According to the specs for the 690 there are two DL DVI-I ports and one DL DVI-D port on back.

Tab8715 posted:Is it capable of 60hz? Do any games support this resolution? The press release doesn't specify the hz but it should be able to run at 60hz if you're connecting via DisplayPort. If it manages to ship with HDMI 2.0 then you'll be able to get 60hz via that as well but I don't know if it will be complete in time to ship with this monitor, if it only has HDMI 1.4 then you'll be stuck at 30hz over that connection. All modern games should support any resolution since they just ask your video card what resolutions it supports. Your performance will probably be abysmal but it should run. If you want to get a rough idea of what kind of performance you can expect with today's hardware Anandtech includes 5760x1200 resolution in a lot of their recent GPU reviews. If you take those results and multiply by 0.83 it should at least put you in the ballpark for FPS on a 4k display.

dog nougat posted:My research indicates that it may end up being more difficult to use a high gamut display to make art for digital mass media (I really have no clue at this point, which it's why I'm going back to school). Would a regular 27" UltraSharp be better suited to my needs? High gamut monitors are geared more toward the print/textile/phsical media industries. If you're going to be focusing on digital media then high gamut won't really do you much good since your target audience isn't going to have fancy high gamut monitors to view your work on.

I was going to pick up a roku, but her tv doesn't have an hdmi port, and looking at the specs anything the roku puts out over 480p seems to be via hdmi. So should I just use the Wii or is there something I'm missing? If her TV is old enough to not have a HDMI port then 480p is probably good enough for her. If component is her only option you're going to have a hard time finding something that will stream 720p due to HDCP. Krailor fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Aug 7, 2013 |

Captain Postal posted:I'm looking to upgrade to a new dell 30" U3014 since they're 30% off this week, keep one 20" in portrait orientation next to the 30", and the other 20" on my laptop. Is it worth waiting for the new 4k monitor? I would not spend $3500+ for the monitor, but if there is something new at the top end of the market, will Dell lower their price on the now 2nd tier U3014? Or since the 4k 32" will be double the price of the 30", are these going to be pitched at different market segments so there would be no reason to discount? The only way Dell would significantly lower the price of the U3014 would be if there was a 4k display from a major manufacurer that was priced competively to the U3014. I don't see this happening anytime soon. 30" Monitors currently fall into the following price tiers: 4k High End (Asus): $3500 2k High End (U3014): $1000 - $1200 2k Discount (Korean Specials): ~$600 Then you also have the outliers like the 4k 39" Seiki for $700 that's limited to 30Hz. In the near future you probably won't see much movement on the price of the high end 4k monitors which means that there isn't much reason to move the price of the 2k monitors. If monitor yields start getting better then we might see a slight decrease in the price of the 2k displays but propbably nothing significant. We also might start seeing some 4k Korean knock-offs but they would probably still be priced at $1500 - $2000 and most likely be limited to 30Hz.

AMD only just started supporting this feature on their newest, Rx 200 (Volcanic Islands) based, cards. The 290 and 260 lines of cards are the only ones they currently make using this new architecture, all of their other cards are just re-bagged/up-clocked versions of older cards that don't support this new tech.

NihilCredo posted:Does anybody play games at 1080p on a 2560x1440 or 3840x2160 screen? Does it look remotely blurry or otherwise unpleasant? 1080p on a 1440p screen will be a little blurry since there isn't a straight upsample path. However 1080p on a 2160p screen should be perfectly fine since it's just doubling the pixels. If you go with a 1440p screen and your video card can't keep up you could move down to 720p which should give you a similar straight doubling of pixels as 1080p on 2160p.

Incredulous Dylan posted:I picked up an LG 34UM65 at Best Buy yesterday for $570 (price-matched Amazon). I'm seriously impressed by how this thing displays blu rays and I think it may even beat out my Sharp Q+ 70" for a cinematic experience! I was just wondering if there were any other ultra-wide monitors I should be checking out for ~$1000 or less that could beat this thing while it is in the returns period. I don't plan to be moving to 4K in the next few years so I am really just looking for the best picture possible. Any ideas? There's the 1440p version of your monitor, 34UM95, which runs around 8-900. The next step up from there would be either 4k or a curved 1440p ultra wide but those are closer to 1200.

Smashing Link posted:Does anyone have experience with pico/nano/mino LED projectors for light-duty home entertainment purposes? In other words, I am not going to complain if the resolution is not equal to a 4k monitor or even 1080p (720p would be nice though). We are moving to a new house and want to have a screen-free downstairs for aesthetic reasons, but being able to hide a little projector on a shelf somewhere and put out reasonable looking video off of an Apple TV would be nice. The biggest issue with pico projectors is the low amount of light they put out. For reference the one you're looking at is 450 lumens while a standard home theater projector is in the 3000-3500 range. Depending on how far away the projector is from the wall you want to display it on a pico projector might be totally washed out unless the room was very dark. Just to be clear you don't want a screen in the room but you're still going to have a blank wall for the projector to use? The real answer is to get one of these.

