Yes. 4320p and 6480p resolutions are end game resolutions. Achieve 300+ dpi on 22" to 27" monitors.

This isn't news, kid. 4k is a marketing gimmick.

>>57896472
>>57896439
yeah you're right
4k is a marketing gimmick to people like you who think over 120 dpi is noticeable past one foot away
why do you think stupid shit like curved monitors are coming out?
to get you idiots to think theres still progress to be made in displays
1440p is frankly the max i'd go, i'd never get a screen large enough (for my pc) that would warrant 4k

>>57896472
4k is for TVs and has the resolution of premium video cameras since 2006
4 times 1080p, pretty enough for a 3 meter-away televison screen.

I assume it's a TN panel because the word "IPS" is nowhere to be found (not mentioning panel type in description reeks of trying to hide the fact that it's a TN panel)

no height adjust, pivot, rotation, no VESA mounting

>>57896619
TN are faster and better for gaming because shit colours make enemies more obvious HDR would help them to hide on you.

>>57896580
Legit retard, 144hz does not exist in greater resolutions.
>>57896619

You can just mess with contrast. And it only helps with shitty modern FPS games.

>>57896692
>Legit retard, 144hz does not exist in greater resolutions.

Tell me kiddo why you want 144hz freesync? Just for random big numbers?

>>57896700
Because 144hz is literally brain porn?
Have you ever owned a 144hz or greater screen?

>>57896719
You're the typical consumer that has no idea what he's doing or how to use these monitors.

Freesync on most monitors is pointless and gsync is better. The only time it doesn't matter between the two is for extreme competitive environments. From what I understand they have comparable lag.
>>57896735

>>57896879
just jumping in to say that it's obviously a strawman to make this kind of argument. i don't think 144Hz is worth sacrificing other things for (like spending a great deal more money, or giving up other features), but if you put a 60Hz monitor and a 144Hz monitor side by side, i bet almost anyone would spot the difference. the question is whether the "lesser" of those two is sufficiently bad that you can't use it, and after that whether the cost of getting the "better" of the two is worth it.

if you can get a 60Hz monitor for $200 and an otherwise identical 144Hz monitor for $210, just spend the 10 bucks. if you have to give up something important, like go from IPS to TN or pay like $60 more (vs that original $200), then the most charitable thing you can say is that you have to weigh the options. I certainly wouldn't do it.

this is exactly the same discussion we keep having about 4k, high density (aka ~Retina~) monitors. there's a difference. if you put a 1080p 60Hz monitor next to a 4k 60Hz monitor with all the same other features, i'd bet anything you would see the difference. it wouldn't require a huge amount of scrutiny either. the question then is whether the additional cost is worth it for you. for some people the answer is yes. for others the answer is no. it doesn't make you a miser for answering no, or another person a retard for answering yes.

>>57896960
This is what I mean about people not knowing how to use these monitors. Why they hell do you care about 144hz?

>>57897019
i'm not saying i care about 144Hz in a substantial way, but if there's a slightly smoother movement of the cursor and/or if ~1% of the videos i watch at high frame rates benefit from this feature, then there's reason to evaluate the value of such a feature. if the only case where the refresh rate comes into play is mousing around, then obviously a sane person wouldn't assess the feature very favorably, but if you game or if you're just crazy or filthy rich, the extra cost might be worth it to you.

but this is too qualified and nuanced a position for zealots on either side to agree with, so everyone sees this argument as equivocating or "not getting it"

I am so glad I waited. Hdr is a fucking game changer. Don't give a shitabout 4k though

>>57896472
>>57896516
I think if we start to use a more meaningful metric like pixel-per-degree, we can have more meaningful discussion. Pixel density requirements vary by viewing distance and particular use-case.
Maybe VR will teach us a lot about conventional monitors.

>>57897071
We know the application. There's no need to go further or use a different measurement.
>>57897056
In actuality, the problem is people like you. The ignorant people that see only stats on the back of the box and use that for comparison. Even worse are the people that buy these monitors and don't know how to use them still.

