    KGI: TrueDepth Camera Gives Apple 2.5 Year Lead over Android Competitors

    Odd my Surface Book and Intel RealSense camera have been doing 3D depth mapping with solid face recognition just fine for about 2.5 years. Oh and my Asus Zenfone AR seems to have a 3D depth camera along with the extra processing logic to offload the point cloud data already. And it somehow it...

    Philips BDM4350UC 43 inch 4K IPS PWM-free monitor

    Unless it gets much worse, yes. I am past the return for refund period. This one issue hasn't risen to the point of wanting to deal with getting it exchanged (and risking a worse panel). There isn't really any other choice on the market and I do really like the size.

    Philips BDM4350UC 43 inch 4K IPS PWM-free monitor

    4 week update. Still no burn-in. However I did see the weird flickering green lines artifact once. Essentially I caught the computer right as it was going to sleep and from then until I rebooted there were faint flickering vertical green lines (mainly visible in dark gray areas). It went away...

    Philips BDM4350UC 43 inch 4K IPS PWM-free monitor

    Well my current GTX 680 is only capable of 15 to 24 fps so there is plenty of juddering going on the video card side. I am hoping a GTX 1080 will manage 50+ in most of the games I am playing (with much higher settings than I am currently using) but I suspect there will still be hitching...

    Philips BDM4350UC 43 inch 4K IPS PWM-free monitor

    I have had mine for 3 weeks now. Nothing new to report. I still haven't noticed any image retention but I haven't been exhaustively testing for it. I still leave random windows open on the black desktop for longer than necessary and periodically shift them around looking for ghosting. I wonder...

    GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition Overclocking Preview @ [H]

    Very good information in this article, thanks again for your hard work. 120% power is still only 215W of the rated 225W available, right? (not to mention many power supplies can give more than 150W on the 8pin. If only that slider went to 11. I wonder how much power would be freed up by having...

    I concur with Armenius, that sounds like Smart Uniformity. I highly recommend switching to a different mode. See the PCMonitors review for a summary of what each one actually does.

    Philips BDM4350UC 43 inch 4K IPS PWM-free monitor

    I didn't stress test it by driving it to the limits trying to force burn-in. I leave it at my ~calibrated~ settings of 0% brightness and 20% contrast. My "testing" was simply, extending the sleep time to 30mins, then leaving a lot of bright windows open on my desktop. Whenever I wander near it I...

    GeForce GTX 1080: Most Bizarre Secret Paper Launch Ever @ [H]

    At the risk of putting words in Kyle's mouth, I think he is just saying a larger 4K monitor is superior so why deal with bezels. And with respect to 3x4k you could just get a very large 8k, DP1.4 should be able to drive it.

    GeForce GTX 1080: Most Bizarre Secret Paper Launch Ever @ [H]

    From what I have read on various forums the 1080 will be "for sale" (essentially pre-order) Friday May 20 and "available" (ship date? in stores date?) Friday May 27. I can understand the announcement date being embargo'd but blocking the review release date, pre-order date, etc just seems to...

    No burn-in issues on mine yet. Testing it periodically for the past week.

    Philips BDM4350UC 43 inch 4K IPS PWM-free monitor

    I got this monitor a week ago (Pre-ordered on Amazon as soon as I found it, held off canceling several times thanks to Lender's comments) and just wanted to chime in that I have also had no burn-in issues. (My model number ends in UC, I am curious if the burn in is mainly with the UM model...
