Should we start stocking up on 39 seikis now?
sounds laggy. one idea behind Cirthix work is ZERO LAG
by the time GPUs can drive 4k at these refresh rates, we will be running holodecks using visual cortex brain chips
they can't. even 240Hz is something that the Tn panel requires overdrive to achieve
please note that the kit now accepts both scanning and strobing modes
agaiin, the kit has 2 LMB modes: scanning and strobing.
pretty close
I am glad you conceded that there is a gsync induced lag. 2-3 ms on average on best case scenario, more often than not at least 1-1.5 frames for scanout. in any case, a far cry from "no lag at all" you claimed at first.
It's a board replacement for the retail seiki panel.Wait a second... I thought these were whole monitors, not kits?
The initial blurbusters reivew (part 1 of 3~4) is up. http://www.blurbusters.com/4k-120hz-with-bonus-240hz-and-480hz-modes/
39" kits, 28" kits, and 28" full monitors are preorderable
Just ordered a 39" kit.
Strange thing about costs: the 28" kit costs $80 more than the 39" kit, thanks to something called X28 BL CABLE. The 39" kit has no BL cable included, go figure.
Need to get pictures up to make things more clear.
Cirth, would the 39 kit work with the SO50uY04?
If so, i'll jump on that. Otherwise ill just get the full smaller kit.
While I'm super excited I am still so confused about this whole project.
I understand why a budget brand like seiki didn't ship with a capable and expensive PC board but there are tons of companies pushing expensive enthusiast-focused monitors.
How is it that a new motherboard on an older panel achieves the 4k120 holy Grail? Why isn't anybody else producing retail devices? I always just assumed it wasn't technically feasible yet.
Don't get me wrong. I'm definitely a but of these kits but how have the other brands failed so hard to deliver?
Cirthix, are you planning to try and license your hardware design? Is there some secret sauce you applied here?
Either way bravo, sir. Truly [H]ard.
Cirthix, Would the kit be compatible with the AMH 399U which from what I remmeber uses the same panel as the Philips bdm4065uc?
This is what it looks like behind the panel on the 399U:
If your TCON is physically too large and wont fit between those bottom mounting feet, then I could probably remvoe the feet mounts since I use a Monoprice mount in the VESA holes anyway. Am I right in thinking that the TCON must be mounted somewhere close to that area because it needs to plug into the existing cables on the bottom and doesnt come with extensions or its own?
Based on what I see, I think it would work. The backlight connection looks the same and from what I can see, the tcon looks a lot like this one, which I have replaced successfully. http://www.shopjimmy.com/vizio-4s-lx477-pr3-t-con-board.htm
This looks like a cheaper variant of the v400 panel. It isnt supported but might work.
Fuck me. I have one of those in my closet. I guess I'll jump in for that as well as the 28.
Order one kit then. it it owrks on the 40", then order a second. Don't order a kit for an unsupported panel without a plan.
Would the 28 kit I ordered be compatible with the AMH 39?
I figured it would be tailored specifically for that one. If it's a case of "plug and play" cross compatibility, then I'll take your advice.
I have one of the Seiki sm40unp's. It's the seiki one that natively does 60hz 4:4:4 that they released later from the original 39. Any idea if it would work for this "pro" series monitor. Here's a link to it on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RVGXZ08/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=
Amazing work on this either way. It's been fun to watch the progress of your project in this thread and to see it hit the big review sites. Pretty unbelievable to see a single person pulling off something the tech giants still can't manage to do!
Same 40" panel as a few posts above, same answer. Not supported, please don't order it. My brother has the same panel and it is the laggiest thing I've ever seen haha.
Tell you what, if more than 10 people are interested in that 40" panel, I'll buy one and add support for it.
No, the tcon does not fit.
