Windows 10: Which Monitor?

Since issue #4993 I can say it's annoyed me so much that I'm tempted to buy a new monitor. - I was already tempted but I wasn't ever able to get it down to one particular.

Notes:
-Needs to be good from a far away distance (Up to about 6ft)
-Needs to be reliable
-Preferably with DVI, HDMI, Display port if possible.


I've narrowed it down to a few I quite like the look of;
Samsung S27D590CS 27 inch Curved LED Monitor: Amazon.co.uk: Computers Accessories
27" Curved LED
Advantages:
Curved
27"
Speakers inbuilt

Disadv:
No DVI
Not flush to edge of screen
Not height adjustable




LG 25UM55 25-Inch IPS LCD Monitor (21:9, 5M:1, 250 cd/m2, 2560 x 1080 HDMI/DP): Amazon.co.uk: Computers Accessories
25" IPS LCD
Advantages:
Ultra Widescreen
Speakers inbuilt
Flush to edge of screen

Disadv:
Only 25"?
Possible Res issues?

I would contemplate getting the 29" if I/yourselves didn't deem 25" to be great from a bit of distance.

Controlling which monitor displays which content by default (why isn't it a setting?)

Display drivers are up to date and has absolutely nothing to do with the problem. If you actually read the problem you would know the issue is related to a lack of proper settings in Windows itself. This is all normal behavior for the average user and
that makes it even more of a problem that there is no setting for it.

Nvidia control panel can do quite a bit, but it can't control the appearance of windows dialog boxes, where a program appears when it opens, or the location of the notification bar, or override programs set to only go full screen in the main display. That's
the job of the operating system.

Hello,

The issue might be caused due to Display drivers not being updated. I suggest you to update the Display Adapter driver by following the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.
• Expand Display Adapters.
• Right click on the driver and select Update Driver Software.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to update the driver.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

Thank you.

 

Are you buying a computer monitor or a TV? From 6 feet I'd rather be looking into a 50" screen, but that's me ....

 

I have a 27" ViewSonic and I love it. No speakers so I can use separate ones with a sub-woofer.

It's like this one:
Amazon.com: ViewSonic VA2703-LED 27-Inch LED-Lit LCD Monitor, Full HD 1080p, 3.4ms, DVI/VGA, VESA: Computers Accessories

 

I get that, I have a tv that's 23" and I can see it clearly from 4ft ish I guess so it's no major issue. Unfortunately I couldn't get a TV due to the fact of flicker and such and where it'll be a 50" wouldn't fit.

The distance is UP-TO, meaning I could be closer at times but at other times I may have to be far away - 6ft.

 

That brings back memories. My Father bought me a 19 inch CRT ViewSonic with a glass screen. It was pretty nice back in 2002 lol.

 

They still make good monitors, IMO. Mine is perfect for what I need right now.

 

Unfortunately not a known brand in the UK, therefore it'd cost a fortune to ship whereas LG, Samsung, Benq? Asus, Dell, HP etc are cheaper

 

Good point..*Wink

 

I have an LG 23" LED backlit and it works great. Believe or not Dell makes some good monitors as well.

 

I don't know what distance you're referring to, but the 25" Ultra-wide is pretty small vertically.

The real one to get is the 34" Curved Ultrawide, although it's a bit pricier at $1299 USD. (you can probably find it cheaper in other locations).

Therefore the 27" Samsung is the closest match?
I don't think I could afford $1299 for a screen!

 

The 27" will be significantly taller because it's not as wide as the Ultrawide (the 25" is diagonal measurement, so the wider it is, the shorter the height... The ultrawides are basically the size of two standard monitors wide.
