If you select 'next day delivery' 90% (or more) of the search results may dissapear. --- End quote --- I buy my noname crap from China directly, not paying more for it on Amazon. It's not that. Apparently they went on strike. https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/amazon-workers-across-the-globe-are-on-strike-for-black-friday-174745422.html |

Most stuff scales well unless its very old. --- Quote from: nctnico on November 28, 2024, 05:50:07 pm ---It has arrived and I installed it. It is friggin' huge! I'll probably spend the next few days tweaking the brightness, gamma and contrast... :-/O --- End quote --- If you are like me this might be useful: https://twinkletray.com/ Dim the monitor at night so it doesn't blind you. --- End quote --- I never have my monitors set very bright to begin with. Anyway, I'm on Linux and it has a night-time dimming function built-in already 8) |

Some are way way way too bright at minimum setting, forcing user to control the graphic card output LUTs to dim the RGB values instead leading to massive loss of contrast and ugly backlight bleeding through the black color. I don't understand how this can be so hard to manufacturers to get right. |

They go by the highest denominator, assuming you are on Bahamas sitting outside in the patio on a sunny day. |

Anyway, I'm on Linux and it has a night-time dimming function built-in already 8) --- End quote --- Quick check of my 32" 4k: Brightness 12%; Contrast 75% When setting up a monitor I set it to 100% contrast, 0% brightness, then check how Google Maps looks and whether the two shades of green and two shades of brown are distinguishable and not all shown as white -- NSW or Victoria are good for this, or around Yosemite in Cali, and decrease the contrast and/or increase the brightness until that works. |
