After a bit of a failure with 27" 1080p Benq ew277hdr, I am looking ag 27" 4k monitors for maximum image quality.
The biggest problem with 4k montiors ever since is suppsoedly bad blurring/scaling of 1080p resolution. Many people say "it's perfect because 4k is 4x1080p and pixels..." bullshit. What we know is that lcd monitors (that includes 4k monitors) scale every non native resolution with similar filter to bilinear type.
I was reading review of Asus PB27UQ, because I've seen one particular user on reddit recommending it ofter. It is a bit more expensive than LG 4k montitors but it does have real, normal matte bezels (which is a plus), adjustable stand and very good calibration (and maybe qc but there are not many opinions or reviews)
There is only one review of this model from https://www.prad.de/testberichte/test-monitor-asus-pb27uq/4/
One thing that I've noticed which caught me off guard is (read interpolation section of the review":
"
We highly recommend the resolution with 1920 x 1080 pixels, since this is exactly a quarter of the native resolution and can be displayed perfectly. The smaller 16: 9 resolution with 1280 x 720 pixels is also still good, but also slightly blurred.
...
However, since probably the most commonly used Full HD resolution could be reproduced almost perfectly, we give overall a good rating.
..further in the review...
Thanks to the very good representation of the Full HD resolution even casual gamers without a powerful graphics card can play on the monitor
"
Is this a translation error? Did we missed the supposedly "only one" 4k monitor that does 1080p properly? It's a year old screen. If this is true, then this looks like a must buy 4k screen without drawbacks
