voyteck insane 218 PPI, which makes it implausible to discern individual pixels on this screen, unless you're really up close Being unable to discern individual pixels from a given distance doesn't make everything 100% smooth. Power lines first come to mind. The same goes for font optimization: text is deformed in the same way regardless if it's Full HD on a 27" screen or on a 14" laptop. Even Ultra HD on a 14" laptop is far from perfect. It's very simple: either a particular logical pixel hits RGB subpixels perfectly or not. More often than not – it doesn't. As a result, you can admire, say, "l"s of three or more different widths, swollen either to the right or to the left. Reply
Notton txfeinbergs said: Why would anyone want a 27 inch monitor these days? Not everyone has space for a huge monitor. Some regions have disposal fees tied to the size of the monitor. 27" is considered the sweet spot for 1440p, and it's a popular size. IDK how I'd feel about using 1440p mode on a 32". I already don't really like 1080p on a 27". A 16:9 panel larger than 32" is more like a mini TV that has its tradeoffs with brightness and color uniformity as you now have to sit further back to see the top of the display. Reply
UnforcedERROR helper800 said: This is incorrect. 5k is 5120 x 2880 and QHD is 2560 x 1440p, exactly half of 5k, so it would scale perfectly. That monitor on 1440p would look exactly as good as a native 1440p monitor with regards to scaling. I'm aware it's divisible by 2, but without proper integer scaling, it's actually not as sharp as a native display at the lower resolution. This is because the shift to a lower pixel density adds horizontal blur in most cases, which wouldn't be present with proper integer implementation. Most people don't care, or will barely notice, but it's there regardless. Most manufacturers don't want to put the money into this because the general consensus will be that a person is going to be running a monitor at the lower resolution for performance rather than fidelity. As an example, here's a review of the Alienware AW2725QF dual-mode monitor from last year. Note that Monitors Unboxed purposely pointed out the integer scaling implementation, this is because most dual-mode monitors don't actually implement this: PxaQEQzxog4:285 View: https://youtu.be/PxaQEQzxog4?t=285 Now here's a review of the recently released MSI MPG 274URDFW E16M. Again, note that this is 4K > 1080 and should scale perfectly, but doesn't, because there's no integer scaling: iW-HfmrFGZk:462 View: https://youtu.be/iW-HfmrFGZk?t=462 Reply
