#1440p

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Actually fucking tired of my 4K monitor. If I could go back in time, I'd probably just get a 1440p monitor. I can't see that many pixels and when stuff doesn't get scaled properly (like running Windows software under Wine, for example) it's unusably tiny. Fuck "retina" displays or whatever.

Heard #GNOME are trying to replace #Cantarell with #Inter as their default #UI #typeface?

Would hate to see Cantarell go. It has great #character, and hits some really right spots in terms of #metrics and #hinting on medium #dpi

The venerable #DejaVu and #Liberation families never really looked right for me, (and neither did #Qt's font rendering under 1080p, FWIW) - but as far as #FOSS fonts go, #Cantarell on #720p-#1440p IPS is up there with what #Georgia and #Verdana were on #480p-#600p #CRT

I think I'm going to give up on 27" 1440p 144Hz #Freesync displays. Every single one I bought (new) started flickering after some use. That's 3 units, one of which was repaired and developed the same issue a month later, so it's like 3.5 units.

Is the whole industry like this nowadays? What do you use?

I do still need to test my GPU and DP cable (I use the one that came with each unit, so I think it's sane to assume it'll support all of the monitors features...
