are 4k monitors a meme?
what's the best monitor for someone who will primarily use it for coding?
i have shit eyes and so i have a difficult time seeing small text and want to reduce eye strain
am using a 2015 mbp so would only be able to drive a 4k at 30 hz refresh rate
any advice on what to get would be appreciated. i've never shopped for a monitor before.

I have that monitor in your picture.
It's decent.
But I mainly use it for watching 4k movies and shit, not for text.

4K for gaming is amazing but too costly in terms of Hardware if you want the Frames.
Using one for productivity is bliss.

will a 30 hz refresh rate cause eye strain or be annoying?

Depends how sensitive you are.
If you're used to comparing framerates, like you have a 144hz monitor and a 60hz monitor, then yes, moving to 30hz will be pretty noticeable.
But if you're used to just 60hz, 30hz isn't TOO bad, just a bit less smooth when moving around the mouse on-screen.

No. Most hdmi ports on your tv are only 30hz, usually 1 of them would be 60hz or more so for regular work, movies, ect it's perfectly fine. Movies and shows are mostly filmed in 24 fps. For gaming, yes annoying as fuck unless you're used to consoles.
