    I'm torn... LG 34" 21:9 or 4k, help me choose.

    Since you've seen your fair share of monitors up close, how well do you feel Windows and Windows applications handle DPI scaling for 4K 32" displays? I've never seen a 32" 4K display in person, but from the calculated DPI at pxcalc I think the UI of many applications would become a lot harder...

    Samsung S27D850T (1440p S-PLS) & S32D850T (1440p A-MVA)

    Maybe this is just semantics, but I thought scaling any lower resolution image up to fit a higher resolution display constituted upscaling. Is there some other terminology that I'm not understanding correctly?

    Samsung S27D850T (1440p S-PLS) & S32D850T (1440p A-MVA)

    I get that "screen fit" and "just scan" are the same thing, but what I'm wondering about is what that does exactly with a 1080 or 720 signal on a 1440 display. Does it still fill the entire display (meaning scaling the image up to 1440, with no overscan) or does it result in some black borders...

    Samsung S27D850T (1440p S-PLS) & S32D850T (1440p A-MVA)

    To be clear, I'm referring to a specific setting called "screen fit", like how many TVs have a "just scan" option. It should be able to fix the overscan problems with AV mode, but I don't know if it will lead to a 1:1 mapping in the center of the display or not. That's a page from the...

    Samsung S27D850T (1440p S-PLS) & S32D850T (1440p A-MVA)

    Could you check what "screen fit" does with a 1080/720 signal? On Samsung TVs I believe it only serves to prevent overscan, but for a 1440 monitor I wonder if it simply prevents overscan or if it actually allows 1:1 mapping of non-native resolutions. You might have to change the input to "av...

    ViewSonic VP2770: 2560x1440 Semi-Glossy PLS

    About the banding I had mentioned before, if you can't see the lines from a foot away, you shouldn't have the problem. Seeing only faint lines when very close is probably just the result of eye fatigue and would probably happen with any display when viewed for long periods at that distance...

    ViewSonic VP2770: 2560x1440 Semi-Glossy PLS

    Using the old Wii component cables slipped my mind as well, so I will consider trying out the ev2736 when I look into purchasing a monitor again. I'm going to stop the search for a month or two because of other obligations that are taking up more of my time. Might you know of any retailers...

    ViewSonic VP2770: 2560x1440 Semi-Glossy PLS

    I'm thinking specifically of a much less common, much less user-friendly console that happens to use HDMI. You can probably guess which one, since there's only one other major player in that market aside from Microsoft and Sony. On an unrelated note, DST just started here for the Pacific...

    ViewSonic VP2770: 2560x1440 Semi-Glossy PLS

    I hadn't thought of that. Sound might still be a problem though if the console doesn't have any other digital audio out besides over HDMI.

    ViewSonic VP2770: 2560x1440 Semi-Glossy PLS

    I always forget why I didn't consider the Eizo, but I checked again and the Eizo doesn't have a HDMI port. I rarely connect consoles, but I like having the option. That's the main reason for 1:1 pixelmapping anyway, since I can use GPU scaling if I want to watch letterboxed videos from my desktop.

    ViewSonic VP2770: 2560x1440 Semi-Glossy PLS

    I'm thinking of maybe a NEC model. More expensive, but I would hope that the extra cost results in better QC and less need for exchanges.

    ViewSonic VP2770: 2560x1440 Semi-Glossy PLS

    It's fairly obvious on a black screen, but I'm not getting a replacement. I'm thinking about getting a monitor that has 1:1 pixel mapping now, though I'm still undecided on what to get.

    ViewSonic VP2770: 2560x1440 Semi-Glossy PLS

    I just searched that thread real quick and the picture in this post is pretty much the exact same problem I had, but with a much better picture. http://www.overclock.net/t/1384767/official-the-korean-pls-monitor-club-qnix-x-star/13860#post_21787784 I didn't realize it's a known problem with...

    New NEC EA274WMI

    I see. I had always thought that a reflective finish would have the exact same effect as having glass that covered both panel and bezel before, but now I know to avoid completely-covered glass displays even more than other glossy finishes. I always look for matte (or...

    New NEC EA274WMI

    I don't have any experience with glossy IPS screens, but isn't the reason the blacks appear grey on the glossy finish just that the reflection is partially obscuring the image? From the picture, I would think that in a dark room the two should look about the same.
