Sancus Yes, the Samsung is a 40" 4k display but I'm sending 1080p to it from my computer and I am comparing that to a 1080p 32" monitor (being sent 1080p from my computer). So I would imagine that even though there is upscaling going on with the Samsung that the PPI would have to be lower, not...

I guess I was hoping someone would explain why the Samsung looks so much better. I suspect there's something more interesting going on there that is more complex than it might seem (I mean on a technical level, if that makes sense).

This Christmas I bought a new dedicated PC monitor. The AOC C32G1 which is a 1080p 32 inch 144hz monitor with Freesync. Once I got it hooked up I was shocked to see just how poorly it looks in terms of resolution. Now, most of you are saying to yourselves, "Well duh. We all know that 1080p...

Some programs won't scale correctly. Older version of Photoshop are known for this behavior. There are guides out there (Google search something like: High DPI scaling fix for Photoshop) These guides have a work-around (which include some tweaking of Windows using regedit) Worked for me.

Good News! I should have caught this earlier (makes me feel dumb) but the problem was the A/C Power Strip. My Samsung 40" KU6290 is, in fact, perfectly A-OK. For what it's worth ... my take away from this is: If you want a current model 40" to 43" inch 4K TV right now the best choices are...

The BenQ EW277HDR seems like a great 27" 1080p monitor. It features a 60Hz 27” AMVA (Advanced Multi-Domain Vertical Alignment) panel from AU Optronics. It is 93% DCI-P3, 100% Rec.709, 100% sRGB. Here's a very in-depth YouTube Review: If they made a 32" version of this monitor I would be very...

Yeah if I buy a new 4K TV it would either be the 43" Samsung NU6900 or maybe the 43" TCL S515 (both at reasonable prices right now from Best Buy). Anyone have the TCL S515 model and using it as a PC monitor?

I find that 1080p looks fine on my Samsung 4K UHD TV. I imagine this is due to 1080p scaling perfectly to 4K since it is exactly twice the width and twice the height. It might also be the Samsung has superior upscaling abilities? But yeah if I go with a 32" monitor it will be 1080p because: 1.)...

I just want to chime in here since everyone seems to have razor eyesight. My eyes aren't horrible but I do wear glasses. Even with glasses I find text on a 24" 1080p display to be too small (at 100% scale). Text on a 27" 1080p display is perfectly fine (again at 100% scale). I can almost...

I have a Samsung 40 inch 4K UHD TV Model KU6290 I bought this from BEST BUY for $299.99 in December of 2016 and I've been using it as a PC monitor. I've been very happy BUT it just died on me. I talked to a TV repair guy and he says that it will probably be $125-150 to fix it. Mind you this is...

Question: I have a Samsung UN40KU6290FXZA which is a 40" 4K UHD TV that has that simple remote with minimal buttons. Normally, when I press the center button, I get a pop up on the top that tells me what mode I'm in. For instance, right now, I'm using it as a PC monitor at 1080p so when I press...

Just wanted to say that now that I've had a week or so of living with this TV as a computer monitor ... I love it! I hope everyone else is enjoying theirs as well. Cheers!

Well I finally hooked mine up and I'm running 1080p@60 with 4:4:4 and honestly, I think it looks awesome like this at the standard 100% scaling (which I guess is no scaling). Everything seems very crisp to me and the text is so big I love it (hey, I'm 44 years old and recently had to get...

I was at BEST BUY last night (Saturaday, 12/10/2016) and they had 4 of these on the floor with a big price sign saying $299.99 even though the website (which I looked at earlier that same day) had the price at $379.99 I grabbed one but they had to override the system as it wanted to charge me...
