no you idiot, 2K is 2048x1080 (hint: it's exactly half of 4K = 4096x2160)

1440p is 2560x1440

I use 1440p I think

At higher resolutions is it possible to get away with knocking the AA Down a little?

>>55861988

>>55861994
Of course, in 4K I usually play somewhere between 2 and 4 AA, sometimes even off, if in 1080p you play at 16x in 1440p you could probably get away with 8

Yes, as long as you're comfortable with potential moiré effects

He's definitely right on the shit aspect ratio part. The rest I can't tell you without researching your monitor, which I just don't care enough to do.

>shit gamut
Only about ~72% NTSC, which is pretty poor compared to modern displays that can easily get >95% NTSC coverage with just phosphors (or compare OLED which is >100% NTSC)

>shit backlight
side-lit monochrome LEDs with white-coating. Literal cheap tech, which is the reason its gamut is so shit as well. (High-end displays with a solid gamut coverage use dual-color GB-R or three-color RGB LEDs)

>shit contrast
black levels around 0.12 cd/m2, which is in the “very noticeable” range. For comparison, HDR displays are in the <0.001 cd/m2 range.

>shit refresh rate
60 Hz. 'nuff said

>shit color depth
Only 8-bit, in other words: enjoy your noticeable banding and/or dithering artifacts in monochrome patterns. Also, it's probably more like 6-bit or 7-bit+FRC, in other words I hope you enjoy your flickering. A high-end display will typically have a 10-bit color depth (advertised as “1.04 billion colors”).

There are plenty of ways you could criticize the 31MU97-b, all of which I could list in a heartbeat since I actually fucking use the monitor and know how shitty it is. But don't try and somehow pretend the cable features are relevant when I could literally not give less of a shit about them.

wew, no UHD bluray playback on that monitor, ever, even if they do release UHD playback software for the PC, you wouldnt be able to use.

You can also never watch UHD netflix or UHD amazon video.

You would literally be forced to pirate a UHD movie even if you bought it since your monitor doesn't have UHD DRM.

I'm sitting on close to 8TB of pirated content, so I can't really talk, however cucking yourself into not being able to enjoy any media you want is pretty dumb.

I might not agree with DRM, but I made sure when I bought my new monitors to get monitors that had hardware DRM so I could watch HD streams if I want to. That's the main reason I didn't get that exact monitor actually. I almost bought it 5 months ago when I was buying my two U2515H. Saved $250 by going with the U2515H, got more overall resolution, and I can watch DRM content if I need to.

>>55864523
>wew, no UHD bluray playback on that monitor, ever, even if they do release UHD playback software for the PC, you wouldnt be able to use.
Right, because it's totally impossible to watch movies on displays without HDCP. I'm sure there's no way you could possibly somehow distribute a movie file online in a way that would make it possible to play back on a normal computer monitor or something. That would be unthinkable.

>even if they do release UHD playback software for the PC, you wouldnt be able to use.
I doubt it would run on Gentoo Linux either way.

>You can also never watch UHD netflix or UHD amazon video.
I wouldn't want to even if I could. Netflix and Amazon both compress the video to hell and back, it's not even funny anymore.

>You would literally be forced to pirate a UHD movie even if you bought it since your monitor doesn't have UHD DRM.
I don't intend on using DRM for the rest of my life, ever. I would rather give up watching movies than force myself to use some shitty DRM-ridden piece of proprietary software on a proprietary spyware OS.

I would literally rather go to jail than buy into normie mass media.

Well not having hardware DRM means I can't watch DRM protected content but I can watch all the unprotected content I want.

Having hardware DRM means I get both.


There is no cost difference, it's just feature set you need to look out for, the only real place it's a huge concern is with 4k monitors as most of them dont have hardware DRM yet.


Basically all 1080p and 1440p monitors do have hardware DRM already.

>>55864499
>input lag
>I have to wait 1/20 of a second for a reaction!

