4k is the end game

>>58724403
i was playing witcher 3 at 4k on my freesync monitor and i was almost moved to tears

8k when ?

>>58724512
at mature 7nm yields

16k when?

>>58724512
Already a thing

1080 at 21' still feels planty to me.

>>58724403
its great, but you still can't use 4k resolution.. have to downscale it to 2560x1440 make it usable

Buying a new monitor soon and debating between QHD 165 Hz and 4K 60Hz.

Which should I go with? I gayme and look at pictures equally.

Specifically, theses two monitors, both are the same price:

Nah 8k curved

>>58725760
buy the QHD 165 HZ model unless you are a content creator. I edit 4k videos a lot which is why i went with the 4k monitor. QHD is good enough for a 27 inch monitor.

>>58724403
I almost regret getting a 4K rather than an ultrawide 1440p - then I keep remembering that my desk & workspace isn't wide enough for ultrawide, it would just be awkward.

Downloaded Witcher 3 about 2 weeks ago to try out - still haven't installed it though.

Alright, it's time to abandon 22" then

fuck intel, seriously

>>58725760
Get the QHD hands down, if you have a GPU capable of driving it for whatever purpose you have.

can gtx 1060 6gb handle 4k?

>>58724693
>he is either blind or has never tried 4k
Look at him and laugh

>>58726434
No. Get a 1080 for 4K and even then it can be iffy depending on the game. Native 4K gaming is a beast.

Looking for 27" 1440p.
Any recs? for gaming, anime and other usage

I've found

>>58724693
Everybody says this until they see 4K in action.

>>58726510
yes I got a 4k IPS recently and see a noticeable degree of difference compared to 1080.

I don't know how much more you could squeeze out of 8k really, going for a 50~55" for similar DPI is just way too big for my viewing distance of 1m.

Any lower would be overkill and a pain in the ass to deal with scaling unless you don't want to notice the pixels at all. Hell I struggle to notice pixels on a 27" 4k display unless I put my face right up to the screen 1around 10cm away.

>>58725710
this is a meme, producing colors we can't see is the same thing as producing frequencies we can't hear aka hi-res meme

>>58727588
Why would a 96 bit screen produce colors we can't see? It would provide the same colors we have right now, but with more steps in between you dumb nigger.

>>58724403
4k is just the penultimate stop before I reach my personal "good enough" point of 8k on 40"-45" monitors. (~200 dpi)

16k at the same size (i.e., 400 dpi) might be marginally better for desktop use, but not enough that I'd be willing to pay very much for that next step.

so i reached end game a few months ago?

So what is the limit on human vision when it comes to resolution?

>>58728541
Human imagination

>>58728541
900PPI@16 inches

>>58728293
>Implying you will see the difference
You wouldnt see the difference even if you have had more eyes

>>58728602
What if I'm a cyborg

>>58728541
I think 300 PPI is the maximum before it gets not really worth increasing further, refresh rate being more important

In four years you fags will say 24k is the only acceptable resolution and I'll still be on 1080i

Come at me

>>58724403
640K ought to be enough for anybody

>>58728541
we don't really have one. the brain rearrange a picture over a given time. something like 80% of our eyes "resolution" are in a really small circle in the center of our vision. the rest is blurry and non colored.

>>58728541
resolution on a monitor is as important as resolution on a camera to be honest.

it gives you better details and less aliasing.


but it won't give you better colors, better contrast or better image depth

>>58728619
how are you posting on 4chan then?

So Apple is ahead of the game with their 5K display?

>>58729564
No cuz the hardware is shit

>>58724693
Until you start writing code.

>>58729564
>That bezel.
Disgusting.

>>58724508
Just looked at 4k screencaps of that game. I don't think it's all that impressive. The models used are still geared to lower resolutions. Thick chunky hair ect.

>>58730043
This. Thin bezels are more important than thin devices.

>>58724683
Existence in rare and unusual cases doesn't really make it "a thing" now, does it?

>>58726434
The absolute minimum to decently run not very taxing vidya at 4k is the gtx 1070. If you want constant >60fps at 4k at max graphics settings, you'd need no less than a gtx 1080 SLI.

This being said, when's gtx 1080ti coming?

>>58730128
you have to play it and play it on a 4k monitor to see for yourself

>>58728541
human eyes are 4k 60fps

>>58730307
How do 4k monitors look when not running at 4k?

>>58731308
You mean how 4k screens handle a video source with a smaller native resolution?

Depend on the quality of upsccaling really. I play witcher 3 on my 4k TV upscaled with a 1080p source and it looks pretty good.

Monitors are a whole other shit however since you're way closer to the screen as opposed to a TV. This being said, I reckon that a 4k monitor running a full hd source would look like shit cause most 4k monitors are at least 27''. Bigger screen combined with lower res equals huge, ugly pixels.

What kind of government-grade GPU do you need to run a whopping 4k?

>>58731214
Try 120fps before saying that

>>58724403
don't worry, they will soon put out some other useless shit so they can take the money from idiots.

>>58731214
Human eyes can't distinguish a light source flickering at 60 hz from an always on light source.
That doesn't mean you can't see things moving at more than 60fps.

>>58731308
Looks fine, especially movies. 720p is fine, 1080p is fine.

Vidya is okay at 1080p and lovely 1440p

>>58732245
I have a 970. It plays older games at 4K which is fine by me.

>>58733371
Exactly. Shake your hand quickly enough in a room lit by a 60hz bulb, and you will see clear gaps between the after images of your hand corresponding to the "on" period of the light bulb.

>>58724508
>>58724403
THis mother fucker is 100% a shill. Another thread like this was posted yesterday with the "end game"
Language. It's a crumy commercial. Fuck off op. This shit will backfire on you and no one will buy this crap.

>>58731214
there is a noticable difference between 144 and 240hz...

>>58728483
Im waiting for their new 4k 144hz one.

I don't know why this made me laugh so much

I want 4K monitor with passive 3D.

But that's not gonna happen. :(

>>58734416
The "big 3" tv manufacturers no longer incorporate 3d into their tvs.
It failed,

>>58734571
I don't watch TV, but it would be sweet to have a monitor with 3D.

I have a small point-and-shoot Fuji camera that makes nice 3D photos.

>>58725710
just walk outside

>>58734748
Yeah its a shame but I watched an article on the news yesterday about it.
Obviously the aim is now all on 4k hdr oled etc etc.

>>58724403
Triple 2560 by 1440 is endgame. Triple monitors > high res

>>58724403
nah it's a stepping stone to 8k, which will be a stepping stone to whatever the fuck comes afterwards

ad nauseum

I got my mind on the Viewsonic XG2700. Seems like an affordable 4k, feesync monitor. Anyone here who got experience with it?

>>58737854
144hz is coming this year

>>58727588
You are right. That post is literally a meme. You are replying to a joke.

>>58733461
Oh, so that's why I used to see my hand jump from one place to another when I shook it in front of my monitor, but not when just shook it in front of a lightbulb. I wonder why I didn't realise this earlier.
