I have 1 4K screen. I won't even lie the first thing I did was find 4K porn...
+Peter Quill (starlord) how is the vr? Seems gimmicky but people trying to sell them to us arent saying that OR saying it's good.
+Shawn Jones also steam reviews praise vr but steam is mostly 6-12 year olds and they would say a literal turd in a plastic bag for $40 was a good purchase
wait until 4k support 10 bits color depth and high dynamic rang ( 4k porno will be much more realistic ) .
Why have i not done this yet?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?! BRB...
رمضان الله يهديك
4:20 this must have been the inspiration for south park warcraft episode XD
Due to your video I made the plunge and got a 55 inch 4k tv . It replaced my 4 other screens smaller. Wow you are right! Crisp image. HDMI 2.1. 60 Hertz. No lag on game mode. I have a smaller 27 inch screen on the side if I want to fire up someing else. My HP omen gaming laptop I diving the screen without an problems. Thank you Sir...your tips and tricks have helped me a lot.
I need a mouse that is directly soldered to the cpu
I wish he gave a model #
yeah me to
Haters gonna hate, I'm just gonna sit back and potate in front of my 50" screens :P
I watch a lot of youtubers, you're the only one to have those magnificent and tricky 3 screens.
700$? that is half of 34 inch gsync monitors. I wonder if you ever used them long enough to compare. I mean you probably have tested it but it's different when using it daily. I am contemplating between this 2 option.
4K 50" over here in MY is horribly expensive it's almost the same price as the Acer 34 gsync
My 55" 4K OLED (with 0.02ms response time) does me fine. One day I'll have 3 :)
0.02 ms response time and 30-50ms input lag.
Thats one sturdy table
I was too concentrated on the sexy pose
I think it's like 2 massive dinner tables it looks just like my families old one
Yup, those are Ikea Dinner tables. Jerry mentioned it in a video or two (I think in his room tour video).
my thoughts
HAHAAHAHAAA
It makes me to happy to see this from someone that knows what they are talking about! I purchased a Sony XBR-49X830C that I've been using as a monitor and I've read negative comments, and disturbing information about how I did the wrong thing and made me second guess everything I spent hours searching about differences and input lags and you really made a smile on my face knowing that despite all the mayhem about how wrong it is, that it's really just as good as I originally thought! I got on the remote and double checked all the settings made some adjustments and I'm once again inspired. I am running a EVGA 970 SC and it actually runs any game I've thrown at it very well at 4K but I am planning on buying a 1080 MSI or Gigabyte water cooled card once they are actually instock and for sale so I can really see what 4k gaming is all about. Thank You Barnacules!
Tony Stark: How do you see all this?
Barnacules: I turn.
Tony: Sounds exhausting.
Hahaha I had to laugh, because that actually was pretty much in the movie. xD
I think something that doesn't get mentioned enough is PWM backlighting. The majority of even 4K tvs still use this which causes eye strain and bad motion clarity. Most modern monitors use DC backlighting which solves these issues and are usually branded as flicker free.
3 screens are for poor people! Great Vid Jer.
😆😆
25 screens are where it's at!.
+TheDogeGamer you mean your whole wall...
no, 3 walls.
You missed out the floor and ceiling... And while we're at it we may as well just live in VR and have virtual screens. So what is the max resolution of each eye cause we need that on each eye.
Thanks for keeping this video up - I used it 2 years ago to work out a problem with my 4k tv/pc monitor. And found myself reviewing the video again to set up my new 4k tv.
while im not using UHD TVs, i am using Samsung HD TV/Monitors i got from costco a while ago along side some curved monitors. this video helped with my screen matching issues a ton, never knew that all those TV settings had such an adverse effect on the image, and setting them to off or neutral settings really solved my problems!
Once I plugged my laptop into a "40 LED I can't imagine using anything smaller for my desktop setup.
As cool as 4k sounds... I couldn't give up 1440p at 165hz... :D
"2.5K" is still better than 1080p yeah :)
lol same :D
Rocking PG279Q!
1440p it's the best everyday stuff, 4k still has many scaling/size problems imo
agreed......personally the 1440p and high refresh rate beats out more pixels with lower refresh/fps
for me i couldn't give up 42" & 4K for 27" plus 144hz
best way is to buy both for different kind of games
4k UHD is great for gaming on pc.. Ive had a setup with 2x 4k UHD tv´s and it was awesome all way through , no problems at all
Good god, this is bringing back flashbacks with my own Samsung 4k setup....I Office Spaced that damn TV...with a wrench. Hated that damn thing so bad, zero regret in losing the sunk cost and upgrading to a TV that just worked out of the box.