It plays great, plus the screen shits on any other monitor for anything else I use it for. You haven't seen shit until you've seen a 4K@60Hz video with HDR.

Plus that 0.02ms response time is perfect for sport.

Which monitor should I get?

UP2716D or U2717D?

Assuming they are the same price.

>>55864611
>with HDR
What TV do you have? All the current "HDR" displays are just the shitty local dimming which is in no way close to real HDR you'd get from an OLED display.

Latency response and refresh rate of your monitor? If these 2 specs aren't good enough, you won't probably notice any difference in games, the res aside obviously. I'm getting an Asus VG248QE soon: 1920x1080, 1 ms latency, 144 Hz refresh rate.

>>55864620
One is like $420 the other is like $750. What the fuck do you mean, assuming the same price?
If they're both $420, get the $700+ one, if they're both $700+ get the one that isn't $420 regularly.

I don't plan on using hardware DRM ever in my life. Shit comes to shit I will spend years of my life reverse engineering the signal format myself rather than submit to the corporate tyranny.

I mean, I'm fine with whatever you choose to do with your computer - but for me, HDCP and DRM is not even a design consideration. It's not even a question that needs asking. It's not even something I remembered *existing* until you mentioned it to me.

>>55864623
http://www.lg.com/au/tvs/lg-55EG960T

And no, I paid $4000 for it.

It doesn't have HDMI 2.0a so I can only watch 4K HDR content through the USB port but seeing as this will force me to pirate movies it will save me a bunch of money!

>>55864701
I guess im not autistic enough for that anon. I want a monitor that is going to let me watch what I want to watch when i want to watch it. I'm not going to fuck around for months to try and circumvent something I could have just made sure was possible from day 1 by just buying the right monitor.

i'd be willing to be you've used hardware DRM many times in your life and just didn't realize it. If you have ever watched any streamed 1080p content from netflix or amazon it 100% had DRM.

>>55864722
Where does one find pirated UHD HDR content? I'm sure it exists but i'm active on several torrent private trackers and I have yet to see any.

>>55864731
Eh, when you're hell-bent on getting a wide gamut 4K computer display I find your options are very quickly extremely limited either way.

In retrospect I would probably not have purchased the 31MU97b again, simply because the OSD/firmware is too shitty. (It can't sync properly to non-60 Hz modes, it does internal judder but I couldn't find any review online which mentioned that) but oh well.

I use Linux full-time and most of what I do is programming (I develop color management code and image processing algorithms, hence the big emphasis on wide gamut and 10-bit and shit) so I literally could not give two shits about HDCP etc. even if I was capable of caring, so it's not really a loss whatsoever to me.

There's no risk of having to “circumvent” anything when I have enough hatred for microsoft, netflix, amazon and other big budget software/streaming/whatever platforms that I wouldn't touch them with a 100ft pole either way.

AHAHAHA! Welcome to the new definition of getting cucked by the long cock of the MPAA

Any self respecting person wouldn't touch that shit with Stallman's dick.

720p, am blind as a fish, why bother?

>>55864887
I'm on a GTX 970, which is before they started adding HEVC decoders (GTX 960 and onwards)

>>55864893
No random flickers here, but are you using an intel iGPU to drive it by any chance?

>>55865050
Yeah im playing it just fine on a GTX 960 which is why I was asking. No stuttering or anything. Only 60% usage on the Video engine for the GPU.

>>55865050
>>55865091
Only works properly (i.e. no loss) on Windows currently, though. (With d3d11va)

nvidia hasn't bothered adding HEVC to vdpau yet, mostly because they'd need to rewrite it internally for that to be the case (HEVC is 10- or 12-bit, and their VDPAU architecture is 8-bit only hence why Hi10P doesn't work etc.)

anyway, I'm not too stressed. I can afford a new CPU capable of decoding it and I want it for other reasons either way, I just want to wait until zen shakes things up to evaluate my options.

Is it generally considered safe to buy a second-hand monitor?

