    Bitcoin Prices Continue To Plummet

    The government can restrict access to communication systems, and a private key will be worthless unless you can actually transmit it. As a form of speculation it's an interesting opportunity, but as currency it's currently potentially even more instable than the US-Dollar. What many forget is...

    EIZO announces 24" and 31" 4K displays

    Toll? Back when we had these heavy things called CRTs Eizo and Sony were the main contenders in the high end and quality department. Now, believe it or not it's NEC and Eizo. So unless a monitor enthusiasts vision is limited to budget gaming TNs and it was never even considered to think about...

    EIZO announces 24" and 31" 4K displays

    Dell doesn't make panels, but you are correct in noticing that there are several companies capable of producing 4K LCD modules. And off topic it's great to see some movement in the tablet-monitor space, especially the latest Kingtee offerings give a glimpse of hope that there will be some...

    EIZO announces 24" and 31" 4K displays

    ... I'm confused is this sarcasm or does someone actually think Eizo is unknown and hasn't been contending for the no.1 spot in monitor quality for over four decades.. ?

    Samsung 31.5" 4K monitor model UD970 support DVI, HDMI 2.0, Display Port

    So is 2560x1600. Odd that I've been using it since 2007, waiting for a worthwhile upgrade... (which will likely be the first larger PWM-problem free 4K monitor) For those only interested in 1080ish content, 4K also provides the option for flicker free 3D at full resolution in case a...

    What panel types are in TVs?

    It's hard to tell since there was a Panel-Lottery going on at Samsung a few years back. http://www.digitalversus.com/panel-switching-samsung-tvs-we-know-so-far-n15170.html And even now it's hard to be certain unless the type is specifically advertised (like Panasonic did with some IPS models)...

    Can I easily and safely add an AG coating?

    You could try to order a custom size matte screen protector. Depending on what you are willing to pay some will be relatively easy to apply. Simply put "screen protector custom size" into a search engine to get sources.

    1st Sharp PN-K321 4K Monitor Review: 3000$ Joke

    It depends on the type of back light and frequency, it's less noticeable with a CCFL back light. The problematic part about the sharp is the combination of low frequency PWM and LED, it is very unlikely that you have used a monitor with a back light flickering as strongly as the sharp model...

    Anyone still going to purchase P2815Q (dell $700 4k) monitor?

    As long as it supports 4:4:4 subsampling there's only a difference in picture quality if it's impossible to deactivate noise reduction and sharpening features. Other than added electronic ballast (tuner etc.) there's no difference between a TV and a PC-monitor panel... other than that the TVs...

    Need recommendation for art monitor~

    If you don't want to bother with wide gamut my recommendation would be to get a PLS screen with perfect pixel option from S-Korea. Even with an X-Rite i1 Display you'd still be within your IPS/PLS budget. If you're intending to use it for print work a good wide gamut monitor might make sense...

    Now that 4K displays are on pipeline, will there be steep decline in 30 inch display

    No. The current 30/27'' monitors use resolutions only common for PC displays. There will be no further price-drops, the direct offers from s.korea are the lowest prices we can expect for the moment. 1280x720, 1366x768 1920x1080 and in the future 4K can be considered standardized TV resolutions...

    looking for a larger 4:3 LCD with low input lag

    The samsung 21xT flavors were the first monitors to be known to have bad lag.. it was the first time for it to be bad enough to be noticeable for average users when simply moving the mouse. I'm not sure if the 213T lags more than two frames but you should definitely stay clear of the 214T it's...

    New LG 4K 'Cinema' Format 4096x2160 Panel Now In Production

    The main on a high-ppi monitor would be a coarse anti reflection coating. But in order to produce text that doesn't look like this at normal display size we need a display with more PPI to start with, making it look crappy is an optional addition. Most fonts have rounded forms, serif or not...

    New LG 4K 'Cinema' Format 4096x2160 Panel Now In Production

    And as we consider 300dpi to be the minimum for clear text in print at normal reading distance the monitor should have 8k at 30'' or 4k at 15''. It depends on what you intend to display. For the way text and graphics are handled since 1983, barely enough pixels used so we can decipher the blocky...

    new LG Display 31" 4K(4096x2160) IPS panel

    monitor won't display full resolution

    The EDID (monitor information it sends to the gfxcard) could be messed up. The monitor will no longer "know" the resolutions and the computer will send analog signals in case it no longer provides the information that it's a digital display. You could try to use an EDID override (ignore monitor...

