Nvidia's proprietary drivers support HDMI 2.1 on Linux. Earlier this year there was mention of AMD working on it as well.
As for HDR, it looks like Valve is making a lot of headway there. They seemingly enabled it for SteamOS 3.5 just recently. I have yet to try it though.
I'll second the wall mount, or alternatively a floor mount. I upgraded from the CX48 to the C242, but even then you want to be ~42" away and be at an eye-level of at least 3/4 of the way up.
I finally got my hands on a RTX 3080. What a nightmare...
I was trying out some things to see what this G-Sync stuttering thing is about. Is this supposed to be noticeable on the Pendulum Demo? With V-Sync ON at 50 fps the stuttering is immediately noticeable, but with G-Sync ON at 50 fps it...
While I agree that a smaller (than 48") display would be better, it's really just a matter of being able to sit at the right distance, right?
I've posted my setup before, but sitting at ~48 inches away, wall-mounting it, and having it just a little lower than desk height is pretty much ideal...
That's more or less what I concluded. At 4K you have plenty of real estate to work with. It's only with full-screen applications that a second display is really useful, but it wasn't worth the trade-off for me. I also have two speakers to the sides, so I'd have to push it further off to the side.
I keep my office pretty dark, which is the main reason for the bias lighting. It seems to make it more comfortable for viewing.
I used to do 120 nits on my previous monitors, but ~100 seems good to me. What do you use? I don't have a way to properly calibrate it yet, so I'm going off of other...
I thought I'd share how I set it up as a monitor as well.
There are two main problems to address with a monitor this size: viewing distance and display height. I already had my desk pushed away from the wall for my speakers, and here it serves me again. My eyes are ~48 inches/122 cm away from...