I'm thinking about picking up OP's pic on eBay but wasn't sure if a monitor is something that should only be considered if bought brand new. The used ones go for more than half-off.

>>55865163
My GTX 960 played it back fine in windows, but using my 5820k @ 4.4Ghz wasn't enough to get more than some choppy playback, though I had ~15% CPU usage from background tasks, I can't imagine it'd be smooth playback even if it was the ONLY thing I was doing.

It will take a beefy CPU to do 4k at that bitrate.

>>55865169
Make sure its from a decent seller with plenty of reviews. They generally care about their ebay ratings and so if you get sent a bad unit they are usually decent about returns and replacements.

I would do it if I couldnt afford one new.

What a mistake.

Really just want a 27" 1080p monitor to double as TV. 24" is a little small.

Monitors seem to be going through generational change now with 4k and 1440p stuff. So seems like a bad time to spend $500 on one.

Help pls.

1024x768

>>55865288
To be fair, the only way the GPU can handle the decoding is it has an ASIC built on the die specifically for HEVC decoding.

Kabylake iGPU will have the same thing. You dont want to rely on pure CPU decoding if you can avoid it anyway.

>>55865050
>are you using an intel iGPU to drive it

No I'm using an r9 270x under linux with OSS drivers. From what I've read, this monitor pushes the limits for DP1.2 and that's probably the issue? I know I'm not the only one with this problem, seen comments on amazon.

>>55865169
I would buy second hand if:

1. I was “buying” a used monitor from a friend (for a token price)
or
2. The monitor still had warranty, I could visually inspect it for damages and dead pixels before buying, and I wasn't worried about color loss due to fading phosphors (although this depends on the age more than anything)

>>55861388
1360x768 because someone tried to hit me with an egghand ball and missed. Using a Toshiba TV for now. Waiting to save up for a new monitor.

1366x768

Normal human eye cant see more than 1080p 29fps so its pretty much useless to upgrade

1200p master race

>>55865183
Eh, I have a few optimization tricks up my sleeve still:

1. Make sure you're using the latest FFmpeg master with the OpenHEVC intra pred intrinsics patches applied

2. You can play around with the lavc thread count. I found that by using extra threads (more than you have cores), the increased effective buffer duration makes for much smoother playback in practice

3. 15% CPU sounds like a lot considering you also need to account for context switches, cache misses etc. as a result of the background load.

I've also been thinking about getting an 8-core, depending on what's available within my budget. (I would probably be spending around $1000 for Motherboard+CPU+Memory)

>>55861388
I'll be mad at resolutions until at least 8k.

>>55865450
Why 8K specifically? Do you even have the space to fit that kind of display?

(Note: An 8K TV is about 100")

>>55865450
>8 k

wtf, you would need 50 inch monitor for that

1080p. It's cheap and price efficient, and good enough for me.

1200p master race

>>55865570
This recently upgraded from a 19" Sansui 720p TV to a Dell 22" 1080p for $75.

22" 1080p Dell and a 55" 4k LG TV, running at 1080p because PC can't handle 4k

1080p, it's become very affordable with the 4k meme rolling out

>>55861388
Two 22" 1080p screens on desktop and Macbook 12" set on 1920x1200.

Funny enough, due gestures and virtual desktops, the small ass macbook screen feels more comfy to work on than dual monitors on Windows.

I have 2 1080p monitors, one 24", one 21", and one 28" 1920x1200. All 60Hz but 60Hz seems choppy to me now, I recently upgraded my desktop to handle 60fps on almost any game maxed settings, but it's not as smooth as I thought it would be, I don't mind 1080p at all though, I'll almost certainly upgrade to 1080p 144Hz next and maybe in a decade I'll go for 1440p 144Hz or 4k 144Hz.

I've never owned a monitor with a resolution larger than 1366x768
Can someone explain PPI and scaling to me? Say I get a 24" 1440p display, I heard that at that size the PPI is too high and you have to scale it up 200% to see UI elements.
Now does that mean that I have less real-estate on the screen (i.e.1440 vertical pixels becomes 720) or am I just not getting this?

