Wrong. I dislike glossy for monitors it's increased eye strain etc.

Dell just have (or had I'm not sure if they fixed their quality) shitty matte

>found the person who's only used 2 monitors in his life and doesn't know shit
>>
>>57043479
They don't even use matte anymore and haven't since like 2011 or 2012. They use a semi-matte coating that is a lot less grainy.
>>
>>57043479
all matte LED monitors use anti glare coating, dell ultrasharps use light AG coating so the grainy should be low compared to other montiors
>>
>>57043479
All AG coating is shit. Glossy is preferred for color sensitive work.
>>
>>57043513
know a monitor that is glossy but is comparable to the ultrasharps?
>>
>>57043479
Yeah Dell stopped using the heavy H3 AG coating awhile ago. Now it's much less obnoxious.

I'm still using a U3011. I mostly don't notice it anymore since it's fantastic in every other regard.

No, it's not.

At this DPI you are entering into diminishing returns the more you go. It's super beneficial if you read a lot of text, but 1080 is a fine standard otherwise.

I do support the push towards higher resolutions though so prices come down.

I have a U2415 for that sweet aspect ratio. I love this thing, only thing that bites is if you have a game console, since it doesn't add black bars to 16:9 input. Well worth the price. Get a higher resolution if you have the dosh. The colors are top tier.

I have a 3x U2414H setup. I'm thinking of replacing the center with the bigger U2715H. Does this actually workout in scaling? Also the U2414H has an AH-IPS panel while the U2715H has an IPS panel, is this noticeable side by side?
>>

>Does this actually workout in scaling
uhh no? Not even close.

24" 1920x1080 is 91ppi,
27" 2560x1440 is 108ppi

They wont match up and you will have different pixel density.

Why?

>>57047630
Our screen making machine has like a bowl on top of it, which you fill with the liquid crystals similar to a coffee machine. This bowl is filled almost to the brim when making the 1920x1920 ones and we have to close the lid to start production. So to get more pixels out at the bottom, we can maybe really fill that bowl up, but as I said, it doesn't have much more room

>>
>>57047763
No the bowl seems to be glued on or something. I'm trying to get it off right now, won't buldge.
An attachment isn't possible either because the lid must be closed.
>>
>>57047746
do you understand what adaptive framerate is?

If so, the framerate range for that monitor is only 48-60hz, meaning it can't go above 60hz, but it can go below, so if your game gets 50-60fps constantly, this monitor would vary it's frequency to match your framerate so as not to have any tearing.

If that sounds good to you, its a fine monitor.
But most people want freesync/g-sync so they can go over 60hz, not so they can stay at 60hz.
>>
>>57047793
cant use a different lid?
>>
>>57047793

Or put on another lid and trick the machine that the original lid is closed.

>>
>>57047870
>>57047881
I think there are wires running through that lid, there's a display on the front of it and I think these wires somehow tell the machine that the lid is closed.

There are bigger, but 27-30" is good for 2560x1440 and 2560x1600. Unfortunately no one is really doing 4k monitors in the right size.
>>

Phillips has a 40" and 43" monitor
Seki has a 40" monitor (same panel as the Phillips)

>>57048931
please explain why that is then? 27-30 imo is the perfect size to have lots of realestate but not have such a big screen that you get lost in it
>>
>>57048978
I don't agree with >>57048931. I don't believe in a too high PPI (as long as you have the HW to run it)

But the nice thing about 4k is that you can start to use a completely new size of monitors and not have to deal with disgusting jaggies and screen-door effects.
>>
>>57049232
>I don't believe in a too high PPI
Well it exists.
>>
>>57049358
How?
>>
>>57049379
Its a subjective matter so its different for everyone. But you should try a blind test of 1440 and 4k on a 27" monitor and at a fix distance and see if you can really see a difference. Though too high PPI does exist for example if you have a 4k res on a 10" monitor it wouldn't look different from a 1440p res 10" monitor
>>
>>57043216
>not U2715H
it's a nice middle ground between yours and a 4k monitor.
>>
>>57050008
>and see if you can really see a difference
You can't
a 27" 4k and a 27" 1440p will have almost identical effective resolution because you need to scale to 150% on the 4k monitor in order to not have to use a magnifying glass to read text.

150% scaling on 2160p gives you ~1440p effective resolution.

4k on smaller monitors such as 24" require 200% scaling which gives an effective resolution of only 1080p. But the advantage is the higher pixel density makes for a smoother image. At the expense of useable resolution however.


So basically a 27" 4k should look just like a 27" 1440p monitor, but the 4k will be smoother because of the extra pixel density.
>>
>>57049379
If you can't resolve pixels at a normal viewing distance at a certain DPI, everything more dense is useless. It's not subjective, but it is based on your particular visual acuity.
>>
>>57043838
A tn panel with 144hz and 1ms response time

>>57050138
>You can't
That's completely wrong in terms of image quality, the difference is easily and clearly visible with any sort of content that is computer-generated at native 4K (proper font rendering and video games for example). It's not that big of a deal for video since most of it is inherently "soft" anyway and the extra sharpness of 4K isn't readily apparent. Things like not being bitrate starved and a good encode are much more important.

