does it look cheap because it is cheap, or because that's the look that we've all associated with amateur footage and camcorders?

Your cell phone records in open shutter because light gathering capabilities of a sensor the size of an eraser head can never match something the size of about 2 postage stamps.

https://www.engadget.com/2017/05/01/lg-4k-43ud79-b-monitor-four-displays-in-one-panel/

LG's Apple-flagship 5K monitor may have stumbled on its release, but the company's newest display looks like it'll cover all the bases in terms of sheer flexibility and screen real estate. The LG 43UD79-B, as it's cleverly called, is a 42.5-inch UHD panel with a 3840 × 2160 resolution, plus a nice range of gaming and productivity-focused features.

On it's face, the 43UD79-B is an IPS panel with 1000:1 contrast ratio, wide 178-degree viewing angle and support for over 1.07 billion colors. Although its 60 Hz refresh rate won't quite stack up against the latest gaming monitors, according to a press release from LG the 43UD79-B does boast a Game Mode, Black Stabilizer and Dynamic Action Sync mode. For gamers with Radeon GPUs, compatibility with AMD's FreeSync dynamic refresh rate technology will also prevent screen tearing and visual stutters.

Around back, you'll find two HDMI 2.0 inputs, two HDMI 1.4 inputs, one DisplayPort 1.2a port with FreeSync and a USC-C port that can also handle a DisplayPort signal. With all those ports, the monitor can act as a screen for up to four different devices simultaneously, using a variety of split-screen configurations and picture-in-picture support. Using the two standard USB 3.0 ports, the monitor can also control two computers from a single mouse and keyboard. Finally, with two built-in Harman Kardon speakers and an included remote control, the panel could easily double as a 42.5-inch 4K TV once all the spreadsheets are closed.

According to AnandTech, the 43UD79-B goes on sale in Japan on May 19th for about 83,000 Yen (or about $745 US), but pre-order pages have started showing up stateside for a hair under $700.

I have a thing for courageous dongles

if it's anything like dell's 43" p4317q its 4 cheap 1080p TN panels fabbed together and the screen size is so big that unless you sit absurdly far back you get severe color distortion around the margins. the only justifiable use of a curved screen and they aren't using it.

with that said, they are great for SCADA/HMI environments or callcenter/dispatch purposes where you just need to throw a lot of info at the person all at once

hello monitors thread, i need some advice

i need to prep a mobile-ish setup that involves 3 displays and my needs have been p well suited by p series dell stuff (i'm mostly doing financial/production/code stuff so no need for fancy gamut options)

thinking of grabbing another set of p2217h, is there anything stuff i should be looking at?

No color critical work on these but Dell tends to calibrate their panels off the lot to hit gamma 2.2 and a proper greyscale without any weird scaling or bullshit other manufacturers offer as "features"

yes, features like "modes" modes are codeword for "we did not calibrate this loving thing at all"

i need to be able to throw them in a pelican case and drive/fly/ship them around fairly easily

i'm mostly concerned with an easy to detach stand & general build quality, but i'm also looking for a price point that won't hurt too much if they get stolen or trashed

so I was unironically looking at this laptop (without the side displays) for a desktop replacement and what they've done is supplied it with a 220 watt power brick which is nowhere near enough to power everything inside, so they've gimped the gently caress out of the gtx 1080 tdp. it performs more like the lower model 1070 but razer gets to slap 'THE BEST GRPHICS :byodood:' on the spec sheet and charges $3799 of your earth US dollars for the 512gb.

i figure this might be the place to ask, i'm thinking of getting one of those graphics tablet doohickeys and i'm wondering what was good a few few years ago. i'm not super interested in dropping a grand to make better avatars, so i'm hoping to find something fairly good refurbished or new old stock

Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
I've heard that the monoprice drawing tablets are really good for the price. this was from a few artists I know.

sure, i'm in no hurry, anyhow 80% of my use case is making avatars so it's not like i'm doing mad science over here

to be clear though i'm looking for an actual display tablet, not the other kind, ideally in a fairly small form factor since i already have too much poo poo on my desk
