    Does playing in lower-than-native resolution add lag?

    Thank you. This is very good to know. One less reason for me to avoid a QHD screen now :-)

    Does playing in lower-than-native resolution add lag?

    For example, does a QHD screen add lag when used in FHD (due to having to constantly interpolate the picture)? Thanks!

    What's the smaller compromise - 6 bit with FRC or using non-native resolution?

    The LG 27MU67 isn't available where I live, but I guess I should wait a few more months until a reasonably priced UHD screen with IPS panel is available. My current screen is working fine, so I should just be patient.

    What's the smaller compromise - 6 bit with FRC or using non-native resolution?

    Yeap, QHD. 4K is out of my budget.

    Best monitor for reducing eye strain?

    Doesn't the U2515H have higher resolution and as such you may be using smaller text? I have a hard time with high resolution screens because of this. Letting Windows scale fonts is a problematic solution, because it causes layout issues such as truncated button labels.

    What's the smaller compromise - 6 bit with FRC or using non-native resolution?

    I'm considering the option of getting a QHD screen and trying to work around the small text by changing Windows DPI settings (and living with the occasional broken app and truncated button labels). The question is - would a QHD screen like Dell U2715H be competitive to a FHD screen (e.g. P2714H)...

    What's the smaller compromise - 6 bit with FRC or using non-native resolution?

    If this statement is accurate, then it's a key takeaway from the discussion for me, as I don't plan to print and don't target users with large color gamut screens. I wonder what I'd be missing (in terms of suitability of the screen for web display) if I don't purchase an 8 bit screen?

    What's the smaller compromise - 6 bit with FRC or using non-native resolution?

    Great comments everyone, thank you! evilsofa, 2560x1440 is definitely too much for me. I need to find a showroom where I could check how things look if I use it at non-native 1920x1080 resolution. If the text doesn't look sharp then it's a non-starter. 32" inch won't fit reasonably well on my...

    What's the smaller compromise - 6 bit with FRC or using non-native resolution?

    pixelblue, I wasn't referring to TN panels. I looking at IPS panels with 6 bit+FRC, like the Dell P2714H. According to the tftcentral review the difference compared to 8 bit is negligible. Quote: This is why I'm considering this screen as a replacement for my 8-bit 2209WA.

    What's the smaller compromise - 6 bit with FRC or using non-native resolution?

    zone74, photo editing is not the only use of the screen. It also needs to be suitable for general use and gaming. I can read the small text of high DPI screens, but I find it's less convenient and less enjoyable compared to lower DPI screens. In a way it's like reading the fine print of a...

    Samsung Data Migration Software - any way to check which open files were skipped?

    I am concerned, yes. Is there any advantage to cloning with the Samsung software compared to third party tools? If not, then I'll just do it again with Clonezilla.

    What's the smaller compromise - 6 bit with FRC or using non-native resolution?

    27" 1080p would be perfect in terms of resolution, but all these screens seem to use 6 bit color which I'm concerned is worse than my current screen. 32" is too big for my desk constraints and probably out of my budget anyway.

    What's the smaller compromise - 6 bit with FRC or using non-native resolution?

    My current 22" is not FHD. It uses 1680x1050, which is perfect for my preference and eyesight. I wouldn't want smaller pixels.

    What's the smaller compromise - 6 bit with FRC or using non-native resolution?

    I'm in the market for a new 27 inch IPS screen, which I plan to use also for image processing (I use DxO Optics Pro 10 to convert my DSLR raw files, and Corel Paint Shop Pro X7 for editing). My current screen is a Dell 2209WA (8 bit), calibrated with Spyder2Express. I'm perfectly ok with its...

    Samsung Data Migration Software - any way to check which open files were skipped?

    I used it to migrate my SSD and everything seems to work fine (including SFC check), but I'm a bit concerned about the software warning that it skips open files (as it's running from the booted OS). Should I run the process again with Clonezilla or another application that loads from its own...
