It is a LG 29UM69G

I just got an IPS ultrawide monitor and did the LCD test and noticed it has one visible dead pixel which I can ignore.However, I noticed when I move my head across the monitor I think I can see tiny black pixels. Tiny because they are much more smaller than that dead pixel. And I say I think because I am not sure if they are actually pixels or something up with my eyes.However, I asked someone else to do the same thing - move head around the monitor closely with a red/blue/green color (LCD test) up on the screen and they did report seeing it too.We also noticed if we move really close to the monitor (as close as possible) then the black dots/pixels don’t show.Also, they don’t stay there as we move our head so meaning it goes away as we change our viewing angle.I can't really seem the on a normal window like the browser etc but I can when I run the LCD test from the browser in full screen mode.Also, I tried moving the mouse cursor over to those tiny black dots and then it shows up as white (color of the mouse cursor). This is different compared to that one dead pixel as that continues to show black even when I move my mouse cursor over to it.Anyone know what is this and if it is normal?

Thank you. But does "native resolution" have any effect on this? Example: 1080p on a native 1080p 27 inch 1080p on a native 1440p 27 inch

Thanks, the bit about PPI and pixels sizes makes sense. However in regard to the second point - In this example we are downscaling and not up-scaling right? So does this still hold true? My question earlier: Is there a difference in blurriness if you run 1080p on a native 1080p 27inch /30inch over running 1080p on a native 1440p 27inch/30inch ?

Got it. Now I wonder how does "nativeness" influence sharpness/blurriness when viewing on the same resolution and same display size? Just wondering if you know the technical details out of curiosity ? Also, thanks for the tips

Okay so running 1080p on a native 1080p monitor is always more sharper than running 1080p on a native 2k or 1440p monitor regardless of the display/monitor size right? How does setting the scaling matter here? Can I change the setting to make things less blurry?

I have read that if you use a lower resolution on a larger screen there can be blurriness or low image quality as less pixels are spread over a screen. So as you go above 24 inch it is recommended you have higher resolutions than 1080p. Is there a difference in blurriness on a native 1080p 27inch /30inch over running 1080p on a native 1440p 27inch/30inch ?

Thank you for the info! It will come in handy later when I am selecting a monitor but now I am just trying to understand certain things. So I am still looking for answers to the following questions if possible? I know maybe you skipped it because it is basic but I am new to this. [Let's for example take a 24 inch 16:9 and a 30 inch 21:9 display which have almost the same height - http://www.displaywars.com/24-inch-16x9-vs-30-inch-21x9 Let's say the 16:9 is running 1080p natively and the 21:9 is running 2560×1440. ] What would be the effect of dropping the resolution to 1080p in CSGO on the 21:9? So there will be black bars you said but is it on top or the sides or both? What would be the actual image size (directly measuring CSGO's borders) of CSGO in the dropped resolution of 1080p? Would the actual image size on the 30 inch 21:9 be the same (accounting for the minor fraction difference in height size as per the displaywars link) or smaller or bigger as compared to running CSGO on 1080p on the 24 inch 16:9 ? Also, you said 1080p is blurry on a 1440p screen. How blurry if I may ask ? Is there an image on the internet that shows the difference?

Hello everyone, I am looking for some help here. This is a bit long but I hope it makes sense. I have decided to upgrade my viewing experience from a 15 inch laptop screen to a monitor. It has a GTX 1070 and a 1080p 60hz screen. CPU is Intel Core i7-HQ6700. I initially thought of getting a 24 inch screen but then started considering larger screens. I mostly play CSGO and Rust along with a bunch of different games in RPG, strategy etc. at times. The heads in CSGO are so tiny on my laptop screen In CSGO I only get about 100-130 FPS and in Rust 60 FPS on medium settings at 1080p. I know its the mobile version of GTX 1070 but I think it should go higher but haven't figured out the problem with low FPS yet which i plan to investigate later. Anyway, I have a few questions I have been trying to get answers to and any help and suggestions would be much appreciated. I was interested in getting 30+ inch ultrawides but I wouldn’t be able to afford a 144hz one so I would have to settle for 60hz which is okay as I am used it on the laptop. Problem is I am worried if the FPS drop would be considerable if I run the games at a higher resolution? So I might have to drop the resolution to 1080p when playing those games. Let's for example take a 24 inch 16:9 and a 30 inch 21:9 display which have almost the same height - http://www.displaywars.com/24-inch-16x9-vs-30-inch-21x9 Let's say the 16:9 is running 1080p natively and the 21:9 is running 2560×1440. What would be the effect of dropping the resolution to 1080p in CSGO on the 21:9? Would it be black bars at the top? The sides? What would be the actual image size (directly measuring CSGO's borders) of CSGO in the dropped resolution of 1080p? Would the actual image size on the 30 inch 21:9 be the same (accounting for the minor fraction difference in height size as per the displaywars link) or smaller or bigger as compared to running CSGO on 1080p on the 24 inch 16:9 ? I understand if you run a smaller resolution on a larger screen that means there are less pixels that are spread over the area and hence the image quality will be lower. Is there any other problem you guys can think of? Thank you for taking the time to read and hopefully help me with some information and advice.

Thank you @Daniel644. That makes sense and the website is very useful. ? I understand this better but have more questions in my journey to getting a new monitor. I will post a new topic for the other questions.

So I read that a 27 inch monitor might look smaller than a 24 inch monitor due to the aspect ratio due to the smaller vertical length / height. i have been trying to understand this for a while now. Done a lot of reading and watching videos but I am still confused. This might be silly but am not great at math. I think the height of a 24 inch 16:9 monitor is more than one of a 27 inch 21:9. So, is the height of a 27 inch 21:9 monitor less than the height of a 29 inch 21:9 monitor? Or are they the same? What about the height of a 27 inch 16:9 monitor? Is its height more than a 27 inch 21:9 and 29 inch 21:9 monitor ?

Congratulations guys! A lot more numbers to come I would love to win the Razer Blade! Even though the stealth would be lighter and much easier to carry around I don't see myself getting a razer core soon. That being said the the stealth in itself is amazing! I would love to use the Razer Blade for gaming, entertainment , editing and general entertainment! An I7, GTX 1060, 16 GB RAM, 1080p screen and 1 TB SSD! Wow , that is one hell of a config! I This would be perfect for an amazing gaming experience. It will finally let me play all the games that I have been checking out recently but not able to play as I don't have access to a gaming PC . And finally "Why go Stealth when you can slay your enemies with the Blade"

An amazing phone from what I have seen and read ! For all of you that did not know , there is an opportunity to win it right here in the forums:

My thoughts on the ZTE Axon 7 : A feature rich and premium phone at a very good competitive price! I love the cameras ,the 8 megapixel one in the front is pretty sharp and clear from what I have seen and will help satisfy my selfie needs. The one mega 20 pixel camera at the back looks superb in its quality but add to that the feature to refocus your images after taking them and you get a very good portable camera in your pocket. The awesome front dual speakers with Hi-Fi audio and Dolby ATMOS surround sound are a welcome addition for when I want to watch videos on my phone when I don't feel like using my bulky tablet. This promises a real beautiful treat to my ears. The super fast processor and generous storage should make working on apps,playing games and multitasking a very enjoyable experience. The finish, looks and color provides a lot of aesthetic value and would be a delight to hold and show off in my hands. Overall a beautiful and amazing phone that I would love to use everyday. Goodluck everyone !

This is just sweet! I would love me some 1080 and Gfuel to game mad, crazy mad
