Dunno, I really hated Trinitron screens due to both horizontal strips as well as seeing individual pixel triplets and gaps between them (I guess my eyes are super sensitive to parallel/perpendicular lines; can't look happily at non-retina LCDs either). I found Samsung's Invar variants in their SyncMaster (757DFX and higher going up to 2048x1536) superior and much more natural (likely my eyes aren't that sensitive to diagonal non-perpendicular directions).
I had the same problem with these screens. Even after years of using Trintron monitors at work, I was never able to ignore the lines. I've never heard anyone else complain about them though - others seem to get used to them very quickly.
eInk displays are "in a league of their own" compared LCDs in very specific ways just like LCDs are "in a league of their own" in others.
It's fine if you strongly prefer one, but it's kind of weird to strongly disagree with recommending looking at another option.
Like I said, once upon a time I believed that it wasn't worth trying. On a whim I did, and it turns out it's great.
The point of my comment is to show what changed without prejudice, but apparently that's quite an inflammatory thing. I guess forgot about the "I'd replace every screen in my life with e-ink in a minute" cabal, which does tend to be pretty sure their opinions are The One True Way.
What do you oppose with PWM, irregular subpixel displays? I'm curious why do you think these new improved displays are inferior to the LCDs of the past?
As the other day I was looking for a flexible OLED panel to replace a broken CRT (because CRTs are curved) in a Minitel terminal, I welcome any competition that could drive prices down.
A Trinitron like curvature would be nicer than an obviously flat LCD panel.
Iiyama's MVA3 displays are, to my knowledge, significantly in front of other LCD styles (e.g. TN, IPS) as far as contrast, especially from an angle, is concerned.
Unfortunately my desk's dear centerpiece, https://iiyama.com/gl_en/products/prolite-x4071uhsu-b1/ , has been EOL'd about 2 years ago, because I have been unable to find a replacement that's not worse, while staying in the 40~50" range. Any concrete suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
I have not seen those. But based on my experience with other eInk displays, I suspect they are downplaying their refresh rate issues. I don't doubt they are better than previous eInk displays, but I suspect no one would watch a movie on those eInk displays and claim it's anything close to, say, OLED for example.
I'm going to spring for this one. I'm still using an old TFT CCFL LCD display here because anything else gives me a pounding headache and face twitching.
What's the deal with those Vufine displays? Are they any good? I have never heard of them before this article, and now that I'm trying to find a reliable review so I can take a look at what you actually see but I'm struggling
LCDs do give consistent color convergence over the whole display, and perfect vertical and horizontal lines. That counts for something, although you're certainly right about the cons.
When they come down in price, I'm in for one of my displays.
For reading documentation or news articles, it's probably much more comfortable on the eyes.
Not sure if this is the same product, but in my job I've met one of the researchers working on this tech. The screens they were able to produce had refresh rates high enough to watch a movie.