ImmovableSquid posted:I'm trying to figure out a problem that the OP doesn't cover. YouTube video of a video game, watching a bluray video or using my PS4 (all hooked up to a Samsung HDTV I've been using) all look fine; but playing PC games looks like (comparative) crap. I don't think it's the PC hardware, the rendering options on some of the games I'm playing are maxed out, but I'm still experiencing stuff like occasional screen tearing. Obviously my HDTV can display what I'm looking for (evidenced by the YouTube videos of the same games I play) but for those games I'm generally running at close to max settings. What's missing here? Do I need to invest in a better video card to render above the HDTV's pixel resolution (720p) and downsample (if that's even a thing?) or do some other kind of graphics card trickery? Or is the problem that my HDTV is kind of crappy with its max resolution of 720p, and I need something that can handle the output of my video card when it renders a game? 720p isn't much in the way of pixels these days. What processor/video card does your computer have? Also try turning on vsync, that's one of the tricks the consoles use to provide consistent performance (along with internally rendering at a lower res).

Cinara posted:Has anyone heard of a Korean or any cheaper offbrand 34" 1440p ultrawide yet? Really want to pick one of these up for work but the pricetag is still a bit painful. The non-curved LG one is down a hair under $800 which is better, though I am still not sold on if the curve is good or not. Crossover makes a 1080p 21:9 monitor but I haven't seen any of the Korean brands with a 1440p model. My guess is that the production runs of these panels isn't big enough to provide enough b-stock to support a 3rd party market in them.

It's a Korean panel with a lovely stand but for $220 it's loving unbeatable considering you can buy 2 or even 3 for the cost of anything comparable. FYI - The $199 version is the off-grade monitor which means that you're playing screen roulette. You can look at the comments on Newegg for good examples of what to expect.

ElehemEare posted:I have an ancient Samsung SyncMaster 940BW from 11 years ago, being fed by a 970. This seems wasteful. It kind of depends on what resolution you want to go with. If you're happy to stick with 1080p that you have at work then really any IPS monitor from Dell/HP/LG/Asus/any other manufacturer you've heard of will be pretty much identical and should come in way under your budget. If you go this route you'll probably want to stick with something in the 21-23" range, they make 1080p monitors larger than that but at the distances most people sit at the lower DPI of larger 1080p monitors means you start noticing the pixels more lowering the perceived visual acuity. Pairing one of these with a 970 for gaming will let you turn everything up to 11 and still run smooth (60ish FPS). If you want to step it up a notch and move to a 27" 1440p the best option is really getting one of the Korean imports from ebay. This would be either a QNIX QX2710 or a Crossover 2795QHD. The price fluctuates around 250-325 US with the QNIX on the lower end and the Crossover on the higher end. There are two differences between the monitors that justify the higher price for the Crossover: 1. Newer QNIX monitors can't actually overclock, they report running at a higher refresh but are actually dropping frames. 2. The QNIX uses PWM dimming while the Crossover does not. PWM dimming means that when you turn down the brightness instead of actually lowering the brightness of the backlight the monitor strobes the backlight to achieve the same effect. This can cause headaches and increased eye strain in some people, while it doesn't bother others. It looks like the current monitors you use at work use PWM dimming so if they don't bother you this probably won't either. If you don't care about overclocking your monitor and you don't notice any eye strain from your current work monitors then there's no reason not go with the QNIX. If you're willing to roll the dice a little bit you could go for an Off-grade QNIX, these are usually around 200 US but might have a couple of dead pixels or very minor discoloration somewhere on the screen. This is a good option if you want to save some money, it might sound bad but realistically you probably won't notice either of these issues unless you looking for them on a totally white screen. At 1440p on a 970 you might have to turn a few settings down from max in newer games to keep high framerates. The next step up from there would either be a GSync/Freesync 1440p, 21:9 1440p, or 4k; none of which will fit in your budget or be worth it with a 970.

Daviclond posted:Just ordered a Qnix 2710 from a Korean ebayer but I may have hosed up. The listing was marked as "off-grade" and was pretty cheap - I figured it didn't matter because all those Qnix monitor are based on off-grade panels. Nope. This is specifically an even more off-grade panel that must have failed even more QC tests than usual It usually means that there's some sort of minor discoloration on the screen somewhere or some dead pixels. You can take a look at the reviews for it on Newegg for a pretty good idea of what to expect. Some of the issues might sound bad but really most of them you probably wouldn't even notice if you weren't looking for it. My theory is that the off-grade ones are just monitors that were originally sold as 'perfect pixel' that ended up getting returned due to some minor issue.

I just got a Crossover 2795 and it's got a weird issue that I haven't seen before. When I first start it up the colors are off, example. After 5 or so min it corrects itself and the screen goes back to normal. The monitor isn't overclocked. I've tried with both a 970 and 750ti, neither of which are overclocked. I've tried changing the refresh rate and resolution but that doesn't change anything. I've already started the return process but I was wondering if anyone else had seen this before or have any other ideas.

This doesn't have anything to do with the video card; it's because DisplayPort 1.2 doesn't have enough bandwidth to push dual 4k@60Hz (effectively 4k@120Hz). DisplayPort 1.3 will allow this but nothing has that yet.

All of the 27" Crossover monitors come in that same generic box. What's printed on the box doesn't necessarily line up with the actual specs of the monitor inside, for that you'll need to refer to what the seller actually lists for the monitor you're buying. You really want to make sure you're buying the 2795 QHD; this is NOT the same thing as the 27 QHD or 27 QW or 2730 MD or 27 QWDP or 2763 AMG.
