This got to be the greatest scam ever

This got to be the greatest scam ever.

4k resolution is going to become the norm in 2018 and people are already buying ultrawide memes without realizing that it supports questionable and inferior resolutions, display ratio, causes neck pain, causes mouse inaccuracy, comes with issues requiring RMA over and over and much more. I haven't noticed an increase in my productivity since I bought this piece of shit and I'm thinking about going back to three monitors.

I really want people to know this is a terrible fucking meme but the autists who bought it will insist it's the best purchase ever so they can justify wasting money on this shit.

maybe your just an idiot?

Whats shit about it?
Most of the issues sound like a firmware/software issue, so maybe the monitor you bought is just shit or your computer is shit

>4k resolution is going to become the norm in 2018
Fucking 1920x1080 is barely "the norm" you idiot.

>being a clueless faggot, the thread
You can be an ignorant idiot sitting alone in a dark corner user, no need to make a fucking thread about it.

Maybe on laptops but at this point the cheapest desktop monitors you'll find are going to be at least 1080p. there is still a few lesser resolution ones out there still available but for a guy going to just get a monitor from best buy or some place 9/10 its going to be 1080p

How the fuck is using 2-3 monitors better in any way? Literally the only difference is you don't have to deal with fucking bezels, are you sure you aren't just too retarded to tile windows properly?

>dead pixels and bleed is firmware/software issue

I knew Sup Forums is dumb but this takes the cake.

>muh bezels

grow up autist

We get it, youre poor.

> not horizontal 21:9 + vertical 16:9

top is shit for watching videos

literally no OS can scale correctly to 4k, and 2018 is not going to get any better

Its pretty sweet to watch film in its native res without any black bars at all
This fills the entire screen when on full screen
21:9 is not a meme its the future. memeber when we used to use 4:3 aspect ratio then it went 8:5(16:10) then 16:9 now 21:9

youtube.com/watch?v=lEMrkNXknrc

muh black bars autists are the stupidest and worst people on the planet

How is it a meme to fill your screen on the native film res?
Would you rather crop part of the film off? watch it with black bars?

you're fucking dumb the monitor in the middle is the center monitor

>wide anything, ever
1600×1200 for lyfe.

Unusable horizontal screen space is worth less than usable vertical space

>i'm using my computer exclusively for "content consumption"
How about you kill yourself or at least try and do something productive. Get a TV if you want to watch movies.

why are you reccomending two extra monitors right next to the main monitor as seen here
Clearly you want more screen space on the sides not on the tops or else it would be arranged on top of each other..
Do they have 21:9 televisions?
And no I dont use it only for content consumption the extra width is similar to having a vertical 16:9 on the side of a normal 16:9 there are addons that lock out portions of screen space if you need too

i have a living room and 65" monitor for muh videos.

>the extra width is similar to having a vertical 16:9 on the side of a normal 16:9
Yeah, and 16:9 sucks to begin with. And there aren't *that* many situations where you even want extra monitors, so most of the time the extra width is just wasted. It would be far superior if the manufacturers wasted to same amount of raw material and production effort into something that's useful by default instead of needing speshul setups to be useful in uncommon circumstances.

4k isn't going to be the norm for another 10 years minimum.

Fuck, the only people who even care are gaymurs and you need like 2x high end GPUs to even come close to pulling off 4k 144hz currently.

One of the FEW advantages LCDs had over CRT was the pixel perfect geometry
Why are they throwing it away with these meme curved shit?

>not 3200x2400

If you have such a monitor, please tell me where to get it.

the ultrawide meme is just their way of getting rid of unusable 4k panels. a huge cluster dead pixels on the top of the panel? no problem. just lop it off and sell it as an """ultrawide""".

Windows 10 and osx have great scaling. Not everyone runs shitty linux distros.

90% of media is 1080p, some is 4k. Almost nothing comes in "theatrical" resolutions.

>4k isn't going to be the norm for another 10 years minimum.
No, just because amd doesn't support 4k doesn't mean it is 10 years away. 1080tI supports 4k at 60hz easy. Which means next gen 2080 will do the same. And 208pti will be a 1440 4k beast.

>Fuck, the only people who even care are gaymurs and you need like 2x high end GPUs to even come close to pulling off 4k 144hz currently.
Content creaters, programmers, anyone that stares at text and wants things crisp and clear.

GUISE SHUT THE FUCK UP

ULTRAWIDES ARE FOR CONSUMERS
MULTIPLE MONITOR SETUPS ARE FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED SHIT DONE

/THREAD

50+ inch 16:9 TV ≥>>>>>> 34 inch 21:9 montior

A huge TV will always be a more immersive experience for movies than a smaller 21:9 monitor.

Now you are just making shit up. Panels do not work that way.

please, get on my 1920x1200 level

That movie was fun, shame when the blue guy died. Also, blue guys weapon is my favourite sci fi weapon of all time, give me that shit over a light sabre or a phaser any time.

why the fuck doesn't your best buy still sell off crts

I miss 1680*1050 desu, shame my syncmasterr died, was good enough res that the image was nice and crisp while still being alittle less demanding than 1080

...

The problem with ALL monitors is one of poor quality control and inferior display technologies in general. Dead pixels. Poor uniformity. Backlight bleed. Latency. Adaptive sync. Color accuracy. Image burn etc.

