    Are ultrawide monitors less sharp? Some text is grainy in Dell u3419w

    No I didn't, but neither I did in the other Dell monitor. The pictures I posted are from the same monitor, but you are right I should post pictures from two different monitors. Mine was also a general question about ultrawide monitors.

    Are ultrawide monitors less sharp? Some text is grainy in Dell u3419w

    I have played around with sharpness but it seems the monitor struggles with some letters, for example 'w', look at these pictures Text looks sharper and more defined on my older 16:9 2k Dell monitor, u2713h. I never had these kind of monitors with the 21:9 aspect ratio and have seen another...

    pixels edges very noticable, defective or low quality panel?

    Unfortunately I can't return it, so I would like a technical opinion in regards. This is the G5, so it's true that it will be replaced with a refurbished part but I have 3 years of warranty.

    LCD replacement for elitebook 850 g5

    I have an 850 G5 with the 1920x1080 touch screen but I would like to replace it with the 1920x1080 400 nits screen which is offered by HP.

    Swap lcd of LG Gram

    I think power consumption will not be a problem because the LG gram has a touch version which consumes more power. At least on that website I can't find any lcds that have brightness above 300 nits.

    USB-C port weird behaviour after disconnect or sleep

    I have bought a usb-c to hdmi cable. The problem is the same I had with another usb-c hub. The first time I connect everything goes well. Then, If I put my computer to sleep, or if I disconnect the cable, the usb-c port doesn't respond after reconnect or waking up the laptop. I have noticed...

    USB-C hub only turns on when VGA is connected

    Thanks, that's not very practical, but it might be useful to know which pins in the VGA port would need to be touched to activate the adapter. CableDeconn has been useless, blaming that it's my laptop.

    USB monitor connection for multi monitor setup

    Thank you Dan for the precious info. I don't need to run anything beyond 1080, so that should not be a problem. Is there anyway I can determine if my usb-c port supports DP alt mode? I can't find any info online regarding my laptop. I don't necessarily need DP, I can use DVI + VGA for the two...

    USB monitor connection for multi monitor setup

    That makes sense. So I was thinking something like this https://www.amazon.com/Multiport-KPTEC-DisplayPort-Converter-Notebook/dp/B0756CRNWH/ref=pd_sbs_147_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0756CRNWH&pd_rd_r=Y9Q5Z1H8T7SHZM7840H7&pd_rd_w=XaLKw&pd_rd_wg=94rgh&psc=1&refRID=Y9Q5Z1H8T7SHZM7840H7 or this...
