  1. There is no difference between HD and 4K video - VP9 Youtube - Only 1 place I can see is this video with cactus needles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEwgbKr5R9I)

  2. Windows isn't showing it as HDR supported.

  3. Monitor is factory caliberated but Windows Display Caliberation's seems to say it's not.

  4. I need to zoom most websites to 110%. Earlier I used 90%.

  5. I used to use my 200Nits Moinotr on 20% and one New monitor of 350NITS I am using 100%.

  6. I was expecting "frameless" design but it got a chin and 1 cm bezel on 3 sides.

I am using 27" 4K HDR10 8+2 Bit.

Earlier I was using 24" VA

  1. On 27" screen size, I doubt you would have a sharpness/detail benefit in comparison to 1440p. Especially in online video.
  2. I do not see any mention of HDR support. Apparently it's a 10-bit monitor, but that does not imply it's HDR capable.
  3. I would not know nearly enough about calibration to tell you about this.
    4 More pixels per inch (or per cm, whatever) often mean that e.g. text gets smaller. One of the many reasons I believe in the idea that 2160p screens only make sense (in some scenarios) when they are larger than 27". Otherwise you may start needing scaling even when your eyesight is better than mine.
  4. No idea about brightness specs like that, so I won't comment on that.
  5. That is normal with a lot of monitors out there.
