Die Regierung sollte #Pressefreiheit stärken, sie tut das Gegenteil.
#Journalisten bekommen keine Informationen, sobald sie auch nur #Frontal oder #Monitor erwähnen! Selbst das #IFG wird ignoriert, der #Sudhoff - Bericht sowie die Nebenjobs der #Politiker nicht veröffentlicht.
#NIUS dagegen wird von ihnen gemocht. Klar, Hofberichterstattung.

The new monitor is just *amazing*. Exactly what I hoped the other to be. Great clarity, great definition, great colours, good audio.
I could not wait to try it. Such a difference from the other one.
I'm not sure I'll keep those two monitors on my desk - a 27" is large enough. The 24" will probably be a great addition to my office's desk 🙂

Finding information on the Internet has become increasingly difficult. I look for monitors and information about monitors -> all I find are references to gaming or movie playback. And I wonder: is there really no one left who spends many hours in front of a screen and looks into visual comfort, text rendering quality, etc.?

The result: I bought (at a good price) a 24" Dell Full HD monitor, trusting the widespread opinion that a 24" Full HD is “more than enough” - but those were posts related to video and gaming. I like the color and image rendering, but the text... it's just not good enough. It feels like going back 15 years. I probably should have gone for at least a QHD, but even in that category, all I can find are gaming-oriented models. Office-grade monitors are mostly special order, and there’s very little information out there.

I’ll try to adapt to this one – at least it has decent audio.

The screen is also horribly dirty. I opened it (after buying a set of long security Torx bits). Its electronic circuit is quite simple, as it’s a monochrome monitor, yet it is not very nice to work on: you have to disassemble almost everything to check components. I was suspicious of the capacitors and the TDA1170 that controls the vertical deflection. #repair #IBM #monitor

480Hz monitors are here…

And apparently gamers really see a difference. Here’s another review of another 480Hz monitor

Playing at 480hz mode sort of feels like you’re cheating. The mouse feels like an extension of your hand–Just zipping around, rotating, aiming. It’s fantastic.

When playing 3rd person action games, RTS’s, and side-scrollers, the motion clarity of 480hz was very obvious. It feels like an image is being pushed and pulled across the monitor, not rendered. It looks sort of, perfect, sometimes in a very mundane way.

Contrary to what I was expecting, FPS’s at 480hz mode are not noticeably smoother than 144/240hz! This was surprising.

The premium end of the mobile world is at 120Hz and so are most of the higher end TVs. Computer monitors are still squarely stuck at 60Hz. I now believe that I will not be upgrading any of my computer monitors until 120Hz becomes more the norm while everyone chases 480Hz.

#Monitor: Die AfD ist eine gesichert rechtsextremistische Partei - das hat das Bundesamt für #Verfassungsschutz (BfV) heute mitgeteilt.
