>Dell UltraSharp U2725QE: quite good specs and price but test results by reviewers show that specs are inflated. Also bad port placement and cable management. Matte screen which is a big downside for me. Aesthetic (bottom) bezel which is a plus>benq MA270S : looks promising because glossy and 5k and good color accuracy (theoretically). But only 70hz>apple studio display pro xdr: looks promising but very expensive Any advice?
>>108546314What even are your optionsI'd just get some high spec chinkshit, innocn, aoc, tcl, whatever, if cost is at all a concern
I use the U2724DE and I've had it for about two years, zero issues or annoying quirks, the Thunderbolt/KVM just works, I can even daisy chain my TVThe panel is supposed to have 2000:1 contrast ration and I measured it to confirm. Downsides - you can't permanently assign the NIC to one of the computers, it works with whatever's active at the time.I'd definitely get another DELL if I needed another monitor.
>>108546314>promising because glossyholy retard
>>108547432>The panel is supposed to have 2000:1 contrast ration and I measured it to confirm.The one I am talking about claims 3000:1
>>108547462That's your opinion. Many photographers agree with me
>>108547569Lol, wtf is this shitI got 27 inch 4k 160 Hz VRR HDR1000 (1700 nits actual brightness) miniLED for like $500.
>>108547691Model?
what you want is 8-bit color maybe 10-bit color, not six bit plus two dithering color
>>108548822propose a monitor
I think I'm going to hold out for lg ultragear evo 27gm950b or something else. I tried ordering Dell UltraSharp U2725QE three times since yesterday, and everytime something happened causing the order not to go through. I take it as a sign and will hold off
>>108547691HDR on IPS monitors means completely washed out blacks given typical 900:1 IPS contrast. mini-LED backlights either lead to black crush and/or major blooming, the LED matrix can't be made dense enough. HDR is only good on OLED currently. 150nits is enough for most indoor offices and work, 1000nits is crazy, and not useful given the limited panel contrast. IPS has shit motion clarity even at 360Hz, 60Hz is acceptable for work, no reason to buy an IPS for gaming if it doesnt have backlight strobing (or GSync Pulsar), CRTs and OLEDs are the best at that. The Dell monitor OP posted is good because of the native 3000:1 contract ratio, no need to turn the LED backlight off with such deep blacks. 97% DCI-P3 it seems too.
>>108546314I have this monitor. It's solid for work but meh for gaming.I use Sway/nvim/kitty but I did notice when testing on a normal desktop like Plasma/Gnome that there's some ghosting on moving windows even though its 120Hz.
>>108551852Is this a beautiful cork desk pad ? What are your thoughts about recommendations about it
>>108546314>Monitors I am consideringhahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahhhaI have been considering monitors for over a year now
>>108546314The real red pill on monitors is that any midrange and most budget 4k tvs blow every monitor out of the water. Even most budget tvs have high refresh rate modes. Think about it.A budget tv from TCL or Hisense will get you:>4k 120hz / 1080p 240hz>5000:1 or greater static contrast >speakers that aren't complete shit>smart tv features>less than 300 dollarsThe only downside is that you might not be able to use it in a typical desk setup if it's too big
>>108553018>I have been considering monitors for over a year nowSame, a good 2-3 years of weighing the options and counting
>>108551701>The Dell monitor OP posted is good because of the native 3000:1 contract ratio,But people who measured it found it was a lie and more like 2500
>>108551852OP here, I am getting it. Call me superficial but the aesthetica of the (bottom) bezel is also a big plus to me. I will use it only for work, I don't game
>>108547462Glossy is far superior in image quality to matte.t. Ripped off the factory protector of my drawing tablet and had like 4 different samples on at the same time
>>108554681Maybe not getting it after all since matte >>108554689I really hate it when white documents seem yellowish because of shitty matte film
>>108551852How white is it showing white documents?
