AOC Releases the d2757Ph 27-inch 3D Monitor
AOC has just announced the European arrival of its latest widescreen monitor, the d2757Ph. This 27-inch model features an IPS panel, LED backlighting, and uses Film-type Patterned Retarder (FPR) technology to allow 3D viewing via polarized glasses (the display's bundle includes a pair of 3D glasses, and 3D clip-on glasses).
AOC's monitor also has a 10.6 mm profile, a slim frame, a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a 5 ms response time, a contrast ratio of 1,000:1 (20,000,000:1 DCR), plus one D-Sub and two HDMI inputs. The d2757Ph is backed by a three-year warranty and costs €279.

because that makes perfect sense
Relax people, this will change.
It takes a powerful gpu to run above that at good frame rates don't it?
Very suave design, i like the look of it.
Although my graphic cards can handle 1440p games at highest setting and 60fps, I still prefer 1080p setting at 120fps on this 120hz monitor.
Playing at non-native resolution on an LCD is only a problem when the non-native resolution can't be mapped perfectly to the native resolution. 1440x900 would look fine on 2880x1800. 1280x720 would look fine on 2560x1440, 1920x1080 would look fine on 3840x2160, etc.
That last one is the resolution I'm excited for... though I'm betting we're at least 5 years away from seeing anything without an insane price tag at that resolution.
It's basically the same as having a 1440x900 monitor where each pixel is a block of 4 uniform pixels.
I imagine that some monitors might introduce some extra input lag or something with a non-native resolution (I'm not sure on that), but in terms of pure image quality, there's no issue.
Now, does a 2880x1800 picture look better than a 1440x900 picture? Sure, it has 4x the visual detail (which is a HUGE difference). However, any blurriness won't be due to the monitor displaying a non-native resolution, it will just be because the picture is lower resolution and has less detail.