>>55867227
Yeah I'm pretty sure that's how it works, but as to whether or not you have to scale it up is debatable, I know a lot of people that run 1440p 1:1, I'm slightly near sighted, not enough to need glasses 99% of the time, but if I did 1440p 1:1 I would probably need to wear my glasses to read anything at the distance my monitor is currently.

>>55867383
>>55867227
I should add that everyone I know that does 1440p 1:1 uses a 27"+ monitor, so yeah you might need to do some scaling.

>>55867227
Ideally, it only scales up the things that need to be scaled, so while UI elements would take about the same amount of space, they would look sharper and there would be still more space to work.

Also 24" 1440p display PPI is pretty standard, unless you're half blind, you shouldn't have any need for scaling shit.

I recently sold my Dell U2515h, it was really good and it's colors are amazing. But I just missed the responsiveness and smoothness of 144hz, so I went and got an Asus MG279Q.

The build quality is worse than the dell, and the stock image is really garbage. And I have to RMA it because sometimes I get a green line down the middle of my screen (it's not my GPU, my ps3/laptop have the same result).

I wish dell made a 144hz IPS monitor because that stand is god tier compared to this cheap chink asus garbage.

Imagine taking your display and doubling the resolution while preserving the diagonal

For text to appear the same size on your retina, it now needs to be drawn at twice the size. Same for images.

>>55867383
>>55867409
DPI, resolution and display diagonal are all useless figures if you don't know the viewing distance

The only number that matters (for the purpose of scaling) is how many pixels you have per arcminute (of your field of view).

So everybody who says e.g. “you don't need scaling at 150 dpi” might just be really close to their displays (e.g. mobile phone). It's really a meaningless statement without knowing all four of these parameters (or something derived from them)

>>55868970

Dell is releasing their first OLED display this year (UP3017Q)

It will be 3840x2160, OLED, 400,000:1 contrast, 100% adobeRGB and sports a 120 Hz refresh rate.

1080p. I don't have any desire to move to a higher resolution right now.

I may make the move to 4k when games are as easy to run at that resolution as they are at 1080p currently.

The whole industry is retarded when it comes to defining shit. What's 4K? Is it 4096x2160 or 3860x2160?

Some people define UHD as the latter and 4K as the former, most places use them interchangeably.

Saying 2160p is the dumbest shit of all though, since it doesn't even have any implication of either. Most people these days don't even realize the 'p' came from interlaced vs. progressive scan TVs, .e.g 480i (NTSC standard) vs. 480p (the first "HD"), all the way to 1080i vs 1080p, like a decade and a half ago.

Don't you know drug use (and especially its mention or allusion) is frowned upon?

1080p, 144hz

1440p would be more comfy, but to run it at 144hz would be impossible with my current setup and i dont have money for a 1080

>The whole industry is retarded when it comes to defining shit. What's 4K? Is it 4096x2160 or 3860x2160?
It's not the industry, it's the consumers.

The industry is perfectly adequate at defining shit. Go read the official ITU-R, DCI, EBU, JCTVC, ARIB, Sony etc. specifications if you want to.

But then the consumers and marketing departments come along and invent+swallow terms like “1080p” and “4K” which show up in no industrial standard on planet earth.

>>55861388
1080p because it requires the least power to run games on ultra and the different with 1440p ain't that great considering all other things are the same.

>>55878488
Addendum:

>>55873077
>Some people define UHD as the latter and 4K as the former, most places use them interchangeably.
UltraHD is a defined term and refers to a category of image formats including both 3840x2160 and 7680x4320 systems. (So in practice, the former)

4K could be considered shorthand for DCI 4K, which is defined as 4096x2160.

‘2160p’ is not defined by anybody, but the distinction between P and I arises from TV standards (e.g. ITU-R), so most people (including myself) understand ‘Hp’ to mean the ITU-R resolution with H vertical pixels.

