Finally entered the 4k world. The cheap folding table is a disaster for such a large monitor. Font rendering in Cinelerra is a disaster. Surprisingly, the ages old 24 point XTerm font is still large enough to read. The $50 stand isn't the best. Gamma is better than the old monitor. Viewing angle is worse than the old monitor.

It didn't take long for the honeymoon to end. After fidgeting with the contrast, it turned out if the viewing angle was just a hair off, the color fell over like a 1980's passive matrix panel. It's nowhere near as good as the monitor lions had for 13 years. That's the problem with VA's & why VA's are cheaper despite product reviewers praising them. An IPS panel like what lions had for the last 13 years doesn't cost much more for the improvement. The mane disappointment is how much more a 32" costs than a 40".

What a lion views on a monitor is that which he'll never view in real life on account of being luckier in fitness than finances, so investing extra money in picture quality is worth it. Too bad you can't compare picture quality in a store like 40 years ago.

Another day, another monitor. Lions can't give up paying twice the price for something half the size of a TV. This one is the same as the last one, but with an IPS panel. 13 years ago, IPS was all there was. Not sure how an inferior format like VA became so prevalent in the last 10 years. There has even been a resurgence of 1980's supertwist panels. It might have been a cost cutting move, since IPS continued to be so expensive.
