It's incredible seeing 60 hz junk being promoted on a tech site in 2022

Incredibly low resolution for the size monitor too. Is the form factor the novelty worthy of sharing?

  I think someone is just doing PR, hence the dowvotes

  Since when is 1440p low resolution? A 4K IPS panel is by no means the standard, even in 2022.

    I wouldn’t own a 4K monitor that was over 24” and I don’t use monitors that are under 25” anymore. So yes, that means the entire market for monitors I’d own is around 6 in total, which is ridiculous being that it’s 2022, but that’s the world we live in.

    It is rather low 110 dpi, „retina“ devices are doing > 220 dpi for nearly a decade and are much easier on the eyes. Now unfortunately those are still not common in external monitors - probably because they require 5k resolution for todays display sizes. But even the 160 dpi of a 4K @ 27“ screen is such a massive step forward in picture quality and readability that I couldn’t ever see myself going back to 110dpi or less. This should especially apply if a display is marketed as ergonomic

      This LG is just shy of 140 dpi.

        You are right. I got confused by the mention of 1440p - which is not really what this screen has at 28“. Still not really in the hidpi category. I assume it would be most usable with something along 1.5-1.75 scaling, which produces inferior results to 2x.

        I would prefer higher dpi too. If someone would make a hidpi square (ish) screen I would buy it in a heartbeat. The Huawei Mateview looks great but can't swivel to portrait, unfortunately.

  I just bought one of these (and love it! I write a lot) It has the same PPI as the 32" 4k Dell I run at work.

    32” at 4K is pretty low ppi

      About 140. But I find it okay since I like to keep the screen not too close.
