Am I still gonna get super-crisp quality at below 4k levels?!!!?!?!

4K is 4x when it comes to pixelcount.
>>52565259
But you get same 1080p screen estate. It just looks better.
>>52565190
In my experience with 4k. if 3840x2160, then it scales down to 1920x1080 pretty well. If 3840x2400, it scales to 1920x1200 well. This is because integer multiples.
>>52565132
>4k makes font too small
No, super high dpi does that not 4k. You can buy 4k screens that look just as normal as your current 1080/1440p ones with more space to use

curved if you want to be cucked harder on aspect ratios than the industry cucked us on 16:9 over 8:5 with almost no non-widescreen monitors available (yet many, MANY websites only still scaling to 4:3 aspect ratios using the extra widescreen space to run massive banner ads, a trend that will likely continue due to mobile phones)
144hz (or 120hz at least) is noticeably smoother in just about everything other than film/tv, however enjoy being cucked on buying top tier gpus to play non-source games on anything but extremely low
4k is, always was, always will be, primarily useful for multitasking or media editing on larger (>27") monitors, games won't be playable on 4k for a few hardware generations and it will likely be a niche resolution for 5+ years, look at how slowly 1440p was adopted and it's just *now* getting decent single card performance
g/freesync is of course the penultimate solution to tearing, but enjoy getting cucked on nvidia hardware tax or being forced to buy amd hardware (and missing out ULMB) because nvidia are happy to ignore that freesync is a vesa standard and not support it
ips is great for viewing angles but has a lot of problems (much like tn), you get what you pay for and good ips isn't cheap
>>52564997

>>52565190
given the OS doesn't blow at scaling, yes it would be much crisper
also 4K is extremely useful for graphic design if you have the scaling set at 100%
144hz is good for gaming, obviously
Curved panels seem to be a preference thing, I don't really see it being worth the added cost at all
>>52565278
Because you sit far from the screen. To me, 200ppi is good for desktop use. I agree that 100 is too low.

Right now 1440p at high framerate is hard to drive, you'd need two flagship cards to actually get 120 frames avg on new games. Forget about 4K unless you have no standards for framerate. The good thing about 4K is that it scales evenly to 1080p, so a 27" 4K 144Hz monitor would be a good option if they existed. In my experience, panel type is incredibly important for gaming immersion. VA is obviously the best because you get accurate colors and awesome contrast ratios. IPS is okay because you get accurate colors, but also IPS glow and a low perceived contrast. The new 8-bit TN panels are actually quite good. Pretty good color accuracy, great response times, better perceived contrast ratio than IPS imo. TN viewing angles aren't also aren't as bad as they used to be.
>>52565337
>muh response time
>ppi is different from resolution
Probably 144hz, 4k second, and curved last. 4k wont be utilized by many game developers until mid tier gpu's can handle the resolution. Currently a card like a r9 390 or a 970 are no where close to being able to handle all games in 4k at ultra . Give it another 2-4 years until then unless you wanna future proof.
My general recomendations have always been to get a CRT if you only game, watch movies, and shitpost on 4chan. Get a 4k ips if you do photo editing, programming, and general work. Get a VA if you don't care about accuracy just want pictures to look super pretty.
>>52565355
>ppi is different from resolution
yes it is.
>>52565297

Increase resolution, you increase ppi.
Keep the same resolution but shrink the monitor, you increase ppi.
Therefor ppi is the same thing as resolution
The only way to increase it is to increase resolution or decrease screen size
4k > 144hz >>> 1440p >>>>> "curved"
>>52564997
I'd consider going for 144hz if games weren't optimized like shit half of the time.
what use are 144hz if games can't utilize the power of your GPU properly and drop framerates all the time?
Yes Goyim, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You need THREE different screens now!
If you want to have the optimal "Experience"... hehehe... you will need two of each, nobody goes single screened anymore! It's dual screen or nothing, goyim
So you need to buy...
2x 144hz screens
2x 4k screens
2x curved screens
For MAXIMUM smoothness during gaming, use the 144hz screens, for MAXIMUM video editing, simply switch to your 4k screens! And CURVED for when you REALLY wanna get immersed!

