    OLED Computer Monitors?

    Panasonic has had 20" 4k Plasmas some years ago already, but back then those were too expensive, also the IQ suffered, at least what I saw back then was not compelling, especially for a four digit figure asking price. In any case the point is not about the small size of the plasma pixels but...

    OLED Computer Monitors?

    I've seen LG's, Samsungs Sonys and Panasonics OLED TVs, presentation wise, Panasonic and Sony were vastly superior to Samsung and LG, simply for being put in a dark Area at IFA 2013, so comparison is difficult. I found LGs offering adequate, as stated before, the only thing hindering their use...

    OLED Computer Monitors?

    If LGs 4k OLEDs go down to 40~" we will have a computer monitor of sorts, though as of now I do also doubt they will put any effort in actually making computer displays, they never were making much money there. Their 1080p OLEDs are already in the 2k € price range, probably dropping further...

    S27C750P - how bad is the black crush and the smearing?

    black crush, you can set this panel to have little to no black crush, the high contrast allows to do this without having to go to insane brightness levels. i can only increment sharpness in counts of 4, and usually sharpness at 50 means pixel perfect matching. no blurring or ringing.looking...

    S27C750P - how bad is the black crush and the smearing?

    it has no dvi, no displayport(not that i am liking that one much) also no user adjustable profiles, sharpness can not be set to perfectly match pixels(it is either 48 or 52), no vesa mounting, stand is not height adjustable. no hub of any kind, for the asking price it is not a particularly...

    New Seiki 4k displays (HDMI 2.0) 2014 Q2 (55/58/65/85 inch)

    But it is possible that non-60hz@4K TVs surface with supposed HDMI 2 support, it is in the loose spec ..., but I doubt Seiki will be the first to willfully deceive customers, PWM and Blacklevels and whatnot, yes, but not fake HDMI 2.0.

    no more incandescent light bulbs to be sold!

    LEDs emit a spike of blue light, regardless of the color temperature, which is harmful for people with degenerative macula diseases. Good old lightbulbs produce less of the high energy blue spectrum and thus effect the sensitive photoreceptor cells in susceptible people less.

    It's incredible, OLED TVs arrived.

    There has been a 15" OLED from LG for a while, you could use that, resolution is low though. Smartphones have just as much static content shown on screen as a PC. Burn in isn't as much of an issue, or we'd notice legions of people crying their galaxy XY whatever has burn-in. Maybe some...

    More R9 290X details, NDA lifts October 15th

    Sorry, AMD won't include HDMI 2.0, this iteration at least. They'll stick to old Displayport Stitching for their "4k", refusing the need for 600mhz RAMDACs, stingy. Btw, I'm waiting for a real 4K@60fps+ output capable graphics card myself, without any stitching involved.

    Asus 39 inch 3840x2160 60Hz panel.

    usually they markup the prices due to "electronics" letting consumers shell out 2k+ for "added features" of said tech. in essence you pay more for a scaler on top of of a mediocre panel.

    Asus unveils 31.5" 4k Monitor

    Only 800:1 Contrast ratio, this sucks! Wasn't IGZO supposedly cure-all for bad contrast and whatnot? Not much left of it now, bah! What's the point of 10bit if brightest to darkest pixel doesn't differ that much, who knows how much backlight bleed and other failures creep up on this one. I'm...

    ASUS PA238Q - Wow. Just wow.

    I had two bad displays, one from HP one from LG before getting my PA238Q, I'm safe to say all brands have DOA units, yours obviously falls into that category. I'm not saying the PA238Q is a great screen, it lacks in some ui regards as well as backlight uniformity, but I've seen way worse to...

    ASUS PA238Q, Dell U2312HM or NEC EX231Wp

    I've got a PA238Q, the purplish hue and some minor clouding are present, but only noticeable off a angle/when viewing a black screen. If you want to drive several computers, the HDMI/DVI port can not be used for PbP/PiP simulateneously, ie only with another device connected to VGA(meh) or...

    Asus PA238Q - 23" IPS

    @Templeton Peck: Prad review pointed out that the contrast at bearable brightness ratios is below 500, also sRGB coverage is at only 95~%, add to that the rather limited gamma and black level adjustments, the screen leaves quite a bit to be desired once you start to look for the issues...

