I really like this move to wider and wider screens as our eyes naturally see more on the horizontal plane than vertical. I really want bigger screens though if we're moving toward more and more pixels. Energy efficiency would be the next most important thing.

32" 2560 x 1440 sounds like a good idea. 😀

That's what I was thinking. I don't see why most monitor manufacturers stick to the same sized panels. TV sizes vary HUGELY with the same resolutions so I never understood why monitors didn't have a little play with the same thing...

I love my Dell U2711 IPS, but I sure wouldn't mind if it had 32 instead of 27"... I'd lose the high pixel density but some more AA would compensate for that, I'm also curious about the response time on this. 2560x1440 is a sweetspot resolution for years to come imo.

Let say the resolution of the TV is essentially driven by the content ( Movies, tv channel ) available. then ofc, you will not stand at 20-30cm of a 50" panel..., then the electronics of a TV is different .. The 32" is just a wide 16/9-30".. so it should not look too bad vs a 30" 16/10 2560x1600. The thing i see the most interesting there is maybe the thin bezel thoses monitors have.. could be really good for a 3 monitors setup.

Except that tvs apply overscan, monitors do not, so using a tv as monitor will always cost you detail because either you miss a few pixel on all edges or you end up with non-native resolution like 18xx by 10xx because of the overscan. For tvs people want screen estate, graphics and gaming call for more detail... Im interest in 32 or even 30" with higher than FHD reso. But not samsung and not for +500$...

Qnix has recently come out with a 32" WQHD display as well. I think it uses the same panel as the Sammy. http://www.accessorieswhole.com/qnix-qx323qhd-super-ultra-pivot-32-2560x1440-qhd-ah-va-led-32-inch-monitor.html

looks interesting i'm on a 29" LG now since september last year but that 32" has a nice price,do think i need a gpu change for that thing 🤓

I was gonna say, I bet my x-star is almost exactly the same thing at half the price :banana:

At 32" I'm sure pixel pitch would be on some folks minds, but its not bad, close to what a 24" 1920x1200 displays pp would be at: 24" 1920x1200 = .270mm 27" 2560x1440 = .231mm 32" 2560x1440 = .276mm Still I would rather have seen this monitor at a 29 or 30" size.

oooooo well this may be the one finally. 32" at 2560x1440? Yes please.

You could get a 1600p Qnix, probably for less. I don't know if they overclock though.

where are the gsync monitors?!

They don't really. And I'd rather go with a [somewhat, imo] reputable brand over a Korean special.

Some should be released by year's end, but really gsync, I don't think, will be around for long.. adoption seems lukewarm at best. Maybe that will change though..

They will be the Rog i think ( well if Asus dont delay it again ) ... For other, well.. i think every monitors brand ( include Asus ), are mostly waiting free-sync .. all they need is wait the scalers manufacturers include DP1.2a specifictions.. and then include this scalers ( who will not cost them more of a DP 1.2 ones ) If i was in Benq, Asus, Dell, AOC etc.. i think i will easely have done my calculation for this: Free-sync or i just need to say integrate DP 1.2a capable scalers . ( dont cost me anything more of a standard scaler that i need anyway allready buy ), G-sync ( cost me a FPGA card that i buy to Nvidia, + the licence + i need to do the research and developement for integrate it for replace the scalers, conduct myself the test etc ) .... Well i think the reason why we dont see the market full of g-sync monitor is now easy to understand. I think peoples have badly interpret the free-sync name, it was not "free" for the consumers, but "free" for the manufacturers for integrate it in their monitors . ( who still can comply to VESA standard too ) ... Well if i was a monitor manufacturer, i think the choice will be really easy... I try to imagine the case where Asus try to sold a monitor with DP1.2a specifications with g-sync in addition.. lol.. they will tell to the masses that it is compatible g-sync.. you need the Rog Nvidia 880x for it ? or that it is just compatible with DP 1.2a ( free-sync enabled on AMD gpu ) + G-sync ? ... will G-sync should not just use the DP1.2a standard then for work ? removing the need of a FPGA who replace the scaler of the monitor (( and it seems do the same thing as this standard DP 1.2a adaptative-sync )

They're Samsung panels dude, lol.

I just returned this panel, s27d850. I thought I found a great bargain for an amazing monitor but I was wrong. This is more of a TV than a monitor. The picture quality is very good, but the contrast ratio wasn't good enough and text didn't display very well/smooth, even with all the cleartype adjustments. I had an Asus PB278q before this and the picture quality was superior.. Someone else posted exactly opposite that's why I tried this. The PB278 contrast and color accuracy is way better, but my version had a lot of backlight bleed so I returned it and got the Samsung. Also this was supposed to be flicker free which I thought would ease eye strain.. however I don't know what it is about it, maybe the PLS technology, but it gave me a headache within a few minutes of using it. I also let someone else try it and they also felt eye strain using it. I'd say best use would be games and watching TV.. but if you're reading a lot probably not. Some people may say it takes time to get used to the smaller text and higher resolution. I have a 1920x1080 14" IPS laptop screen that I use all the time, and I'm used to tiny text. There's just something about the quality of the way the SD850 rendered text that made my eyes strain. The Dell U2713HM seemed to be the best of every one I saw so far, but they also have backlight bleed problems so I'm not sure if I want to try one. If anyone had recommendations it would be appreciated. It would be nice if manufacturers would start making IPS screens in the 20" range with the pixel pitch of my laptop screen (0.11 mm).

They're Samsung panels dude, lol.

This is true actually.. Samsung and LG panels that Qnix uses. I was "uninformed" when I made that post, and ended up with a qnix anyway 🙂
