    4K 60Hz 4:4:4 HDMI 2.0 TV Database

    Seinfeld I think this Sony model has VA panel... I have the same model. Anyway, not impressed with the "quality" I first got a unit with horrible back light glow in one corner... now this second one has worked OK for 2-3 weeks, and now I noticed yesterday there is a bright dot like spot on...

    My Best Picture Settings for XBR43X800D

    passion4tech Hi there! Thanks for the info. Is this Sony model for 2016? Anyway, I tested Sony's 2015 model 43X8305 for a little while, it was otherwise quite good (especially colors were good), except it had defective panel. It had pretty good image quality, almost monitor like (not quite...

    Which 4K TV is best overall?

    Just want to share my views on what is a good 4K TV (possibly) In my case I'm just now testing Sony X830 43" UHD TV (2015) to be used as display / PC use. First I can say that I'm not really happy as I have to take this unit back, as it has some faulty pixels, something like 10-15 clusters of...

    My Final Question on 4K Tv's

    passion4tech - I'm not agreeing or disagreeing but I'd consider checking if TV is flicker free. IIRC according to rtings, Sony TVs and some expensive LG OLED TV's are the only ones that don't use PWN for brightness adjustment, at least in 2015. So if you have earlier noticed that flickering...

    Philips BDM4350UC 43 inch 4K IPS PWM-free monitor

    sunl1te That's interesting to hear. However, I'm not super excited about Philips anymore. Had to return it back a month ago. Didn't get new one as they (retailer) couldn't tell if it was from same or different batch. They promised to ask Philips about if or if not there has been updates...

    iiyama ProLite X4071UHSU-B1

    Hi, I tried to find out if this monitor has non-square pixels or not (similar to Philips BDM4065 I think). Only mention about this seems to be by igluk here, or my google-fu is not good enough, and I've no idea how to verify this. Anyone have info about this? Still looking for proper 40"+...

    Looking for 40" 4K (PWM Free) display

    PocketMusic - You pretty much nailed my feelings on quest for finding display roughly 40" in size... So far I've tried Philips 43" display, actually 2 units, both bad quality... Other than that, I don't think Philips looks too bad on OS X, I mainly use windows 10 but tried to connect BDM4350...

    Philips BDM4350UC 43 inch 4K IPS PWM-free monitor

    aiszaxs - I think it's already phased out model, and I think I checked specs, I think it only had 4:2:2 Chroma subsampling, so that might also be a problem if you want sharp image. There are also newer models available, at least in scandinavia, like this one 4K model, with 4:4:4 chroma...

    Philips BDM4350UC 43 inch 4K IPS PWM-free monitor

    vicill - Well, I posted images about vertical green lines above, and I went ahead and returned the display. I couldn't find any way to remove the problem, it is like you described. I don't think there is anything to be done, I only had nvidia cards, so I couldn't test it with AMD card, which...

    Philips BDM4350UC 43 inch 4K IPS PWM-free monitor

    morfinx Rabus - Good for you! Encouraged by replies, I went ahead and tested where the issue is - do I have a bad display card, some wiring issue, or bad HDMI cable: 1. Changed Philips HDMI cable to port 2 from port 1 - it did not make any difference 2. Changed Philips HDMI cable to Dell HDMI...

    Wasabi Mango Zen U400

    Hi again, jthom127 and to anyone else who might have this or another PVA / VA panel monitor / TV-monitor. I'm a bit curious about viewing angles, I have many times been reading that VA panels have bad viewing angles. I've only used IPS panels. There is talk about discoloration and issues with...

    Philips BDM4350UC 43 inch 4K IPS PWM-free monitor

    Still testing my unit here during weekend... somehow burn in effect feels a lot lesser issue than during 1st day, I've been using DP cable now, and HDMI is disconnected, as it causes that green spark effect, which seems to render Philips HDMI cable useless, or in worse case, HDMI port use...

    Philips BDM4350UC 43 inch 4K IPS PWM-free monitor

    morfinx I think 40" Philips too had this /00 version thing. Go figure what that means. However, now that I took a look at my box: It says on serial sticker (where all the bar codes are) that model is: BDM4350UC/00 On the other end of the box where there are copyright / trademark mentions...

    Philips BDM4350UC 43 inch 4K IPS PWM-free monitor

    JustLong Yep I bet that it can happen on any monitor, it's not that bad at all, just made note that it happens.

    Wasabi Mango Zen U400

    jthom127 - hi, I'm a little interested about this display. I'm currently testing Philips BDM4350UC, and it seems to be quite OK other than it has moderate or possibly worse burn in problem, 15 minutes and I get slight ghosting from static windows (UI elements that stay put like IM and software...
