    Gamers are ditching Radeon graphics cards over driver issues

    On a side note. Using the same hardware on MacOS.. RX470, RX480, RX580, 5700XT, R9 Fury Nano on an X58 Mac Pro, there are no issues with black screens, etc. I doubt this is a power supply issue, as this truly looks like a quality issues with AMD's windows drivers. The issues are too...

    With 24GB of Memory, Does a RAMDisk Still Make Any Sense?

    The 4k performance of a Ramdisk can't be beat, even on an aging x58 based system the numbers are darn impressive. I'm running 56GB of RDIMMS that can be grabbed on ebay for $40 each on a good day. I keep my code in GitHub compile on a raid-0 ramdisk and would never go back. Checkout a...

    Current 43" 4K options?

    I have no complaints on the TCL's 4:4:4. It's a solid display path from AUO. I'll take a pic of the sammy after work

    Current 43" 4K options?

    Well, I'm not running in windows. On the samsung, sharpening set to 0, displayed at 3840x2180 at a 1:1 pixel ratio. If I turn the color down drastically, bleeding goes away and the pixels are clean. Would be a deal at $300 if it was 4:4:4. Compared to the TCL.... Well, both of my TCL's...

    Current 43" 4K options?

    Well to start with, the samsung 6290 has red and blue over bleed, making it look more like a 4:2:2 than a 4:4:4 The pixels on the AOC are sharp. Across the, aroma test, lines below and all. FWIW.. Image quality looks better than my Crossover 324k's 10-bit panel. A couple of quick pics...

    Current 43" 4K options?

    Best Buy has the 40" AOC C4008VU8 on sale for $499. My order arrived for pickup and I've set it up ias my primary work display, replacing the Seiki 39 30Hz 4k. Initial thoughts... Wow.. I'm impressed. This display clearly is in a class above the Samsung 6 series and TCL 43S405.

    Current 43" 4K options?

    If you can get 4:4:4 and a clean text pattern with this years 6290... not gonna happen. ... without a lot of work, if it’s at all possible. I’ve had 43” tcl’s from 2 different retailers, both have what we used to call b-grade panels. Trying another approach, the 40” curved VA panel from...

    I’ve reshot the Hisense over DisplayPort to HDMI 2.x @ 60hz using a pluggable adapter and a hdmi 1.4 connection@ 30hz. These were rendered with a 1:1 resolution. A HiDPI rendered image is where the OS renders the ui at a much higher resolution, scaling it to 4K. The 4k60 DisplayPort images...

    36" to 44" 4K Roundup

    Regarding the TCL 43S405, while you not it's as a narrow viewing angle, you need to make that note on every VA monitor on the list. IMO, the TCL viewing angle is a tab bit better than most sammys.. Thx

    I noticed the issue whilst calibrating s second 43s405 using the settings from rtings.com. The luminance from the RGB values bleed vertically. Lowering contrast reduces the issue, but it cannot be eliminated.

    Current 43" 4K options?

    Considering your image, I'm seeing the effects of camera sharpening of the scaled pixels, etc. which is normal for any display and highly dependent on the image scaler. Considering my 43S405, I have an issue of color / luminance blending above an image in specific circumstances, pointing...
