I saw a 4k widescreen TV,, maybe a 55", at a "major electronics chain" last week.
The picture was absolutely amazing. I was quite impressed.
In chatting with the clerk it would appear there is not a lot of programs/movies that support this format and he stated that next year home entertainment compatable stuff will start trickling out. The problem being, except for some ball games , I don't watch TV.
But yea, looking at that baby, I was wondering at its computer monitor possibilities.

Wow guys, 4K screens, 28+ inches, multimonitors this is getting very hardcore!! To think that I am still flying with a single cheap 22 inch monitor.... Maybe time for a Christmas present here too? Something on the 300-400 euros range? I don´t want to lose performance with my Nvidia GTX760...Any ideas?

By the way, congrats for your new home cinemas Hellshade

I don't know as much about monitors as I do about other hardware, but to my knowledge an IPS display produces superior color accuracy compared to a TN. I had a 1080 TN and now a 1440 IPS and it sounds funny, but the blacks are darker and colors are more vibrant on an IPS.

Also, be careful when choosing a 4k display as same amount of pixels are used on a 50" display as a 30". So, you can pratically count the number of pixels on a large display while you'll need a microscope to see the pixels on a 30".

And for cables, if you're going for anything above a 1080, then go with DVI or display port as HDMI can't do it.

Not crazy at all. TNs are not as good at wide viewing angles, etc, however most 4K monitors are being built with TN now to keep the price lower. On a TV set the viewing angle could clearly matter but for my monitor, I'm viewing it from head on 99% of the time.

G-Sync monitors only use Displayport. No other connections on it, so that makes that easy. I have a 10' Displayport cable on order too.

The pixel pitch on Hellshade's new monitor is only 0.16mm, which is half that of most 1920x1080 monitors. That should keep any notice of individual pixels to a minimum.

Even though it's shipping Ground, UPS has it scheduled for delivery by sometime tomorrow night. Same with the Displayport cable. If it all actually works, it might be a really, really good few days off. I wasn't expecting it until next week just because it was going Ground. Whoot!

It would be nice if I could test it with WOFF V2.0! Come on e-tailer! Get your tail in gear! lol

It's actually there already. Check the Buy Now section!!!!

Yep. Already purchased and downloaded to the thumb drive to take home. lol 715MB

And so now you'll have to downsample back to 1080p for the rest of us to see your (expected to be wonderful) WOFF 2.0 videos on YooooooTube!

I think so. Youtube won't capture it in that resolution, but at least I can do screenshots!

Interested here as well. Fudge, I am also running at 2560 x 1440 resolution with 8AA and GTX 780 TI card. I still get jaggies and it is bothersome as I like it seamless Also, take a FPS hit. Average is around 45 FPS. Can I ask you to share your graphic settings to compare?

Thanks for pics as well!

It has arrived and I have it all set up. Runs great and G-Sync is awesome! Merry Early Christmas (especially for the credit card company).

I highly recommend the monitor (especially when it's on sale!)

is that a screen shot desktop background or are you playing woff in a windowed mode?

Great. Thanks a lot, Hellshade. There goes another $600, as I MUST HAVE IT!

It's pretty nice. G-Sync is amazing. Especially in games like Skyrim where everything runs liquid smooth. No stutters or problems normally associated with v-sync.

So how is it working with the 780Ti card, can it push the pixels fast enough ???

Do you use any AA now ???

And if you do not use any AA, do you have "terrain crawl" when you look across the terrain at low altitude ???

I run a compromise. I do 2560 x 1440 with 8x AA and things run pretty smooth and look very nice up through 4x time compression. It can push 4k resolution with 4x AA fine but time compression really hammers it.

Besides, I'm running Windows 7 which doesn't properly support UI scaling at 4k resolutions, so it's best just to run WOOF at the same resolution as my desktop, otherwise the text under the icons and such are just too small to read.

I'm skipping Windows 8.1 though so I'll just have to wait and see what Windows 9 brings. Also, this is my "future proof" monitor. I plan on buying a new generation of video card when Nvidia comes out with one that will push 4k at 60FPS under even very rigorous conditions. I'm still getting the benefit of G-Sync, crystal clear LED display (man the whites are PURE white!) and high resolution that I was before with a much faster 1ms refresh.

60FPS at 4K with time compression would require SLI to be consistent with the 780 TI SC series.

This is why I'm looking at the Asus 2560 x 1440 G-sync monitor (once the prices come back to MSRP).

I suspected that the 4k G-sync was just a little to GPU taxing for the next year or so with a single video card (tried SLI/Crossfire in the past and most older games don't like dual cards).

Look forward to your screenshots and videos with your new monitor.
