    3840 x 1080 needs to be a format

    If the 21:9 panels sell well, there will be more of them and it will open the door to even wider stuff, all the curved OLED stuff that people are hoping for in 5-10 years time. But, if the 21:9 panels don't sell well then all that stuff is less likely. So if you want a 3840x1080 panel, go...

    Asus G-sync technology in 2014

    No, it is nothing to do with Lightboost. It is a way for the monitor to sync to the GPU rather than the other way around. The monitor no longer has a fixed-refresh rate like 60Hz; it refreshes whenever a new frame is drawn (obviously there will be some upper limit)

    Asus PQ321 4k Monitor 3840x2160 IGZO Display

    4K is just a number and a letter, it is not a defined standard. It is loosely applied to any display or format with approximately 4000 pix width. Defined standards are 4K UHD, Academy 4K, DCI 4K, etc. 4K UHD is the one most relevant for consumers, it is defined as 3840x2160. It was always...

    Dell S-Line Screens - S2740L, S2440L, S2340M, S2340L, S2240M

    http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1039431441&postcount=668 I have read various conflicting comments about the S-Line only supporting HDCP over DVI (not HDMI), and a chat session with a Dell guy didn't really clarify anything. Confirmation would be to actually play some HDCP protected...

    Dell S-Line Screens - S2740L, S2440L, S2340M, S2340L, S2240M

    Yes I am aware of that review, thats why I said there are confliction reports. I was hoping someone could confirm it, not google it.

    Can anyone confirm if S2440L supports HDCP over the HDMI input (ie for watching Bluray etc) ? I have read conflicting reports online. Thanks

    BenQ GW2760HS

    If I am reading their charts right, they measured the contrast ratio at 750:1? That seems very poor for a VA panel

    VA should have deeper blacks so its likely the same GPU issue that many people have reported here, can be fixed by changing some settings.

    Vision getting worse, thinking of upgrading from u2412m

    If you have poor vision then you will not notice the blockiness anyway. 27" 1080p would be a great choice in your case. Dell S2740l and Acer S275HLbmii are both glossy 27" 1080p IPS

    IPS is overrated!

    In my opinion all types of LCD are more similar than different. And the differences are pretty easy to understand and categorise. Hopefully an emmissive technology like OLED or crystal LED will come along sooner or later to relegate LCD monitors to the history books.

    BenQ GW2x50(HM) thread.

    This is a new model GW2760HS Only GW2760HS specifically advertises no PWM so it is reasonable to assume that is the only one you can be sure has no PWM. Surely if the other ones had it they would mention it as a feature also. They also talk about "Color Shift-free Technology" which they don't...

    27" IPS options

    The Dell S2740l is also glossy, although I imagine quite a bit more than the acer on account of the glass front. On the flip side the LCD is better protected I suppose.

    27" IPS options

    Acer s275HL is another 27" using I assume the same 1080p IPS panel as the others.

    AMVA is probably more suited for movies due to the deep blacks. FPS games require good response time and minimal input lag. I don't know how the panels compare. I think most new AMVA panels perform similarly to eIPS in terms of response time.
