Pixel-Perfect Monitors So You Don’t Miss A Thing

A long time ago, when screen resolutions were low and computers were slow, computers produced sloppy shapes with lots of pixel shifting. For instance, in gaming, the Atari 2600 console could display a maximum of 160×192 pixels. Many of us have memories of low-resolution computers in school so we could watch ourselves die of dysentery on the Oregon Trail after typing tests. Nowadays, with advanced technology, monitors have pixel counts in the thousands, with a bevy of other features. Navigating these features can be a challenge, so we put together some advice and this shortlist of some of the cool monitors on the market right now.

Choosing the Right Monitor

There are a number of new and innovative monitor display products and technologies available. Like other hardware, monitors differ in several specifications such as size, resolution, panel type, refresh rate, anti-glare coating, and so on. In addition to Ultra HD displays, which can light up about 15 million pixels, some monitors offer 3D imaging or use sensors to calibrate color for sharp and clean images instinctively. Others have curved surfaces that produce spectacular wrap-around images. Others are designed for use in combination with a stylus or are even touchscreen. The features your need will depend on why you are buying. Do you want a great gaming monitor? Are you looking for something that will help with your digital art? Do you want to stream movies or other media? You need to figure out what you need it for and compare those features with your budget when looking to buy computer monitors. It’s essential to do research on choosing the right monitor, so you don’t miss a thing.

Here are four high-end, pixel-perfect monitors for your home or office layout.

Dell UltraSharp 27 HD 5K

Dell UltraSharp 27 HD 5K offers a 5K display with almost 15 million pixels at its disposal (5120×2880 resolution). This type of display can put up to 1.07 billion colors on your screen and cover about 99% of the standard RGB (sRGB) for the remaining color fidelity. It offers a pair of DisplayPort inputs for accessing that lofty resolution.

Most interestingly, though, they have a slightly lower video response time of 8-millisecond (most monitors have a video response time of 4 milliseconds).

Irrespective of whether you are looking to display separate windows on the screen or you’re into image editing, the ability to display extraordinary detail comes at a cost. The Dell UltraSharp 27 HD 5K monitor is priced at $2,500.

Sharp’s 31.5-in. PN-K322B

Sharp’s 31.5-in. PN-K322B comes with a sense of better touch. Why should touch screens be restricted to tablets and phones while you can use your finger (or a stylus) on your desktop as well?

Sharp’s 31.5 high-end display offers a high resolution of 3840×2160, which is four times higher than a typical HD screen. The manufacturing company features this in its advanced thin-film technology, which uses oxides of Zinc (Zn), gallium (Ga), and indium (In) to produce screen pixels of almost one-quarter the size of standard picture components.

This type of monitor comes with a felt-tipped stylus that is not pressure-sensitive but can make tapping, sketching, or writing on the screen seamless just like using a pen on paper. The monitor’s flexible stand lets you position it anywhere at a viewing angle between 25⁰ and full vertical for easy finger work and traditional landscape material view. It also includes software for working with Mac computers and Windows.

HP Sprout

We are kind of cheating with this one, but it still counts as a monitor. The all-in-one Windows PC acts as a creative center for a new 3D era that enables you to convert solid objects to 3D models using a 3D camera of 14.6-megapixels, a Digital Light Processing micro-projector (DLP), a touch mat, and a 23-inch touch display.

Sprout also contains an 8GB RAM, 1TB hard drive, core i7 processor (3.2GHz), as well as a high-efficiency graphics card with a memory of 2GB.

Sprout enables you to shift colors, stretch an element, shrink and rotate an object, and add a background or text. Its direct price ranges around $1,900.

HP Zvr

HP Zvr monitor uses rhythmic, splitting glasses to transition you virtually to an atmosphere of 3D graphics. Instead of displaying a high-definition movie, the Zvr monitor lets you relate with 3D representations and operate them using a tethered stylus. The 23-inch monitor uses 4-infrared cameras to locate the position of the stylus and the viewer’s head. Its response time (5-milliseconds) makes up for actual action but needs a supercomputer with high memory and powerful graphics to work properly.

Besides picking images on the screen, bringing and moving them nearer for a perfect sight, you can also look beyond the surface. A replication of the human heart displays an intense view of veins, valves, and chambers that seem to rise off the display. The monitor reacts to minimize latency and can therefore share 3D models to a smaller screen. This is a glimpse of the wild future of interactive entertainment, and we are here for it!

Monitoring Our Progress

We have come a long way from the days of Oregon Trail the green, huge pixels of the old monitors of the time. Display technology is still growing and changing, with features that feel almost science fiction.  These monitors will give you exact projected details of high resolution on your monitor and better gaming or working experience. Make sure to choose one that fits your needs and budget, but if you can relish in the coolness of some of the technology then we definitely recommend it.
