A bunch of people at HardOCP can't stop raving about using 40"/48" Samsung 4k TVs as monitors. The big caveat is that you'd need a video card with HDMI 2.0 in order to output at 4k/60Hz. This sounds amazing for general audio/video/image production work and while I'm pretty happy with my 3007WFP-HC, I am also awfully tempted. My overriding instinct is to wait until someone does this with DisplayPort (and for the price to go down). Has anyone here tried this though?

Yeah, those are the exact things I'm concerned about. I'm also wondering about input lag; I've been using a no-scaler Dell 3007WFP-HC for so long that I'm worried about switching to anything else.

Zorilla posted:Want a 40" 4K monitor for $600? You'll probably want this instead. Being a TV, the Vizio won't have DisplayPort or DPMS support, which means it won't put itself into standby on command like nearly any monitor made after the mid 1990s. drat, are there any reviews on that? I kinda want to get two...

I'm in the same place, but I'm just going to wait for the second generation of 40"+ 4k monitors. Nothing in the first generation is super compelling for me right now.

Any recommendations for a monitor stand (not a mount) for an Acer X34P that doesn't take up so much desk space? I keep trying to search for VESA stands but all I get are results for arms/mounts.

Strong Sauce posted:you want a stand, but not the one that was designed to support the acer x34p? there's no real alternative here unless you go with an arm. the stand has to have a wide enough base where it can support the weight of a monitor that is both heavy and wide. an arm is able to take up less space since it uses the table as the base. why don't you want an arm? I prefer an arm, but I thought my desk (an Ikea Micke) doesn't support it. Digging around Reddit, it looks like if I do some cutting on the backing, it would be fine though:  So I'll take recs for an arm then!

The DPI on a 34" 1080p monitor is pretty bad too. Ah! Yeah, the 1440p one is the one I'm interested in. Thanks for the clarification.

TheFluff posted:The LG 38GL950G? If you want a monitor within the next six months I wouldn't hold my breath. There's no release date and no pricing info available. TFTCentral wrote back in December that the last they heard was that mass production of the panel it'll use wouldn't start until Q2 2019 at the earliest, and many of these high refresh rate monitors have suffered significant delays. It'll probably be out in 2019, but it's hard to tell exactly when. As for price, its smaller brother the 34GK950G has an MSRP of $1400 (more realistically probably around $1200 though), so draw your own conclusions. Did they also downgrade from G-Sync to just being FreeSync? I saw something about that on Reddit, but also, Reddit.

Holy hell, Acer just announced a 43" 144Hz 4k monitor with HDR10 and adaptive sync for ~$1200-$1500. That is an insane price considering the 27" version costs $2k. I wonder what kind of panel they're using. That LG 38" 3840x1600 doesn't sound quite as hot anymore.

Raygereio posted:A screen like that doesn't exist for that price point. If you're willing to go down 60Hz, there's the Acer Predator XB271HK for around 600USD. Yeah, I'd really question the need for a 4k screen at 27". And do you have an RTX 2080 Ti that can drive current gen games at that high of a framerate? That combo of HDR + high refresh rate + *sync is always going to keep prices well above $600, if not $1000, for the foreseeable future.

Paul MaudDib posted:They’re different markets. This will do 175 Hz vs the 120 Hz (4K) of the OLED, and it’s curved, which will be better for desk sitters. But it’s also IPS and not OLED, and about a foot narrower (although again, curve, so the circumferential distance will be closer). That makes total sense. If that OLED TV came in at 42" (4k equivalent of 30" 2560x1600), that would be an insta-buy for me.

TheFluff posted:OLED is still not a good idea for desktop use unless you do literally nothing except play games on the machine. Burn-in has gotten better but pure white in general (like the background of many web pages and programs, and many UI elements) is still really, really bad for OLED. You'll probably burn in the SA forums within a few years. Ah drat, I guess that would complement my burn out of the SA forums as well.

Any suggestions for mitigating burn-in on an OLED TV when using it as a monitor? So far, using an aggressive screensaver/screen off setting, , and hiding the Windows 10 toolbar seem to be the things I have found.

The Big Bad Worf posted:Use the lowest brightness you can tolerate, remove all icons from the desktop, use an all black background and a darker windows theme (that includes a darker / neutral text color). You already got the other stuff down, but also take care to remember that some apps will pause the screensaver timer in use, like games or media players, so don't assume the screensaver will save you every time. Thanks! By brightness, do you mean "Brightness" or "OLED Light"? Assuming you have an LG set with similar terminology. I plan on using this for a while and then switching it to whatever comes out that actually matches my needs (42" 4k/144Hz with HDR would be ideal).

Super nice picture that didn't require much tinkering out of the box. Having more pixels is nice for side-by-side windows, and nicer for cleanly integer scaling old games. You can enable G-Sync for both full screen and windowed and it will be just fine.

After over 10 years on a 30" 2560x1600 Dell, I am convinced that specific PPI is perfect for me. As a result, a 4K/144Hz OLED at 43" would be an instant buy for me.

Are there any display cables that go from mini DisplayPort source to USB-C output? I'm trying to connect my Razer Blade 15 via its mini DisplayPort to a monitor that only supports DisplayPort over USB-C. It seems everything I find on Amazon only supports the opposite direction. From a little further searching: https://www.startech.com/Search?search_term=Bidirectional+mini+DP+to+USB-C It looks like they exist, but are expensive and I'll still have to get a mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter. space marine todd fucked around with this message at 16:28 on May 29, 2020 |