There is objective base to support gsync over freesync. ULMB being the big one and the main reason to want high refresh rate monitors. I said most freesync monitors because some do come with strobes. However, most do not. At higher resolutions where you can’t maintain a static FPS gsync can help with screen tearing. The people saying the motion is more fluid between 60hz and 144hz are for the most part talking out their ass. While motion is more fluid it’s still plagued by blur. There is zero reason to run a game at 144hz when you can achieve 144fps static.

The other reason I stated was for extreme competitive environments where you're trying to get every bit of lag out of the chain. High refresh rate monitors are one of the biggest gains in lower lag.

>>57897139
>In actuality, the problem is people like you.
lol okay.

>>57897147
It's true. You and others like you spread this missinfo everywhere. It's become a click bait title. "60hz vs 144hz"

>>57897157
lol okay.

HDR is game changing for media consumption. My Vizio P UHD TV looks so good with HDR. Games and UHD blurays looks so good.

With that said, if you don't play games or watch movies on your monitor it's kinda pointless

Why did you make a shitty thread?

>As for HDR, it means high-dynamic range. In imaging, this technique generates extremely dark blacks and extremely bright whites
And then from the same article you read that this display has a native contrast ratio of 1:1000 and max brightness of 350 nits.
>and a higher color accuracy than the standard dynamic range.
Color accuracy is not at all related to HDR. Color gamut yes but even this is kind of iffy given how terrible the "HDR" marketing term is. What that display seems to do well is being able to display a large gamut. How accurate it is is left to be seen. Probably needs some calibration. Gamut is impressive depending on the backlight technology used.

>>57898694

Gaming is a big part of it and I've been hearing about 144Hz for a long time and yet to experience it myself. Obviously it wouldn't be just for gaming but for reading, work (mostly writing related), watching movies/TV etc. as well. I don't do any sort of graphics design or anything like that. I keep seeing that the LG 24GM77 is better but I'm fairly sure it's not sold in my country.

>>57898476
Coming from a country we own and populated with criminals, you have no room to speak.

>>57898765
You're pretty much out of luck for do it all monitors. The gaming monitors are acceptable but really meant for gaming.

The Asus pg248q is probably the best out atm for gaming. Go with gsync or go with a benq. I've heard the newer benqs aren't that great but I have no experience with them.

>>57898834
Im using the https://www.asus.com/uk/Monitors/ROG_SWIFT_PG278Q/ currently, until a decent 4k gets released.

Brightness is very important for HDR. Educate yourselves.

>>57898228

>>57898875
1440p is an option. I'm sticking with 1080p for probably at least another year. Hardware can't push enough frames for me to move up in resolution.
I would give up the motion clarity of ULMB for a 24-27"8k OLED though.

>>57898888
Brightness does nothing but sell TVs to retards like you and kill white levels.

>>57898834
I've been using a Asus VK246H for more than five years. I think almost anything that's just fundamentally a decent monitor and isn't straight up busted with ghosting and shit would be enough. I mostly just want a monitor I can pivot. I looked into getting a pivot stand but one of those costs almost as much as a monitor that can pivot so I figured I might as well put in the extra 50 bucks to get a new monitor that's decent and 144Hz because apparently that's one of those things that you can't live without once you experience it in games.

>>57898922
You're ignorant about HDR. Stop making a fool of yourself.

>>57898933
144hz means nothing.
see >>57897139
If you want motion clarity then you use ULMB or a strobe like on benq monitors.All 144hz Gsync gives you is some head room when you can't maintain a static FPS for 120hz ULMB. 85hz ULMB can work too but I just use gnsyc if I can't run at 120hz.

Just the refresh rate jump from 60hz to 144hz (assuming you can maintain equal fps) isn't much at all in terms of motion clarity. 144hz still fails tests like the UFO and map test pretty badly.
http://www.testufo.com/#test=framerates
http://www.testufo.com/#test=photo&photo=toronto-map.png&pps=960&pursuit=0&height=0

You need 120hz ULMB to be able to clearly see those.

