I'm finally upgrading to a real memestation and am stuck on what I should do for graphics. Is 4k worth it? Will I be able to find a decent monitor at a reasonable price? I want at least 2 and want them to be quality enough that I don't mind buying a third of the same type later on. These are the two I'm looking at: >Samsung U28E590D >LG 27UD58-B
It's hard when I could get 3 normal screens at a fraction of the price.
I also don't play vidya, should I be concerned about: >ips vs tn >response times >refresh rate >linux
Basically I'm worried that I'll max out just the 4k spec and end up with something that's complete garbage in every other regard. ...and having trouble finding non-affiliate non-prole recommendations
Oh yeah and lets say a hard budget of $800 on screens. Fuck it seems absurd, but I also want to be "future proofed"

If you're not gaymen get a gook 40 inch 4k.
William Diaz
>gook 40 inch 4k Considered this, but I was reading that the 30hz refresh is unbearable even for programming.
James Miller
>30 hz refresh rate You do realize that there's regular 40 inch 4k monitors with 4:4:4 and 60 fps right?
Owen Anderson
is a 4k screen better than 2 hd screens?
Andrew Ortiz
maybe for photo editing or something that requires better resolutions
I prefer two HD screens because they probably will have a higher refresh rate and I can multi task easier such as gaming and watching a video
Adrian Thompson
Any recommendations? Not OP but I plan on doing this. Looking for something fairly cheap that doesn't have vertical viewing angle problems since I will be fairly close to the screen. Also want something around 40" since I'll be using it as a TV a lot.
I have ips monoprice monitors and I'm happy with them, but they're not that model.
Brody Martin
Saw this, definitely nice. Maybe I'll just get one like this. I really wanted two, but I also don't want 2 shit monitors. Then I could justify adding the same brand and model later.
Thanks I'll look into monoprice. That qnix has a bunch of fake chinese reviews.
How much would you prioritize ips?
Elijah Johnson
>How much would you prioritize ips? I think how your monitors are set up would make the difference because the viewing angles would be a factor. I wouldn't want to have to move my head to see part of the screen correctly. I think ips has better blacks also. For me both of these are important.
I don't have experience with multiple tn panels though. Maybe someone else has a better idea.
Luke Collins
Thanks for the input. Still undecided, will probably go for the 27 inch LG in the OP. Since it has IPS and reasonable on the other specs which likely won't even matter to me.
Blake Cox
One more question, thoughts on having a 4k monitor side by side with a non-4k (say one on each side). Would this be too weird on your brain? For the price it would get a ton more screen space. I could do that sideways monitor setup I've always dreamed of.
Mason Stewart
More likely you'll have real issues with UI scaling. PPI has to be similiar to avoid it, so if you want a non-4k sister screen it's gotta be a lot smaller to play nice.
Owen Adams
I bought a 32. inch 4k koreean display and it serves me well. The realestate is a godsent.
Camden Campbell
27 inch 4k running at 1440p resolution.
Its worth it, specially on hackintosh, since they have top tier font rendering and high ress icons for everything
Benjamin Gomez
>Is 4k worth it? only if ~ 45" or ~ 23" - that one can be found for $350
I just bought the 27UD58-B. On vacation now so all I can say is that I shelled out the extra 60 dollars for it for IPS
Aiden Jones
I bought a Hisense M3000 43 inch 4k TV for £290 delivered. It's great, no input lag at all. Would recommend.
Mason Scott
Only thing I should mention is I did have to install a special linux-staging-amd kernel to get 4k 60hz with my RX 480, otherwise it was stuck at 30hz.
Aaron Barnes
>I prefer two HD screens because they probably will have a higher refresh rate and I can multi task easier such as gaming and watching a video don't forget about not having to use scaling which is useful on anything that isn't macOS or Gnome3
Isaiah Walker
I'm waiting for them to come with decent built in kvm. Like having a second PC connected picture in picture mode where you can reposition and define the resolution it takes on the screen.
Caleb Stewart
>Oh yeah and lets say a hard budget of $800 on screens. >Fuck it seems absurd, but I also want to be "future proofed"
not habbening. UHD@120+ hasn't become widespread yet, so you either pay more for a shit panel 27" one now or wait.

Parker White
You could consider the AOC u2777pqu if you don't want to spend too much. The specs are pretty good (IPS, 4ms 1000:1), it comes factory calibrated and I can even run mine at 70Hz over display port. (It technically supports up to 80Hz, but that's way out of spec for DP 1.2)

Future proof. Topkek you must be new.
Zachary Wood
lads, im slightly colorblind (have trouble differentiating between shades) so is it worth for me to get some fancier ips monitors or just stick with cheapo ones?
Hudson Adams
What is he working on? What kind of job is that?

>if you don't like my stale memes that were done to death 10 years ago then you're reddit here's another image you might find funny seeing as you just stepped out of a time portal
Jacob Price
4k 60hz is do-able in most of today gpu's and 4k screen.
Btw if u get 4k 60hz screen remember that you'll need to use at least Display Port 1.2 or HDMI 2.0.

all these pictures of traders always show a big ass screen with some big ass statistics and no news, no google, no research about anything is this how it actually work in the business?
Jayden Williams
>casual racism is a stale meme
Evan Peterson
Yes 4k is amazing Yes 4k is the future Yes 4k DOES allow you to actually multitask with shitload of windows (a 32" 4k display is equal to an array of 4 16" 1080p laptop screen)
>ips vs tn TN HAS NO RIGHT TO EXIST TN IS FUCKING ABHORRENT SHIT
Consier only buying IPS or VA family (VA/MVA/AHMVA or quantum dot) IPS still has superior color representation but poor contrast ratio, black levels and backlight uniformity VA might be slightly inferior in color but have better contrast (3000 vs 1000ips), great black levels, are faster and there are gaymen high refresh models and Quantum dot supports HDR
I would recommend you getting a large quantum dot one >good overall >supports HDR >doesnt cost an absolute fortune like OLED
If you're a total photoshop nut and you need super duper color accuracy then get one with super IPS
Jonathan Howard
This is a good monitor. The LG 27UD88 is another that is very nice.
Josiah Smith
>LG 27UD88 I would dessuade you from getting anything smaller than 32"
Seriously. Get a big one you wont regret it.
Chase Hall
I'm considering the 32UD99 but I don't want much larger than that. PPI matters a lot to me.
