IS 4K TOO BIG?

>1060 @ 4k

pls try next time

You should take some time looking at different displays to see if you really perceive 4K as a visual improvement over 1080. This depends a lot on screen size and distance. It's up to you if it's worth the extra money.

Modern OSes can scale their GUIs accordingly but you probably have to manually play with this setting to find your preferred scale size.

If you plan to play new games at native resolution you're going to run into performance issues pretty soon with that hardware. If you don't mind 1080p for gaming you're good (you could try 1440p but that scales awkward to 4K).

I'm more interested for Photo/video editing. Gaming is Just a bonus and I'm happy to scale down the resolution for games.

Would 1080p games look bad on a 4k monitor?

>>58652303
4k is in reference to screen resolution not screen size.

Get a 40 inch 4k tv or monitor instead

>>58652525
why not get a 1080p monitors with better pixel and calibration instead of low budget 4k?

>>58652534

I know, poor wording I guess.

>>58652550
this, 40" 4k is pretty noice, 27" will just give you eye strain

>>58652534
i think english is not OP's native language and his concerns went mainly to scaling issues

For professional work you'd probably want a 1080p or 1440p much higher quality ips screen than a regular 4k screen
Stuff may be small, but that depends on your UI scaling choices for windows and the programs you work with

I think two 1440p monitors would be good for professional work and gaming on one screen
1080p can look kinda off on 4k screens

That's the question I'm asking I guess. But 4k sounds like a good thing for Photo/video editing even if the colour quality isn't quite as good..

I'm just not sure.

What monitor would you suggest?

>>58652615
do you need freesync/gsync? do you need over 60hz? can it be a monitor which wasn't meant for gaming first hand?

>>58652578
200 lines of code without scrolling ftw

>>58652303
I'm curious about this as well. 6600k+480. I know my hardware isn't 4k material, but Im an oldfag and I really don't game as much as you fags do at all. I have a Tn tv, it sucks. I will never buy a Tn panel again, ever. Trying to decide if 4k + freesynch or a widescreen 1080 is better for me.
Can you output 1080 in your game settings or whatever and your 4k upscale it? Will it look like dogshit or worse than 1080 somehow?

>>58652624
>do you need freesync/gsync? do you need over 60hz?

Not sure

>can it be a monitor which wasn't meant for gaming first hand?

Yeah I guess so.

Obviously I want to play games and stuff on it too but Video Editing is my main interest.

>>58652303
4K is not worth it unless you go 40"+ or use OS X. Windows and Linux scaling is a fucking disaster.

>>58652484
470 @2k here, perfectly fine

>>58652687
>or use OS X

What does OSX do that other OS's dont?

>>58652662
well. I'm a pretty experimental guy and if I wouldn't go for a monitor for gaming but for picture/pixel quality, I'd check out the PHILIPS 276E6ADSS/00

it has the first quantum dot ips which was available to the market mid 2016 and has 125% srgb coverage for enhanced color range.

it also features 75hz on a sidenote

>>58652689
2k is nowhere near as limiting as 4k. the vram limit hits pretty hard if you don't have enough as well

here is a review.
you can expect all kinds of quirks in this pricerange though on every manufacteurer.

just look if you can get it for a low price. the monitor is pretty niche so you might find a good discount

>>58652702
Have a proper scaling system?

>>58652702

Setting dpi automatically I guess. But I'm pretty sure you can do at least manually on both Windows and Linux.

To retain the UI size you'd get on a 24" 1080p monitor you'd need a 40" 4k monitor. 4k on a 27" is still way too tiny.

Win10 has pretty OK scaling. I use the slider on my 4K TV.

get out of /g/

>>58652797
Ubuntu's scaling is really good. Anywhere from 1x to 2x with 1/16th increments looks great on a 4K monitor in Unity.

>>58653562
suck my dick?

>>58652550
Seconding this.

It's pretty much perfect... I still need two portrait monitors to not feel cramped though.
