    Going from 1080p to 4k today! :)

    When people take issue with some of the suposed shortcomings with respect to 4K it's more then likely IMO that they simply cannot see past their own narrow intended use case. The reality is that not everyone uses monitors in the same way and if they cannot see differing use cases that is the...

    Smart TV’s and Android apps

    Yeah, your right,... LG uses WebOS (relatively small maker share), Samsung uses Tizen (relatively large market share) and Sony uses Android on some models or so I have heard. Maybe an Amazon FireTV can play your game,...?

    Are 4Ks closer to worth it?

    Its logical to think that if you are happy with what you have now in the U2711 then there is little to no point in upgrading. If you are not content then an upgrade makes more sense or if you want an additional monitor for specific applications on the same system (or a monitor for another...

    How much does screen size really matter?

    I've seen too many complaints about 27" 16:9 ratio monitors by those preferring 30" 16:10 to totally discount it as a factor for those contrasting 30" and 27" monitors with respect to size. Sometimes it's not the size but rather the ratio that bother people. Personally I switch between...

    Seiki Pro SM40UNP 40"/ SM32UNP 30"4K LED Monitors

    I understand your point and I am not saying you are wrong. However, there is presumably a pending upgrade to the Seiki Pro line already planned. If this is accurate, anyone in the know would have plausible reason to respectfully disagree and therefore expect a future price drop on the currently...

    Which 4k monitor to choose?

    I've "been there and done that" as well and with all due respect, my experience on a Seiki 4K 39" is still one I view as being positive. I've experienced none of the ill effects and issues that you have cited. I'm not trying to discount your assertions, I'm just saying they aren't...

    Which 4k monitor to choose?

    It's probably best to test with whichever model of monitor you are interested in anyway. While likely insignificant a 28" 4K TN monitor (Samsung) is slightly bigger then a 27" 4K IPS monitor.

    Large Monitors scaring me......

    Fortunately for you manufacturers still make monitors of the smaller variety and likely will for the foreseeable future. Plus such Lilliputian options are cheaper too. Personally I don't want anything smaller them 27" for general computer usage. 2560x1440 as a minimum is preferable. I like...

    Which 4k monitor to choose?

    Which 4k monitor to choose?

    I hear what you are saying and I don't totally dissagree with it. This may well be applicable to the OP, however, in my case it is not. This is for a number of different reason but chief amount them is the need to get as much as possible onto the screen while still having everything easily...

    Which 4k monitor to choose?

    I have a total of four 4K displays. The models are as follows: Samsung 28" U28D590 3840x2160 at 60Hz Acer 28" B286HK 3840x2160 at 60Hz Seiki 39" SE39UY04 3840x2160 at 30Hz LG 55" UB8500 3840x2160 at 60Hz (via HDMI 2.0) My experience and findings are very similar to that of...

    4K 60Hz 4:4:4 HDMI 2.0 TV Database

    Just a little update, I have an LG 55UB8500 and have started to notice a little oddity. On occasion the audio will go out of sync. Audio goes through the first HDMI port and I'm using a GTX 760. It could be the card, the drivers or the 55UB8500. I'm not really sure but I have plans to...

    Best 4K Monitor for Business Use

    The issue is one of simply being able to see comfortably at the native resolution of 3840x2160. Things like text in applications as well as the OS itself could be so small that they are either illegible or cause eye strain. The remedy for this would be to use scaling to make such onscreen...

    Best 4K Monitor for Business Use

    Your needs seem fairly modest if its just "web surfing, youtube watching and business". Nevertheless, you'll likely notice a difference going from 60Hz to 30Hz. Generally speaking I don’t find 30Hz to be too bad for desktop use but this is somewhat subjective depending on the individual. The...

    4K 60Hz 4:4:4 HDMI 2.0 TV Database

    Like I said earlier in the thread, I have an LG 55UB8500 4K Smart TV and have come to really like this late 2014 model. However, I did come across some info recently about LG 2015 Smart TV models running WebOS 2.0 which strongly suggests that 2014 models won't be eligable for an upgrade...

    I haven't read the entire thread and I typically read everything before posting as a protocol but in this case I just wanted to add some basic information. I recently purchased a Samsung UN55HU6840 55" 4K UTV model from Microcenter for $899 on Black Friday. I liked it a lot but some issues...

    Pixels/inch with 4K displays

    I have a 28" 4K display and a 39" Seiki 4K UHD TV. I use scaling on the 28" but not exclusively because I turn it off for certain tasks. Scaling itself isn't much of an issue to me because I typically use the 28" with OS X and the Apple implementation of scaling seems to work fairly well...

    Seiki SE50UY04 3840x2160 50" TV ($1300)

    I can't believe the Seiki SE39UY04 39-Inch 4K model is going for $339.00 and free shipping at Amazon. I'm almost tempted to get another one at that price. Believe it or not, I was thinking about trying something like this. However, didn't know if there would be some technical issue...

    Don't buy the hype on using a 4K TV as a computer monitor

    Where can I find red text on a black background,.....? Edit: I guess I figured it out but this is more like red text on a dark gray background. Maybe I can work something out in MS Office but I'm not sure since I don't use Office that much. Nor do I have office on every system. Edit...

    Don't buy the hype on using a 4K TV as a computer monitor

    I agree,..... Although I prefer to run at 3840x2160 most of the time on both the 28" Samsung and the 39" Seiki without scaling I can see how some people would like to run scaling. In OS X, the scaling modes look really quite good IMO. So if someone wants to run a scaled / effective...

    Don't buy the hype on using a 4K TV as a computer monitor

    Interesting about the red text on black background,.... I have a Seiki 39" UHDTV and a Samsung U28D590D monitor. As well as some other displays. My first run use of the Seiki was with OS X 10.9.0 and while I thought it was quite good I did notice what others are calling mouse lag. While...

    Is buy up2414q now smart move?

    I'd say wait for the Asus PB279Q 27" IPS 4K display which should be SST and under $1000 USD. That is to say if you must have IPS. If not then take your pick of the TN models out there.

    Samsung u28d590d price/advice help!

    Monitors are or can be to some extent a subjective type of thing. I have two Auria 27" IPS 2560x1440 monitors that I think are quite good and cost about ~$399 each at Microcenter. I also have three ASUS 27" TN 1920x1080 monitors which I like very much. In addition to this I also have a...

    Seiki Announces 28", 32", 40" 4K Monitors with HDMI 2.0 and Displayport 1.3

    I see a number of posts of people that seem to think 40" is too big. I trust what they actually mean to say is the 40" would be too big "for them" and for their specific needs / use case. I personally don't agree with this but I do understand that many people rarely look beyond their wants...

    Seiki Announces 28", 32", 40" 4K Monitors with HDMI 2.0 and Displayport 1.3

    Getting prices under retail would be great but I don't see your cited Seiki MSRP pricing as unreasonable if accurate. At least not unreasonable in today's market. I'd be willing to pay $500 USD for a 32": VA 3840x2160 at 60Hz SST display as well as ~$600 USD for a 40" of the same type...