(Although this leads to the question of what 1440p and 1600p refers to, since there are no ITU-R resolutions involving those heights, but in the case of this exception it's fortunately relatively obvious)

Either way, I personally use 4K for DCI 4K and 2160p for UltraHD 3840×2160 and I invite you all to follow suit.

>intentionally buying a glossy monitor

>>55878564

I see it as categories:

SD: CIF, QCIF, VGA etc.

HD: 720p, 1080p, perhaps 480p

UHD: 4K, 8K

These aren't very specific, especially the UHD ones.
I also noted that (3840*2160) / (1920*1080) = 4. But 4K most likely simply means that the horizontal amount of pixels approaches 4000. Same with 8K beying around 8000 pixels horizontal.

>>55879176
>I see it as categories:
Well, I'm telling you what the well-defined, *technical* terms are. (UltraHD is a technical term)

>But 4K most likely simply means that the horizontal amount of pixels approaches 4000. Same with 8K beying around 8000 pixels horizontal.
DCI 4K is named after the horizontal number of pixels, which is 4096 (or “four k” in computer engineering lingo).

>>55879213
There is a DCI 4K with 3996 pixels horizontal.

This is bullshit, from 10inches i see pixels on any 300ppi screen. Steve shoulda checked his eye sight that cancerous fucker

>>55862473
Wtf are you doing? I have maxed out 4k at 60fps, any modern shooter... Same 980ti OCd

768p

Anybody who doesnt have 40"+ 4k gaming monitor is just cucking themselves. Perfect for 4k movies, tv, media, browsing (no lame dual displays), work, literally everything is bigger. Even ppi is higher compared to a 1080p monitor. Fuck your 140hz meme, its utter bullshit. Yeah ofc if you cant afford it tough luck, its way more useful than Vr and will be for a long time. Especially until any real games come out on vr :^)

>>55879319
Law of diminishing returns

Yes, if you squint hard and use special test patterns you can see individual pixels even at sub-1px/am sizes.

But for a normal human with average vision (“20/20”), 1px/am is about the point where you stop being able to appreciate these differences when viewing moving images (e.g. movies, games).

>>55879477
No not for me, maybe you fuckers are blind but 300ppi is dreadful at normal distances, especially videos.

1080p because I am poor.

2160p all hail

240Hz for 120Hz native refresh, effective 60hz

the ideal screen size is 43"

with regard to productivity, I just wanted to add that even with a high quality mouse sensor, the actual cursor movement and travel is much more significant and lessens reaction times of mouse-driven actions which require much higher precision

moving a mouse across a 4k screen when it's actually required takes way more, say, subconscious effort than low res

don't discriminate 4k just 'cause of the price, it's awesome

i just switched to 1080p and i cant fucking get used to it
the crt had much better colors and the low res made it more comfy.

[spoiler]and the text is too sharp[/spoiler]

Is 25 inches actually a good size for 1440p? Seems small.

>>55883014
this is two of them>>55881087


They're fine if you're seated at around 26-30"

>>55883014
It is somewhat too small imo, but not by much. 27" is perfect for 1440p

>>55883085
If you've used a 27" 1440p for the last year a 25" will feel small, however if you're coming from a 24" 1080p a 25" 1440p is fine. 27" is a bit better, but 25" isn't bad at all (and it's much cheaper)

>>55883075
Without upscaling?

>>55883085
You mean 34" ultrawide?

>>55861388

>Inb4 he fell for the ultrawide meme

>>55883104
why would I have to do any scaling?

25" 1440p is only 117PPI
a 27" 1440p is 108PPI

>8bit color are shit
You know, only Nvidia Quatro and AMD Firepro support 10 bit color depth.
Also, only few softwares support that feature. Not videos games, of course.
But you are not a gaymer! You don't use peasant GeForce GPU!
>60Hz is shit
OK, you are retarded

>>55883747
>You know, only Nvidia Quatro and AMD Firepro support 10 bit color depth.
As long as you're using a 10-bit display and the appropriate interface (displayport, DVI, etc) then both the consumer Radeons AND Nvidia Geforce GPUs support 10-bit colors and have for several years.

