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

iPad Pro 9.7 and Apple Pencil, it's really really nice compared to any graphics tablet I've ever used

and I have a Calcomp DrawingSlate II that came with Fractal Design Painter that I used on an original PowerMac, so I've used a few

i think pagancow would say something about the gamer trash monitor having a bad panel / backlight / we. idk how that poo poo works. it was only $300 so i'm not super upset but still kicking myself for not doing at least a little bit of research.

sounds like you should return it and get something that isn't trash

I really like my 24in Dell 4K, it was only US$430 too

I assume Shaggar hates the Dell 8K too because of the ratio

sharp makes 90 and 100 inch displays, too

bigger than that and you have to go to specialist suppliers

barco modular LED matrix displays are cool

my new job gave me a non-5k, non-retina desktop monitor. my precious eyeballs are not suited for this kind of brutality. thinking of buying one for myself.

why didn't they give you a 5K iMac as a desktop?

do you work in a cubicle or open space too?

boring office display chat: friend of a friend wants an external display for their mbp 2015 for non-color sensitive work, is there something better out there than a dell p2317h in the $150-$200 range?

don't get a 1x display in this day and age unless it's for retrocomputing

especially if what you're attaching it to already has a Retina Display

a Dell 4K is like $400 and great

it's for a workflow that doesn't play well with a second display and space is at a super premium. plus retina display or not, 13" isn't a civilized screen size to work on when you're at a desk.

out of curiosity i'll still check them out if you have a part number, cheapest i'm finding for 3k is well over $400

Dell P2415Q is US$429 list price, and available new for somewhere in the $350-$415 range on Amazon depending on the seller

Man, windows scaling on a 4k monitor is bad at the best of times but when the whole thing is only 24 inches diagonal everything is gonna be tiny or fuzzy.

who uses windows