Racism isn't allowed on this board.
please don't break the rules here.
Frame rates to make a 144hz monitor worth it don't exist with current hardware unless you're on a shitty low resolution or playing games with shitty indie game graphics. As soon as you drop to lower frame rates it becomes pointless.
Higher resolutions are always effective on the other hand regardless of fps (which will take a hit the higher you go) but modern hardware can render it at decent payable rates most of the time.

They're playable right now on my 290X CF and these cards came out in 2013. Granted, I can't go full retard and max out absolutely everything and expect to get 60FPS in any game whatsoever, but it's generally High/Very High settings. You could probably get that sort of performance on a single OC'd 980Ti. Not ideal yet, but pretty good for cards that came out in 2013.

ppi is literally the ratio between the resolution and screen size
ppi = amount of pixels ÷ screen size = points (pixels) per inch
tbqh senpai it's pretty simple
>>52565747
Supposedly at 4K aliasing isn't much of an issue at more reasonable screen sizes. Do you notice it? Can you disable AA for some framerate boost and not have things look butt?
>>52565776
So 400+ ppi is still pretty fucking impressive then. You're fitting more pixels into your viewable area.
>>52565050
The struggle most definitely sounds real.
>>52565708
No, you can only simulate any environment within the bounds of VR. That means only as many pixels as the VR has, as high a refresh rate as the VR has, etc.
>>52565780
Not him, but yeah, I did some testing, and AA becomes pretty much redundant in 4K.
The refresh rate should be a multiple of 24.

depends on the screen size and what you're doing. For everyday browsing and coding, go for as much resolution as possible. For using programs that can DPI scale, likewise.
Otherwise, 1440p is only good at a size that enables it to be a standard dpi.

Funny that most people ITT are ignoring 1440p which is quite literally the only sensible resolution in the year of the lord 2016. 4k suffers from scaling problems and lack of content, while 1440p is just enough to make things not blurry and give you an important bit of extra viable space for viewing windows side-by-side.
144hz is also very good if you happen to play games, and there's plenty of 1440p 144hz monitors
>>52566541
IPS contrast isn't sufficient, also still has image retention. OLED or any other upcoming tech is a better choice.
>>52565747
>They're playable right now
while I meant to say at 60hz, if you want to take that as back-pedalling or moving the goal posts I completely understand, but I'd at least like to explain my reasoning as to why I said 4k wasn't playable
>Granted, I can't go full retard and max out absolutely everything and expect to get 60FPS in any game whatsoever, but it's generally High/Very High settings.
that's the crux of the issue really, *some* games will do 4k approaching 60fps on a single card, but only if the card is optimised for the game and you're playing on lower settings - have fun playing nvidia optimised games on amd at 4k for instance
a single titan x/r9 fury x will do margionally well across the board but absolutely do not expect 60fps even on medium settings, a single OC 980 ti/OC r9 290x/390x will typically do well on respective nvidia/amd optimised games, but be shit on otherwise, and crossfire/sli doesn't fare much better as neither sli titan x's or r9 fury/x's will push 60fps in games consistently at high (or some games at medium)
it will take at least another hardware generation for the enthusiast cards to be consistent across the board for 60fps, and probably another generation for single card performance to come to acceptable levels for the consumer market, with crossfire/sli being the only exception to the rule but not without its downsides

I agree with you, yet I wouldn't mind at least 1440p for ''24,
PPI is just to low, as long as we need to use even MSAAx2 on native resolution, pixel density must go up, Anti Aliasing must finally become part of history, its worst performance eater=image enhance ratio on whole
GPU gadgetry spectrum.
Now, 144hz is nice to have but its not essential and curved monitors would have sense if they would go all the way around one person, and for that VR is much better and cheaper way.
So, Resolution(not necessary 4K but PPI should be much denser ), then hz(would help with VR) and Curved is a dead end technology (i see use in small tablets or phablets where you could roll your screen and put it in a pocket as pen but as tv or monitor substitute, not)

Perceived pixels per inch. There's no use to 4k on a 10 inch screen you sit 3 feet away from. On the other hand 8k on a 80 inch TV is perfectly reasonable.

