Hello everyone!
Back in 2015 a friend of mine gave me a super awesome Dell p2415q monitor.
I love this monitor so much. I find 24" the perfect size where you can see everything without having to move your head.
For now, the monitor still works and everything is mostly OK. I’ve had some issues since day 1, but since the monitor was likekly “off the truck”, I could never really RMA/warranty it; but that’s OK.
Some of the issues have been getting a bit worse, and sometimes certain things on the display (namely oldschool games) could cause weird flickering issues if I don’t mess with the sharpness.
I like to be prepared, and I’m starting to worry about the future when I will need to replace this display (plus, I have a good budget these days, it would be nice to have multiple of the same display, and have some in storage for the future). I hope I have a handful of years left in my monitor. But I’m worried!
I was doing some research and it looks like most of the display manufacturers have moved away from creating 24" 4K displays. I got pretty discouraged looking around online. I don’t really want to move to 27/32" displays just to keep 4K. I love HiDPI displays. I run Windows at 175% scaling which is a nice mix of clear text, but still more screen space than standard 1080p.
Does anyone have any leads on how one might buy a monitor like that? It looks like there’s 1 option, but it’s nearly exclusive to markets in Asia.
I’m based in Canada. But I’ve started pondering how serious I am about wanting a new display. I’ve toyed with the idea that maybe if I found a reliable lead (ie: “oh yeah! you can get that in a store in shenzen. here’s the details”) maaaybe I would be crazy enough to have that be a motivator for a trip across the pond.
This thread was long and maybe all over the place, so to recap: I really want the peace of mind that I can still buy a 24" 4K monitor. Do y’all have any ideas?
I was doing some testing, and I think I could either go with a 2560x1440 24" monitor with some scaling. Or I could bite the bullet and go bigger. But I really like the 24" size.
I stumbled on this monitor but it’s so pricey on Amazon. That’s what led me to finally consider maybe 1440 is where I have to be if I truly can’t do 27" ProArt Display PA24US｜Monitors｜ASUS Canada I realize it’s pricey probably because of that built in color calibator camera. Which is a feature (/gimmick?) i don’t need.
