    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    What is the recommended way to get high bandwidth interlaced VGA output rendered from a modern GPU? I have an old iiyama Vision Master Pro 510 (130 kHz/160 Hz) that I've had in storage. I used to run it at 1600x1200p@100, but I'm hoping it's possible to push it to 2048x1536i@160. My current GPU...

    Larger 21:9 - 3840x1600 38"

    It's hard for me to understand the appeal of these cropped resolutions. 720p and 1080p scale cleanly to UHD, and UHD content is already being released in streaming format now and in Blu-Ray this fall. While 3840x1600 could in theory allow some unstretched film content, the same doesn't apply to...

    LG UF7600 UHD Series (43"/49"/55")

    I might post a pic tomorrow when I have things cleaned up to at least the point of not being totally embarrassing. For additional info now though, I'm using an adjustable 4'x2' utility table with a 26" surface height and a Kinesis Advantage kb, which is kind of effectively lowering the monitor...

    LG UF7600 UHD Series (43"/49"/55")

    The 49UF7600 is also on sale for $1100 at a lot of places. I work mostly with monospace bitmap fonts in text editors, so the 91 dpi is actually a benefit over the 103 dpi for the 43". Also, I can confirm the monitor "shrink" effect is quite real for anyone debating a 40"-43" vs. a 48"-50" display.

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    If you don't care about viewing angles, you've pretty much already answered your own question. VA has better blacks and slightly better response time for gaming. I don't enjoy IPS glow, but I truly can't stand any positional color shift, so I reluctantly prefer IPS panels over VA and vastly...

    LG UF7600 UHD Series (43"/49"/55")

    Yeah, I already had Deep Color enabled, but the issue is that only GTX 960 and higher support UHD@60Hz/4:4:4 over HDMI 2.0 right now, and I don't plan to upgrade from my GTX 670 until I see how the R9 380/390 cards look in June. I've been pretty impressed by the LG 2015 UHD (UF) series in...

    Samsung S34E790C - 34" Curved

    You can always just use a letterboxed resolution on a 40"+ UHD display, until you get a 390/2nd TX/490/Pascal/whatever. For a 3440x1440 monitors to be a better solution/value than UHD, you need >60Hz or adaptive sync capabilities or a need for DP inputs, etc. The biggest issues with UHD TVs...

    Samsung S34E790C - 34" Curved

    Hmm. Could just be ocular microtremors (constant 60-90 Hz minute-of-angle level shaking) combined with non-linear retinal brightness response for green colors particularly. I don't see this on my old CCFL displays, but it might be because they all use very aggressive matte AG coatings, while...

    Samsung S34E790C - 34" Curved

    That's an artifact of any low-Hz PWM LED backlight and the human visual response to the extent that green is more apparent than other colors. I don't see the flicker on any of my CCFL LCDs, and I can see it on all my low-Hz PWM displays to varying degrees including my retina MBP when I zoom...

    LG UF7600 UHD Series (43"/49"/55")

    Cursor/text/etc. responses feel instant to me at 4k (note: I am not a professional counterstrike player), and perceptibly laggy at 1080p. I honestly believe the ~60ms latency only applies to up-scaled resolutions, which you would be insane to use for desktop stuff, since it looks like blurry...

    So why did they skip 1440p and 2K to go right to 4K ?

    UHD 4k (3840x2160) is an even 2x multiple of 1920x1080 and a 3x multiple of 1280x720, while a 2560x1440 monitor can't evenly scale 1080p. Also, "2k" isn't really a resolution and if it were would probably be used to refer to 1080p, since the new 4k/5k/8k resolutions refer to the horizontal...

    LG UF7600 UHD Series (43"/49"/55")

    I'm pretty sure the flicker mitigation was what did the trick for me, since I now have the brightness and contrast cranked up to ~50 (all LG levels from 0-100) with no issue. (Caveat: I'm away on a laptop right now and can't remember if I reversed the scale for the "backlight" levels.) At the...

    LG UF7600 UHD Series (43"/49"/55")

    At UHD 4k, the latency feels indistinguishable from my old zero processing lag/moderate pixel transition time screen, for anything from desktop use to gaming. I can only really perceive lag in upscaled 1080p/720p, and I haven't really tried gaming in GPU-upscaled lower resolutions yet...

    LG UF7600 UHD Series (43"/49"/55")

    I played some older action FPSs (TF2, Quake 1) to get a feel, and I can't perceive any latency difference between my 49uf7600 and my old scaler-less HP LP3065 when running at 4k in game mode. Upscaled 1080p feels super laggy even in game mode though, so be warned that reported latency figures...

    LG UF7600 UHD Series (43"/49"/55")

    Just picked up a 49UF7600 to replace my 20"/30"/20" 4960x1600 PLP setup. I chose this TV over the Samsungs since the off-angle color consistency was perceptibly better when I was looking at them in-store, though I know some people will value the curved screens/latencies/black levels of the...
