I think this panel pixel doubled at 1080p would be ideal for a lot of us wanting bigger, clearer font in our ui. Can windows do pixel doubling as os x does, or is it only dpi settings? (which as much as I think is technically superior, that is to try to adjust the interface windows to any...
DrinkTea, I just sent you a pm!
Good summing up of key points. From what I 've read so far it being usb powered is possible, as others have done it, although I don't know if the high ppi will limit it to either usb 3 only or min dp power.
In terms of the housing I am of course 100% behind the...
Something else I noticed:
The chromebook pixel's display in portrait is almost (to 0.15 inches) the same vertical height as a 21.5" 16/9 screen, and three chromebook pixel displays in sequence are slightly larger than a 21.5" panel in the horizontal direction. What does this mean? Any 21.5"...
I 've been rereading this thread, with everyone's great contributions here. It's a slow Sunday here and I decided to write a hypothetical kickstarter pitch:
The DisplayPal, your computer screen's closest friend your best ally.
All great projects start with an unmet need and a vision for...
as an aside, a stand imitating the g3 "lamp" imac but with a smaller half orb doubling as a usb/thunderbolt extention hub would look and function great. you could even actually stick a 2.5" hd space there as thunderbolt allows for fast daisy chain peripherals.... an suddenly the idea seems to...
i disagree janas, more and more people get exposed to high ppi via their phones and tablets, and are then looking at their computers and going shit that looks bad, high ppi monitors are not here yet for desktops, so that opens a nice, niche ;) , door and a market opportunity for gettin some of...
Great thread! I 'd say "I'm in" but I am afraid I have limited financial resources and technical expertise. Anyway my two cs are:
a. With very high ppi panels around the corner this should come to the market fast.
b. What could hurt it is the availability of cheap high ppi tablets to use as...
I was actually looking for someone having mod-ed, or giving instructions how to mod, or actually having manufactured a high ppi 13-17" stand alone monitor to use as a secondary screen in all the uses you mentioned. It amazed me that no one, as far as I looked, had come up with such a thing.
it's exactly because a "retina" designation, ie pixels indescernible for a certain diagonal size at a certain distance (which can be relatively easily calculated, and apple neither can or has to specify it for every diagonal screen size and viewing distance scenario) is very valid and...
i don like to use marketing terms, esp. so apple's, but retina is an apt term an its useful as it means that at the average typical usage distance 99% of the population wont tell pixels apart. it also means that the pixels will be tight enough to render an lcd screen effectively resolution...
xoleras, you dont seem to get it though i ve explained it to you, and you insist. a 27" desktop monitor doesnt have to go 300 ppi to qualify for retina,it has to arguably go over 135 or so ppi. so the 30" oled sony can very well be considered retina monitor, as the new sharp is too that can...
Kindler, the guys here have given you impeccable advice. It's really pretty much all you need to know and in detail. As a fellow sufferer of eye strain it's taken me over a year of my own research on the web and elsewhere to come to pretty much the same conclusions as what has been suggested to...
I do and have since a long time ago, albeit not as a computer interface. Sadly e-ink while marginally better than what it used to be, just isn't there yet. If you want to have a look at various eink models go to mobile read . com and to their wiki. Pixel qi, isn't eink btw, it's just reflective...
same here, astigmatism and the doc gave me prescription glasses that didn't help, they actually made things worse, and eye drops, which as you said, dry eyes, is the symptom not the cause... I am going to be seeing another soon. I was thinking of going with the gunnars but I 've not bought a...
Kudos for another super informative post that I am sure will come in handy for many others reading the forums and not just myself. I've just pm'ed the seller on ebay.de. The monitors go for a rather more expensive price than the one you get in the states, around $350 or so. Sorry to hear about...
Hmm, I see what you mean....so I guess I am wrong here, and I 've got my categories mixed up.
But anyway, the one in the eizo and for that matter any samsung pls panel I 've seen does eliminate almost all glare and does create graininess on white and texts, albeit considerably less than the...
