With those bezels I feel like it is pretty obvious is made for 3 monitor setups and such, it would look pretty awesome IMO.

Fair point.

 

That would look pretty beautiful even in 2 monitor set ups

If this is the same panel as my U2515H I really like it, much better looking white than my "100% srgb" 23"... Also I love the size for multi monitor or someone who needs something relatively compact for small desks or frequent moving. And text is still 1.5X larger than my 12.5" 1080p laptop so I don't find that an issue.

25" 1440?

No thnx

It's glorious. Just can't sit quite as far away.

I sit right in front of my monitor and 24" 1440p is fucking terrible. I can barely see anything on screen.

24" or 25" 1440p?? Are you talking about a 1080p already being small or do you already have a small 1440p display? Maybe I can thank my youthful eyes, but after a month or so of use I have adapted (didn't take that long just how long I've had it) and think it looks "normal". It's honestly only 117.5ppi vs 109ppi for a 27"… if you are super uncomfortable with 1440p 25" you won't be very comfortable with 1440p 27" either. If 27" already feels like a stretch then stick to larger options I guess but it's nice to have variety.

Gaming in 4k is like this. I feel like I'm so close to the goddamn thing to be able to read shit in h1z1. It's glorious otherwise.

I sit pretty close to my Dell P2416D 24' 1440p and it's perfectly fine for me. Must be personal taste!

The screen would look great, don't get me wrong but everything would be minuscule.

U2515h masterrace.

Icons and all are very visible for me and gaming on it is 10/10 would recommend 

Hey there. You are looking mighty fine today, have my virtual cookie!  :ph34r:

It is indeed the same panel as used in the U2515H; it's a new LG panel that allows for the extremely thin bezel.

I was thinking hmm not bad my graphics card could handle 1440p - 3 monitors! No nu-uh not happening It would burn alive.

All these people complaining about the 25 inch screen and I'm sitting here using 21.5 inch screens.

Please don't quote full posts. What do you mean by fake bezels? 

 

It means when you turn it on there is 1 cm of extra black screen. I got scammed by that on my own LG monitor
