YHK - yet another hacker news clone

I’ve been on the fence about the P20 for a while. Some people report getting janky units. BenQ has a 3:2 monitor with 3840x2560 resolution, 120Hz refresh.

Anyone know how 60hz freesync works out in practice for casual gaming?

After having 120Hz for 2 years, Im never going back to anything lower. At 120Hz I feel connected to the machine

Interesting using the iPad that way for productivity.

It's too bad there isn't a 3:2 OLED (and if there is let me know). I shelled out for a AW3225QF OLED 4k at 240hz and it is beautiful... I would love to get a proper OLED side monitor for the blacks and contrast but instead stick with my Dell U24 as replacing it seems silly.

My graphic designing ass feels like this is about the perfect ratio for a screen. And this thing seems quite sturdy.

But even if I had the budget to afford it most probably I'd pass - having to handle settings with a remote control instead of with the OS via a ddc interface or something seems quite odd, or maybe it's just me that grew so used to this "old" Apple Thunderbold Display.

Also that it doesn't have internal speakers, mic or webcam - I really like the thunderbolt display "peripherals" and make my desktop way less cluttered that it should be with just any other monitor, so the hypothetical case of having to get also speakers, mic and a webcam sounds like a serious downgrade. Can't care less about the 120Hz thing but maybe it's because I've never used a high-rate display.

I wish they do a "P20 Pro" of sorts that adds this things.

What's the name of the keyboard in the picture ?

Talking about unusual monitor aspect ratios, what I would really want is a 3840x2400 monitor. 1920x1200 is somewhat common and easy to find, but 2400p is only available on a few laptops.

Why 2400p? Because it is the LCM of 400, 480 and 600, so it would allow perfect integer rescaling of my favourite MS-DOS and early Windows games.

> we still haven’t been able to get the colours quite right, in any setup.

Yeah, instant non starter for a $1k display. And the HDR section makes it sound like HDR support is purely there to tick a checkbox and not actually usable on the device. Not even counting the fact that the author had to swap the display as soon as they received it to get a non-defective one.

There’s a reason Apple displays are still the gold standard. Everyone else just skips the quality control part. If you trawl the high DPI display subreddits, you’ll find plenty of stories of people exchanging displays many times (3, 4, 5 or more) until they get a unit with an “acceptable” amount of dead pixels/color shift.

For tech that’s in the $1k-$2k range (or above), it’s just unacceptable.

I don't really get this monitor when a 4K 32in QD OLED exists. Running the 32in at 100% scaling will yield more usable space on the left and right, essentially the same height, way better colors, way better refresh rates, and no oddities like the weird remote. The 32in is also likely the same price or cheaper, from a real manufacturer with a real warranty.