>>57898595

I bought the xl2411z on black friday.

the one downside of it are the colors. they are bad. really fucking bad. I have an ips monitor next to it and looking from one to the other is painful.
that being said, I can still send it back but decided to keep it because 144hz are pretty neat for fps games and the washed out colors actually end up being helpful to spot enemies.

if you play a lot of fps multiplayer games than it's worth it but if you're more into single player stuff, I'd stick to ips.

>4320p and 6480p

jesus fuck we're nowhere close to that being achievable without serious compromises, namely subsampling, lossy compression, and/or shit refresh rates.

UHD@30bpp@96Hz is the limit of DP 1.3/1.4 using 4 lane copper pairs for an aggregate 26 Gbps, and getting 4x or 9x higher (plus more for 36bpp and 120+Hz) is barely affordable for enterprise networking equipment at the moment.

>>57896516
>dpi
you mean ppi?
also, are there any scientifically proven links about anything above 120 is not noticeable?

>>57902713
DPI and PPI are the same thing (dots per inches / points per inches)

>>57902724
DPI is a metric used for printed media and not electronic displays

>>57902713
>also, are there any scientifically proven links about anything above 120 is not noticeable?
If you want to get scientific about this, you have to first realize a few things:

1. DPI is meaningless without viewing distance. All publications you'll find on visual acuity normalize for effective size on your retina (usually measured in arc minutes), which is dependent on your viewing distance.

For example, a 150 dpi display at something like 70 cm is about 1.2 pixels per arcminute: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=150%20dpi%20at%2070%20cm%20to%20dots%2Farcminute

Or inversely, about 0.83 arcminutes per pixel.

2. The human visual acuity varies greatly from person to person and test conditions. You can find more than enough studies and citations on this online, but for the sake of example I'll link this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity#.22Normal.22_visual_acuity

A good rule of thumb is that an average human can discern about 1 arc minute of detail, although young people and people with above-average eyesight can significantly improve on that result. You can also improve on the result greatly in certain specialized test scenarios (see the next section).

So something like 150 dpi at 70 cm distance would be a good target to aim for, although you can calculate your own requirements using this fantastic website: http://isthisretina.com/

(That website will give you the target distance to get 1 pixel per arcminute)

>>57902747
DPI is a metric used for electronic displays as well. Is this your first time online or have you simply never bought a display before?

Looks cool. I'm really excited for all this high-contrast monitor tech coming our way.

If that article is true, we'd have legitimate contender to OLED, which is especially important given the high amount of uncertainty about OLED lifespan.

That said, OLED has other advantages besides just contrast, like their superior color gamut and refresh times. Maybe they will be able to make high-contrast IPS panels, but will those also hit 120 Hz?

But feel free to reject commonly accepted speech and go into an autistic rampage every time somebody uses a word that everybody else in a conversation understands perfectly, but you pretend not to for the sake of seeming stupid.

Can someone explain this new "HDR" marketing/meme term that's suddenly appeared? Is it just displays with a higher bit depth? Didn't they already exist before all this started?

>>57904714
No, bit depth has basically nothing to do with it

HDR, in rough terms, means you expand the dynamic range representable by a display. In other words: make the whites brighter, make the blacks darker.

In other words, high-contrast displays that also allow you to represent “super-highlights”, i.e. bright spots above the normal white level.

>>57900053

8k monitors aren't new. There's just no applied standard for them.

>>57904765
Isn't that just making a better display? I assumed 0,0,0 RGB was supposed to be the blackest black and 255,255,255 was supposed to be the whitest white, and displays aimed to achieve this. AMOLED displays show 0,0,0 as pure black.

