Samsung is probably providing QD-enahnced LEDs to Innolux for assembly into panels destined for Samsung only. Tempted to buy one just to get the panel for my electronics.

To add some extra confusion to this, the picture that I had posted showing the 39" panel running one of the blurbusters tests in scanning mode is actually incorrect. The picture here ...

Panel is probably in self test mode. Likely there is either a loose cable or the main control board is bad.

try blurbusters, they do some nice technical stuff

For people who want full 39" kits, the panels aren't easily found anymore. The best price I've gotten for a box of 7 (they come in packs of 7 from the factory) is around 300/panel after shipping. I've got a 42" panel at my new place (moving back to the US in October) and I'll add support for...

I know most of you in this thread have followed since the beginning, but this is a fun little writeup on the story behind the display. Some may find it interesting. http://zisworks.com/story

If I don't get a panel to test (not planning on it), there won't be a voltage+timing profile for the panel. Without this, image quality will be really bad. Backlight drivers are a secondary concern.

Ah, for those who haven't seen it yet, here is the LTT video. http://bit.ly/2vZx0fT The link puts my comment with corrections to the video at the top, I'd appreciate upvotes so it is more visible. Thanks :)

The LTT video wasn't that informative. Here is a better one, though it is older, so it doesn't have the new baclkight driver shown. If you want technical stuff, go to blurbusters.

You mentioned the TB port problem, forgot about it. I fully expect the adapter to work. Main question is OSX support.

I don't have a macbook to test with, but startech did give me one of these to try : https://www.startech.com/AV/Converters/Video/thunderbolt-3-to-dual-displayport~TB32DP2 I sent it over to blurbusters, Mark has a macbook. He gave it a 30 second test and it didn't work first try, so he went back...

check the blurbusters review for a link to the shop. don't want to post it directly in this thread. Differences: 28" TN type matte finish "1ms" rating 650:1 contrast 39" MVA type glossy finish "6.5ms" rating 2600:1 contrast The speed ratings are inaccurate for both, but this is what the...

The LTT video still hasn't been posted. I pointed out some technical problems with it and LTT was going to reshoot, then decided to just add annotations for the fixes. The original date was supposed to be the 17th, when the shop went live. I'm going to have to extend the order window, which...

On/off, brightness, backlight mode rotate (scan/strobe/stable), and dedicated edid profile buttons.

I think the new thread button is somewhere in the corner...

No, the original M280DGJ-L30 tcon uses Vx1 interface, while the zws tcon uses an LVDS interface. These are not compatibile, so the input board must be swapped too.

I haven't tested XBOX or HDMI ->DP adapters. Does the xbox even look at the EDID? The monitor will display a good image under the following conditions: 1) Any horizontal resolution is OK 2) Vertical resolution must be 2160, 1080, 720, or 540 3) Line clock below 276KHz 4) Refresh rate greater...

Yes, the kits will be flashed and tested. Once you install the kit to the panel (if not getting the full 28" model, its a few screws and a few connections to plug in), it will be plug and play.

zws site has been updated with documentation, renders, and descriptions

Check out the colorhug2. Been pretty happy with mine :)

Same 40" panel as a few posts above, same answer. Not supported, please don't order it. My brother has the same display and it is the laggiest thing I've ever seen haha. Tell you what, if more than 10 people are interested in that 40" panel, I'll buy one and add support for it.

You can use the 28" kit on the 39", or in your case, to test on the 40". Just need to flip the dipswitch and the mounting plate will be wrong. We'll do this together when the time comes. The 40" panel might behave differently which would require re-tuning it in which case you'd need a jtag...

Order one kit then. it it owrks on the 40", then order a second. Don't order a kit for an unsupported panel without a plan.

Based on what I see, I think it would work. The backlight connection looks the same and from what I can see, the tcon looks a lot like this one, which I have replaced successfully. http://www.shopjimmy.com/vizio-4s-lx477-pr3-t-con-board.htm This looks like a cheaper variant of the v400 panel...

It is a matter of drawing lines in the sand. When a company buys a panel, it comes with a TCON that has a standard interface and limitations of its own. Everyone accepts these limitations, as engineers usually do, abide by the specifications. I recognized that the limit was in the TCON and...

No, the tcon does not fit. See how there are four FFCs going off to the V500DK1-CS1 panel here: http://www.shopjimmy.com/cmo-35-d085502-t-con-board.htm It physically won't fit. I haven't tested it yet (and don't plan to, unless someone buys me a panel), but the kit should fit on the V500DK2...

there are other differences in the kits. 28" uses a power adapter, while the 39" kit uses the seiki power supply. 28" mounting plate is much more complicated to make and larger to ship. 39" does not require a backlight cable because it is a flatflex type built directly into the panel. Need...

The initial blurbusters reivew (part 1 of 3~4) is up. http://www.blurbusters.com/4k-120hz-with-bonus-240hz-and-480hz-modes/ 39" kits, 28" kits, and 28" full monitors are preorderable

4k@120Hz 1080p@240Hz 720p@300Hz 540p@480Hz fast pwm, pwm-free, scanning, and strobing modes 28" and 39" behave identically LTT review will be posted on the 17th. Blurbusters is ramping up testing, will have some content up before the 17th and some after. I'll be running the preorder from the...

Hi, I've been doing some testing with 10bpc color. Using an rx580 with latest drivers under win10, the monitor is operating in 10bpc mode, but the system is not. I can view a 10bit gradient (it bands the same as 8bpc) and look at the raw pixel values in the output device. 1023, 1019, 1015...

Both review units have arrived safely and I've been helping the reviewers. I'll post here when the reviews are done.

You could also move the computer closer to the display and use longer usb/network/whatever cables.

It isnt a matter of hdmi cables being better, because they aren't, they are built basically the same. The point is that DP is less tolerant of failures because it tries to be too smart. If you need DP at that length, your only options are redrivers or active cables.

Try using HDMI instead of DP for long runs.

Image quality with VGA is dependent on signal quality. Different devices having different levels of signal quality with vga is no surprise.

You can think of quantum dots as used in backlights as a way of tuning the color spectrum of the backlight in a more accurate and stable way than with the phosphors that are currently used. The LCD part of the system remains the same. Emissive QD will be a replacement for OLED and is being...

No. Overrides are bullshit. Flash it to the display and don't deal with the recurring hassle that is inherent with an override patch.

You can get this combination to work by adding the hdmi extension block in the edid. The default edid does not provide such a block, so the computer assumes that the display should use the 165MHz pixelclock crossover point. Because only one res is supported, and the port can't do it, the...

Yeah, it would be in the 5-digits for a small run of kits. I can swing it, but guessing the demand is the hard part. Thanks for the tip, will try to talk with them. I really dislike websites and businesses that say "contact us for ordering/quotes" and yet I do the same. Totally agree on that...

I don't know. Is kickstarter the right thing for a product that is already designed? I'd like to do something like a group buy, but don't know what is best. Open to input. I can front the money for production, that isn't the issue. I just don't know how many to expect to sell.
