Hi,
I am a programmer who saw during a recent trip the perfect monitor but I cannot afford it: Dell U3218K (8k and a 2H Anti-glare coating instead of their usual and awful 3H).
I work with netbeans (dark them to please my eyes), but the result is black text on a white background...
For the consumer market, you are right. But the professional market (which has a lot more purchasing power) thinks differently and has constraints that punches not in the same direction. :(
If you doubt it, check the new monitors released by EIzo (outside the video/photo editing) or other high...
Oh, totally agree. With Steve Jobs gone, now there is nobody who pushes up the quality of computer monitors. So they have no rush to revolutionize or fixe issues. We are back in a traditional "this year monitor is a little better than previous one"... nothing more...
Maybe one of these could...
Note that the LG 4k and LG 5k are little tricky to use from a Windows OS as there are no buttons to access all the settings.... With a MacOS the driver is better integrated.
I am also having a lot of issues with some poor quality antiglare coatings which decreases the font readability. Do you recommand some monitors (4k or 5k)? As a developper, I really need the best font rendered. Thanks.
Hi,
I only use my monitor to code with netbeans on Windows10. So the most crucial factor is high **font** readability. I use my screen 8+ hours per day so I cannot have blurry text, tiny font or grainy AG coating.
I would like to upgrade to 4k.
1) Which size do you recommand? 27 or 32
2)...
artbio Are you happy with it? :)
How would you "rate" the antiglare filter? Is it light, medium, very visible? (The best and quickest way to test it is to open a black text with tiny fonts on white background: web page or Word doc). Thanks in advance.
I think that the up3214q had similare issue with the A00 revision. It was fixed with A01. (When fixed, if it is a problem for you, maybe you can contact DELL for a replacement).
About the antiglare: cyana thanks a lot for this info. It is a must have for video/game/image. Unfortunately it is a...
Hi cyana
The best article about it is here: Panel Coating
At the back of your screen, there is a sticker. It contains many reference numbers. There is one which may be located under a barecode which is of the following format: Rev Axx (xx being the revision number). Should be A00 or A01...
cyana artbio Thanks for the report. Do you both have the same revision number (A0?)? Strange fact: the UP3214Q also had something similar...
Is the antiglare noticeable with black text on white background? thanks a lot.
I am looking for a stand alone 4k screen which has the same display quality as Apple ones (especially the Macbook pro, the iMac 5k or the iPad).
These screens display text with high quality because of their very light antiglare coating which is what I am looking for.
Do you have a reference?
It looks like this dell will not have an agressive antiglare coating. I am already looking forward to seeing it. It is a little too much for coding but do I have a choice? :(
(why can't I find the quality of a macbook pro screen for my w10 dev box?).