>>57896692
What about 3440*1440? They have 144hz ones

>>57904837
>Isn't that just making a better display?
Yep, it pretty much just is. Although there are still technical differences, like the transfer curve getting changed from ITU-R BT.1886 to SMPTE ST.2084 for “HDR” signals. But apart from that, that's pretty much just it - a better display.

>>57896382

>>57905001
You know BenQ, Asus, Dell etc. don't actually manufacture the panels themselves, right?

>>57904714
I'm a little confused also. The first PC game I had that gave an option for this was Fallout 3. Choice was Bloom or HDR. I had no clue I needed a special device to take advantage of HDR.

>>57905207
That was just the option for HDR rendering. It was still displaying in SDR, which they did by tone mapping the HDR rendered image to your SDR monitor's range in a postprocessing shader.

That tone mapping is the reason why you get those “brightness transistioning effects” when moving from indoor scenes to outdoor scenes. Basically the display device can't represent the range necessary so they tone map to compensate.

With a HDR display, you wouldn't need to do this tone-mapping anymore, so you would get the full brightness spectrum as you move from an indoor scene to an outdoor scene just like you would in real life, with no gimmicky transitioning or tone mapping shaders that everybody hates.

>>57905207
>>57905270
Check the screenshots here to get a better understanding of the ‘HDR rendering’ term used in video games:

http://frictionalgames.blogspot.de/2012/09/tech-feature-hdr-lightning.html

Basically with a HDR display, you no longer need to tone map back down to the range [0..1], but instead you get to tone map to the range [0..10] or so (where ‘1’ is still the same effective brightness as before)

displayport 1.3 and 1.4 can handle 8K displays at up to 30 fps, so we are pretty close.

>>57905555
>>57905868
30Hz for SDR and 24Hz for 10bpc HDR only.
The Nips want to do 8k@120Hz HDR, which is 5x-6x beyond what DP 1.3/1.4 can provide with 4 channels.

We've reached the limits of what's cheaply doable in the near term with copper wires, so we need to either add compression/cut quality or just wait until 20+Gb transceivers become cheaper.

>>57906008
Mutlicore copper wires or just more wires is a possibility. That's generally what the current and past 8k -12k displays have done.

>>57902977
Image persistence, depending on how it is measured, can make a massive difference in motion clarity. These response times labeled as "5ms" are useless because they don't define anything else. They aren't a meme. Just like high resolution, high refresh rate, large contrast, large gamut, low input lag, wide viewing angles aren't memes.

>>57902977
Slow pixel response causes a double image, it's not about being able to notice a 4ms difference.

Oh right, fuck AU optronics for calling their IPS displays “AHVA”, like that's not at all confusing

>>57906650

But even with only one monitor that does it, it's still IPS, it's still a lot more than 120hz, and it's still jewish trickery

>>57906600
>Not even an IPS display
PG279Q is uses an IPS type panel.

>>57906650
Brand names, just like IPS is. PLS is the Samsung version of nearly identical display technology.

I have the PG279Q and the 165 Hz is useless for two reasons. For one I can't make up any difference between that and the 144 Hz and secondly, without ULMB the transitions get very blurry. Higher OD settings aren't useful either. I use mine with 144 Hz in desktop mode, movies and slow paced games with sRGB calibration. I switch to 120 Hz without G-Sync and ULMB with maximum pulse width(go lower and the display gets quite dim) to aid with motion clarity. With ULMB it's amazing but color accuracy and brightness takes a quite evident hit.

>>57906685
Fine, I'll give it to AU optronics for seriously stepping up the IPS game

Sad the rest of the specs are shit, I'd love a decent monitor but everything on the market ATM is garbage

>>57906686
Personally I would just run it at 120 Hz

>>57906725
Most of the time I end up doing that because I'm too lazy to change it. The gain in higher refresh rates isn't really there because of the pixel response times are slow. ULMB is supported only up to 120 Hz. At least enabling and disabling that for the times I need/want really fast transitions is quick.

I would keep ULMB off, backlight flicker is not something you want to fuck around with. That shit WILL have effects on you.

