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.

I have been thinking about getting a mic (with pop filter) for making better skype calls. -- I was wondering if you like your setup for making phone calls, or do you still your phone for these things. (facetime, skype calls etc)
I can't really say anything meaningful about the UN40KU6290. I have to admit that I am biased towards Sony, (having owned a Sony TV before), and that I prefer IPS panels in general. I think that that the Samsung is not an IPS panel - but VA .
Curved monitors are expensive and you don't have...
I would look seriously into the Sony X830C. It would probably buy this panel if it wasn't BGR (which sucks for Mac users like me). It is cheap, you have a good quality brand name backing it, the reviews on RTNGS are decent.
Some things to think about:
- In my calculations, having dual 43"...
Yea. I have a Dell u2713hm and I can't see myself running this one in portrait mode. I tried it. But it did not stick with me. I guess my ideal setup would be 2 x 36"curved, with a resolution around 4K. I think that somewhere between 27" and 40" would be nice. The downside with these larger 40...
I am not a gamer. I write code and I surf the web. What do you think is better?
- 3 x 27" in portrait mode
or
- 1 x 40" in landscape mode
What would be your ideal setup for professional work?

@ Panel, You should put your specs in your signature. I'm curious what TV you have bought after reading your posts.
Off topic: I am deeply fascinated with your comments on this topic. Hardforum seems to attract really bright people, coming from a range of different backgrounds. I'm glad...
It depends on what platform you are on. With Windows 7/10 it's not a problem to run a BGR monitor. However, Mac does not support it. Which is a shame, particurlarly if you want to use font smoothing. (anti-aliasing). Which you might want, since the PPI for these 40 inch monitors is quite low...
@ Panel:
With PC monitors the subpixel layout is almost always RGB. However, TVs are different. Just pick any popular 40 inch model on RTGINS.com, like the Sony X830C and check in what order the pixels are. With the exception of the Samsung JU6400, all 40 inch screens I have come across are BGR.
I wonder why the big names are not making 40 inch 4K monitors. Yes we have a few from Philips and a really expensive one from Dell, but by and large the big brand names are not entering the 40 inch 4K segment. I think it is a shame. At the same time you have companies like Wasabi Mango and...
I am interested in buying this model. Would you mind doing the BGR vs. RGB test on http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/subpixel.php ? I wonder if the 43XD8305 is also a BGR IPS panel like the 45830C.
Really curious :)
After reading this topic, I started researching all the TVs and Korean panels again, and again I came to conclusion that I need to wait. Color shifting and PWM all seems horrible to me. Also, main folks are using these Korean panels for gaming which is quite different from what I do everyday...
@ Jedibeeftrix
I also find it quite expensive at 750 pounds. Compared to the stuff we have been seeing from Korea, 750 is a lot of money. You also have to ask yourself if the curved screen is really a benefit or not. However, if prices were to come down to say 500-600 euro instead of 900 euro...

I have the same screen size, same res. And I always zoom in when I'm using chrome. So yes, I agree. It's too small by default.
I use the bigger Windows 7 task bar. With large icons. Not the classic look.
