    gtx 660ti driving four displays

    I appreciate all of your suggestions! I'll probably just go for it. As for the Galaxy card, unfortunately I cannot find it in Europe, so it seems like I would stick with the big boys, unless you can point out a way to obtain it which will also cover warranty etc. Tnx

    gtx 660ti driving four displays

    thanx 4 ur replies. No gaming at all, just video & image editing & compositing using Adobe suite & some light 3dsmax use. If it matters at all, the PSU is a corsair TX850. I want the 3Gb version as After effects uses the GPU memory to render raytraced objects much faster. I would plan to use the...

    gtx 660ti driving four displays

    Hello, currently using a Gigabyte gtx 460 1Gb along with an Asus 520 low profile card to drive four displays. (2x 1080p, 1x 2560x1440 & 1x wuxga) I am thinking of replacing the two cards above for a single Gigabyte GTX660 Ti 3GB OC or similar 3-4gb card. The reasons: Dual cards are not...

    Have in mind that unfortunately although the Philips Cinema 21:9 panel is 2560x1080 pixels it only supports resolutions up to 1920x1080. It does not have neither Display port nor Dual link DVI connectors. There are some 4K displays around from Mitsubishi 56P-QF60LCU, Sony Trimaster and the...

    Plasma for PC

    For gaming (Panasonic) Plasmas provide a better experience than most LCD tv's (in the same price range) and as long as one follows a few step can escape image retention and eventual burn: Have transparent HUD or change their position, and after gaming wash out the screen with static noise for...

    What is the oldest monitor you are still using?

    Main setup has three 2010 LCD monitors (2x24" & 1x47" for presentations) Second setup for image editing has a 2008 26" LCD & a 2000 19" CRT (Philips 109B2) since the awesome Philips 201P of 1998 gave up. Country house setup has a 1995 Sony15"CRT still working!!! which hooks up with laptop.

    Wondering about using a Plasma as a monitor

    Panasonic consumer plasmas do not support 4:4:4 input, thus will blur PC text a bit. Commercial models PF30 & high end BT300 do. These are way more resistant to image burn, and have better wobbling/nanostrobe functions to avoid it. Post production shops use pro Panasonics for grading and...

    How come most people put 2 monitors side to side, instead of stacking them?

    How come most people put 2 monitors side to side, instead of stacking them?

    1:1 per eye = 2:1 for humans with two eyes. Hence 8:3 (2x 4:3) was pretty close. 16:9, 16:10 as single monitors but not in dual setups.

    How come most people put 2 monitors side to side, instead of stacking them?

    When working with 4:3 or 5:4 monitors in the CRT age, it was perfect to have two monitors side by side. Now with the 16:10 or 16:9, placing them sideby side is way to long imho for productivity (not gaming). One has to turn his head quite a bit to have proper view of secondary display. The...

    HP ZR2740w - 27" IPS - 2560x1440

    Can't find the manual from HP's site, but going through the specs it seems that just like the ZR30 it lacks OSD image calibration options providing just brightness and source options. This is a step down from the ZR24W and renders it pretty useless for any graphic or image editing use.

    HP ZR2740w - 27" IPS - 2560x1440

    It looses the analogue input, which is not substituted by a digital one either.. So it will have far less inputs than the u2711, and probably decreased uniformity due to the edge led back-lit. Hopefully it is priced very competitively as the ZR24W was.

    High end NEC graphics monitor and CCFL backlight life expectancy question

    FWIW 180cd/m^2 is way too bright for me. Even the 120cd/m^2 standard seems so, in dimly lit video editing environment, but during daytime its OK.

    Two u2711 Displays, color

    Quato iColor3 does have a correction for wide gamut displays. Check out Prad's review on your monitor. In general, seeing you work with Photoshop it is almost arbitrary to use a calibrator for proper color rendition..

    Two u2711 Displays, color

    Unless you got a defective display, such a discrepancy could be possible. In order to get best possible results and matching of both you need a colorimeter and software to calibrate both to a profile. Some like icolor3 o EyeOne Pro have a utility that you load a profile and test accuracy. I...

    IPS Monitor for graphics work under 600€

    For me it is better to find a slightly less expensive monitor but still accurate one, and a proper calibration device with it. The 2475 although being phased out is still very good as well as the new asus http://www.prad.de/new/monitore/test/2011/test-asus-pa246q-teil14.html#UGRA

    Dell u 2311. better panel (IPS vs TN) : much better viewing angles especially important for eyefinity and peripheral viewing. Ergonomic stand w pivot etc. Here it costs just over 200 euros. I believe you can get a good deal if buying three of them.

    To just get ZR24 deepest blacks does not require a colorimeter. To get most out of the monitor as far as Accurate color reproduction, does require one, as with most monitors. For me, since LCDs have inherent tech shortcomings, a decent IPS with a midrange colorimeter is the way to go fo most...

    HP ZR24w

    prad.de has translated their in depth review on this monitor. Don't expect most ips monitors to have plasma like blacks. its the lcd back-light technology that prevents this. the e-ips nec 231 & dell u2311 both have great black levels for ips standards.