The problem is there is no perfect display technology (OLED is a meme for static images and fuck expensive).

Also there is the problem of cost of manufacture. To guarantee that perfectly uniform display with zero dead pixels the cost increases substantially as many inferior panels would have to be discarded during manufacturing process.

It is why there is such huge variation and luck of the draw on buying a new monitor.

Then of course there is the software side of things dealing with 'odd' aspect ratios and GPU's possibly not powerful enough to drive them.

Curved, ultra widescreen monitors of course amplify the above issues.

How big does my GPU need to be to play 1440p at 144hz

Can we go back to CRTs now?

yes they do you buffoon

meant for

>My expirience was poor so everyone else is wrong

Okay then. Just stop blog posting and fucking hang yourself already.

>4k resolution is going to become the norm in 2018

Source: your ass

go to a monitor store nigger. They're still selling fucking 1366x768 crap. 900p MAYBE. 1080p are the "almost premium" ones.

The problems you are describing are mostly caused by the curvature, less the 21:9 ratio.

1080ti

You could have just stated you suck big nigger dicks instead of writing that long post.
21:9 master race

Lol no, business is still all over 1600x900 since they can get 1500 of them for 5$ a piece

you can get a 1080p monitor for like 90 bucks on amazon....

Amazon is for niggers

Except 3 high quality monitors is much more expensive than a single ultra meme monitor.

G-Sync is a better scam

>inferior ... display ratio, causes neck pain, causes mouse inaccuracy
Opinion invalidated.

God this is such a dumb consumerism board just like Sup Forums. Who the fuck cares what kind of screen you have as long ss it's suitable for you.

Suck it poorfags my 1440p 35" 100hz UW and 1080ti combo is glorious to a level you will not reach for years and years

Electro emissive quantum dots, aka QLED, are near perfect and will be here soon (~2020). Displays based on this tech will have better color gamuts than OLEDs, their brightness will be much better than OLED, they will have better motion resolution than even Plasmas, they don't suffer burn in or image retention due to their inorganic nature, and will have higher efficiencies than the best LCDs and OLEDs displays. Their cost of manufacturing is also predicted to be low since they can be deposited via an ink jet like process instead of CVD.

>they can get 1500 of them for 5$ a piece
yeah right

>Advertising a 2017 monitor with an image from 2005

Interesting

>90% of media is 1080p

No, it's not. Have you failed to notice that you have letterboxing on about 95% of movie release?

B-but they look so good

Brainlet here

Geeksquad pls explain what monitor has perfect blacks, best contrast, and 120Hz and low response time. I need it for quake and PTSD sims, i promise i will install Gentoo when i figure out Niggerbuntu on my laptop.

pic somewhat related(moms are technology)

no monitor such exists
VA panels have the best contrast and full blacks, but they are prone to ghosting which is annoying in games. There are a bunch of Samsungs and Acers with VA panel.

IPS panels have great response time, virtually no input lag, but have poor contast that seems worse than it is due to ips glow

TN panels have basically the same contrast as IPS, but no glow, so its percieved as better. However its more prone to clouding, gamma shift, awful viewing angles, pixel inversion and color banding. At least it is the fastest of the bunch, best for autistic gamers.

4k is pure consumer idiotism.There are like 2 movies with true 4k resolution,both of them demos,the rest is upscaled.If you want shit done multiple screens will always beat one big.But hey,at least its something people can brag about and show off how rich they are.
Cant wait for the 4k phones with 5" screens.

My office has dual 1440p for every desk.

>PTSD sims
??

My last CRT died and i've gone to stores looked at the high end monitors in action, they are all unimpressive compared to a massive shitbox viewsonic CRT.
Thanks for the spoonfeeding though, and fuck whomever is responsible for not making SED happen.

ARMA, Squad, Tarkov, etc.
They're notorious for making vets combat clench.

disgusting

get a better job, I love my UW

>not using 4:3 or 5:4
???

Ultrawide was relevant for a couple if years due to a lack of 4k options and the relative strength of video cards

Ultrawide loses vertical space vs 4k, no getting around that fact

All we see is post-purchase rationalisation, all the Chads are using massive 4k screens

>not waiting until 4k ulrtawide come out next year

also look at this

>He's too poor to get that 32:9 samsung monitor

Do you even understand what norm is?
1080Ti is not cheap, ffs.

4K is trash and requires a very large expensive monitor in order to maintain any sort of productivity. I couldn't care less about muh 4K textures in gayming.
>Inferior resolutions
Says you.
>Display Ratio
Says you.
>Causes neck pain
Only if you sit 1 foot away from a 34 inch UW monitor which sounds plausible considering it would take a retard to make such retarded thread.
>causes mouse inaccuracy
LMAO
>issues and RMA
never had any issues with my monitors, whether they were 16:9, 16:10, 4:3 or 21:9, stop ordering chink shit.
>increase in my productivity
That's because the most productive thing you've done this week was shitposting on Sup Forums.

Seriously fuck off and get banned like every retarded "is x a meme?" poster should.

>4k resolution is going to become the norm in 2018
2028, more like.

Christ, she even has cellulite in her forehead.
