I feel bad about what'll happen to this thread next year, when VR starts to take off.

As someone who's been following the price of this TV on Amazon for a while, I can say this isn't a very rare or special price. It's been at $300 mark at least several times over the course of the year. There's a large thread about it here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1756171

I've been using an iPad mini every day for almost 2 years, but you know more about "real life" usage than me. :rolleyes:

From http://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/tablet-battery-life.jpg, it shows 614 minutes of wifi browsing and 604 minutes of video. That's 10+ hours. Very intensive games will probably be between 7-10 hours, but that's still long enough to consider "infinite" by my standards. In other...

It's a Retina mini, so 2048x1536. That's 10+ hours of non stop heavy use, like watching a video over wifi or playing 3D games. On a typical day I don't spend 10 hours on it, so it lasts a lot longer. For example, it's 1:28 AM and I haven't charged it since last morning, and it's at 77%...

Can you confirm it's at 60 Hz and not 50 or less? 3440x1440@60. Thanks.

Nope, I'm very happy with the 10+ hour battery life on my iPad mini with Cellular.

This article on 4k, HDMI, and Deep Color is very interesting and relevant. http://www.toonormal.com/2014/01/10/4k-hdmi-and-deep-color/

Tried updating Nvidia drivers to the latest, and tried your inf. Still no luck with proper colors at 4k (this is with 39 firmware; I haven't tried the others today). >_< Lower resolutions are working.

Ok, you're definitely onto something with that. I was able to get it to display the colors absolutely smoothly when I tried with resolutions of 1440x900 or lower in Windows. However, I still can't get it to work properly at 3840x2160 at all. I've tried the Accell active mDP->HDMI adapter, but...

thomaslfessler, that's a very interesting finding, thanks! I'll have to try it. Where in Windows can you control whether it's RGB or YUV?

Ok, I've gotten to the bottom of the issue. The TL;DR: I'm very inclined to believe I have a faulty unit. Here is a very standard HSL pattern image with smooth, uniform color transitions: http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/5143/1vs6.png And here's how it looks on this SE39UY04: I have...

Yeah, it's the same problem as alamone described. Here's a .png: Here's how it looks on my Seiki 39" with Sharpness 0, Noise Reduction "Off": (Closer view) Here's that same .png on a normal 1080p monitor, for comparison... --- I've tried both the latest firmware for 39" and 50", no...

Yep, that's me. :) Thanks, I just found out how to access the service menu (MENU, 0, 0, 0, 0), and the version info is there. Next up I lowered the backlight brightness, so it's much easier to look from up close now. I've already set sharpness to 0 (made a big improvement), and turned noise...

I just got this monitor at work. How do I find out the current version of firmware it has?
