I want fonts so small I could use a telescope just to read them
Now give me a desktop OLED monitor!

They're expensive, but they've been around for a very long time.

I wasn't kidding, I literally want that.
I want to be able to have fonts THAT small due to ultra resolution. The finer the detail the better.
Just imagine being able to use that you your advantage while sniping in a game somehow. Seeing the whites of an enemies eyes from a map away.
[QUOTE=TheDecryptor;38271100]I wish more companies than just Apple focused on making high density displays (IBM made a couple, but I'm pretty sure they discontinued them), it's kinda plateaued in the last 10 years or so (We're just starting to get higher than 1920x1200 in mid range monitors, and that's assuming they even use the 16:10 aspect ratio)[/QUOTE]
How about we make high resolution monitors...
..without a ton of bullshit? Why does the cheapest 1920x1200 have to come with three USB ports, built-in speakers, and full tilt/swivel?
What am I missing here? Hasn't Dell had 27" 2560x1440 IPS monitors? Or is it just that finally now another company is adding to the ranks, with a (possibly) much lower price? Don't get me wrong, this is awesome, but why all the hype? I want a 23 or 24" monitor at that resolution...

There are dozens of ~24 inch monitors lacking any of that.

Mostly the price. It's not worth a 6 fold price increase over a 1080p display.

That's what I figured. Hope this trend catches on soon then.

The built-in speakers are for the HDMI port which pretty much all except for REALLY cheap monitors have, the USB ports can be handy if your computer is hidden under the desk or doesn't have many, and tilt+swivel is handy for setting the monitor up [I]JUUUST[/I] right.
Now go sort that bunch of panties of yours.

Is a ordinary one with full LED backlight OK?
They already exist and are actually fairly cheap now.
If i ever come across a large sum of money, one of the first things i'd buy, next to paying off loans, would be a monitor like this, just with a really high resolution.

What? One of the points of OLED is that it doesn't have or need backlighting; that's how it achieves such great colors and contrast.
[QUOTE=Im Crimson;38277164]What? One of the points of OLED is that it doesn't have or need backlighting; that's how it achieves such great colors and contrast.[/QUOTE]
And it can refresh at like 100,000hz
[QUOTE=Shugo;38271190]I had never even heard of this stuff until now. How does IPS compare to TN? And as someone who primarily uses his monitor to game, including hooking consoles up, would such a high resolution really be worth it?[/QUOTE]
As someone with a 2560 x 1600, yes it's worth it. The one issue here is lag. IPS in general are notorious for lag, so if you're someone who whom has fast reflexes, you'll definitely notice the difference. If you don't, then it's pretty much win win.

The deal is it's going to be like Vizio did for HD TVs. All the same options as more expensive brands, with only a reduction warranty time and build quality.
[QUOTE=Im Crimson;38274075]Now give me a desktop OLED monitor![/QUOTE]
There are a couple of Sony ones already.
But they're like 5000$.
Now to wait another five years for them to come into a price range mortals who don't want to be in debt up to their eyeballs can afford them.

This is the perfect moment for Android to move in on the desktop market!
Man. I would like to get an IPS display but I would probably be limited to spending more like $200, maybe $250.

That one's expensive because it's PLS, not IPS.
[QUOTE=TheDecryptor;38272319]It'd look worse on the 1440 monitor because you have a non-integer scale (i.e. 1 pixel of the 1080 source should take up 1.33 pixels on the 1440 monitor, so it has to blur the result)[/QUOTE]
That's.... not how spatial scaling works.

That's also a PLS panel. Rather new.

The dell models are Ultrasharps. Professional graphics monitors with many options for tuning the image. They are A+ panels with a very high binning. Also the warranties are much better. Generally HP and Dell will replace the entire monitor the following day if it has a stuck pixel or 2-3 dead pixels. Also they can replace it if you think the backlight looks odd, or there is bleading. Or color shift. You're paying for service later down the line. I have a 3 year contract on my 30" HP pro monitor. I can call HP right now and get a replacement panel on my doorstep tomorrow at 9AM.
Monoprice aint gonna be able to offer that. Also these monitors are prob barebones just like the korean panels.

The lag really doesn't depend much on the panel. What I think you're talking about is pixel response time. And yes, for those wondering IPS's aren't known for being snappy pixel performers.

These monitors are already dirt cheap for what is being offered. They are about half the price of other 27" QHP panels that have been offered for a long time. I think the thing now is that with the korean monitors being a big hit, manu's realized people want better color and pixel density, but don't care too much about professional features.
[QUOTE=waxrock;38278071]That one's expensive because it's PLS, not IPS.[/QUOTE]
I honestly don't know the difference, care to explain?

This is pretty much it. I don't need a 'perfect display', and I don't need 400 inputs. I want a screen, with a few inputs, preferably reasonable controls so that I don't have to navigate 4 menus to change the brightness, and a good response time.
Outside of studio work, people just don't need or care about that sort of quality.

PLS is something samsung is trying to make to replace IPS and imo PLS does look a lot better than IPS (atleast when I saw it @ john lewis)

How else are you going to display a 1920x1080 picture on a 2560x1440 display then?
It took me weeks to get used to my 1920x1080 monitor from a 1366x768. I don't know what I'd do with almost twice that.
My boss gave me his old 30" Cinema Display (2560x1600) for free. Best display I've ever used.
[QUOTE=Shugo;38271190]I had never even heard of this stuff until now. How does IPS compare to TN? And as someone who primarily uses his monitor to game, including hooking consoles up, would such a high resolution really be worth it?[/QUOTE]
I like to describe the difference between panels (specifically IPS vs TN) as everything [I]but[/I] the screen resolution. I know it's not a very professional way of explaining it, but all those other things monitors have besides resolution (like colors, lighting, contrast, brightness, etc) all improved.
Cause remember, TN LCD's are inferior to CRT's, the screens that were replaced by TN LCD's...basically we exchanged image quality for monitors and TV's being less thick and lighter. Other panels like IPS panels correct this visual tragedy
I've been tossing around the idea of ditching my CRT monitor but been having trouble finding a monitor that's actually an upgrade from it. My 2048x1536 is simply way bigger than anything you can easily find on the current LCD market. I also have a lot of trouble finding clearer monitors
I'll probably get one of these if it's cheaper than a 27" catleap, otherwise I'll be picking up the catleap
