Pretty much the new gold standard. Unfortunately I've already sold all my gold so I don't see how I'll be affording this.

 

[tacosRcool]

I can't afford this also

 

[Comenius]

Yeah, would love to own one of these but at that price there's no way I can afford it. Heck, that's more expensive than some 30" IPS panels!

 

[remixedcat]

meh ;-( It took me nearly 3 months to save up enough for an SSD drive....

 

[Completely Bonkers]

I have a couple of "pro" Samsung panels albeit somewhat old. They were half the price of the Eizo IPS of the competition, but the overdriven-non-IPS soon tire your eyes. Never again a TFT that isnt IPS.

 

[Hilux SSRG]

Gorgeous display but price kills it for me. PLS panel that much better than standard IPS panel?

 

[Chaitanya]

Samsung please mail 24in 16:10 aspect ratio panel, I can afford exactly 1/2 of what this panels costs.

 

[Jacez44]

Borders kill it.

For 1,200$ I want no borders what-so-ever!

 

[Disparia]

Oh hell yeah I'll pay that much for a 3840x2160 panel!!!

Oh... I see what you did there. Quad HD, not Quad Full HD :shadedshu

I suppose it's still pretty nice, but nothing I could jump on until it's cheaper.


Pre-order if anyone was interested: SAMSUNG Series 9 S27B970D High Gloss Black/Brushed...

 

[Nothgrin]

I remember the stand for Samsung's similar models being quite wobbly. For over a grand I'd expect it to be stable.

 

[Completely Bonkers]

When it comes to $1000+, I'm expecting a lot more for my money.

 

[rpsgc]

What? $1200 for a 27" 1440p monitor? They mad? Were it 120Hz, then OK, but it's not.

 

[Jermelescu]

Samsung = best displays since Jesus.

Jesus displays weren't that great...they had lots of 'ghosting'

 

[hellrazor]

I'm glad someone saw 1920x1080 for the horrible PoS that it is, but I'm worried that it's so damn expensive that nobody'll buy it.

hey I still use it and a 1440x900 and the average display size is 1366x768.

The one good thing about the Jesus monitors is that when it dies the first time it'll come back to life the next morning.

Edit: They're also apparently very environmentally friendly since the monitors are self-assembled without the need of tools or materials; they just magically pop out of the factory.

You mean 3 days later?

How is 2560x1440 classified as Quad HD?

 

[rpsgc]

How is 2560x1440 classified as Quad HD?

Number of pixels.

 

[inferKNOX]

Let's not mistaken

• qHD (960×540) = quarter of a Full HD
• WQHD (2560×1440) = Wide Quad High Definition
• QFHD (3840×2160) = Quad Full High Definition

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_display_resolutions#High-Definition

I'd like to see resolution-wise is 26" or 27" 16:10 4k monitors, ie, WQUXGA (3840×2400, Wide Quad Ultra Extended Graphics Array).

Let's hope they continue to add features, at least there's 3 of the features I had mentioned here.

You mean 3 days later?

2 days to be exact.

How is 2560x1440 classified as Quad HD?

Here they are refering to Quad HD. HD has a resolution of 1280 x 720. If you double its height and width you get the Samsungs resolution of: 2560 x 1440

 

[Completely Bonkers]

I want QFHD in 24" please. That would fit my desk and my lust for resolution perfectly.

PS. I wonder when Apple will release a "retina" cinema display. Probably LONG BEFORE the PC industry pulls their finger out...

Making fun of Jesus Christ (peace be upon him)... by people of Christian nations... Shame!
