Well it has multiple inputs so you could treat it as two separate hardware displays, although I don't know if it'll give the proper resolution as an option, or if it could be forced. Course then using the screen as a single screen might be an issue then if some software doesn't span properly.

Spiderjelly posted:I'd like to get a second monitor for reading webpages and working on MS Word documents in portrait mode. I do most of my work in Word, so ideally, I'd like a monitor that can display documents up to A4 size in a 1:1 ratio, along with all the Word toolbars. In other words, I want to be able to see on the screen a life-sized version of what would be printed out, without scrolling. What do I need to accomplish this?

There's DisplayPort hubs now apparently, but hell if I know if they'll work with your machine. vvvvv didn't even know daisy chainable DP monitors have been out

Just double checked and it's the U2414H that can daisy chain, not the P2414H. So yeah you'd still need a hub and cross your fingers if you want to try the native DP route. Or maybe you can buy the U and hook up the P to that? (But still need crossing of fingers cause I have no clue if DP daisy chaining works on your MBA.

Yeah a few of us have mentioned that screen now and then over the last few pages, Dell has one coming too btw. In my case i want more space (...which I can get with 1440p cause I'm coming from 1920x1200) but don't really want multiple screens, or have to deal with UI scaling to make a 4K display usable on a smaller display* (which would also reduce the effective workspace anyway). And according to a thread over on MacRumors, some guy with an iMac showed it working over Thunderbolt 1 at full resolution and refresh, so presumably/hopefully that means it works over DisplayPort 1.1 too. Not a huge deal but a nice plus for anyone with older machines/video cards without 4K support. *I may take that back if 5120x2160 screens come out and I get a beefy enough computer.

KingEup posted:I am so confused about what to buy right now. I hate matte screen coatings but love the 34 inch 21:9 aspect ratio monitors but there are no glossy ones on the horizon. And this post is really interesting. Guy says it works as a KVM with Thunderbolt connected to his Mac and USB on his PC (with a driver is the PC doesn't freak out when switching apparently). Also the US page is up, with $999 as the MSRP. If you have a Fry's nearby they might have it in stock (my local one in CA does) and hopefully on display.

Vaguely similar situation here with a TV on an HTPC, seems like the PC reverts to 640x480 or thereabouts when the TV turns off and doesn't return to 1080p when turned on, unless I exit Windows Media Center and go to the desktop. Is there a way to lock output via software or is the only way a receiver or one of those HDMI dongle things?

Don Lapre posted:If you need a ups many of them have this functionality as well. As far as the original question of plugging in stuff without enough plugs, I have a UPS with power strips*, some on battery backed ports and others on plain surge protected ports. Important stuff that'd screw up (or necessary for use like display/network stuff) when power dies goes on battery backed up strips, non vital stuff/dumb devices like speakers just get surge protection to leave as much battery as possible for the important stuff. *Technically "relocatable power taps" going by the UL label, they're the cheap type of power strip. Surge protectors ("surge suppressors"?) cause problems when used with a UPS. edit, re: calibrators, I've heard you can rent them out from some camera/photo places so maybe look into that if you just want to calibrate a bunch of stuff one day and don't have a use beyond that. japtor fucked around with this message at 06:20 on May 27, 2014 |

That reminds me of something I was wondering about. Someone (maybe you?) mentioned something like not needing to deal with profiles on a hardware calibrated display. How's that work on a Mac since I think there's always one selected, do you just use one of the "generic" profiles?

Surprised this hasn't been posted yet: http://www.cnet.com/news/intel-to-deliver-cheaper-4k-monitors-thanks-to-samsung-partnership/ quote:Intel is specifically partnering with Samsung to increase delivery on high-quality, 23.6-inch PLS 4K panels, with a stated aim of such monitors hitting a US$399 (£239, AU$430) price point. For Intel based All-in-Ones, Intel believes we will also see 4K All-in-One prices starting from US$999 (£599, AU$1,080). This is around half the typical current price of 4K IPS and PLS monitors. These PLS, or Plane to Line Switching, monitors are very high-quality, with 100 percent sRGB coverage and Technicolor certification.

Apparently Intel has the same crazy idea if this is true: http://www.macrumors.com/2014/04/21/thunderbolt-third-generation-details/ 100W  and new thinner form factor (I was hoping mini DP would be tiny enough to stick around a long rear end time)

Anandtech reviewed the 34UM95: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8057/lg-34um95-monitor-review tl;dr color was good but thrown off a bit in the corners cause the weak backlight uniformity there, low input lag, 1440p ultrawides are cool. No internal LUT according to them though, which contradicts that guy from a while back. I asked about it in the comments for confirmation just in case though.

From what I can find that card has 2 DVI, 1 HDMI, and 1 DP…so yeah you should be fine going HDMI on both as long as you have one adapter/cable for either DVI or DP to HDMI.

The only TB ones I can think of are the Apple and LG ones, both around $1000 rather than $250, I don't know of any 1080p ones. A TB dock by itself is around $200 to start, but I guess then you could use that for the display connection if that's what you meant, although that's still essentially doubling your budget.

frenziedslacker posted:Which MBP do you have? The only 2 Macs that have official 4k@60hz are the rMBP 15 and the Mac Pro. That said, I have a UP2414Q and it works great on a 15 rMBP- it automatically sets the display as hiDPI so the screen looks like 1080p, but you can bump up the total resolution if you prefer. Only trouble is that I couldn't get a second screen working via the other thunderbolt port, I had to use the HDMI. No idea if it being a TB display would change any of that. If you want to use both your TB display and a 4k display you might need to wait for non-MST displays to ship. Non MST might help although depending on resolution it could be pushing TB2 bandwidth limits when paired with a 1440p screen (they'll be under 20Gb combined but I don't know about the real world overhead for it).

Alan_Shore posted:So I'm buying a fancy new laptop (probably a Sager Np9377) and am thinking about getting a secondary display, one that you plug into the USB socket I guess? Or thunderbolt or HDMI I don't know. There are some cheap-ish17" displays on Amazon, is there any you'd recommend? Portable (so not a real monitor with a non-detachable stand) is preferable. Not sure how many other options there are but when I searched for portable HDMI display this one came up: http://www.amazon.com/GeChic-ON-LAP-Portable-Monitor-Speakers/dp/B00H4MWMWQ/ Seems like a regular HDMI screen but with USB for power. 1gnoirents posted:http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/monitors/LS32D85KTSR/ZA just get these. maybe he will be satiated by the fact its 32 inches and isnt a poor brand (despite being cheaper)  If he's willing to shell out for Apple displays I'd go for the LG superwide as suggested. It's even got Thunderbolt and the USB ports (and I think speakers) work through it like the Apple TB display. And over a million extra pixels of space to work with. Course it's relatively new and some early adopters have had issues, but I haven't kept up to see how the rev B models are doing. And hell if I know how LG's support is.

For someone like me that's cheap and wants more space than his old 1920x1200 display, are 2560x1080 screens the best deal as far as pixels for the price? (Other than 1440p eBay brands that is). Costco has the 25" LG for $250, particularly tempting if/when they discount it further like they've done in the past.