However as you already pointed out pretty much everything besides professional editing software will only be using 6 or 8 bit colors anyway.

>>55861388
1440p is the perfect sweetspot

Not THAT heavy on your GPU but beautiful to look at

>>55883747
>You know, only Nvidia Quatro and AMD Firepro support 10 bit color depth.
Not true, Nvidia GeForce supports it too (since a few years ago)

>>55883747

Everything relevant does (krita, photoshop, mpv, etc.)

>Not video games, of course
Video game devs are incompetent? More news at 11

Nope

>you don't use peasant GeForce GPU!
Actually I do, since they're about a billion times more cost effective. I can't afford to spend 5000€ on an nvidia quadro with the same performance as a 500€ GeForce

Your eyes are truly shitty if you can't distinguish between 60 Hz and 120 Hz, because the significant majority of the population can.

in fact, studies have shown that people can even tell the difference between 120 Hz and 240 Hz for movies (pic related)

>>55883934
>The results show that the scores increase as the frame frequency becomes higher while how much the picture quality improves differs from material to material. The range of score improvement between 60 and 120 Hz extends from 0.14 to 1.04. The average scores are shown in Fig. 17. The improvement in scores between 60 and 120 Hz, and 120 and 240 Hz are 0.46 and 0.23 respectively. Both differences are statistically significant. It is anticipated that the increase of frame frequency will be more effective for UHDTV that has much more resolution than HDTV. These results lead to the conclusion that a frame frequency of at least 120 Hz is desirable for UHDTV to improve its moving picture quality.

>>55884082
I'm not sure if you're agreeing with me or disagreeing with me, but that quote supports my claim (that 60 Hz is not enough)

Got myself a LG IPS monitor, sudden got a pink/purple hue on the one side, tried different PSUs, cables and computers. Any idea what causes this?

Is Dell U3415W a good monitor? About to buy one.

>GeForce now support 10-bit
Source? I googled if 9xx and 10xxx support 10 bit display, and all result said it doesn't.
If it's true, i'm interested. My monitor support 10 bit, and it's a waste to not use it cauz of my old 560 Ti.

>>55884673
The consumer cards have since at least 2011, you must be using the proper monitor and I believe it has to be real 10bit, not 8bit+FRC.

>NVIDIA Geforce graphics cards have offered 10-bit per color out to a full screen Direct X surface since the Geforce 200 series GPUs

However HDMI doesn't offer 10 bit unless you're using HDMI 2.0 and Displayport only does with version 1.2 or higher.

Dual link DVI should support it as well.

>>55884673
>Source? I googled if 9xx and 10xxx support 10 bit display, and all result said it doesn't.
Not sure, it was in some changelog for an nvidia driver update. I imagine they didn't want to announce it with lots of fanfare. I could dig out the exact changelog and driver revision from IRC logs if you really care - but note that it was actually bugged for a long time so this information is mostly useless either way. (You got correct 10->8 bit dithering on older cards - the ones that didn't have DisplayPort output - but in newer cards it was clipped to 8 bits despite advertising itself as a 10 bit signal)

The first driver that *properly* supports it for all relevant cards is 364.12-r1, which I have confirmed personally using measurement devices is a true 10 bit end-to-end signal.

To enable it you, need to change your xorg.conf. Find the lines that say "Depth 24" and "DefaultDepth 24" and change them both to 30. Then restart X and expect lots of breakage. (Though it's not nearly as bad as it was a few years ago)

>>55885031
That DirectX quotes concerns Windows only, of course. For Linux you want to look at this line:

>Implemented color depth 30 (10 bits per component) support for GeForce 8 series and higher GPUs.
https://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-295.20-driver

This is from 2012, but as mentioned it never actually worked until 2016.
