Agreed!

This too, yes.
On my work machine I have 2 widescreens. After some experimentation, I
have one horizontal and one vertical. This means I can have a
full-page view _and_ a 2-page view at once.
I don't use 2-page views much. On a 1080P or thereabouts widescreen,
with 2 pages showing, the text is uncomfortably small for me to read
with myopic 50-year-old eyes. An HD or 4K screen would make it sharper
but no bigger and size is the problem.
And I have tried huge screens and I prefer 2 smaller ones. I get
neck-ache from moving my head so much with 30" screens, let alone 2 of
them!
