So can the Philips BDM4065UC which has been around for ages and is a pretty nice monitor (although only supports 60Hz 4K on the displayport input).
A much nicer price as well, even if lacking 3 inches ;)
- vardump 10y agoNeither have pivot (portrait orientation) though. Except maybe by mounting it to monitor arm or something. I want an ability to control monitors programmatically. I want to be able to script brightness, contrast, active input, etc. Using buttons to do that is just so horrible, especially with multi-monitor setups. Monitors should also signal orientation and ambient light level back (many monitors have sensors for these anyways!). I want my OS to automatically adjust to portrait when I rotate the damn monitor. All this must happen in a standard way, that's always available regardless of currently active video input. Bluetooth could work for this. No I2C pins anymore, please. USB ports should be powered and connected all the time. Not just when the monitor is on, this makes the feature nearly useless.
- mobiuscog 10y agoThere's absolutely massive room for improvement in the monitor market - I agree that all of the things you mention should be standard by now. Even TVs still have atrocious menu systems considering how cheap technology is now - A raspberry pi zero is likely far more capable than most TV/monitor UI controllers.
- petepete 10y agoI was under the impression the Philips one only display two inputs at once (PBP/PIP) rather than four. Either way, it's a extremely tempting piece of kit.
- mobiuscog 10y agoI can check when I get home, but I'm fairly sure I can set all 4 inputs at once using PBP.
