    What is the difference between the 1200x , 1440x, and the 1680x except for their real estate?

    Difference i mean by the temps output from the gpu, brightness, and etc.

    Nothing noticeable that would effect performance. All the brightnesses are pretty much the same. Except for the ****ty Sec3550 Samsung screen. It has a very low brightness level.

    If they're both LG's I wouldn't think so.

    Mainly just real estate. Nothing else is affected dramatically or enough to notice/measure.

    You're correct in that on the Dell website they're rated higher, but I don't think it's 20% more. In any case, you can raise the brightness in the nvidia control panel higher if max brightness isn't bright enough.
