Forgive me, but is this a joke? You have an 8K monitor? If yes, would you mind if I asked why and how you use this? What makes it worth it?
I’m in the market for a new monitor. I’m coming from the first “nice” monitor I’ve ever had: a ~$300 27 inch LG HDR 4K. I thought it would be perfect, but to be honest it leaves a lot to be desired. It’s not even bright enough to beat the light coming through my office windows. What am I really paying for at these higher price tiers? Is it possible to meet somewhere in the middle? I do graphic, but not video, work.
- 0x008 7y agomaybe check https://www.rtings.com/ https://www.rtings.com/ they have monitor reviews divided by categories (for example creative work) and they test every possible aspect (for example brightness in brightly lit rooms, peak brightness etc.) that might help you. you can also sort, filter and compare the different options. it's really good and they do all their testing themselves and buy all the monitors instead of getting review samples.
- utopcell 7y agoI use it exclusively for programming. An 8k monitor is not a necessity, by any stretch: A good, large 4k monitor is more than enough for coding. I'd rather not voice an opinion about graphics or video usage because I don't know about the needs of these fields.
