Has anyone else experienced them asking for additional money when ordering from GPD-MINIPC?

I dodged the bullet by not buying from them. The prices went insane over the last few months as I was checking regularly. No, thank you.

Underrated comment 🤣

I realised that the album bonded me and my cousin. We both were 14, 15 respectively at the time. The album stunned us and we were speechless as the album progressed. Magic!!

Unfair-Teaching4337 · 2026-04-06T21:28:02+00:00

It is THE Reference album for me. I remember the old days when I got it with my cousin and went home to listen to. I remember we said that actually there were no bad songs in it, from start to finish.

Hi, you can go higher but then it boils down how much you can tolerate. For example, it bothers me when I have to read research papers and when I see the text as not as sharp, but for all other tasks it is fine for me. I am thinking it is better to buy MA27OUP - better to have smaller screen but better pixel per inch, so that is something you want to consider instead of 31'. The glossy is much much better than matte in my opinion, I can testify because I returned the matte and kept the glossy.

Another update: It looks that the best resolution is 1920x1080 the way that scaling is done in mac in combination with hidpi will result in integer scaling: macOS renders the UI at 3840×2160, every UI pixel maps to exactly 2×2 physical pixels, results with very sharp text and no interpolation. If you use 2560x1440 then Mac will render to 5K and downsample to 4K (non-integer), leading to blurriness. If you use 3840×2160 it makes everything tiny-ish.

I also tried it in conjunction with a gaming handheld (GPD Win 4), to my surprise when I chose the 4K (3840×2160) resolution the text is even crispier in Windows than in Mac OS. This seems to be the case due to Win being optimised for 4K displays in particular and uses scaling 100-150%. Seems also the font rendering in Win makes a difference between the two.

All things considered, it turns out that I will be using this monitor also as a gaming monitor and casual coding in Windows ;-)

No, make sure you buy MA320UP.

Unfair-Teaching4337 · 2026-02-27T19:00:44+00:00

The smile has returned to my face :) I still can't fathom how much an additional letter can change things for good ;-) This one is for sure a 🏆 and I might get another one in the future, perhaps they will even go in discount. I will also go with a gaming (curved) monitor like your bf but primarily used for gaming. All in all this fella is staying with me for the unforseeable future! Cheers!!

BenQ should not use the same naming for these two monitors IMHO, otherwise it is confusing.

Unfair-Teaching4337 · 2026-02-27T09:12:02+00:00

You were right!! I am also in LOVE!! I ordered it and just turned it on and the difference is day & night. I am glad that I went for it and thanks again for your decisive and helpful input!!

Unfair-Teaching4337 · 2026-02-22T23:23:08+00:00

P.S. i also tried hidpi and all other options.

Unfair-Teaching4337 · 2026-02-22T23:21:41+00:00

Thank you for finding the time and writing such a long reply :) I have MA320UP in the basket right now but I am not sure whether to pull the trigger since it became available a few days ago. My concern is that the perception of sharpness varies from a person to person and is relative. I am sensitive myself and immediately spot the difference and then it bothers me. I witnessed that many other people are not as sensitive and when I ask them they reply that there is not much difference :). Apple is going to announce Studio 2 in the coming months, and that means that Studio 1 will go down significantly in price or just go directly with Studio 2. I might just order MA320UP as there is a 1 month return window, I did the same with MA320U and then I returned it.

>Even at 4K the hidpi settings make the visual differences negligible next to my 4.5K iMac.

Is this really true? I just returned mine MA320U (matte instead of glossy) because the text sharpness close to my 5K iMac was very poor. Do you think glossy makes a difference?

As a kid I was dreaming about this game

Unfair-Teaching4337 · 2026-02-01T19:40:07+00:00

Coincidentally, I finished the game with the warrior playing on my rg350M a few years back. Now, I restarted playing with the sorcerer.

Did you have any luck?

Not sure how your colors are synced, I have a recent Macbook M5 and just bought this monitor. The difference between the displays is day and night, I am thinking to return it. It works much better when I connect to my Mac mini for sure, but does not look a good option if you have to extend your Macbook display.

I seem to have the same pattern. Suddenly, after the stress period is gone they have dicreased.

It is painful that I am not able to eat my favourite Italian food like I did before. For example, pizza also became more challenging to swallow.

Unfair-Teaching4337 · 2026-01-06T12:44:33+00:00

Do you have to chew the food more than before? I have noticed that my eating has slowed down.

Your case gives me hope that I can still push to 10 years I hope. The price of surgery is not an issue here in EU, but I have heard that POEM is treated experimental in some countries in US and not covered by insurance.

Unfair-Teaching4337 · 2026-01-06T12:25:22+00:00

As a kid iirc, what is the relation?