>>52565780
Yes, it's true that aliasing isn't much of an issue and AA can generally be disabled. I want to point out that this is rather a consequence of the high DPI for the viewing distance though, not of the resolution in and of itself. 4K on a huge screen would still need AA, but on my 27" monitor it's not really necessary and will not make a large difference.
>>52566670
I do play at 60FPS though, as I've said however not with maxed settings in all games. AA in general is disabled (especially expensive MSAA) because it's unnecessary and some games aren't quite maxed out, but still in the high/very high region.
The amazing sharpness of the image is well worth dropping a few settings that kill frame rate but otherwise make very little difference. I definitely want an upgrade though, my 290Xs are getting shit support from AMD, so I'm waiting for whatever cards come out next. I'll get 1 or 2 of those depending on how fast they are.
>>52565190
You'll only get the super-crisp image if you're actually running at 4K. Running 1440p looks OK but slightly more fuzzy/blurry than a native 1440p monitor (I have both to compare). 1080p at 27" is too low for me, but the scaling should be OK. If you're going to be running games at 1080p on a 4K screen though, I recommend not getting a 4K screen in the first place.
Also, this is about games, things like 1080p movies show no visible difference between 4K or 1440p at 27".

~100dpi monitors are disgusting unless you're sitting across the room. I can easily count the individual pixels at regular viewing distance. I'm using a 145dpi one now, and it's barely tolerable (the pixels are still rather obvious).
Just compare a good phone (300dpi+) showing the same font size. 100dpi is a fucking joke which stayed with us too much due to the desktop OSes sucking.
Then again, I saw some video where they asked people if they could tell the difference and most couldn't. Same thing with 30 (!) vs 60 Hz. Oh well.

>>52564997
Most PC applications can't really benefit from 4K. Games to benefit from 144Hz, assuming your hardware can handle it. Curves are downright useless.
>>52575656
That sounds like a codeword for being poor.
People pay for resolutions bigger then 1080p and 60MHz? Isn't that excessive?
>>52575286
What do you guys think about this?

>>52575613
Excluding phones because of battery life, I can't see how you couldn't want higher resolution on every monitor, no matter the size. We haven't reached a ceiling yet.
in order of personal priority:
1) IPS @ 144Hz in 4K with FreeSync
2) minimum 10bit dynamic range
3) wideer color gamut
>>52575890
God i'd love myself a 60MHz monitor
Refresh rates over 60hz are hardly noticeable with video games and even at 1080p it's incredibly hard to get past 60fps anyway.
Curved is a gimmick, but whatever.
4k is only wroth getting with a big screen. Gaming on a high PPI display has some real benefits, but they're not THAT noticeable.
The first things you should be looking at is the picture quality, input lag and pixel response time. The rest really doesn't matter at all.
>>52576660
>3) wideer color gamut
Why?
what's the best not ips 1080p panel that has:
- no gsync shit
- 144hz would be okay but not necessary
- solid height and tilt stand
- not a hunk of shit
- at least hdmi
- good color (for as good as you can get with tn)
before you say anything i already tried a dell ultrasharp ips panel and the glow was horrendous.
>>52576872
You either had a bad panel or didn't read reviews, it's also an issue more prevalent on older IPS displays as was ghosting, newer ones have no issues and are infinitely better than TN displays
>>52576872
>>52576935
Otherwise this is the display you should get
$100
https://pcpartpicker.com/part/aoc-monitor-i2267fw
but if you must avoid IPS for whatever reason, then 144hz TN free-sync is the only other option
$250
https://pcpartpicker.com/part/aoc-monitor-g2460pf
You could also buy an IPS 1440p display for the price of the 144hz display
and you're better off paying the extra for free-sync as it's only $20-30 more for way smoother gameplay if you have a newer AMD card, or if Nvidia decides to care about freedom in the future which they will when G-sync dies
$230 for non free-sync 1080p 144hz

>You either had a bad panel
that very well could have been a possibility. it was a new u2414h that i got in december and the lower right corner was the worst. in dark scenes in tv shows or games it was washed out with this faint bluish haze that drove me absolutely nuts.

