Andrew1 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Just wondering, Spending more than 10 hours a day at time lol designing I have been using 2 displays, one is a Asus 27" monitor as secondary display and primary a 40" samsung LED tv 1080p.. Having the large Tv at my desk sitting 2.5 ft away from the screen there is no way of avoiding not seeing the blurry distortion when in 2d vector or 3d wireframe editing... I have been thinking about upgrading to a 4K - 40" tv as a primary display and getting rid of the 1080 display... Do you guys use the 4k display at all ?? if so is the clarity of the display substantially better I would think set at 2160... I got a gtx780 and I know I can run it at 2160... Would I be using a standard HDMI port or DVI port or perhaps the DP port to obtain 2160? any input would be appreciated, thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notamondayfan Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 WTF 40" TV on your desk? I thought my 26" monitor was large enough. I think I'd get headaches if I went any larger, not to mention neck strain too! What advantage do you find working at the size?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew1 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 WTF 40" TV on your desk? I thought my 26" monitor was large enough. I think I'd get headaches if I went any larger, not to mention neck strain too! What advantage do you find working at the size?! Well it's the over all space, you zoom in and out a lot less when working on details..., the same applies when you use x4 split viewport..., it's a lot easier to see everything... I can tell you if you tried it you would never go back to anything smaller.... The only problem is sitting too close to the screen as the definition of resolution does not yield nice sharp lines but a bit pixelated result and this is the reason I am thinking about trying a 4K display instead... I just seen a Samsung 4K- 120Hz here in Ca for $800 and I got a buyer for my 1080 so I would have to spend only $500 to upgrade which is not a big deal... 40" display rocks... and no problems with neck or headaches at all... Bradley thanks for the link it was an interesting find , but I think if I have the display at my desk the icons and the windows interface would be perfectly visible at 40" opposed to the 27" that the poster relates to... at 27" going 4k would definitely make everything very small.... thanks guys !

Andrew1 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 well I think I am gonna give it a shot..., the worst can happen is returning this tv back to the store... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew1 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Well, I need to run back now to Future Shop and return that TV lol, it did not work as expected, very disappointed.. so much lag , 3ds would not show lines in wire frame all the text menus were so small, but the windows interface was ok mind you had to be setup as 150% size at 2160. The tv is great but not for computing at 4K, even when I set the tv to 1080 there was still lag from mouse and keyboard, I will be using my existing 40" 1080 samsung as it works great except for minor visual imperfections.... Lesson learned..., I will give myself one more day to see if there is anything else that can be done. Thank you for all the replies. Andrew Quick update: The mouse and keyboard lag was completely eliminated by renaming the HDMI input to PC, it performed very well, and I just want to say that the TV is absolutely PC ready, however the software and the os is the problem, especially 3ds and PS would open in 2160 the interface was unusable other software would open in 1080 and would look blurry, photos and video displayed amazingly stunning... I wish I could just keep this tv and make it work, it's a great display but at least a year ahead of it's time...