If you had a look at something like a game running at the same settings on 4K and 1440p 27" monitors the difference would be very, very easy to spot. It depends on the viewing distance too of course, if you're too far away obviously it won't be visible. If you're sitting at your typical computer desk however it's easy to see.
>>
>>57050210
>gaming

Oh i'm sorry I thought this was /g/, I'm talking about resolution for desktop use.

In terms of desktop use for programming or other work, the effective resolution with text scaling of a 4k 27" is roughly 1440p, so a 1440p 27" panel and 27" 4k panel will be roughly identical work space for productivity (programming is my use case)
>>
>>57050233
With 150% scaling it won't be roughly identical, it will be literally identical if everything is scaled properly (good luck). Still, I use mine at 125% and for my eyes and viewing distance it's perfectly comfortable and readable. The difference in font rendering is easily apparent too, from a quality point of view.

Fonts rendered for screens that hover around 96DPI really are very fucking ugly, fuzzy shit compared to what you can get on a high-DPI 4K panel with almost no effort at all.
>>
Is the IPS glow a meme or is it that badly visible?

Under what conditions is it visible?
>>
>>57050337
If you like to sit in the dark with your monitor you'll hate yourself for getting an IPS.

Otherwise its generally not a huge deal except on pure black images where you'll potentially notice some bright spots near the corners depending on your viewing angle and how much light is in the room, etc.

Overall for anyone who has good lighting and uses it, you'll be fine with IPS.

I have had a U2415 for about a year now and just bought a U2414H as my second vertical monitor.

Absolutely sexy monitors with great picture quality. I don't game so an IPS is perfect for me. But even when I do occasionally play something, 6ms response time isn't bad considering most TV's are in the high double digits.

color accuracy, not distorting colors when viewed from an angle, etc.

TN is for fast response time and cheap $, but far less color accurate, and the colors shift drastically when viewed from anything but straight on.
>>
>>57050337
It's clearly visible.

You'll see it in low ambient light conditions when the monitor is displaying a dark image, especially in the corners or on the edges. It sucks that it's a thing, but what the fuck can you do? TN is fucking horrible in terms of image quality after you've seen IPS and there really isn't much else that's widely available for decent prices.

>>
>>57046066

It's awesome. I had to return mine because it had massive levels of black light bleed. Beautiful monitor. The only thing that sucks is how much you have to scale the UI. Might be better to just go 1440p
>>
>>57050619
the up22516d are very nice, be aware that they're wide gamut, though. so make sure you know how to color manage under whatever os you're using or everything looks like ridiculous candy colors
if you're not into color critical work and don't have a x-rite and the need for hardware calibration to monitor LUT and things like PIP and integrated KVM switch then you're better off with >>57050693 and avoiding the adobe rgb/srgb headache

The EA series are the "cheap" NEC's, so it wont be AMAZING, but it will be better than pretty much any run of the mill dell, acer, asus, etc monitor.

The PA series from NEC are the performance monitors which would provide a lot more in terms of factory calibration settings and more enhanced OSD options, however the only PA series 4k panel is the PA322UHD, which costs about $3k.

NEC is past its glory days as a panel manufacturer. This can be generalized for most Japanese electronics products.

From the pricepoint perspective NEC is not even trying to compete with the market. I own an EA model with a MSRP of 400USD and while it's a decent monitor I could get a better Ultrasharp (in my opinion) for that price point.

I have the U2414H, two of them.

I love them! However, since I started getting into gaming a lot more in the last year, I've wished I had 144hz monitor, otherwise, I love em.
>>
>>57043216
Eizo probably makes the best.
>>
>>57043624
Same here.
Only problem I have with it is that it takes a while for the GUI to open up of I wanna change input source.
It's even worse if I just shut down one of the sources since it's like it REALLY want to show me that the current source is no longer active.

This might just be Windows 7, but when display goes in sleep mode the resolution is lowered and messes up my icon position when I start the monitor again.
Another thing is the 22ms delay which makes it effectively an 40Hz monitor if you really account the input lag.

But for movies and pictures it's really nice.

4k won't make any significant difference until you get upwards to 40". Just go 1440 if you want to stay at that size.

A 1440p 30" monitor has about 97PPI

I doubt it. Or at least if you mean 24-30" for below $500.

Also, have they fixed the issues with dead pixels on OLED panels?

Running 2 of those right now. If you don't care about more than 1080p60hz, breddy fucking gud. Helps that I got them on a sale for little more than 200€ each

that's not the issue with oled panels, friendo
they just all dim after a year or two. it's like throwing money down the toilet

Man all I wanted is a 40" monitor with 3k resolution.

All of them costs a fortune
>>
>>57058031
>3k
Do you mean 4k, or QHD?

I mean, 40" 4k PC monitors are pretty expensive. But if you don't care much about input delays/image quality you can get a 40" 4k TV for less than 400.

