minus-square@folkrav@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•2 years agoHigh-DPI I just don’t understand. I tried. Yeah, it’s pretty, but that’s all it is for me. More content on screen > sharper text for me, thank you. Higher refresh rates and VRR are pretty neat though. Just at 75Hz I already feel the difference pretty clearly when I go back to my 60Hz laptop.

HDR

immediately thought of that too
what’s HDR?
High Dynamic Range. Compatible software, computer and monitor can display a greater range of brightnesses.
Why does everyone like it so much?
I’d tell you… if I had it!

Flashing problem?
Too bright in the dark.