It genuinely does not matter
Most people don't play DDR, Guitar Hero, Osu or any other useless time-waster that requires frame-precision.
>>52577108
A lot of people play FPS and fast paced games, so it actually does matter.
>>52577108
it does matter input lag goes down to 3ms on average from 16-20ms
>>52577142
>A lot of people play FPS and fast paced games, so it actually does matter.
It genuinely does not.
Most people have friends with similar skill and can play competitively with 6ms-8ms response times just fine. Again, you only care about 144hz if you're a time-wasting nerd that plays in leagues (0.000001% of the earth population).
>>52565024
lol look at the fucking poorfag
How's your 2001 4:3 LCD working for you?
>>52577158
you never played a game at 144hz did you?
damn even browsing looks better
>>52577108
A 1440p 144hz display is fairly pricey at $600+ and then you also need at least a 980 Ti or Fury to actually push that many frames on any reasonably demanding game without having to drop quality settings.
It's a fairly big investment that most people aren't willing to make. Even if you step down to 1080p 144hz, you still need a beefy card.
For competitive play, there is more to it than frames per second, using a 144hz display isn't going to magically make you better than a pro gamer on a 60hz panel.
>>52577158
It genuinely does matter
You really shouldn't speak on things you do not understand.
>>52577154
Frame time is not input lag and having a high refresh rate is in no way a guarantee (or even reliable indicator) of input lag. Both may be found in the same monitor, but one does not guarantee the other in any way.
>>52577158
Its not just about performance, but comfort. Gaming on 60hz is garbage once you look at the real deal. Why sacrifice comfort for ~$250 that most decent 24' 144hz cost?
>>52577108
>>52577158
it's not about what you NEED or what makes you play better but more about what improves the experience for you. does it make things look smoother? will you enjoy it?
let's face it, this whole board is just a bunch of manchilds talking about their toys.
>>52577205
>Gaming on 60hz is garbage once you look at the real deal
But gaming at 1080p is also garbage once you look at the real deal at 4K.
Basically, wait for 4K 120+Hz DP1.3 monitors, then get wallet raped to buy one along with the graphics card(s) required.
>>52577219
And surely you are so enlightened as to be beyond the concept of physical possessions and see such things as trivialities meant to burden mankind, right?
>>52577195
Even then you have to deal with the "smearing" aspect of LCD panels, it may make motion appear smoother, but your eyes can't see the individual 144hz frames because of this. ULMB, which strobes the backlight, will make motion appear far more crisp even at lower refresh rates and is an actual aid for reactive gameplay, as it's faster for your brain to process.
>>52577257
Sure, but that's something different, not input lag.

1080p really does look like shit compared to 4K though.
>>52577297

>>52577297
ok. But that's not exactly a reason to wait. Unless you're so destitute that it will take more than 5 years for you to save up a couple hundred bucks, there's no reason to not buy a 1080 144hz monitor now and then a 4k 120hz+ monitor a few years down the road.
>>52577256

There is a reason not to buy 1080p. Because it looks like shit. You may want to buy 4K 60Hz instead because it's much better looking. You have to pick your poison and either get improved refresh rate or improved image quality, you can't have both.

My 1600p monitor that I got yesterday turns on, stays black for a sec, turns off. What's happening? I just blew $600 on a monitor with a no-refunds policy and it doesn't even turn on...
Curved is stupid.
4k is supid fo most stuff. Having a 4k display doesnt matter if the content you're consuming is in 1080p or your GPU can't handle 4k.
144hz is stupid for most people for the same reasons as 4k. Content is t in 144hz and most people cant drive the games they're playing at 144hz. Only CSGO players should care.
What really matters to everyone and what you left out is color reproduction/accuracy. TN vs IPS vs OLED. That matters to everyone with eyes, and should be priority #1 unless you've got a weird usage case like I've already mentioned.
>>52577822
You can fit 4 1080p displays worth of data on a proper 40" 4k display
>>52577786
try different ports/cables
if that doesn't work try DDU
if that doesn't work try another graphics card
it may be software related, for example DP behaves weird sometimes
>>52577855
Yeah no shit. Are you going to be watching 4 simultaneous netflix streams? Most people have absolutely no need for a 4k display and what they do wouldnt even look better due to content/gpu limitations. Did you read?
>>52577873
>try different ports/cables
I'll buy some new ones, see what happens
>if that doesn't work try DDU
It doesn't even show POST, so it's not a driver-related issue.
>if that doesn't work try another graphics card
I'll try and get it to work on my brother's PC, thanks for the advice, /g/oys
>>52577822
>if the content you're consuming is in 1080p
1080p upscales to 4k quite well and even looks better
>>52577901
before getting cables, try different ports first on both video card and monitor, you have to have at least two hdmi ones for sure
>>52577918
>before getting cables, try different ports first on both video card and monitor, you have to have at least two hdmi ones for sure
It's only got both one DVI cable on both the monitor and GPU, I've even tried it on the motherboard's DVI, still didn't work.
>>52577219
>does it make things look smoother?
It doesn't though. You're much better off getting gsync instead. The only worthwhile function of 120hz monitors is that 24, 30 and 60fps videos all play without judder or interpolation.
>>52577953
oh, can you help me? what is better 90-120 or 144hz for anti judder? for 24/30fps videos
i can't confirm it for myself because if i change it too often any refresh rate looks juddery to me