Well since the backlight is now on only in short bursts it's obviously going to reduce brightness. ULMB with minimum pulse width and lowest brightness is extremely dim. I can take some pictures.

This is the problem with idiots like you: you see a number on a screen and think it's god.

Just because your monitor and PC lets you turn on a device at a certain setting, doesn't mean that device is actually working correctly.

Feel free to look up any review of any 120 Hz or higher IPS monitor. Any that go into detail with actual measurements will show you that there is a lot of overdrive and overshooting to get that fast, and most of the time it doesn't actually make it. The refresh rate is 120 Hz, but the pixels just aren't responding fast enough to do that.

>>57906008
what about that carbone shit. A friend of mine works in a laboratory doing that shit but he says is not possible at the moment to make large stuff. But if they could I'm pretty sure we would move to that shit and just get these 8K, 12K and whatever.

Until that people should start doing things that can manage these resolutions anyway.

I would say ULMB feels snappier but I know the response time is the same, it seems like the frames are more well defined with better contrast while moving, it's like 120 "solid" frames instead of 144 "transparent" or "overlapping" frames

You do "overclock" it from the monitor on-screen settings. It isn't available from display adapter properties/GPU driver settings although I think you should be able to create a custom setting for it. 165 Hz is not guaranteed on every unit. Mine flickers a little but that could have something to do with the cable too.

>>57907253
Just look at this test. It's the easiest test out there to show the difference. You can only read the street names with ULMB preferably at 120hz.

Well if it's not hitting 120fps, it's not hitting 144fps, and when I turn gsync off it defaults to ULMB, I could just make a gsync button shortcut and leave it at 120hz all the time

it will work, but you may get a double strobe ghost image effect

>>57910132
Well Forza would be the only game that I would be doing it with since it barely passes 60hz anyways and I can't get gsync to work with it anyways.

the point of strobing is to make sure that as your eye smoothly follows a "moving" screen object that the light pattern from a frame doesn't get smeared across your retina.

strobing each frame twice will just make moving objects look like two translucent copies instead of one blurry one (no strobing) or one sharp one (strobe Hz = content fps)

Mine does 165Hz just fine, don't notice any difference between 144Hz and 165Hz, and two sites that reviewed the PG279Q have stated that response times are worse at 165Hz, but both sites had slightly different results for response times across various refresh rates so there might be a variance.

Vsync would make ULMB as well as normal monitor refresh better looking either way?
Isn't ULMB done 100% in the monitor side? How could it affect fps?

>>57911663
he said that, are you incapable of reading comprehension, he said that a multiple reduces artifacts, even the faggots at blur busters say the same thing

>>57911675
He's being a idiot and saying ULMB is trash because he can barely achieve 60fps in a game and he can't use 120hz ULMB effectively.

>>57911682
How fucking dumb are you? I mean really? The amount of ignorance you have about ULMB is just sad.

>>57911686
I mean having factors of your refresh rate (which would be 60 and 30 for a 120hz screen right, not 240 or 360?), that's normal with or without ULMB?
If he's saying you don't get to use gsync that's an argument but really the only one

Oh and if you'd like please link me to one of those blurbuster articles talking about "artifacts" from ULMB.

>>57911711
Wow, doesn't it feel bad to be a "professional color scientist" and know less about displays than a random shitposter on /g/.
LMAO

>>57911703
Forget G-SYNC, that does something entirely different, ULMB is designed to reduce motion blur, it's typically used for games that you can get a very high FPS on. And yes, there is more artifacts on ULMB but they can be reduced with some minor tweaking, even so I dislike ULMB and the shill in this thread is so fucking butthurt about it. Just laugh at him.

With ULMB you'd want a multiple FPS ideally. So it's the opposite of what you posted. Basically what I said earlier, if you can cap a game like Overwatch at 240FPS on a 120Hz ULMB monitor, it looks better.

