I struggle with this, too. For me, PPI is the most important factor, but more is not always better. Scaling is still something of a crapshoot on Windows IMO, so I want the native resolution PPI to be something in a reasonable range where text looks crisp, but I can still see it without scaling. For that reason, I purchased 27" WQHD (2560x1440) IPS or PLS displays both at home (2x) and at work (3x), but recently I've been feeling the itch for an upgrade.
Do you watch any video/movies on your monitor? If so, the new big thing (excluding variable frame rate for gaming, of course) is HDR for PCs. I know the above isn't much help, but it's all I got. I will say that the best resource that I use when making monitor selections is tftcentral.co.uk. They have top-notch reviews and an excellent panel database. As far as I'm concerned, if they give something a good rating, you can take it to the bank. -----Original Message----- From: Hardware [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Winterlight Sent: Saturday, December 23, 2017 6:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [H] Dell UltraSharp 32 Ultra HD 4K Hey Greg, My old 30inch X3000 is dying so I need a new large monitor but the variety has confused me.
