REVIEW – ViewSonic VX2475Smhl-4K with UHD PLS panel

We’ve seen monitors reach fairly gargantuan sizes recently, with an increasing number of 32” and even some 40” models. For some users, though, a monitor of around 24” is a very comfortable size. And when it comes to exceptional pixel densities, it is these relatively small ‘4K’ UHD models which really stand out. The Dell ... Read More
 
REVIEW – Dell UP2516D and UP2716D – wide gamut WQHD monitors

REVIEW – Dell UP2516D and UP2716D – wide gamut WQHD monitors

Dell’s UltraSharp series is generally very highly regarded amongst consumers, something echoed by our own largely positive experiences with models in the range.

Aesthetically the models look quite similar to the U2515H and U2715H with a few ... Read More

REVIEW – AOC G2460PF and G2770PF FreeSync gaming models

But for variable frame rate environments, where the frame rate of the game doesn’t match up with the refresh rate of the monitor, things can quite literally get a bit choppy. If ... Read More
 
REVIEW – Samsung U24E850R, U28E850R and U32E850R

REVIEW – Samsung U24E850R, U28E850R and U32E850R

We’ve previously introduced the ‘UE590’ (Series 5) models which combine the 3840 x 2160 ‘4K’ UHD resolution with Adaptive-Sync (i.e. AMD FreeSync support). Samsung are also embellishing their Series 8 line-up with some new ‘UE850’ models; the U24E850R (LU24E85KRS), U28E850R (LU28E85KRS) and U32E850R (LU32E85KRS). The two smaller models are essentially very similar on the inside ... Read More
