since I saved money with the coupon I *had* to go with the $25 next day shipping. =-)

I'm a sucker for DPI.

Please post some pics & a short review when you get it! That's awesome that they're becoming available for non-insane prices!

It would be great if 1440 monitors would start to show up on the market for $300. Going from 1080 to 2160 seems like a huge and expensive jump.

I think I will just look into 4K TV's instead since they will be much cheaper.

 

[EliteRetard]

Apparently the 28" will be cheaper than the 24" or 32".

I still want a high DPI monitor with better than 60Hz.
Maybe we can now get some 24" 1600p at 120Hz.

MUST WAIT FOR 28" SUB-$1K! no capslock

 

[CuriousMike]

What's glorious about this is in another 1-3 years, we will have $300, 4k monitors.
I welcome this long-overdue monitor revolution.

55" 4k 1500$ after MIR

After MIR? How about a 4K 55" for $849 OTD?

yeah, hisense and seiki are the same off-the-shelf brand to me... now if it were a sony or samsung 4k at that price... that's something else..

Yeah, HiSense was the Seiki of Christmastime sales last year. Walmart had crazy prices on the 1080p models!

Not sure why you guys are posting inferior 4k TV's in my thread. In fact there is so much fail in the description of both of those ads. Cheap,4k,120hz,HDMI... I dunno 'bout that. I realize that the newer HDMI spec can pull it off but I'm not sure of any video cards out with those ports. I'm sure adapters are hit or miss. Panel quality, sure to be a big trade off for the price.

And as a "monitor"? 55"? nah...

Just a discussion of 4K display technology

A lot of people use televisions as displays. I got my dad setup earlier this year with a 50" 1080p television as his computer screen ($399 too!). The color accuracy & DPI are terrible, but he primarily uses it for CAD modeling, so it's super-awesome because it's a huge size. If you need accuracy, you definitely need a monitor. I can't see myself ever using anything but a monitor for my primary display, but it's a cool option to have!

Im all for discussion, but...

Hot deals are to discuss the hot deal on hand, just saying...

It definitely is, but it's also to discuss better deals & deals related to the OP (this is a discussion forum, after all ). For example, the 24" 4K is pretty nice, but if you don't require accurate color (say if you don't do Photoshop or video color grading), modern 4K UltraHD televisions offer more screen real estate at a lower cost. Check out this review on the 39" Seiki 4K TV:

$649 on Amazon:

So relevancy is also a key point for Hot Deals discussion threads...for $520 less, you can get an extra 15" of screen size if you don't require color accuracy, which is a pretty good savings and an even hotter deal, depending on your needs. However, we can button up discussion on non-Dell-4K displays if you'd like

How well does Windows scale with high DPI?

Can you make it look normal (taskbar and everything is increased in size) or is it only fonts that you can make bigger? I tried it many years ago and it looked terrible. OSX and iOS are great as proven on their retina displays but I wonder if Windows can do the same.

I dont know about windows 8 but 7 is terrible

Same, haven't tried it with 8, but I've tried it with 7 and it looks like "OS by Fischer Price" :thumbsdown:

Is that display capable of 60hz at 4k? Cant watch the review right now but looking at the amazon link seems as though 4k is only 30hz

I don't know how they'd do it, but it'd be amazing to have a vector-based, GUI-drive OS shell that can handle any resolution you throw at it. Especially with newer technology like the Retina displays, where you can't even see the pixels - so if you're older or wear glasses (basically have bad eyesight) you can zoomify it for normal operation, but run it at lower res to look at a big spreadsheet, for coding, etc.

Did you adjust/tune your ClearType settings?

At 4k, it is 30hz. This is a limitation of HDMI 1.4.

I would recommend you run games at 1080p, which will run 60hz, and probably "upscale" through interpolation, which would have the effect of 2x anti-aliasing.

I'm not sure how good the Seiki display is at upscaling... but I know my Onkyo can make 480p look decent upscaled to my 1080p 60" plasma (though animations really shine). 1080p should be pretty decent, since it would interpolate the pixels in between.

I'm not sure why anybody would want to game at 2160p... you aren't gaining much of anything at the expense of increasing the load on your GPU by a factor of 4.

I haven't gotten a 4k "monitor" yet... but I would like to see a decent review with practical application - i.e. gaming at 1080p, scaling Windows and tuning ClearText, and an serious look at eye fatigue with hours of viewing.

If I was to get rolling with this, I'd probably go with 2 37" displays, mounted on VESA arms.

 

[Kaido]

Did you adjust/tune your ClearType settings?

Yup, and every other tweak I could find. I just didn't like how the larger DPI made the Windows interface look. Not a biggie since I run all of my stuff at native resolutions, but it's kind of bugged me on the systems I've setup for other people.

 

[fleshconsumed]

I just got dual 27" 25x14 Microcenter Aurias last year, and I only paid $860 for two of them. I'm glad to see PC monitors finally moving past 1080p resolution, but my Aurias run great and I've got zero issues with scaling at their native resolution. I'll pass until the prices go down to more reasonable level and MS improves the high res scaling.
