The comments regarding matte vs glossy and text sharpness resonates with me. It’s really hard to use any non-Apple screens since their color is completely washed out and lifeless and text lacks crispness on all screens at a range of price points I’ve ever tried. What’s even more puzzling is how a large number of people online seem to adamantly defend widely sold lower-dpi 32” 4k matte screens as a superior product. It’s been over a decade since first retina products shipped and somehow 200 dpi+ desktop screens is still an extremely niche product.

The M1 MacBook Pro 14" shipped with a GtG response time of 58.4ms. The U3224KB featured in this review has a GtG response time of 5ms in fast mode, which is considered average but not great. Most high-end monitors manage GtG response times of around 1ms. With OLED it's closer to 0.5ms. 58.4ms is unacceptably bad.

  Sure, they are not fast response gaming screens, but I am specifically calling out reading all forms of text (web/email/documents/coding) as a main use case. OLED would be great if we could finally get 27” 5K. Currently all the gaming screens sit at around 1440p pixel density and are often coupled with non RGB pixel layout that causes color fringing on text: https://pcmonitors.info/articles/qd-oled-and-woled-fringing-issues/ https://pcmonitors.info/articles/qd-oled-and-woled-fringing-...

    You should be able to set the font anti-aliaser's subpixel order unless you're running a terrible operating system.

    To be clear, a 58ms response time is so bad that it produces a ton of ghosting while just scrolling text. Apparently Apple screens have always been this bad and Mac users just live with it.

> somehow 200 dpi+ desktop screens is still an extremely niche product. Resolution and color accuracy are subject to diminishing returns. I could be wearing my glasses right now. They're not a strong correction, but I could see slightly better. In fact, they're within arm's reach. Meh.