    Asus PA238Q - 23" IPS

    no, the.PS3 via HDMI does not have this issue, only my pc ATI cards do. Had hoped to override the drivers default behavior which always requires me to adjust the overscan manually until it is pixel perfect, usually at 15%+(max), This is for 1080p, other resolutions were ok as far as i tested...

    Asus PA238Q - 23" IPS

    Is there a surefire test for grain on consoles? On a PC I tend to judge by fonts and texts. so far i tested in a bright room. Oh and the S24A850 PLS display of Samsung is fairly cloudy among other issues on many sets if not most judging by user comments on a few forums, which is why I...

    Asus PA238Q - 23" IPS

    yep indeed nice. Though I do find the sRGB profile to be just fine for my needs, i really don't like the warm yellowish feel of 6500K and below. As mentioned above, in a dark room the PA238Q is suffering, seeing some uniformity issues in the corners, no clouding like on NCX's unit though. does...

    Asus PA238Q - 23" IPS

    Got the PA238Q an hour ago. So far I'm pleasantly surprised. The fixable issues: Save for a slight purplish hue on blacks at the corners when looking at it at 30 cm distance there is not much to be be dissatisfied about. I'd wish for more color temperature presets, particularly 8500K /...

    Steam is Killing the PC Market?

    You guys are aware you're just renting your games through steam, right? I'll not pay a dime for any game crippled by it. It's about time the retailers are waking up, I fear it's too late though.

    A new NEC professional IPS? PA series

    first 4:3 dies, now 16:10 dies, i wonder what's next, 2.35:1? I'd want to know if the new IPS panel has the white shift or if there's any sort of Polarizer included. IPS is great as long as there's light but when it's dark it could be better.

    What about the Eizo S2433?

    ah my bad, still, the response times should translate to at least 1 likely 2 frames input lag.. I'd guess this panel will be much the same as the Foris, mostly just lacking the multimedia features.

    What about the Eizo S2433?

    By now Prad openly mentions missing A-TW Polarizers in IPS screens, but deems the effect negligible, in light the Polarizers aren't produced anymore. I myself hate the low viewing angles of modern TFT's and wish I had bought a 20wmgx² back when it was still in production.

    What about the Eizo S2433?

    I don't have the S2433W but read a review of it. According to German c't 23/2009 the S2433W offers: Uniformity, adjustable brightness range: 74%, 72-347 cd/m² negatives mentioned are uneven brightness distribution and a lack of a de-interlacer. It has one of the best viewing angles of...

    HDTV as a PC Display - I've finally found one!

    I bought the HP LP2475w, it had dead pixels and i only tested it for a few hours. I now bought the LG 42LH3000 for the same money, 600€, and have had about two months worth of experience with it. It is perfect as a PC monitor, text is crisp and picture quite good. Played numerous...

    24" LCD alternatives wanted

    Interesting, thanks Biges, I'll keep the lack of Polarizer for NEC's 2690 WuXi2 in mind, i found the backlightbleed in my hp disturbing, brightness on that model at 0/0 contrast was still way beyond anything i deem comfortable. I was under the impression only SV models allow to dial down the...

    24" LCD alternatives wanted

    I'm quite intrigued by the new LG 24" displays, appears it may be worth waiting after all. Just too bad the LED backlit model is priced out of my comfort zone, on paper it looks better than the XL24 oldtimer from Samsung. Thank you very much for your input and mentioning that series. I'll...

    24" LCD alternatives wanted

    I want to buy a 24" LCD in Europe. After buying and returning a HP LP2475w due to dead pixels and other issues i am wondering if there maybe is a better display more suited to my needs. I am sitting close to the display, around 50-60cm usually, viewing angle and backlight bleed are important...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    I was wondering, is there a LCD without backlight bleed, the connectors the HP got and pivot at 24 inches? It'd need a Luminance below 70cd/m². The HP's luminance was unsuitable for working in a dark room. From what I gathered the NEC 2490Wuxi is much too bright (for me), the Eizo HD2442W...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    Europe here. Went to different stores to check manufacturing date and revision. Bought it from a store with 14-day no questions asked return policy. If everything fails i'll likely order it directly from HP.

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    I've just bought a HP LP2475w, it's a KD911AT#ABB, for 529€. You get what you pay for, it seems. Rev 111 F/W 44 Manufactured in CZ January 2009 LED does not stay off, there is a line of dead pixels almost the width of the mouse pointer in the lower right of the screen. Backlight bleed...
