degen isn't it better if you had bigger screen and just sat further away from it though?

      Wrightpt1 I agree. Please write your locate, state, and federal officials and express your concerns. Write any Consumer Protection Board you can find. Write manufacturers and tell them you will not be purchasing their products as long as they use LED's

      Nothing will change unless we make ourselves heard

        JTL I mean the screen is okay, I am not sure if i can see the pixel outlay, maybe I am not looking hard enough. It def works better with the displayport. much better in terms of color depth i feel like.

        Since I moving my tower, i have to stick with an hdmi, a fifty foot one at that and I didnt get one with a repeater or anything on it so not sure how it will be for the long term. But so far, it has been a good monitor. i feel like its a quality picture in terms of it having visual appearance that is not supreme but is subtle and stable unlike the Samsung monitors which risk all for the visual appearance it feels like.

        But i cant speak to if i can see the pixel grid. I do wish the resolution was higher for sure but have really never used a 4k for an extended period of time so honestly am not sure what i am missing which may be a good thing. I am happy to answer any other questions about the monitor. sorry for the abstractness of the response.

          Wrightpt1 Moved everything out today and its awesome. I still have some strain and i think its from the screen. its very, very subtle. I think its from the refresh rate.

          Here says that a refresh rate needs to be above 70hz and I have one only at 60hz.

          I am trying the higher refresh rate and a panel with no dithering. who knows if this will help though, the dithering i mean. but after experiencing this monitor with everything moved out. I have to say that I cant recommend the monitor. only because of the refresh rate. just wanted to add. if 60hz monitors do not bother you, then it seems fine.

          Edit: ignore this post. let me spend more time on it. still trying different things on it.

            degen even plasma TVs? but if anything it'll probably not be because it's big but it's because it's plasma i guess...

            and I have a question then, you've never tried gaming monitors? what is it about that that makes it "gaming compatible" exactly, that's different from a normal flicker-less monitor?

              Want to give the final word on the 32" LG 32MA68HY-P (6-bit with dithering), cant say i recommend it. There is something going on with the blacks. I feel like i can feel it trying to work to hard to attain the black levels. Redoing the icc proflie with a different gamma helped, but it would take a pro to get it just right.

              i disassembled my new midi keyboard and painted all the leds(one on each key!) black. it seems like everything I want to buy is completely covered in leds now

                reaganry Yeah, it is awful. I'm a firm believer that LED's are simply the latest dangerous product that have infiltrated the marketplace, and it's going to take time before thier harmful effects are better understood and they are finally banned.

                History has a long list of dangerous products being put to commercial use. Arsenic used to be a primary component of wallpaper. In Victorian times literal poison was used as a makeup to whiten skin. Lead was routinely used in plumbing for drinking water, and well into the 20th century lead was used in paints, varnishes, and most disturbing of all, leaded gasoline. Literally vaporizing a nuerotoxin and pumping it into the air. Lead solder was used to seal cans of food. Asbestos was considered a miracle product when it came out ans was used in everything from roofing shingles, house siding, insulation, brake pads, even blankets. The first plastics contained formaldehyde. When radioactivity was discovered manufacturers started adding Thorium to toothpaste.

                I am firmly in the camp that LED's are simply the next in a long list of dangerous products that have been commercialized, and we are unfortunate enough to have to live through the time it will take for the wider population to recognize their hazards and have the removed.

                  I too cover all the LED's with tape. The first step when a new item is plugged in is grab some duct tape and add layers. I need some of the black electrical tape...
