I got a refurb monitor once from Dell. It had a few dead pixels. I sent it back and they sent me another refurb as a replacement. This went on 3 or 4 times before I concluded that refurbs have a higher probability of being less than perfect. With the Seiki 39" I have, I'm not experiencing...

The good news is that they are going to be showing new 4K monitors at CES. The bad news is that their old monitor is class-action lawsuit material.

I'm beginning to wonder if there might be a newer model coming out and they are blowing out the old ones? What I'd love to see is a smaller (maybe 24-27") touchscreen 4k monitor to use with Windows 8. The Panasonic 32in 4k Touchscreen doesn't appear available in the US although it can be...

$405 now at amazon for the 39"

I got blanking occasionally when using my laptop, but not with my desktop. Same Seiki 39", same HDMI cable. It's been a while since I tried it, but originally I concluded it must be something different about the HDMI connector not making a good connection or the video hardware on the laptop...

Thanks for the info on PS4. Shows how little I know about consoles. In terms of graphics drivers, I've tried video cards from both Nvidia (GTX760) and AMD (HD7950). I've tried various version of drivers. I get the same results, slight lag at 4k, but no lag at 1080p. I've not tried the...

You can try other monitors, but after doing some of my own experimenting and researching on the web, my conclusion is that this is not a problem of 30Hz or the monitor, but rather something screwy with windows. For example, if you set the Seiki at 1080p @ 30Hz, you won't see the same lag you...

I don't think VSYNC is the issue. 30Hz @ 1080p with VYSNC on, feels a lot more responsive than 4k. There's something else involved here.

Does anyone have experience running the Seiki off a Mac vs Windows? Does OSX have significantly less lag than Windows?

For clarity, my system is not doing any 1440p scaling because it's not an available resolution option. The lagom website is useful. thank-you.

Thanks for the confirmation Mark. I tried the possible resolutions for my system, but none of them appear to be dropping information like the 1440p examples.

houkouonchi, Sorry, I didn't read the earlier threads carefully enough. I understand what you are saying, but it's difficult for me to see what the difference is without a back-to-back. (i.e. I don't know what the original 1:1 looks like, so it's hard for me to tell how far off the "bad"...

If you are trying to simulate the scaling of the monitor, you are producing results that are far inferior to what the monitor is producing. The way you are doing it, you are throwing away information, but in reality, the scaler doesn't throw away information. You just need to take your...

Maarten, what do you mean by that? you checked out the tcon and there were 2x 81 pins?

The new firmware with the brightness control is a huge improvement. There appears to be a minor bug with the brightness settings. If I set brightness to 1, then power off the monitor (disconnect power because my Seiki is connected to a UPS that switches off the monitor's AC outlet when my...
