Review on LG 28MQ780 B DualUp Monitor: DCI P3 2560X2880, Dynamic Action Sync, Flicker Safe, Reader Mode, HDR10, 28MQ780-B.AUS, HD - Ultimate Visual Experience for Enhanced Productivity by Ben Goodman

But I wanted to provide feedback on my research and address some of the feedback as well. First, the pixel density of this 28-inch, 2560 x 2880 resolution monitor is 137 ppi. This should be enough to create decent enough text, but if you're using a Mac with a Retina display, those displays are over 200ppi. The same thing. Now you can still see blurry text on this monitor, but it will have nothing to do with PPI. You see, there's things like subpixel anti-aliasing and font hinting. We didn't do that in the days of CRT monitors. I don't have a pixel grid to worry about. With LCDs, the software must (or should) now match the pixels on the physical screen. But that's not quite possible with fonts, so artifacts are hinted at and then dithered (subpixels or grayscale). Some software does this better than others, for example you can observe really fuzzy font rendering in vscode (any electronic application for that matter) as compared to sublime. If you have ppi above 200 then this blurring will be less noticeable to you, but you will still notice a difference in rendering when you open Sublime and Vs Code side by side and it can still cause eyestrain. Moving on, this monitor eliminates the last part of the cause of blur and eye strain. Again, this pixel grid on LCDs is 99.99% RGB, which means that each pixel is arranged in RED, GREEN, BLUE. Basically, if you rotate a regular monitor 90 degrees, you distort the order of the pixels, and on a lower ppi display, you'll notice color smearing around the characters. I've stopped using Windows altogether, but I'm pretty sure you won't be able to specify pixel order like VRGB until the latest version of Windows 10. On Linux you could do it in an extension, I have no idea how Mac does it. And finally, the final reason for blur and typing pleasure is refresh rate and input lag. 60Hz, 5ms just isn't enough. There are also many other factors that increase input lag. This is mainly due to the so-called superior USB interface (yes, the PS2 was faster on a dedicated IRQ). I don't know if this monitor even supports 75Hz as I don't have one. I hope this review will help you in your search for a good monitor.
