I don't know a lot about monitors but I'm currently using a 27" BenQ monitor (VA panel) and it's breddy gud except for the banding / limited color capabilities

i laughed when i watched his video, especially the part where he sits on the couch with his gf. can his home get any more bland

LG and Dell are my favorite brands if we're talking about normal consumer monitors.

Sony or Eizo if we're talking niche/professional displays.

agreed
he lives his life as an 8 bit computer would

I had CRTs fail on me before, the colors got messed up.
Never got dead pixels on LCD panels, though.

this guy fucks

Dell Ultrasharp line objectively best consumer monitors

Just got a 27" 4k monitor not for gaming ask me anything

neat

Shits too small bro. And I don't think you can change the scaling per monitor on Win 8.1
On the other hand I love sticking my face in 4k content, and admire the density

what is your gpu ?

Haven't looked into monitors for at least 4 years. Why are 120/144hz monitors still almost double the price of a 60hz monitor? Honestly a bit put off getting one.

nice, i have a 390 . i like radeons


because of demand i assume, they weren't always that expensive

It's 2018. This fucking screen came out in 2014.

i am using a 24in proscan tv as a monitor, works pretty great actually, 1080p is all i need

At work I have to use a 27' mac with the weird 5k display. It's nice for a workspace, and because I edit video and audio all day its nice, but the 5k resolution is very odd and hard to get used to. When I'm at home I use either my 24' 1080p acer with a 120Hz refresh, or my raspberry pi shitposting machine with a monitor of an unknown brand I found at a pawn shop for $20

8 bit goy

Dell
without a doubt.

Get a 42" 4k and push it away from your face to the back of your desk.

Thank me later.

>t. 5k iMac early adopter

I don't want a blurry screen.

>blurry screen

do you not understand how visual acuity works or are you just pretending to be retarded because you own a mac?

What's sharper, a 5k iMac realtively close to your face, a 4k monitor that's further away?

Just because you "can't see the pixels" doesn't mean shit when you're objectively losing detail.

I like LG matte panels. Terrible black uniformity but I think that's realistic, they're rather tribal.

What's the consensus on AOC? I've used BenQ for a while, but I want to get a 144hz and the AOC g2460pf is the cheapest one I can find that doesn't seem like total garbage.

Asus, i like the name.

dell ultrasharp in da house

It's the exact same panel as in the iMac

It's not

iMac is 8-bit with 10-bit FRC. Ilyama is 6-bit with 8-bit FRC.

Is so

How many different 27" 5K panels do you think there are?

How can it be? It's a 6-bit panel.
The iMac is 8-bit + FRC for 10-bit support.

[citation needed]

I know people compare 8bit guy and LGR a lot and how we're pretty much unanimous that 8bit makes way better videos, but I just feel like LGR is a dirty person and 8bit is clean. LGR buys filthy old tech and just puts it on a shelf. The 8bit guy meticulously cleans the old tech that he gets.

I bet LGR's apartment smells disgusting and 8bit guy's house smells fresh

The site clearly says it has color support for billions of colors, 8 bit is 16.7 million, 10 bit is 1.07 Billion.

So if it supports billions of colors, it MUST support 10-bit, therefore it can't be a 6-bit + FRC panel.

a 24" 1080p monitor is a little blurry.

the equivalent 4k monitor would be 48"

so 42" is just right

The 4k equivalent of a 1080p screen is 24".
If I were going to have a 42" monitor I'd want it to do 8k.

for the tru tru

Have you actually demoed lower DPI screens? As I said, I was a 5k early adopter. And I didn't feel like I was losing anything going to a portrait-mode 24" 1920x1200. 42" 4k lets you have the equivalent of triple vertical monitors, with the aesthetics of a single monitor, with the aesthetics of pushing the screen away from your hunchbacked face and leaning back.

Buy a Dell U2412 off ebay for $100 and demo it vertical. I'm telling you. It's almost the same exact height as a 42".

24" 16:10 portrait = 20.4 vertical inches
42.5" 16:9 landscape = 20.8 vertical inches

1920 vertical pixels vs 2160 vertical pixels

It's a thing of beauty.

BTW LG 42.5" 4k on newegg for $500 after coupon code.

Vertical screen real estate is prima delicia

I bet you have your 5k iMac set to "More Space" resolution == 3200x1800.

Splitting that into triple portraits is 1067x1800. Many websites are broken at 1067 horizontal pixels.

Join the 42" 4K masterrace and enjoy triple 1280x2160. Superior to triple 1920x1200 portraits. Full 1280 width which most websites actually support.

Buy a 55 inch 4k tv, scale it to 150% sweetspot, amazing everything it brings a tear to my eye

only 1080p :/ but I sit pretty far away so it doesn't bother me