Freesync then, but let's be honest, AMD isn't that great anymore.
You can't call me a shill either. Pic related.
>>52565190
depends on the os mostly imo... osx does a great job giving the "retina effect" which is basically downscaled resolution with high dpis to have a more pleasant view when working (I use linux win osx so dont bother tipping ur fedora)
>>52578080
>Freesync then, but let's be honest, AMD isn't that great anymore.
>You can't call me a shill either. Pic related.
AMD currently isn't great in terms of CPUs, but yeah they're still great when talking about GPUs.
>>52578094
>osx does a great job giving the "retina effect" which is basically downscaled resolution with high dpis
That's only if you choose something other than "best for retina". By default everything on the screen is rendered with 4 times as many pixels, not downscaled or upscaled at all. If you enabled retina mode on a normal screen things would just be 4 times lager.
>>52578183
on the unrelated note - fuck windows scaling!
>>52564997
gaymin -> 144hz and <1ms input lag, everything else matters little
else hidpi is probably giving the best improvement for $$$. Maybe consider 21:9
144hz
I'm not a gamer, but why the fuck not?
Are there any benefits to 4k when the videos themselves look like shit? We need better sensor tech on the cameras instead of more megapixels.
Curved is a gimmick.
4k with good response time and 100% RGB

This is my 4th MG279Q, no dead pixels, but quite a bit of glow and 4 light bleed spots on the top of the screen (see pic). It's still the best overall of all 4 I got.

I have it set to 3840 x 2160 running at 59 hz. I game just fine on it, although it is so fuckhueg that i have to run in wondowed mode or i feel like i'm gonna fall in.
for my two cents, screen resolution for general purpose home use means that the dot pitch on the screen should be fine enough you can't see it.
flat, 4k, 59hz, overlord here, and i love it. it is so huge i lose the edges of the screen at 'normal' desktop distances

Reason 4k is the lowest is because most programs haven't figured out scaling properly and will look like ass.
>>52565107
Why tf do you need scaling?
>mfw I use a 27in 4k @native
>>52580967
no. it is one of the reasons why tv's are so prone to reflectiveness, because they can't compete with in real life brightness.
the new hdr standard is about making tv's capable to deliver 10.000 nits. this means your eye is perceiving a more accurate picture, more dynamic pictures with more bright spots and more dark spots perceived where on a normal tv, everything has about the same brightness and dark pits appear grey and the sunlight appears like a fog instead of a glare.
the reason the right hdr picture seems unreasonable bright, is because the camera is unable to reproduce the picture since it's not optimised task and your monitor isn't able to reproduce the brigthness aswell, but your eyes actually do and you will see a much clearer, natural picture, like looking out of the window.

I recently acquired an old iMac G3 and I was happy to find that it does 640x480 at 117 Hz. almost twice as fast as the 60 Hz monitors and phone panels Im used to. Just moving the mouse around felt noticeably smoother. What games / other media can I run on it to take advantage of such a high refresh rate?
144hz is a meme,constant 60 is perfect. I would focus on 4k I guess
I like 144Hz for vidya, but desu no need famalam
