I have a standing offer to Zis for free programming time to write a free strobe calibration utility (28" / 39") once there is dongle-free commanding access (e.g. DDC/CI) whether added by Zis or another open source programmer. Conceotually roughly similar to the Blur Busters Strobe Utility software I already have for BenQ/Zowie monitors. Commanding access to strobe parameters is currently under progress with a firmware upgrade.If I don't get a panel to test (not planning on it), there won't be a voltage+timing profile for the panel. Without this, image quality will be really bad. Backlight drivers are a secondary concern.

Interesting backstory! Thanks for posting that!I know most of you in this thread have followed since the beginning, but this is a fun little writeup on the story behind the display. Some may find it interesting.

The API should be open source and there's an easier way:Could you also make it open source in addition to free, so I, or others, can port it to linux?
There are already command line utilities that lets you use DDC/CI on Linux
On a non-hardware mod related question, what's the best solution to 'smooth out' 4k@30hz? I tried an updated firmware and cranking down the backlight both of which seem to have helped a little, but that was more than two years ago. Anything better anyone has found in the meantime to improve at least the subjective impression of latency? Is there a particular firmware recommended? Did anyone figure out a way to make 1440p look less terrible?
If the game can accurately mouse-poll 1000Hz independently of frame rate, that helps a lot in making mouse movements much more predictable at lower Hz (even if not less laggy).
But you are correct about higher mouse poll rate than frame rate.Behold fellow [H]: it is the first time over the last 5 years that Mark endorses something i said Now just another 5 years to see an actual " you are correct" or " I agree with you"
PM'd.I've heard the 39" Seikis are hard to come by now. I have an extra one that's barely been used. If anyone's near Dallas, TX and wants to buy it, send me a PM.
For people who want full 39" kits, the panels aren't easily found anymore. The best price I've gotten for a box of 7 (they come in packs of 7 from the factory) is around 300/panel after shipping.
I've got a 42" panel at my new place (moving back to the US in October) and I'll add support for it shortly after arriving. Should be able to offer 42" panels more easily.

Do they still make the 39" panel models anymore? That's the question. If not then a group buy probably cannot happen. Not for new anyway.
It may be only $100 more, but you have to decide what is more important to you. The 39 has better image quality and the size is pretty cool to work with, but it has significantly worse motion clarity than the 28 version. Even though both can run the same hertz, the slow MVA panel will streak more and that hurts the motion clarity. Whereas ther 28 being a TN can keep up with the high Hz better.
Though if you never plan to use the 240Hz and above settings and will just keep it at 4k120 then the MVA panel will probably be fine and only ever so slightly worse than the TN. So just depends on your use case.
One can only reach such conclusions after the blurbusters review is done. keep in mind that both kits have scanning and strobing modes, so at 4k 120hz both panels will have excellent motion clarity anyway. at 240/480Hz the TN has a chance to behave better, but who pays $750 to game at 1080p?

Is using the wrong illumination order, that's why it has a double-exposure looking effect.
Thanks for that. I guess I mean, is what I need available now? I've been to the ZisWorks site and not sure what to order.cirthix promised there would be no soldering, just basic static protection measures and cable connections. i have the soldering skills of a blind rhyno

I thought I would ask here so that my question (and subsequent response) could perhaps benefit others on the forum who aren't sure what to do.contact zisworks. this forum has rules and purpose, and being a sales channel is probably not one of them.
what does a dummy like me, who owns a Seiki se39uy04
order a 39 kit, no paneldo to transform his monitor into a 4k120hz one?
noy exactly. you paypal upfront, receive when availableis what I need available now?
nope. these are limited production runs, if out of the first batch, it will be least many weeks before anorther batch is readywill these be available on an ongoing basis?
family comes first. a mafia wisdom that i never regret using on my personal decisionsChristmas is coming up and I have a Family of 5 I have to buy for
the kits will probably add more panels to the compatibility list. the product needs a cheap panel still in production to become viable. and sooner or later move towards OLED panels as well
i doubt we will have OLED panels on the cheap for DiY projects anytime soon. now quantum dots, it is a matter of weeks before low cost korean brands start dumping those on ebay
Who said anything about cheap? I have two LG OLED 55C6's that I would love to sell since I now have a 55C7, but craigslisting them at any price point greater than $800 is neigh impossible. Being able to buy a 4K120 kit for them would pretty much make them priceless IMHO
