    Widescreen everywhere. 16:9 is horrible for computers.

    I was frustrated by it for a while too, but I have finally found the solution. You simply need to get monitor that is large enough *vertically*. For me that was 32" 4K For general desktop I most commonly use it in "split mode", using WinDock to split into two areas - main 4:3 and supplementary...

    Nah, I am not a layer, but I have some experience interacting with hardware engineers and know tricks they use to wiggle out ;)

    BenQ BL3201PT 4K monitor

    You can't since there is no binding contract or universally accepted definition on what "response time" means and each manufacturer can set own rules really. They can just say "by response time number in our ad we meant pixel reaching 75% of set point", or "we meant best response time with...

    BenQ BL3201PT 4K monitor

    Sorry, I maybe mistaken what Acer (bull)advertised, sure, 4ms lol, not even best are these fast ;) I didn't measure myself, but lot of good reviewers do nowadays, here is one example (look red numbers for 0-50 transition). Maybe not, because a) most likely its not 1ms even on best transitions...

    BenQ BL3201PT 4K monitor

    As I said, at minimum they should list the *slowest* transition response time, whatever that is - black to white, black to grey, etc. Ideally response times for different transitions are listed as a table or a diagram (like most of pro monitors reviewers do). Not really... GtG/average could be...

    BenQ BL3201PT 4K monitor

    Single-number (average) response time is useless number, because monitor can have average (e.g. gray-to-gray) response time of 5 ms, but some transitions (e.g. from-black) like 30ms. This will cause some colors respond slower and "smear/trail". It would be much better if manufacturers also...

    BenQ BL3201PT 4K monitor

    This Samsung uses completely different panel so it should not have same issue. But its PLS panel, and some people (me included) not very fond of it - it has VA-like gamma-shift if you move around and somewhat visible black-blue trailing due to slower response times. Contrast is much better than...

    Stuck pixel won't go away

    Huh? Quite significant amount of allowable dead pixels actually accepted in all modern panel manufacturer standards. So they will try to sell it to you. Ultimately its up to you whether to accept such or take advantage of consumer protection laws/seller return policy. But don't wait for return...

    Seiki SE50UY04 3840x2160 50" TV ($1300)

    Its not that hard to increase clock speed if you have capable output stage on your GPU. But getting this signal across cable and have your monitor get it without corruption and/or loss of sync is another matter. They pulled it off with doubling of bandwidth from 1.1 to 1.2. Then they (DP...

    Seiki SE50UY04 3840x2160 50" TV ($1300)

    Like many times on wikipedia, this just because NVIDIA and AMD claimed they support DP 1.4 However, this largely unsubstantiated claim - because there are no working DP 1.4 endpoint you can actually test it with. I think there is big probability that with current drivers even if you get DP 1.4...

    BenQ BL3201PT 4K monitor

    This excuse comes from panel manufacturer - AUO (a.k.a. Acer). Its them who first when the issue was reported several months ago said "ah, nobody showed us picture/video proof, so we are not doing anything". Now they say "this does not happen to us, so we are not going to do anything". Easy fix...

    G-Sync - Fundamentally flawed, if you play games

    Sorry, I meant *vsync off* eliminates latency. Edited.

    G-Sync - Fundamentally flawed, if you play games

    Well yes, its not the same - its miles better, because v-sync-off only eliminates latency (motion still jittery) while G-sync eliminates latency _and_ makes smooth motion. From what you describe, your G-sync setup wasn't giving you the proper G-sync experience (either because of a slow panel or...

    G-Sync - Fundamentally flawed, if you play games

    G-sync does not "lock" refresh rate - if its working properly, it exactly the same as "v-sync off", only with smooth motion and no tearing. But I have to note that some recent NVidia drivers broken G-sync - I had to roll back to previous version ~2 weeks ago because I noticed it wasn't properly...
