>>54922912

Then you can just play in a 21:9 ratio resolution as well.
Best choice.
I am working on 2 1080p at my job.
I have one 1080p at my home but I want a second or third monitor as well for programming.
What are you recommend /g/?
No gaymen or videos or anything but I would really like to work on a bigger interface like a 4k or 2*4k and this little 1080p.
>>54922740
THIS
>>54922725
None.
Anything beyond 1920x1080 16:9 it's objectively unnecessary.
>>54922725
21:9 every time. When 4K 21:9 and 8K 16:9 are the norm, I will still pick 21:9.
>>54922876
This
>>54922950
For me it is justified.
When I am working and need one browser open for UI and another for searching and a debug window and some shell window.

What is 21:9 like anon
>>54922725
it’s not a Retina™ Macbook™Pro™ so who gives a shit about your dumb tech
>>54922973
It's great for movies, and the extra real estate is rad for drawing because I can easily have a reference open up without losing space on the canvas.
Obv 4K will be better productivity-wise because of the sheer amount of pixels, but 21:9 is such a nice middle ground for everything else. Great for media, great for gaming (easier to run and you get to see more), good for productivity. It's basically a multi monitor set up without the bezels.
I don't think I'd like it at 2560x1080 but 3440x1440 is where 21:9 starts to shine.
8:5 1200p
>>54922927
This. Waiting on 144hz 40inch 4k screens hopefully in thr next 3 years. Then ill upgrade. Should last a decade. Ideally some manufacturer will allow me to have gsync + freesync too.
>>54923075
>40inch 4k
are you one of those people that didn't get the rMBP's advantage when it was first announced?
>>54923116
Wat.
>>54923130
4k is 2x 1080p.
you get a 24" 4k monitor and scale everything to 2x. everything remains the same size (see Fitts' Law; no, seriously, don't reply until you've read the first paragraph on wikipedia), but you get much sharper text, UI elements, etc...
a 40" 4k display is just a TV that you're using as a computer monitor.
>>54923144
>just a tv
No.
Dell P4317Q
Philips Brilliance BDM4350UC
>>54922740
So true. But never gsync.
>>54923155
I understand that the specs differentiate it from a TV, but 40 inches is pretty squarely in the territory of televisions.
>>54923075
the resolution is unneeded.
a 1440p 27" OLED HDR freesync monitor and i will never upgrade again

we're clearly choosing between two existing options. this isn't "contrive something that you'd like".
>>54923207
Holy fuck.
It's literally everything I've wanted for so long. Even a glossy screen.
I don't buy many things so I might actually be able to buy it for that price.
Explain to me why ppi isn't the selling point of monitors instead of resolutions
>>54923372
what are you talking about?
>>54923372
because 1080p full hd was hyped to no end and consumers are dumb idiots that just want bigger numbers.
who cares about 150 ppi when 4K has a bigger number
>>54923389
150 ppi is a bigger number than 92 ppi though, and it's more relevant in getting a clear picture instead of saying "this is 1080p" or "4k". No matter the size if you say it's x ppi you'll get a better understanding of how clear it is.
>>54923358
you know what drives me insane about this panel?
it drives by a single usb-c connection alone, video and power transmission
>>54923406
for a long time we were struggling just to manufacture displays as large as 1920x1200 across 24 or even 27".
if you're wondering what kick started the interest in high pixel density displays in desktop environments, then... take a guess
>>54923406
sure, but 92 ppi was never advertised, so the average consumer doesn't even know what that means. i think you're overestimating non tech savvy consumers. remember when cpu's were all about 'more gigahertz'?
you'd have to come up with some fancy name (like retina display) and hype the shit out of it to get consumers interested in higher ppi.
>>54923419
Wait, power as well??
Dude fucking what.
I saw that it needs usb-c for 120hz.
How little power does it draw?

I want off this stagnation ride
>>54923207
>$5000
>30 inches
>>54923465
in what way is it stagnated?
>>54923443
usb-c is able to have a poweroutput of 100watt at 20volt.
considering that an old 144hz panel like benq xl2411z consumes an average of 22watts on 80% brightness settings, an oled panel which is obviously more efficient probably consumes even less
i mean even smartphone 4k screens exist so i don't actually see this as a problem
>>54923483
it's the first announcement ever of a 4k monitor which is fantastic. oled manufacteurers from all over the world will soon hop on the bandwagon soon. hell i'd be even pleased if we just god quantum dot monitors already with those kind of specifications
>>54923493
1360x768 is the standard.
>>54923495
even the P2415Q only takes 90W at max, and it's not an especially efficient monitor (it's better than the UP2414q, but that thing is ridiculous).
you could probably power most monitors these days with USB 3.1 (if someone could be bothered to retrofit a monitor).
it's a shame manufacturers are so lazy.
>>54923558
I've never heard that in my life and I certainly wouldn't agree with it now in 2016.
>>54923611
>I don't know so it can't be true
>>54923639
no, i'm saying that nobody has ever said that 1360x768 is the standard, nor is it the standard now.
>>54923648
just because nobody talks about it doesn't mean that the most common resolution used is that because of people using old as shit laptops/macbooks
2K and 4k are a meme for monitors 24" or under
>>54923665
is there evidence of that in this thread that i'm overlooking? why did you direct your comment to those two posts if you were responding to something else?
i'm looking at some random commonly accessed pages' statistics and displays larger than 1080p constitute more than 30% of traffic. 1920x1080 constitutes like 18% of hits, and 1366x768 represents about 35%. it has a plurality, but "standard" is more than a small stretch.
next time at least qualify your initial comment with "de facto" or something. and for that matter, say more than like 5 fucking words. i'm sick of trying to pry details out of vague bitchy comments like yours.

