wait one fucking second,
wait one fucking second, “Response time (typical): 14 ms”? that can not be right, and if it is, that;s not good enough.
14 ms is the native response
14 ms is the native response time of the AH-IPS panel, but this monitor will incorporate “SmartResponse”, which is Philips’ name for adjustable pixel overdrive. It can be configured down to a 5 ms GtoG response time supposedly.
if it works, fair enough.
if it works, fair enough.
That’s fast enough for 70 Hz,
That’s fast enough for 70 Hz, which in the context of professional use is plenty good. I don’t think that is going to be marketed for gaming, even though it looks to be a good format for gaming. It is going to be designed for video editing, CAD/CAM, and stock traders.
Guess this one is not for
Guess this one is not for gaming. I like how monitors are splitting away from their tv brethren as far as aspect ratio goes though.
Jim, alot of blu-ray movies
Jim, alot of blu-ray movies are released in the 21:9 ratio. If you see black areas above an below the movie then these 21:9 ratio screen will fix that.
I like to call these 21:9 as true wide screen.

I just want to put landing gear and a propeller on it and see if it can fly.
I wonder how low they can go
I wonder how low they can go with PWM frequency on this one 😉 I think noone tried 60 Hz yet.
