Which cables do you recommend?

That Displayport cable I got works on my 4K monitor at 60Hz. You can buy up to 35 feet. I got the 25 feet version and it works perfectly, no flickering. You haven't mention what resolution you need and Hz.

High PPI display

Well I just got the 27 inch and it's at 200% scaling. The menu text are kind of cartoonishly large, as well as the window control buttons on the top right. Otherwise, text are still sharp. I like the 27 inch better. It feels roomier, even though it's the same resolution. But the rest of the...

Which cables do you recommend?

I notice the reviews about that too, but that's the only choice for the length I need. Worst case, I can just return it. I'll be testing 4K at 60Hz with the 25 feet cable. If it works, I'll keep it. I have a 144Hz monitor but it's only 1080p, so I can't test the 1440p. The 144Hz monitor uses...

Yeah that's the one I got first but it's too small. My current 1080p monitor is 24 inch, but for 4K, you would need a bigger size, even with scaling. So I went with 27 inch. It's $411 for the 24 inch, and $505 for 27 inch on Amazon. I'll test the 27 inch when I get it. If it works well, I'll get...

I just ordered Displayport to Displayport by Cable Matters 25 feet length. I'll tell you how it goes after I test it at 4K resolution on the Dell P2715Q. I don't see anyone else with that length I need.

Best LARGE 4k monitors - are they even a possiblity?

Have you tried looking at 4K TVs? I think anything that's 40 inch or bigger, you're in the TV territory. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-40-class-40-diag--led-2160p-smart-4k-ultra-hd-tv-black/3953157.p?id=1219609307257&skuId=3953157

Thanks. I was scaling based on PPI, but I'll try 200% when I get it. I haven't thought about LG. I was looking at ASUS vs Dell. Dell was the cheaper of the two and it has IPS.

It still is 2 panels. It requires 2 displayports.

Probably. I actually returned it and I'm going to get the 27 inch version. Maybe the 200% will help with that. I know it's lower PPI, but so far, the 186 PPI looks good. I just think it's a bit small for everything. If it works well, I'll get a second one of the same model. isthisretina.com...

If you are buying it for gaming, go with ASUS. Here are the monitors if you want to compare: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_n_1?fst=as%3Aoff&rh=n%3A1292115011%2Ck%3Aasus+gaming+monitor&keywords=asus+gaming+monitor&ie=UTF8&qid=1446898495&rnid=2941120011 Pick the one that has the connection...

I found that on Windows 7, the best DPI scaling is the one that matches your display's DPI. Since mine is 186 PPI, I set the scaling percentage so that it shows the same DPI, 194% in this case. It's now much clearer, and the images are sharp as I expected but at the same scale as when I used my...

1080p Gaming Monitor Help

The ASUS monitor I have (144Hz monitor) has crosshair built into the on screen display. It's great for first person shooter, especially in game servers that restricts or disables crosshairs. I just got a Dell 4K monitor and it doesn't have it. I don't know what your budget is, but here are...

I just got my screen today and it looks great... at 100% (normal) scaling. Text is tiny but I can still read it just fine. Scaling is... cartoonish. The font size is "normal", but it seems to look silly, like a comic font when I scale it to 150%. I wish Microsoft update Windows 7 to scale...

I see. So apps aren't ready to scale to compensate for higher resolution monitors. Thanks. I still am going to try a 4K anyway and see how it is. The Dell P2415Q. It's 186 PPI, not as high as 218 PPI in the iMac, but I hope it's sharp to where it's indistinguishable.

I was playing around with the new 5K iMac and I played starcraft 2 on it. The graphic sharpness is night and day between a 5K and a 1080p monitor. There's no jagged lines at all. All the polygon edges are smooth, without turning on AA. This isn't something I can exactly describe it over the...