Yeah, I've thought about going bigger. But I can't find shit between 32 and 40. And I suspect 40 will be too big. At least at 16:9.

Too large as in not a high enough ppi, or too much screen space? Wall mount it, and put it at the back of the desk. Put the bottom of the screen level with or barely above the desk itself. If you give yourself a good 2-3ft it's pretty nice, to be honest. Can view images and videos comfortably, and if you run split windows, each window is large enough that you might as well be using multiple vertical monitors.
>>
>>57058693
That might work out. Can you recommend any good ~40" monitors?
>>
>>57058934
There are two and they use the same panel

Phillips makes one and Seki makes the other.

Phillips also has a 43" 4k monitor.

Best monitor I could get in the 150€ price range?

Should I just go to the 144hz for a future GPU upgrade?

Are monitors going to improve enough in 1-2 years to being retarded to go with it?


I pretty much only use it for movies/2D games but I'm using a 1650x1050 8 years old dell monitor and I feel like I need something new already

I have a 7870 as gpu so its not like I can get 144 fps on anything otsude vanilla WoW or LoL
>>
>>57058934
>>57059007
I currently use the seiki se39uy or whatever, can't remember the model number. It's actually a TV, and it's only 4k 30hz which was disappointing. But I use it as a 110hz 1080 screen anyways. 120hz gets random blank screens with my rx 470 for some reason. My 7950 did it at first, and I have no idea how I resolved the issue before. They have 40" 4k 60hz monitors now that look really decent. Picture quality on mine with 4k is great, full rgb 4:4:4 support, nice colors. I can only imagine the pro series (their actual monitors) are that much better.

Oh, and it occasionally had some ghosting /smearing issues at 120hz which was remedied with changing my custom resolution settings to bring it down to 110hz. Notable improvement in input lag that I wasn't even aware I was experiencing.

I do not live in the US, so I do not have access to all monitors.
The only I can find are the Dell P4317Q and Phillips BDM4350UC (both 43").
Both seems to be okay, but I'm a bit sceptical to both since there are so few monitors of that size and neither are ridiculously expensive (neither are above 10000SEK, or ~$1100. For reference the 32" UltraSharp UP3216Q goes for 11000SEK)
>>
Ok so /g/

U2515H Monitor, IPS Panel, 2560x1440, 8ms, 350cd/m2, DP/HDMI, Black/Silver o

or

24" Dell UltraSharp InfinityEdge U2417H, IPS Panel, 1920x1080, 6ms, 1000:1, 250cd/m2, mDP/DP/HDMI, USB Hub, Audio, Black

They are £50 difference.

i'm coming from a 720p monitor

I have two of the 1440p dells, I upgraded from two 1080p and couldn't be happier.

1440p would be even better coming from 720p
>>
>>57059800
Weird. Tech in Sweden is always always more expensive than in the US. Like, I paid the equivalent of $930 for my GTX1080. The same GPU costs $700 on newegg.

Tell me again why viewing angle is a issue if you're using a single monitor
>>
>>57061012
If you sit exactly in front of a 24" TN monitor at ~50cm distance, you'll notice slight changes in colour towards the edges of the display.
This is more noticeable the larger the monitor is. And that is if you sit exactly in front of the monitor (both vertically as horizontally). If you sit only slightly on the side of the monitor (or look down on it) there will be a larger change of colour.
IIRC a TN display is only colour accurate at a 30 degree viewing angle, compared to IPS-screens who can go near 180 degrees without significant changes in colour (blacks go to shit, though).
>>
We still have to wait 5 years until we get the next perfect monitor.
We already got the best 1080p monitor.
In 5 years 4K will be the next standard (thought 8K would make more sense desu).
So all we can do for now is to buy shitty overpriced 4K and some actually good enought 1440p but overpriced.
>>

What models do either company produce with a glossy coating?

I don't know of any, and if they do exist I don't believe they are sold as hyper-color accurate.

There is no glossy coating. Matte is a coating.

why cant they make a bezel-less monitor
>>
>>57063089
What exactly do you mean by bezel-less? 100% bezel-less is impossible with current technology. Sorry.

You have to hold the panel in place, that requires a frame.
>>
>>57063208
i mean no bezel.

and i dont remember the screen falling out when i watched a guy do that thing where he removed the layer on the screen and put it in a pair of glasses so you could only see with the glasses on.

doesn't it have crazy high ms or something?

>What the fuck are they made from
Eizo and NEC both use Samsung panels for most if not all of their models. Some of them are made by specification for those companies only, others are "generic" panels found in other monitor brands. The difference in price is from:
1. Electronics. Both Eizo and NEC use some high-end driver circuits: high-bit, writeable LUTs, brightness/chromacity fluctuation equalizers, overdrive circuits etc.
2. Everything except the actual panels is designed, manufactured and assembled in Japan, which is obviously way more expensive than a Chinese sweatshop.
3. All monitors are individually calibrated in the factory.
4. NEC gives 3 and Eizo 5 year warranty for even their lowest-tier displays.
