I actually use SA on it most of the time because the font is so small on my 1440p 27" monitor. Yeah, I use a 27" 1080p at work and I don't mind it at all. I actually find it much more comfortable to work on than the 17" 1080p display on my laptop.

The GTX 550 has a max resolution of 2560x1600, although that wouldn't explain why you're only getting 1080p.

Factory Factory posted:That's a Korean import screen. Very popular, hell of a good deal and, believe it or not, an IPS screen. You need to be okay with the screen not being pixel-perfect (may be a few dead subpixels, maybe some backlight bleeding, etc.), and you need a shitload of video card to run the screen at native resolution. Otherwise, enjoy! Join the fairly large club. Why do you say this? I have a GTX 560 Ti, which says it has dual link DVI and a max digital resolution of 2560x1600. I wouldn't think that would count as a shitload of video card, but am I missing something?

Taima posted:I'm not hating necessarily, I even had a 27" 1080p a few years ago for a while. Just sayin' that the thread has a less than charitable view on the tech, generally speaking. I switch between a 27" 1080p and a 24" 1080p at work, and while the 24" is definitely noticeably crisper, for general use (text, web, CAD) I don't prefer one over the other. The extra size is nice on the one, the extra crispness is nice on the other.

I have this monitor, relatively new (I think 1.5 years old at most). Thing went dead on me a week ago and I thought it was the power supply because the brick was dead no matter what I plugged it into. The replacement supply came today, and lights up green like you would expect when plugged into the wall. But when I connect it to the monitor, the monitor is still dead and the power supply makes a slow persistent clicking sound. Help?

Zorilla posted:Sounds like it could be a short somewhere in the monitor because the power brick is behaving like one that is being asked to supply too much current. Of course, it could also be a bad power brick being asked to supply a normal amount of current and not being able to. I think the former is more likely, especially if the old power brick doesn't light up at all. Yeah that makes sense, when the supply blew it probably overloaded some internal component(s). Argh. e: Welp, opened it up and there is nothing obviously wrong (no scorch marks, no bulging/broken caps). Can a repair shop even deal with this kind of thing? I assume they would just need to replace the entire PCB. It feels really lovely throwing away this much electronic waste after a year of use.

I can't decide between one of the LG ultrawide's (like this), a 32" 4K like this, or a Korean 40" 4k like this, all around the same price. Completely paralyzed with indecision, I'm sure I'll just end up waiting for the next big thing/next big price drop forever while I continue using my 23" 1080p that's like 5 years old.

I think I might just bite the bullet on the AMH A399U. Either that or spend a couple hundred more for the Samsung 40" JU6500. I can mimic the widescreen 21:9 if I want on the lower half of a 40" 4K.

Zorilla posted:Be aware that this monitor has a plate of tempered glass over the panel. It shows pretty heavy glare in whatever footage I can find of it, so it is most likely not treated with any sort of glare reduction filter. There's a huge thread on another forum (hardforum I think?) with tons of people using the JU6500. Apparently all you have to do to get 4k@60 with acceptable input lag is set it to "pc mode" in the menu. But yeah, I wish the Crossover was still in stock. I'll probably wait for something similar to hit the $700 range.

Zorilla posted:Looks as prone to glare as I was afraid it would be. They shot the review in a pretty dark room and you can still see tons of it with the monitor turned on. I am glad to see there is no power brick though, even if it means the cord isn't detachable. There's a seller with the Wasabi Mango 42" on eBay for $800 which is also tempting. I decided I didn't want to wait for the Crossover to come back down in price.

Zorilla posted:EDXglobal said they were expecting more in Mid-may. Since that message, they restocked and sold out again, so you're probably right. I ended up canceling the order because I changed my mind again.  I realized that having my desk in a Victorian south-facing window (so windows on 3 sides) probably means I should really prioritize anti-glare.

I ended up getting the AMH A399. I'm very happy with it. 39" is a pretty perfect size for 4k (I think I could have gone up to 42" but whatever), the picture quality is fantastic, and the glare isn't as bad as I expected. The big caveat of course is that it uses PWM, but luckily I don't notice it. A lot of people in the overclock.net forums are reporting that it's really easy to take the glass off if the glare does bother you. I might consider it at some point. But overall this thing is amazing value at $600. You can even run it at 3840x1646 to mimic the 21:9 34" ultrawide (with blackbars of course). e: biggest downside is the speakers, they are horrifically bad. Not useable at all.

Zorilla posted:Oooh, and the Crossover 404K just went down to $620. I guess it's still a bit of a toss-up between the Crossover and the AMH if the glass really is that easy to remove, and assuming the housing still somewhat attractive with the glass off. At this point, it's about what's important to you: Yeah, depending on how the 404K is reviewed, I might take the AMH to work and get a 404K for home. Another minor con for the AMH is that the power cord is stupidly short. You basically need an outlet or power strip directly below it.

Cinara posted:I have two Monoprice monitors. One had the power brick fail after ~2 years, easy enough to replace though cost $70. When I was looking into it, found quite a few other people having similar issues with them, though the Korean offbrands are using the same power bricks usually so you won't escape it there either. Monitors have been working great though. That's the same way mine failed, except when the power brick went it took the monitor with it too.

eggyolk posted:I use a Seiki 40" 4K TV for CAD modeling at work and it's not too bad. Catalyst Control Center lets you set up a grid to snap windows to which makes it feel like 7-8 different sized monitors in one. I keep 60% of it allocated to my main task with different windows for secondary things like e-mail, Windows explorer and PDFs. The colors aren't great, the 30hz refresh rate took getting used to, and the brightness is a little wonky, but from 2-3' away it works like a charm. Same, except the 39" AMH instead of the Seiki. Having half the screen for CAD with PDFs/email/Word open in the other quadrants is fantastic and the size doesn't feel too big at all.

Fusion Restaurant posted:What's a good 27 inch 144 hz monitor? It doesn't need to look super stellar, and I'd only be playing at 1920*1080 for the most part anyways. Basically I just want to accurately see where people's heads are and where they are going so I can click on them in FPS's. Why 27"? I just tried both the Asus VG248QE and the Benq XL2411Z, and 24" is perfect for gaming at 1080p. The Asus had better colors I think, but both are fine for the price.

Fusion Restaurant posted:I've got a Nvidia 970. Do you mean it would look bad because of the size, or is there something specific to the monitor? Right now I play on a 28" at 1080p with everything on low for most games where I care about FPS. I was planning on leaving the monitor at the higher resolution and just setting the game to a lower one. I don't know much about this, so maybe this is a bad idea? I felt like that too, I have dual 27" at work and my home monitor that I was gaming on was a 39" 4k monitor. I was really hesitant to go all the way back down to 24". Turns out, it's totally fine. But it is a personal preference thing, obviously. There's no way I could use it for much other than gaming, it feels incredibly cramped for productivity stuff.

Try playing something like Hollow Knight at 144 and then at 60. The difference is astronomical. Although you should be able to pretty readily notice the difference in any first person shooter, too.

Grey Area posted:I've seen people talking about using a 40" 4k TV as a cheap large computer monitor. Is this a bad idea? I'm not sure what the equivalent would be now, but I've been using the 39" 4k AMH A399U for a few years now, it was around $550 when I got it. Realistically I only use about 1/3 of the screen for productivity/web browsing, but I love the versatility of being able to use it as a big screen media interface and being able to set it to ultra wide screen when needed.
