Samsung Announces Pricing, Availability For New Line Of Curved Monitors

[therealduckofdeath]

Mobile phones are using an unnessary 1440p while desktopbuswra arevstuck on 1080p

You can get a smartphone with a 240p display and you can get a 5k display for your PC.... What's your point exactly?

They should stop making the 1080p resolution all together and switch to 1440p and 4K. Need to get with the times. 1080 needs to die now.

No, it does not. For the average person with average eyesight at the distance that monitors are from the eyes, 1080p is about all they can see pixel-wise.

LOL

there was a time in the past when people screamed :

WOOOOW a FLAT CRT at last from Sony Trinitron ...

all people want perfect FLAT screen that CRT failed to deliver 100%

now today people are going back to stone Age making curved LCD HAHAHAHAHA

LOL

sooooo Funny

the TREND was : IT IS A A A A FLAAAAAAAAAT SCREEN

LG FALTRON

Sony TRINITRON !

LOL

THE REAL QUESTION IS :

HEY SAMSUNG , WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU IGNORING AMOLED PC SCREENS ?

At first I was thinknig who the heck wants a 31½" 1080p monitor? Then I realized the obvious answer is someone who wants to set their monitor more than ~30" from their face they way I have it.

Yeah 27" 1080p is about perfect for me at about 20" with poor eye site. My next monitor will be 1440p, 1600p is preferable but the cost doesn't make sense and there are so few options.

I'll be patiently waiting for the much anticipated 3440 x 1440 120Hz (or higher and will require DisplayPort 1.3 due to bandwidth requirements), IPS (or AHVA), GSYNC (or FreeSync) monitor to be released, thank you very much 😀

1080? Meh my 980s would crush this screen into dust! Bring on 1440 and beyond!

Seriously? It still takes a hefty video card (or two) to run 1440p resolution on modern games at 60+ fps with high quality settings. Besides the fact that 1440p monitors are still not dirt cheap except the no-frills Korean brands. It will be many years before 1440p is main stream and replaces 1080p as main stream (read: in every household).

How do you think market dynamics works? 1440p is only expensive now because it doesn't sell as much due to the economy of scale being so high on 1080p screens. You get rid of the 1080p resolution and the sales will shift mostly to 1440p and 2K, giving them the economy of scale that 1080p enjoyed and driving their price down significantly. That will correspondingly have a knock on effect on the economy of scale for higher end graphics cards.

Why do you think that PC sales are declining, we haven't had buyers of PC hardware push toward better computing in anything other than the price/performance of SSDs since the Core2Duo/Vista and the Nehalem/Sandy Bridge era, and that's a long time ago in hardware advancements land.