    Why are IPS monitors cheap?

    A big part of the price of IPS monitors was due to the LCD-matrix taking away more light than it does on a TN. So the backlights had to be stronger making the whole construction more bulky, hot and expensive. Much of the recent developments were aimed at making IPS more transmissive (more...

    At what screen size does 1080P looks best?

    A nice distance/screen-size chart. http://s3.carltonbale.com/resolution_chart.html I'm using a 50'' 720p plasma in the living room as there's simply no reason to upgrade the resolution at the typical 10-feet+ sitting distance. About 40'' wiIl work well at the end of your bed, and for the desktop...

    At what screen size does 1080P looks best?

    If you take eyesight into account the values from the calculator only work for good vision and no farsightedness. 20/20 is confusing as you can have perfect "20/20" at 20 feet but still be unable to read text at close range. So for watching a movie without glasses a large screen at Living room...

    At what screen size does 1080P looks best?

    It depends in the distance from the screen and the material viewed. There are some standards for TVs: http://myhometheater.homestead.com/viewingdistancecalculator.html the 50'' recommendation corresponds to watching a movie at living room distance, 21,5'' to normal PC-desk distance without...

    How do YOU set up monitors for people with bad eyesight?

    20/20 refers to being able to see things at 20 feet distance. This is independent from the ability to focus at close ranges like 2 feet for extended periods of time. Having 20/20 vision does not rule out the possibility to be farsighted, and is actually a rather common combination when people...

    Uniformity compensation software?

    Can no longer see the picture so it's a long answer: If you are referring to a uniform gradient top to bottom it can be the "normal" effect of the TN when looking at it from different angles. You can try to look at it from the other side of the room, if the gradient disappears or gets weaker...

    looking for small monitor

    Maybe something like the Mimo 710 ? http://www.mimomonitors.com/products/mimo-710-s You'll have more luck in the range of pure USB devices and small touch screens than when looking for small standard monitors. But most will be more expensive than a cheap larger monitor.

    Asus 39 inch 3840x2160 60Hz panel.

    :D looks like I skipped the first line of the thread, :eek: But most seem to (asking why we expect it to be cheaper than the IGZO based 31'' monitor..) And with Seiki also planing a 39'' version (hopefully with 60Hz support) there will be a comparable product to push the price down.

    Asus 39 inch 3840x2160 60Hz panel.

    The 39'' will very likely be much cheaper and based on older technology, the 31.5'' seems to use the expensive sharp panel... (which I'd rather see at an even higher resolution as IPS would also be sufficient for 140ppi)

    Asus 39 inch 3840x2160 60Hz panel.

    sorry for going further off topic.. f^^; It's the history of solar panel prices, until this year it was never necessary to produce them economically as the largest market was so heavily subsidized that the panels could be sold far above what they would actually be worth compared to other means...

    Asus 39 inch 3840x2160 60Hz panel.

    Solar panel prices have been artificially held up on a high level due to German subsidies... adding more than 5cent+ per kw/h to the energy cost over here for the next 20 years, not including the necessary added power-line infrastructure. Subsidies for putting up panels reached over 100 Billion...

    Ergonomic Mouse

    There's also the option to go with a touch-pad. There are some nice multi-touch ones from apple(fingerworks), logitech and wacom (some include a stylus, something I use for work but wouldn't recommend for relaxed computer work..) But there are many factors other than the mouse alone going into...

    3+1 Displays?

    You'll be limited to 1920x1080 on the 24'' Monitor unless the TV takes a 1920x1200 signal. Mirroring works as you described but both monitors will need to support the same resolution.

    4k Resolution @ 120hz PC Monitor

    96Hz video motion compatibility would be more a matter of convenience, not having to change the screen mode and refresh to 24Hz once you start a video. 120Hz is best for video frequency compatibility. (multiple 30Hz and 24Hz, NTSC and Cinema) It would only be a side effect of 96Hz being more...

    4k Resolution @ 120hz PC Monitor

    Anything cheap going to 60Hz with two inputs would still be a vast improvement. A triple-input 96Hz capable one would also make sense, multi-monitor gaming works better with three screens at the moment. And 96Hz like 120Hz would be judder-free multiple of 24fps used in Movies. (unlike 60Hz) It...

    CRT and LED Color Differences

    It's likely that both don't look correct. The first thing you should try is to see if there are options for setting the monitor color temperature. If there are some in the on screen display set both to 6500K. (the standard for working with graphics) If there are gamma options set them to 2.2 ...
