feel no compulsion to discuss this further.

Peter, how long have you had your present monitor?

About a eighteen months, more or less. And it pretty much fits my needs.
I am not responding to the troll on that subject.

It's just that the first Retina display emerged in 2012 and I was
fairly sure we had discussed your experiences of deciding on a new
monitor since that date.

that was for a macbook pro, and actually, the first retina display
emerged in 2010, on the iphone 4.

he was considering a display for his desktop.

the first retina imac came out just 3 years ago, in october 2014, later
updated to a wide gamut dci-p3 display a year later, in 2015.

Still comfortably before PeterN made his decision about a replacement
monitor.

he was looking at a separate display, not an all in one mac, which
means he didn't consider retina displays.

Then why did you drag in Retina displays?

So when you wrote "I evaluated a lot of monitors, including some
branded by Apple, before I made my decision." and nospam replied "you
did so long before there were retina displays and also received bad
advice. your conclusion is therefore not valid" he was just pulling a
reply out of his arse.

nope.

i recall he mentioned evaluating it prior to october, 2014.

And made his decision several months fter that date.

based on evaluations made before that date.

I'm glad you were there as a witness. Afterall its not everyone who
would make a decision and would then put it into effect only after
several months while ignoring the subsequent new products and
developments.

as i recall, he only evaluated the older very glossy displays, not the
more recent ones that weren't as glossy.

Which are still too glossy for me and probably for PeterN.


Indeed.
