greyeyezz61: How about these speakers (EDIT: they got a 60-day money-back guarantee): Equator D5 Coaxial Studio Monitors for Home or Studio. Active Nearfield Monitors. I had the first revision and they were quite decent for the price/size. Also, coaxial driver arrangement is beneficial when...

How big is your room? How close will you be to the speakers? How much are you prepared to invest in this setup? I don't just mean money -- e.g. are you willing to acoustically treat your room? Will you spend time to research how to do it?

I'm glad I didn't see that sale. Craziest impulse buy was $300+ on Audo-technica A900LTD way back when I just started getting into audio.

* OLED panel with resolved blue subpixel issues and adjustable screen curvature * 4096 x 2560 (16:10) @ 150 ppi, so a bit over 30" * VESA mount (!!) * semi-glossy coating * "native" mode that engages at the native res and completely bypasses the scaler, for <10ms lag * capable scaler with all...

I am strangely excited about this EDIT: the RTS crowd will probably eat this up?

16:10 seems like a nice compromise to me. At this point though, with large-sized panels being so ubiquitous (meaning they'll be wide enough to fill my field of vision), I could go back to a 4:3 or maybe 3:2 in e.g. 30-35" size with 3072p resolution. EDIT: If I had a dedicated gaming rig, I'd...

The only recent 3:2 screen that I can think of is the one on the Chromebook Pixel, but that's under 13" (and an LCD). I think you are out of luck.

Or, you could have bought real monitor pads for $5 more - the ones that actually absorb vibrations and improve the sound a bit. For example: http://www.equatoraudio.com/Vibration-Resistant-Pads-Pr-for-the-D5-Monitors-p/dpd.htm DIY is great, and there is nothing wrong with just enjoying it for...

Thanks Art! Good to hear :) EDIT: Anandtech review of EA244UHD is up: http://anandtech.com/show/8335/nec-ea244uhd-review

It's also flicker-free, nice.

Art - according to this source: http://cinescopophilia.com/nec-4k-24-inch-multisync-lcd-ea244uhd-bk-monitor/ (apparently a translated Japanese press release), the backlight flicker frequency of the EA244UHD is 23 kHz. Do you know if that's true for the American version as well?

Gotcha, thanks. I got an unhealthy obsession with any software displaying lots of charts and tables :)

kagan2009 - what software are you running?

icor1031 - that stock is a beaut

These ultrawides would probably benefit from a curved screen (unlike living room TVs where it's more of a weird gimmick).
