    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    I have a 43" 4K TV as a monitor now. It's great. But, what would be even better would be 55" at the same or greater DPI. Imagine 43" 4K and making it bigger by adding pixels to make it 55" without making the pixels bigger. Higher DPI would be better because I can just scale up the UI and...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    I know there are a few 65" 8K TVs. I don't think there are any 55" 8K TVs anymore, right? Are there any 60" 8K TVs or anything less than 65"? I searched rtings.com, and I don't see any. Are any coming?

    M2 Pro Mac mini + 8K display

    The new M2 Mac mini with the "M2 Pro" chip supports 8K at 60Hz over HDMI 2.1 with an HDMI cable that supports 48 Gbps. I'm thinking about using that with the Samsung 55" 8K QN700B. I'm trying to figure out if that will work. Will that give me 60Hz and 4:4:4 chroma? Any downsides?

    43" with > 4K res?

    Are there any practical options for 42" to 55" monitors with greater than 4K resolution? I have a 43" 16:9 4K 60Hz Sony X720E right now. It's very good. I'm just dreaming about what my next monitor might be. I'd like something higher resolution, maybe a little bigger, and maybe a higher refresh...

    Panel for Dark Games?

    Regardless of the monitor you get, color calibration can make a huge improvement as far as viewing dark scenes. I have an old Spyder4Pro. What I notice most after calibration is that I can see the difference between shades where before things were all muddy because the shades were too bunched up...

    LG 34WK95U

    I sure wish this came in a 50-55" size. That would make it around the same height and dpi as a typical 43" 4K, but about 12" wider. This 5120x2160 is the ultimate resolution, in my opinion.

    Sony X720E Standby Mode

    I read that the Sony X720E standby mode doesn't kick in for 15 minutes after the input signal turns off. Is that true? If so, that seem too long to be practical. Anyone that uses this as a monitor, do you use the standby mode, or do you turn it on/off manually? If manually, do you find the...

    Any 40-43" 4k without PWM?

    I've been looking forward to the 43" F models, but I still don't see any. I wonder if they will ever be available? ...I just checked the dates that the X720E and X800E first became available on Amazon, and it was June 13, 2017 and February 10, 2017, respectively. It's not June yet, so I guess...

    Philips Curved 5120×1440 32:9 49 inch Monitor

    It has 921,600 fewer pixels than a typical 3840 x 2160 4K display: 7,372,800 pixels vs 8,294,400. If it's 48.5" diag, the screen is 46.7" x 13.1" and 109.7 dpi. If it's 49.0" diag, the screen is 47.2" x 13.3" and 108.54 dpi It's interesting.

    4k, fav screen size for pc use?

    44" would be my fav. 43", which is always more like 42.5", is the next best thing. A 44" 4K display would be 100 DPI, 38.3" wide, 21.6" high (without bezel).

    New LG 5K monitors forthcoming

    Yes. 34" is too small, especially at 21:9. I'm uninterested in anything that small at any resolution. 55" at 21:9 would be 50.7" x 21.4". That would be great. Not too tall, and very wide. That's about the same height as a 43" 16:9, but about 13" wider. ...if I did my math right.

    First Impressions of the Dell UP3218K "8K" Monitor

    I'd rather have 7680x3440, but, more likely it would be 7680x3200. That would be a little closer to true 21:9 and double the horz & vert res of 3840x1600, like the Acer XR382CQK, LG 38UC99-W, and ViewSonic VP3881. So, 4 of those in one. At 50" diag it would be 46.2''x19.2'' and 166.4 dpi. ...I'm...

    First Impressions of the Dell UP3218K "8K" Monitor

    I wish they made this monitor 43" instead of 31.5". Actually, I wish they had reduced the vertical res to 3440, so that it would be 7680x3440, and thus 21:9 instead of 16:9, and made it 50" diag (45.6"x20.4'') which would be the same height as a 43" 4K but 8.6" wider.

    CHG90 is soon to be released!

    I only just noticed this display. 32:9 is ridiculously wide in my opinion. This has exactly half as many pixels as a typical 4K display. It's only 81dpi. A 49" 21:9 with ~8M pixels would be great. At 49" with 4352x1906, it would be 97dpi and 44.9''x19.7''. That would have the same number of...

    Sony 43" X800E vs. X830C

    Yeah, I see. I wasn't questioning why they rated the 800E over the 800D. That makes sense to me. I questioned why they list the 800D instead of the 800E on their Best PC Monitor page. Though, my main question, which I think wyqtor answered, is why they rated the 830C higher than the 800E.
