Currently switching out my Mateview 28.2 as it is causing some eye strain. I much prefer having a high PPI for coding. As far as I'm concerned I have major issues with Iphone 15 Pro Max, and some problems with most IPS screens as text starts to glow rather fast. Currently my eyes are mostly fine these days as long as I don't do anything stupid, so it is slightly harder to figure out what monitor to keep.
Hope some others here have also tried out of the few more promising high PPI monitors, so I can save some time figuring it out.
Just returned Gigabyte M32UC. A curved VA monitor with edge lightning 4k32". Mainly because the picture wasn't that good, and it got the IPS text glow, even tho it was an VA monitor. Also the build quality was pretty bad. Not to be confused with the much more common IPS monitor Gigabyte M32U.
Currently testing the LG UltraGear 32GS95UE. A rather expensive new WOLED panel with little blur and supposedly a true 10 bit panel. It's fine, but I do get eye strain, and tbh the picture isn't as pleasant to look at as I would like. It gets the typical glow around black text on white backgrounds, and the M1 Max can't drive it at more than 144hz, so I can't test if the 240hz framerate makes any difference.
Tbh I don't really know what might be the best path anymore. Some of my wants are below:
- 220 ppi like retina screens. Mostly only achievable with the Studio Display. Dell also has a 6k panel, but obviously only with 60 hz, and somewhat crappy reviews.
- 240 hz. Not achievable with higher than 4k monitor, and not with this machine.
- Truly glossy screen. I hate the matte reflections in the LG and Huawei. There is one that seems promising called Alogic Clarity Max, but I know nothing about the panel, and it's hard to get here.
- Curved screen. At 32" the angle of the sides of the monitor are starting to annoy me.
- Avoiding KSF phosphor?
- Avoiding all forms of miniled backlight
- Considering just doing 2 x 27" monitors, as the PPI is worse on the 32"
Did anyone have any success with 4k monitors?
