Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Nvidia's proprietary drivers support HDMI 2.1 on Linux. Earlier this year there was mention of AMD working on it as well.
As for HDR, it looks like Valve is making a lot of headway there. They seemingly enabled it for SteamOS 3.5 just recently. I have yet to try it though.
I'll second the wall mount, or alternatively a floor mount. I upgraded from the CX48 to the C242, but even then you want to be ~42" away and be at an eye-level of at least 3/4 of the way up.
I finally got my hands on a RTX 3080. What a nightmare...
I was trying out some things to see what this G-Sync stuttering thing is about. Is this supposed to be noticeable on the Pendulum Demo? With V-Sync ON at 50 fps the stuttering is immediately noticeable, but with G-Sync ON at 50 fps it...
While I agree that a smaller (than 48") display would be better, it's really just a matter of being able to sit at the right distance, right?
I've posted my setup before, but sitting at ~48 inches away, wall-mounting it, and having it just a little lower than desk height is pretty much ideal...
That's more or less what I concluded. At 4K you have plenty of real estate to work with. It's only with full-screen applications that a second display is really useful, but it wasn't worth the trade-off for me. I also have two speakers to the sides, so I'd have to push it further off to the side.
I keep my office pretty dark, which is the main reason for the bias lighting. It seems to make it more comfortable for viewing.
I used to do 120 nits on my previous monitors, but ~100 seems good to me. What do you use? I don't have a way to properly calibrate it yet, so I'm going off of other...
I thought I'd share how I set it up as a monitor as well.
There are two main problems to address with a monitor this size: viewing distance and display height. I already had my desk pushed away from the wall for my speakers, and here it serves me again. My eyes are ~48 inches/122 cm away from...
