"2k" is fine, sure whatever Also, for computer displays it's the best resolution. 4k is wasted unless you're one of those freaks that uses a 40" 4k tv as a computer monitor. do not at me

voxel graphics were real treats for the eyes when done right. those terrible paintball shooter games using the duke nukem engine. anyone else remember when Dreamcast used powervr, only rendering what was visible to the camera and saving processing power for its hitachi risc chip?

high refresh rate is much more important than high resolution.

Wild EEPROM posted:calling 2560x1440 "2k" no it absolutely is not it's commonly referred to as "2.5K" for rough homage to the DCI formats, it's prolly the best descriptor we have these days. 2k, 2.5k, 4k, that's easy to understand.

i recently saved our office from getting a bunch of 4k 60hz monitors with built in netflix. some engineer recommended the goofy things and operations was on the verge of buying them til i stepped in and changed the order to these beasts: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B6Q71X58/ref=twister_B0BMQ8FCRY

calling it "2k" is not fine, it's not at all 2k. if you said "1080p" should be called "2k" then i would reluctently agree, but not 2560. 2.5k for 2560? okay fine.

Wild EEPROM posted:gently caress curved monitors too they're stupid a slight curve on an ultrawide is a good thing because it counteracts the illusion of the corners falling away from you that you get with something that wide. compare to how people tilt dual monitors slightly towards each other. it's not noticeable as a curve after like an hour of use anyway. curved 16:9 displays are dumb poo poo.

Wild EEPROM posted:maybe if you're perfectly on axis with it, but yes it actually is a problem 1) it's extremely subtle and horizontal lines don't actually appear curved 2) your brain accommodates for it rapidly, just as it does for the curved projection of every straight line you've ever seen on your retina 3) it's a computer. you have tools to tell you if a line is straight. you don't need to eyeball it

Sagebrush posted:high refresh rate is much more important than high resolution. you keep banging on this and i disagree. i tried a 144hz monitor and i’d much rather have higher resolution. a 5k display that allows for apparent doubling of a 1440p display window is much more valuable to me. it’s not that i don’t notice the increased refresh rate, it’s just less important than the razor sharp text. obviously if i could get both features in one monitor i would take it. imo curved monitors are cool and good on ultrawides; on anything less, ehhhhh

A Bad King posted:those terrible paintball shooter games using the duke nukem engine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw5Ya2IdDKU quote:The tracks were composed by Todd Duane. From what I read, he gave Head (Games) a CD with some random demos, which doesn't surprise me in the least. Looking him up, he's not bad, it's just this collection of what-the-gently caress ear drill crap that's awful. The Build engine is interesting not only because it was basically made by a teenager who was mostly working on his own, without much understanding how such a project should be directed, but also it was weirdly prolific in a various odd projects, like said paintball game, a duology of jingoistic war games made by a right-wing shithead, a pirate-themed FPS made by the same fuckhead, an ambitious quasi-religious game that was never finished, another duo of war games made by teenagers from Scandinavia, that was sold in stores and finally a very neat and stylish vaporwave walking simulator that used to be on Steam before the publisher got banned for scamming Valve

color accuracy is the most important like imagine buying a loving va panel (or worse a tn panel) in 2023

do they even make tn panels anymore? there are still quite a few va panels out there because they go hand in hand with high refresh rate for some reason.

Beeftweeter posted:mediaphage is right, resolution is more important absolutely not. this is correct: A Bad King posted:accurate color/contrast > high refresh > resolution of the panel having the color be off or shift as you move around is completely unacceptable, which is why you need to only buy ips or oled. after that, you need at least 120hz refresh rate so moving objects don't feel crunchy. if you have both of those, sure go nuts with high resolution, but it's the least important.

nah as a photo/video editor i gotta disagree, for me i'd say it goes more like color accuracy > resolution > refresh rate (preferably at least 120 hz, yes) but to each their own

depends on the use case. for gaming, color accuracy isn’t super critical. if you’re color grading in premiere or something, then yeah, you need the accuracy
