it's because it doesn't have HDR. which doesn't work in linux with amd anyway. FUCK NVIDIA :up-yours-woke-moralists:

it's better because it supports MST - the displayport protocol that allows daisychaining. the equivalent 2022 monitor costs double the price lmaoooooo I don't game :hentai-free: and HDR is something I have literally never seen or used so I don't fucking care. I got exactly what I wanted.

    Always buy slightly ''outdated'' tech. It works fine so why would you bother paying for super expensive shit?

      Especially displays and graphic cards. Personally I don't give a flying fuck about 4k or whatever, ever since we reached 1920*1080 I've been happy enough and I've stayed there, I barely see a change on higher res anyway.

        4k is such a waste for gaming outside of VR, especially if you don't have displayport or hdmi2.1.

        Keep your fucking pixels. I'd rather play at 120hz.

          I prefer 4k but not for gaming pixels. it's cause I want to fit more code on the screen and fonts are noticeably blurry at 1920x1080p. at 4k, I might have to size up my fonts a little but I can fit more on the screen and avoid eyestrain.

            This is why I like 3440x1440 ultrawide, it's so much screen real estate in 2.35:1 like the film nerds love, obviates multi monitor setups, and it's still fewer pixels to drive than 4k.

        They make the spyware TVs cheaper because they expect to make money off your data over the life of the TV.

        But every TV is dumb if you never connect it to the Internet.

          Don’t doubt for a second that they’re not farming out unregulated spectrum for always-on connectivity that you cannot opt out of without a faraday cage