I like the concept of 21:9, but the support isn't there for it yet and the amount of content you can play on it isn't great.
For work or videos? It is excellent. For games? Not so much. I am kind of hoping that 21:9 becomes the next big thing for TVs so we start to see more support for it.

>not using a projector

>>54933351
16:9 they haven't made ultra wide 4k's yet that's why the comparison exist. Ultrawide only is 1440p and 1080p for some older monitors. 4k 16:9 and 21:9 1440p are around the same price
Honestly I upgraded to a 1440p 16:9 monitor and I've been disappointed. The quality is much better but Windows has bad display scaling issues which only got worse in 10.

I have 60 Hz monitor. Will bigger Hz make any difference in muh animes?
>>54942260
it depends on how many fps your animes has?
>>54942260
Probably not.
>>54942323
Are there any animes that are encoded at 120Hz or higher? My assumption was no, but I haven't been paying attention to anime in years.
>>54942457
30Hz would be fine, but mousing around would be preferable at 60 or 120 or 144 or 240Hz.
There's a point of diminishing returns, but seeing your mouse not skip from one point to another as you quickly go from one corner of the screen to the other is appreciable (especially if the difference is 30 vs 60Hz, for instance).
>>54942489
What if I don't use mouse while watching anime?
>>54942529
No I'm just saying that in the general use of your computer, higher refresh rates are noticeable just doing things like moving your mouse around. It's not *purely* a gaymen thing.
>>54942542
But in animes it won't make any difference if it is not encoded in high fps?
>>54942562
If your screen refreshes 60 times per second but there are only 24 frames to show per second (let's round to 30 for simplicity's sake), then it'll just show each frame for ~2/60th of a second (yielding the source's ~30fps). If your monitor refreshes 120 times per second, it'd show each frame for 4/120th of a second (yielding 30fps again).
The "danger" is if you have 60fps content and your monitor only does 30Hz; then it'll skip every other frame to keep up and action will look pretty awful. But I have a Dell UP2414Q (for which I can't get 60Hz working, so it's stuck at 30Hz on my hackintosh) and a Dell P2415Q (another 4k monitor, but this one *does* work at 60Hz), and I could only barely tell you the difference with content or mousing around. Most content (like Game of Thrones, which I'm watching now) seems to be encoded at 24fps. I'm not sure what content (if any) I have at 60fps.
>>54942620

4k doom oh yeah menngggg
I chose months ago. 21:9 masterrace reporting in
Honestly i also was curious what 21:10 would be like, too.
I do not like 4:3, 16:9 ratios. They feel vertically cramped. I REALLY liked 16:10, but that monitor died.
I think the additional vertical real estate is neceasary so you can fullscreen applications and maintain access to the windows taskbar
But really i am happy with 21:9
I plan to upgrade to 3440x1440.
As soon as the dust settles between red v green, i will decide which gpu and monitor to buy.
I currently have amd and a freesync panel, which i appreciate, but the freesync range is limited to 48~75hz, and i would like to see an adaptive sync (either team) range between 40~120hz
Willing to pay big bucks for that plus a curved ips display
Several existing monitors come very close to these wishes, so it wont be very long before such a thing is available
But i will wait to see what 1080ti and rx490x(?) can do. Theres no reason to be biased yet
>>54948952

Freesync range is determined by the hardware manufacturer, not AMD. Where does this bullshit statement keep coming from. The Freesync range on my monitor (Asus MG278Q) is 40-140Hz.

Regularly. If anything you should feel horizontally cramped
Bring back standard 85Hz :-(
Figure this is a good thread to ask. I've got a 1440p IPS with a second 1080p monitor. I want to go to either 21:9 or 4K so I can eliminate the need for two monitors. I use my PC for gayman and school work and want freesync to make up for the performance hit. Not sure which one I should go for.
Currently using an old 4:3 monitor and I'm going to be upgrading directly to a 21:9 when I build a new computer. I just wish they were cheaper.

He's talking about which meme monitor is better to buy, friend.

Not sure 4k is shit for gaming though crysis 3 can't be maxed 60fps still

Hence freesync. You don't need to hit 60 you just need to hit the freesync range