>>108551701you seem to know a lot of stuff, putting my hopes that you will have a look at this and tell me if it should have better or worse colors and blacks than the dell monitor in the OPhttps://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27gm950b-b-gaming-monitor
I wanna buy Dell Ultrasharp U2725QE but I wonder if they would make a better soon. So I then want to wait longer for that onethis is the never ending loop of thoughts, looking for a monitor, finding something that looks good, then wondering if there is something betterlol
well I eventually ordered it (Dell Ultrasharp U2725QE), but from a vendor with 30 days no questions asked return policy (for that reason probably 40 euros more than the cheapest vendor with no return policy) so I am thinking if I really really don't like it for some reason, not a big deali have been working without a monitor for months and it's starting to suck really hard since my work laptop has a shitty screen resolution
>>108554704If you have the option between getting a particular display in glossy vs matte, I would choose the glossy. But at the same time I don't know if there's a big enough quality difference between glossy and matte to justify abandoning an otherwise good monitor. Maybe get some protectors for your phone and see how you personally like it first.
>>108551701>mini-LED backlights either lead to black crushis that good or bad? I read the new apple xdr pro has this technology
>>108553011It’s a dirt cheap IKEA cork writing pad. Initially for the first few weeks it had tiny “bits” that I would sometimes touch and it would feel like a crumb that I would pluck off. I use a leather writing pad at work and they are both great. I’ll never use a synthetic fabric pad again.The whites are great, in general the image is vivid with great contrast for fonts. I turn the brightness down to around 65% since it’s actually too bright for my tastes when staring at code for hours on end.
27 inches is way too small, you want a minimum of 32 inches. 27 inches is only good if you want to have 1 window open or you are a teenager
>>108554752The specification says 1000:1 contrast ratio, so the Dell would have better blacks. The Dell specs 99% DCI-P3, same as the LG, both got good colour gamut. 9216 mini-LEDs still isnt high enough. That's a 128x72 mini-LED resolution. Each mini-LED is lighting about 40 pixels, so blooming will be bad. The LG main point is 5K resolution at 27in, but the Dell's 4K panel is still sharp, 5K is kinda overkill. I would buy the Dell. 360Hz dual mode on the LG is cool, but it's still a pure sample and hold display, with no backlight strobing, so still would be blurry at 360Hz. The Dell is spec'd at 120Hz. Dell has better contrast/colours. lg is a bit sharper and has better motion clarity (but both still not very good). Choice is yours.
>>108554894It is not a good thing. What mini-LED displays have to do is compromise between having deep blacks (turning off the LED if the average pixel level is low enough) or blooming (keeping the LED on but then the low native contrast will stand out to pure black (fully off zones)). It's an impossible balance since the mini-LED resolution is not high enough. Mini-LED blooming looks quite similar to CRT blooming.
>>108555233* CRT blooming is arguably better than miniLED blooming, since its only significant at high luminosity. Mini-LED will bloom far earlier at even at low luminosities.
>>108555233>compared cheap miniled TV that has only 760 dimming zones on 65" (lol) from 2019 to OLED TVWow, what a retarded nigger.My Xiaomi G Pro 27U (>>108547953) has 1152 dimming zones on 27" 4k screen. It has great blacks, doesn't bloom with local dimming and has great response time (for IPS panel). And unlike current (4th) gen OLED it doesn't burn in, and it doesn't fuck up text due to retarded pixel layout. And all of that for a mere $500.
>>108555138>>108555233thanks brosef, feeling less worried I made a wrong decision now by ordering the dell one. seems like it should be solid
miniled blooming is seriously overblown, at this point it's basically a lie perpetuated by people who have only seen minileds through overexposed phone pics.I was surprised when I got a cheap tcl with only 720 zones, thought it'd bloom like hell but once I put movies on it's barely noticeableUnless you're buying a monitor specifically to play the windows 95 starfield screensaver a miniled will do fine and will shit on any ips or va in contrast.
>>108555955>doesn't bloom with local dimmingby crushing the blacks. miniLED it's either black crush or blooming. That Xiaomi has 48x24 LEDs, each lighting 80-100 pixels. Local dimming is still a compromise even with 9000 zone displays. That Xiaomi is a good value monitor, still.
>>108546314Nigger, the only advice I'm gonna give you is KYS because you've been choosing a fucking monitor for like 3 fucking months.
