I was able to tell which Lincoln was wider, of course just because I was aware that one of them was. Otherwise, out of comparison, I can only notice the stretching seeing some photos of my own or my girlfriend's face that are well known to me. Anyway, for testing I created a 1500:1500 pixel...
Otherwise my first impressions on the device as a fresh owner (coming from several IPS's):
Pros:
- bigger than it seemed on the user photos
- deep blacks, great overall contrast when watching from about 1m, any IPS is a joke in this regard
- no dead/hot pixels so far
Cons:
- seeing...
It seems every piece is pretty unique colorwise. I started the calibration with the same manual settings that tftcentral used, but they were so off on my device, that my calibration was not able to compensate them (with different initial settings the calibration succeeded - I used X-rite i1)...
I would shout with my mother/sister when they're doing this without noticing any extraordinary :D
I pretty much doubt that content makers take this non-square issue into consideration. :)
Anyway, since I haven't heard about this stupid problem before I don't know either if all the tv's...
Dead pixels would bother me much less. Moreover I do expect some dead ones among so many millions like this monitor has.
Otherwise I agree, I'm not sure I would tell what the problem was with the aspect ratio, but I still believe I would notice that something was wrong with the photographed...
(Micael has linked again the picture I was talking about - thanks Micael)
I review and cut high-res photos a lot, and just don't want to see things being stretched like this. Not my friends, not any other people or subject. Especially not on a state of the art monitor in 2015. That's it.
Sorry...
Um... what would you like me to cite? Headlines about dying people due to non-square pixels? In this regard the issue isn't so fatal indeed, apologies.
I used the measurement units just as they were provided by Philips and recycled by all the websites I checked so far.
Unfortunately I read...
Having non-suare pixels is a fatal issue, even if no one has complained about it. But it can give us some hope that Philips' specs cannot be precise with the given dimensions: if the 878.11mm x 485.35mm sides are correctly specified, the stated 100.5cm diagonal size must be wrong. My calculation...
Hi all, can some of you please tell how long the cables are and if their connectors are angled? (namely the displayport, the audio and the USB3) I need at least 5ft long cables, and if the ones in the package are not long enough I have to order replacements from ebay before my display arrives...