>HDR for displays is different than HDR used in photos as the technique is hard-wired into the former, whereas HDR for cameras combines multiple images with different exposures to create the optimal results.
That's not the difference you fools. The HDR for cameras is exactly what is creating the images you will see on the HDR displays, the HDR displays just aid in displaying the HDR images in a realistic manner.

The grand shill himself suggests frame rate matching.

I've been playing FPS at a very high skill level for roughly a decade. ULMB is shit, just accept it and move on, kid. I'm outta this thread.

Are you so happy about your mom buying you a colorimeter that you have convinced yourself you're an expert on color calibration now?

"color scientist" sounds like one of those liberal arts studies meant for categorizing different kinds of gays and transsexuals.

I still don't get why you need to be sending double or triple your monitor's refresh rate to your monitor?
I don't know about artifacts, I don't see any, just the normal tearing now and then from not using gsync, but for everything except erratic games like beamng where I basically need gsync, I'm completely sold on ULMB now that I actually tried it

Good job.

>t. professional photographer
>making assumptions on the quality of the monitor calibration when you cant determine what the ambient lighting or the selected white balance on either photo is
Second looks slightly warm, first looks like it was dark and the camera over compensated blowing out highlights.

Neither is a good photo to determine how well calibrated either monitor is.

>>57911824
>Yours actually looks well calibrated with good tonal balance. Unlike that other retard.
You realize that's just a difference in the cameras, right?

As a “professional photographer” you should know what big an effect that has

>>57911799
>Are you so happy about your mom buying you a colorimeter that you have convinced yourself you're an expert on color calibration now?
You sure are projecting hard. I live alone and buy my own hardware (current setup is worth about 10,000€)

>you have convinced yourself you're an expert on color calibration now?
No, it's just that I've been maintaining color management code for several years now.

As of my knowledge, the software I write is the only fully color managed video player in the world, with support for ICCv4 profiles, HDR (PQ/SMPTE ST2084 and HLG/ARIB STD-B67), Panasonic VARICAM (V-Log/V-Gamut), bidirectional tone mapping (based on SEI mastering side-data), chromatically accurate desaturation (L*Ch clipping), constant-luminance encoding, ambient light measurement + compensation and pretty much the only spec-conforming BT.1886 implementation (including gamma offset and contrast estimation) apart from ArgyllCMS that I could find on the internet.

But don't get your knickers in a twist just because somebody actually know the words they put into their mouths.

AFAIK ColorMunki no longer exists, X-Rite bought them and reused their own sensor for the ColorMunki-branded devices they sell now.

>>57912113
you make all these claims yet you use a $5 smartphone to take a photo of your apparently extravagant setup and aren't even capable of setting it up properly

>>57911824
You can't tell anything from the """"""tonal balance""""" of a photograph of a screen because the camera software is applying white balance adjustments and additionally >>57911799 has closer to ideal exposure on the screen itself leaving the i1 lit by ambient underexposed where >>57911711 is overexposed for both screen and ambient. This is a pretty bizarre dickwaving contest though

Install gentoo may be a meme but in all the years I have been here no one has ever suggested that someone who installs gentoo isn't fit for this board.

There is a reason why we meme install gentoo.

>>57912277
>freebsd or get off this board
funny thing is, I would be using freebsd if the package manager didn't suck ass

linux is getting shittier and shittier by the day, I give it about 2 years before it implodes

>>57912387
but gentoo is actually a legitimately good distro, I don't think anybody installs it because of the memes

I use it because nothing else gives me the amount of power over my packages that I want. I run about 100 custom patches (/etc/portage/patches), several dozen live packages, and micromanage USE flags for pretty much everything as well. Gentoo is the only distro that lets me do this

Also no other package manager even remotely holds a candle to Nix / NixOS. That shit is a dream come true

if there's one system I wish I was using instead of gentoo, it's NixOS. Shame the developer base is still small and the command-line utilities not very user-friendly (at least not as friendly as gentoo's)
