can sit a little further away and still read the text, but like you say, running with smaller windows is def a wise move. i found splitting the screen down the middle using NVIDIA's software was good too for side by side working
