I should note that I'm of course talking about over the USB-C connector. Also for me, that trade-off was worth it; I personally use a 4k LG 27UD88 with the USB-C cable only... But I can see why some might prefer lower resolution with higher data speeds.
It's just another typical monitor. I don't know why but phones and tv's get the newest screen tech there is while anyone buying a monitor gets fucked. I can get a 4k hdr phone for less than this costs, I really don't understand this industry segment.
4k hdr phone for less than that price huh....I highly doubt that A and B how large of a screen does that phone give you, how limited is that phone when it comes to connectivity etc.
I am using a 31.5" 1440P display. Pixel density is roughly inline with a 23.5" 1080P monitor, so it's far from the worst thing imaginable... And certainly far superior to a 1080P 27" monitor.
And as a gamer... Even mid-range hardware like the Radeon RX 580 is capable of powering this resolution mostly fine, which saves me from having to spend as much on PC upgrades.
With that... I honestly wish my display wasn't limited to 60hz, I would upgrade in a heart beat if a manufacturer gave me a 1440P, 31.5" display, 120hz, 8bit+ for a decent price.
One thing is for sure, you will never make me go back to 1080P or 27" or less.
You don't need a desk 36" deep. It's not like your eyes are placed square at the edge of the desk. So 90cm away from the screen is not hard to achieve. But for a 32" computer display not going with 4K wasted opportunity.
Needs DCI-P3 instead of AdobeRGB. DCI-P3 is much more important these days, especially with UHD movies, iPhones & Android device support. The few people that work with print are the only remaining users of AdobeRGB.
Wish more quality or higher-end monitors came with Ethernet ports. I prefer the idea of it being part of the network, rather than direct-attached to one device.
With a huge display like that IPS glow will be hell. They should only make curved IPS panels from 27" on. That helps a lot with that problem. But the ones Ive seen so far have far bigger problems with backlight bleeding than flat ones...

That resolution is a bit long in the tooth. Especially for 32". And that 8-bit+FRC...ddriver - Monday, December 4, 2017 - link
Pixel fetishists will appreciate it.sonny73n - Tuesday, December 5, 2017 - link
"pixel fetishists"?Sick man's choice of words.

If they went with 4k, that'd mean USB 2.0 data and definitely no Gigabit Ethernet.jhoff80 - Monday, December 4, 2017 - link

Because people get a new phone every 18 months on average. That's where the revenues are. Whereas a PC monitor will probably be used for years.sonny73n - Tuesday, December 5, 2017 - link
Your reasoning is so shallow. Imaging how well cheap 4k HDR monitors would sell.negusp - Tuesday, December 5, 2017 - link
But he's not wrong. Doesn't matter how well they sell if purchasing frequency isn't significant.Hell, I still use a 2010 1680x1050 23'. Haven't had the want or need to switch.

My eyes are bad, but they aren't THAT bad. The pixel density is so low, I would need to place it 36" away. Most desks aren't that deep.ddrіver - Monday, December 4, 2017 - link

@ddriverSo I guess you just move your chair further away from the desk and stretch your arms to the keyboard if you want to type.

It is literally the same PPI as 24" 1080p... what's wrong with that?zepi - Monday, December 4, 2017 - link
It is the same DPI we’ve used for about 10 years or so. I got a dell 2007 24” 1920x1200 monitor over 10 years ago.And I got HP LP3065 about 2010 or thereabouts.
’Retina’ is long overdue on desktops. Or well, I wish others than mac users could enjoy it as well.

Adobergb might be a more useful color space than p3 since the volumes are nearly the same but Adobe goes a good amount further into the greens.astramael dot com has some good info about this

I don't see what's wrong with a 32" 1440p. Aren't bigger pixels better for pixel peeping?sonny73n - Tuesday, December 5, 2017 - link
For about $80 more, I could get a Dell UltraSharp 27 InfinityEdge UltraHD 4K HDR Monitor U2718Q.AdditionalPylons - Tuesday, December 5, 2017 - link
Any info about what the input lag is? (Completely different from the response time.)Beaver M. - Thursday, December 7, 2017 - link
