Got 4K?

[Bateluer]

?? These monitors are 60Hz IPS panels.

Aye, but you've bought 3 of them to get to the UHD level resolutions, leaving you with 3 gigantic bezels. My twin 1440p panels will easily last me until I can get a single 4K 60Hz display later this year. UHD resolutions, no bezels.

 

[lavaheadache]

I don't think you know what is going on here... those are 3X 60hz 4k panels

lol wut? Did you even read the OP?

These are THREE 4K MONITORS - EACH monitor is 4K - 3840x2160 x 3 = 6480x3480.

 

[futurefields]

It's that time of year again!

Just set everything up.

Do you often have to dismantle your rig? I notice when you make these threads you usually make a comment about having "just set everything up" yet your setup looks the same to me. Do you use this thing like once a month? Seems like a waste to me to have a setup like this if you arent using it every day :twisted:

 

[spat55]

Can't read the first page, all those pics crash my PC! Would like a eyefinity setup myself but want to get one card only to power it would be difficult (1440p).

 

[Attic]

Yea, do want. But I want 60" 4kHD screens x 3 along with about 2000watt 7.1 audio setup.

I will be at 1080p for long time though i think.

 

[BrightCandle]

How do you find the increase in fidelity, does the image look that much sharper and clearer compared to the previous lower PPD screens you had?

 

[Obsoleet]

I run a 3 monitor rig, 1x1920x1080 27", 2x 1050x1680 22" and have tried Eyefinity gaming with different triple monitor configurations and really do not like the bezels.

That said, I do think it's cool what the OP did here. Not for me, I may replace my center monitor with a 4K, but I doubt it.

Just going all-in with a Oculus Rift 1080, and then upgrading to the Oculus Rift 4K when it's released. That's where my money is going.

I have a Oculus Rift dev kit. I love it, but its going to take much more than 1080p to make it usable for any length of time. I'd wait for the 4k personally.

I've been wondering about that.. I hope you're wrong though.

This thread is too elite I couldn't even find the reply text box.. had to scroll so far to the right on my crappy 1080p.

lol I feel your pain.

Sort of...they use 2x30hz scalers (tiled) rather than a true 60hz screen. I REALLY want the 32 4k Dell, but will not bite until they have a HDMI 2.0/DP 1.3 with a single 60hz scaler.

Edit: if you read the reviews, you can see the concern around this, and the 'odd' behavior these screens can cause with drivers...a little bit of a hack-job IMHO, but WAY better than a 30hz only option.

NICE screens though. Jelly.

 

[OCGuy]

You win, sir. You win.

 

[Baasha]

Thanks guys!

The performance w/ 4 GK110 GPUs is quite strong I have to say! I thought they would be brought to their knees with 25MP resolution.

Btw, if anyone wants that Skyrim wallpaper @ 25MP, get it here: Skyrim 4K Surround Wallpaper

 

[RaulF]

Many pixels, such resolution. Much Wow!

Fify :biggrin:

 

[Skott]

A few months ago I switched over to a 42" TV as my main monitor. After doing all the adjustments it's totally awesome. I sit 4-5 feet away and It's only 1080p but I have no complaints. And no bezels in the middle. Maybe you should have tried a 4k TV. Could have spent way less and I think you'd be happier. I honestly don't think I even need 4k. And it's not a massive resource hog. Just running it off of one 760 GTX.

What brand and model 42" are you using?

[Baasha]

Baasha, Simply STUNNING! May I ask what the rest of your computer specs are? (i.e. cpu, hdd, psu etc?)

My bad.. just saw this.

Specs are:

Monitor used: 3x Dell UP2414Q (4K) in Portrait Mode (6480x3840)
GPUs: 4x EVGA GTX-Titan SC in 4-Way SLI @ 1150MHz
CPU: i7 3970X @ 4.8GHz
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133Mhz (32GB)
PSU: Antec HCP-1200
OS: Corsair Force GT 120GB SSD
Games/Programs: 8x Vertex 4 128GB SSD in RAID-0

He is not. A Swedish tech site whose editor had tried both v1 and v2 basically wrote up a column about this. He has no glasses ans didnt experience a lot of dizzyness like a lot of testers. Yet he stated that he could still see the pixels even if it was not as blatant as before. And Oculus agrees.

Sweclockers(not the same tech site as previously mentioned) did an intervire with Luckey where he heavily hinted that 1080p isnt going to ship in the final consumer product. It will most likely be 1440p at first. But 4K is the natural progression, but you'd have to wait until smartphones get there, because Oculus uses 5.5 inch smartphone-esque glass.

Still, 4K games on VR will mean that it will not get mainstream adoption until at least 3 years from now when a single budget card can run 4K resolution competently. And 3 years is optimisitc, but not unrealistic.

 

[Mondozei]

And by the way, the necessity of 1440p minimum means that Sony's VR project is doomed, because this console generation even struggles with 900p, so forget 1440p and especially 4K.
This is also why Valve believes VR can only work on PC.


Question to OP: do you do a lot of reading on that setup, beside web-browsing? PDF's and filetypes like that? If so, can you comment a bit on it, aside from the obvious "its better"?

 

[skipsneeky2]

Thought of a single somewhat modern decent fps title that would most likely play just fine on a single 4k monitor with a single gtx780ti/Titan and that would be Counter Strike GO.

Word, PDFs, Excel etc. scale beautifully with Win 8.1 Pro's built in DPI scaling. I have it set at 200% so most of the regularly used programs scale well.

The issues arise when certain programs don't scale their UI, like Sony Vegas or Photoshop. The words, menus, etc. are incredibly tiny and are a nuisance.

Other than this little niggle, I am loving this setup!

 

[CitanUzuki]

I apologize if this has been asked already but how does 1080p look on a single monitor? Some say it should look perfect and others say it will still look terrible.

I'm not sure how 1080P looks on a single monitor since going to single screen is not a option for me - 3x1 Portrait makes it hard to view thins with one screen.

However, I have watched several 1080P videos full screen with this setup and it doesn't look half-bad.

Even that 4K Surround video I posted is 1080P - viewing it fullscreen I thought would make it look like dung. It looks pretty good. 4K videos on the other hand, look incredible (doh!).
