One major question I have: how come we haven't seen any innovations to desktop monitors? Most of the innovations come first to TV's and smartphone displays. It seems like the pace of desktop monitor innovation is slower.

- JulianMorrison 6y agoMy guess is that most desktop monitor buyers are very price sensitive and largely quality insensitive.

- stubish 6y agoI'm more interested in why TVs and monitors are considered separate markets. The difference between a TV and a monitor is software, and maybe a display port input for the highest resolutions or refresh rates. This large TV I use as a monitor is great, apart from lack of suspend and an annoying banner that pops up every time the resolution or audio inputs change. And much cheaper, assuming I could find a 43" 4k computer display at all in my region.
- darkteflon 6y agoSpot on. I switched to a 40” 4k Phillips VA panel (BDM4065) a few years back and can’t imagine switching back to anything smaller. Quite cheap, too. Might not be suitable for colour-sensitive work but perfectly serviceable for VS Code and a browser.
