2014 - The year of 4k? 28" 4k $699+. 1440p 120Hz too!

[yourdietsucks]

wow, so it only happens w/ SLI? crazy sound too

yes, its only when sli is enabled. the sound is due to the video being shot in 120fps.

that video's 120fps? mind putting up the original source? (well, considering that youtube downscales it to 30fps lol

 

[Wag]

I have no problems with SLI on mine, this is with 3 Titans.

can you please test your monitor with dual sli and see if you notice the bottom portion flicker? try a few different games as well. I would like to know if mine had a shoddy controller or if its an sli issue. thank you

Works fine set for 2+1 card as dedicated PhysX controller (that's the only way I could set it, I couldn't turn off the 3rd card).

what cables are you using?

i just helped a friend troubleshoot his computer over the weekend. long story short (after multiple hw swaps), turned out the DisplayPort cable was faulty/caused shorts. WTF!!!

 

[Wag]

The included cable should be adequate.

I posted mine to Craigslist (at a loss). Let's see what happens.

I tried three different display port cables. all of which were high quality but this is always a possibility.

So, it looks like this monitor does not use MST to achieve 60Hz at 4K after all.

Someone at Nvidia confirmed it:

Hopefully this goes for the 31" IPS Samsung is coming out later with as well.

he posted the monitor to craigslist UK, lol. i think he got a $100 partial credit/refund and is gonna sell the monitor at a loss.

bummer about the cable. good luck!

Can anyone with the Samsung let us know how long the included DP cable is?

 

[Mondozei]

A few newbie questions:

1. When are going to, realistically, see the first DP 1.3 displays?
2. Ditto for HDMI 2.0?
3. Will either DP 1.3 or HDMI 2.0 support a 100+ Hz 4K display, bandwidth wise?
4. Will you need to upgrade anything client-side(such as mobo) to support either DP 1.3 or HDMI 2.0?

1. 2015 probably
2. This year, Eizo is releasing some 4K displays that will have HDMI 2.0. However, since they cater to the pro market, expect a very high price tag. I don't know of any consumer focused monitors coming that are set to have HDMI 2.0. There are TV sets with HDMI 2.0 out now, so certainly nothing is preventing manufactures from adding it.
3. DP 1.3 will, not sure about HDMI 2.0
4. Video card will need to be updated, and apparently the next wave of GPUs aren't coming until Q4/early 2015. No word on if they'll have HDMI 2.0 or DP 1.3.

Awesome sauce, thanks for clear and concise answers!

I still haven't sold mine yet. I don't know if it's because of my listing price or if people on Craigslist have no idea what a 4k display is?

 

[AkumaX]

Well, in the process of waiting I missed NCIX's insanely low price of $529. Now if I want to buy it again I'll have to pay $699.

I remember that day - I'm sure that was an error. On the site, every time I tried to add it @ $524, it appeared as $599 in my cart. I was going to call CSR but then it changed back to $599.

It even blinked @ $524 before changing back to $599. I had to stop the javascript on the site in order to stop it from loading the new price.

 

[Wag]

I was going to order a 2nd one @ the lower price but if I couldn't sell my current one I'd be stuck with it.

I suppose they'll hit $599 again, but I don't think I'll wait. If I manage to unload my current one I'll just buy a new one for the lowest price I can find one and suck it up. 4k is an amazing experience, I just can't go back to anything less at this point.

I didn't know you were still in the market for one, newegg and amazon actually hit $599 for 1 day earlier this week!

I know, that's why I have to sell mine for $500. Samsung is selling it for $599 right now. It kills me that I paid $754 for it. Hopefully no one will care about the backlight issues I have with it.

 

[Wag]

Well, I finally sold it (only taking a $154 loss ). Now I have to decide whether I want to buy it again or wait for another display to come out (who am I kidding, I'll probably just buy it again for $599).
