$3,500. Ouch.
- zanny 13y agoHope its not like 1440p screens that never came down in price. I just want 150 - 200 PPI at 22 - 27" between $200 and $400.
- sultezdukes 13y agoYou can get Korean 27" 1440p for around $300 these days. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-QNIX-QX2710-LED-Evolution-27-2560x1440-WQHD-PLS-Computer-Monitor-Matte-/121117252582?pt=Computer_Monitors&hash=item1c33269be6 http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-QNIX-QX2710-LED-Evolution-27-256...
- uncoder0 13y agoI've had two failures out of three of these we ordered. RMA is a huge pain as well.
- sultezdukes 13y agoYep, it's a crapshoot, but I think I'm going to pull the trigger soon on one of these anyway. Can you tell me which of the usual suspects (green-sum, hulustar, bigclothcraft, etc.... you went through? What exactly was your problem, completely dead panel or massive backlight bleeding?
- uncoder0 13y agoJust checked the order and it turns out we got two Nixeus WQHD 27" @$450 in August of 2012. After about 6 months we had one panel completely die which we RMA'd and received another one after a decent expense shipping. Shortly after the RMA the second panel we purchased died in a similar fashion. We currently have one that works and are not going to bother with RMAing the other dead panel.
- s_baby 13y agoA)Your experience isn't typical. B)You can spend an extra ~$30 for a "pixel perfect" unit.
- DiabloD3 13y agoActually, the pixel perfect units are not any different. Go read: http://www.overclock.net/t/1384767/official-the-korean-pls-monitor-club-qnix-x-star http://www.overclock.net/t/1384767/official-the-korean-pls-m...
- s_baby 13y agoThey're exactly the same, except the seller turned it on beforehand to check for defects.
- zanny 13y agoMaybe I should have phrased it better, a 27" 1440p screen is only around 110 PPI. Hell, a 32" screen like this is still only 140 PPI. I'm waiting on either a 1440p screen at 19" (which is over 150 PPI) or a 4k screen at 29", those have pixel densities I don't notice greater precision at at around a meter / yard.
- jacques_chester 13y agoWhat's important is that we're starting to see movement in high-end resolutions for the first time in quite a while. The arrival of 1080 HD screens created a long term set point in the market that brought progress to a bit of a halt. But I'm paid to look at text, not watch movies. It's nice to have real estate, but my eyes are crappy and I would dearly love resolutions to start getting denser again so I can use smaller font sizes without going crosseyed. It used to be that monitor resolutions trickled down from the top. Now, thanks largely to Apple, they're trickling up from the bottom. But this is movement at the high end. In a few years I can imagine buying a 4k ~27-30" monitor to replace my current 30" monitors.
- DannoHung 13y agoI wonder if there's some way to use eyetracking and headtracking to fake an enormous display with extremely high DPI. Only a very narrow area of the eye is actually focused and can detect features with maximum fidelity.
- jacques_chester 13y agoI vaguely recall Intel or MSR were doing research on something related -- dynamically changing LOD on 3D scenes to give more processing to where the eye is currently focused.
- nitrogen 13y agoBruce Tognazzini described a similar idea from research at Sun in his book Tog On Software Design from 1995: future computers would have print-quality DPIs, and would blur or scramble areas of the screen that were far enough outside the fovea for privacy.