Calling all ag freaks (myself being the arch ag freakster of course) to chime in on what they think about the matte coatings of lenovo namely the T61 and its successor the T400 and T500, and the T61p and W500.
I hope I am not misleading people here, and I'll try to get some photos of it soon, so you guys can see for yourself, but in my eyes it doesn't seem to me that semi glossy. It's the standard pls one used by samsung (I had a pls samsung before so I can tell) and I would call it light antiglare...
And apparently the nec came with an at-w polarizer as far as I remember from reading around.
In terms of aspect ratios I think the added advantage of the 4:3 21.3" over the 16:9 23" is that in software environments where you don't need the extra horizontal space it helps you focus more, and...
Great post man, thanks a lot for the info. I guess I should ask them about hours of usage, although I doubt they 'll go for paying my return fees if there's any trouble with them. Are you looking at ebay.com seeing those two resellers? Or (as I think you are) ebay.de, from where I am planning to...
sorry to drug this out from the past, but in my never ending quest for eyestrain relief this will be the next lcd I am buying, probably off of ebay. I am worried about the s-pva matrix and text clarity, but I like the contrast and the aspect ratio very much.
we re alike in quite a few ways, i too have eye strain and photo sensitivity issues, got the eizo a couple of weeks ago and i am using flux too, although unlike my former va eizo i find this one too dim to keep at 20 brightness. you might want to try lutein and zeanxathin as a supplement too.
hi ian, i was excited at first to read your post, but it seems the ppi of this panel aint anything to write home about and the price is a per other 4:3 products uber high. At around $400 i d be seriously considering it, but at $900, bloody hell.
Stuart if you don't mind me asking, and I don't mean to be intrusive but why did you change your message about a three year warranty 24/7 in Australia? If you'd rather not share this, I don't have a problem editing my message too, but I was curious since it was a positive piece of info, that's...
The claim that even the worst lcds have sharper text than crt's is the biggest pile of horse manure I have ever read on these forums.
I switched from a sony crt to a sony lcd (both top notch models at their time) way back when and the first thing I noticed was the much inferior text due to...
go with the eizo, with a pls panel from samsung, but far better than anything samsung puts out in terms of brightness and calibration. got one myself a week ago. easily your best choice at the moment from the ones you mentioned. nec's va panel and the similar mva from phillips at 23" inches...
I 've been reading other forums re. the longevity of the igzo panels but I 've not been able to find anything concrete on concerns about it. Anyone here have any idea what it's all about?
Which kinda validates my point that it's sharp who, once more, can't get supply to meet demand, instead of actually meeting low demand with a small number of panels per month produced.
It also makes one wonder whether it would have actually been better for us as consumers if sharp had gone...
Are you talking to yourself? Where did I talk about 300 ppi on a 27" being produced anytime soon, last time I checked i talked about upwards of 170 ppi? I am asking about 300 ppi on a dekstop? wtf? anyway...
Of course I am not judging it by the same metric. 137 ppi is good enough, but to be close to (to user apple's marketing term, which I don't like to do) retina that would have to be closer to 170 and up factoring in the distance.
All this resolutions as in 720p, 1080p, 4k are deceptive in that...
Are you sure it's not production issues? They 've been rumored to provide displays for the retina macbook pro, the ipad, then ipad mini and not a single time did they manage to meet apple's quality and volume requirements, so apple ended up going with lg, samsung and au optronics. They've only...
No wonder sharp is in such dire straights if after all the brouhaha about igzo they are in the sorry state of being able to produce 50 panels a day (ie. 1500 a month). What's their factory like? Size of garage or something? Or are they getting low yields or something?
I simply couldn't use the Samsung at all and I returned it, way, way too bright.
This eizo panel is slowly growing on me. The contrast is not as good as the va one, but it seems with use it's coming to its own.
In terms of the ag, it's not semi glossy, no way, it's actually making the letters...
They didn't admit it to me either, strange, I thought it was due to the reps ignorance.
Ok, my first impressions on the eizo panel.
- It's clearly got a samsung pls panel, I had one for a while and I can tell by the coating. I don't know what it is about pls (which I read here it's a variation...