4:20 all i can picture is that wow player from south park!!!! lol, i would love to see that setup in person
We're all jealous of your setup Barn Nerd. Soo Jealous!! ;'(
+Ragaman but you didn't explain
Ragaman
You're totally right. I'm still jealous that he gets to give that setup all the love instead of me though. So we're both right and wrong ;?
Collin Halligan
Googles better at explaining things nehow ;)
You look like Jesus
ACZcamsUSER
That's why my name starts with 'Christ' ;D
I just found my 2 missing Club 3D converters the other day and noticed this is the video where I showed them. I now use an 8k version downstairs that does 4k/120 also.
Can't believe I'm just watching this now. I too have been using this as a secondary computer monitor to my Asus ROG Gaming Laptop. Been using it this way for the past 3 almost 4 years. I bought the same Samsung UHD TV on a black Friday and have been enjoying it as my PC monitor since I got it.
Is it me or the screens look small in front of Barnacules. 😉😬😉. Awesome Video as always :)
BTW Barnacules you are awesome :).
That's because he is fucking huge
+davidtburr ya haha
I could tell you're a foreigner by your terrible writing.
+RD Pnoy ?
I use a 48" 1080p setup. I have to get really close to the screen to see pixels. I jumped on the TV as a monitor a good while ago. Bigger is better for display panels. I don't miss the 21" limit that VGA CRT's seemed to have back in the day.
The only drawback is you can't do high refresh like 120-144hz. I would love it if I could do 1080p at 120hz on a 50" screen. And that's native, no interpolation.
Barnacules Nerdgasm Oh wow! The man himself answers me. I see no drawback. I've never had a display capable of higher than 60 fps, thus have no frame of comparison. I don't have enough cash flow to start testing them either. I already put most of my loose change into geekish gadgets.
At the distance I sit from my 55 inch I think it might be a little too big. Mostly that it is so wide. The tv flanking me on my right side is ok but back to the corners where they meet is somewhat of a hard spot to see without moving my eyes to look directly at it.
I have a 5.5 inch 1080p phone and I can see the pixels
Rot_Bear you're a dumbass bigger is not better you could have gotten a 144hz 1080p monit for less than you paid and if you are gaming on pc with a 60hz tv I pitty you
You and Jay are the only real tech geeks on CZcams! Not salesmen.
This was excellent. I've been doing this 22 years and used to do TV company rep work professionally as well. I've literally told people every point you covered (particularly about PPI) and love to laugh when they ignore me and go buy something they won't be happy with.
Again, great video. 100% PERFECT
PS: i'm personally still hoping SONY will bring their CLEDIS tech back to TV's, the tech was originally demoed opposite a Plasma and was amazing.
For now, those CANVAS walls are something I want to see in person. That doesn't have the aging issues of OLED.
I'm currently using a 55'' tv for my monitor and I find it more comfortable then a small computer monitor
ZeroGamer what about your eyes
ZeroGamer That's massive strain on your eyes
Then wear blue light glasses
Ive got a sony 65" 4k tv. Works great with my ps4pro nswitch and my pc. Got a i74790k gtx 1060 6gb . lovely
@@paulattree4171 Congrats?
"If you have an OLED option that's not too expensive..."
Now a year later--damn OLED you expensive.
Worth it
Finally got around to using a 40” 4k tv as my monitor and what a game changer. Should’ve listened to you 3 years ago lol.
I just wanted to say that i am not a gamer or that into PCs for that matter but i watched this entire video and was interested the entire time. I love that you can just talk about this stuff. Very smart, very cool. I learned some stuff today
Bustin makes me feel good!
im not impressed, if you had 3 98 inch 4k ips 235hz for 40000$ would be ok for me
40k $ is for each tv
I'm pretty sure he doesn't have that kind of money
+Thief Lmao that was a joke...
sounds like something Linus would do
but he would need 3 hdmi cables, so $3000
I too recently went from 3 x 27" monitors to 1 x 27" and 1 x 49" curved 4k TV and it is freaking awesome. I initially looked at buying a 34" ultrawide which only does 1440p at a cost here in Australia of $1800. So for $1300 plus $570 for a second GTX1070 I now have awesome instead of great.
If you do the research to game in 4k on a tv just look for a refresh rate of 20ms or lower and you will have no problems. I am currently doing Tom Clancys Ghost Recon Wildlands in 4k with no issues whatsoever.
I grew up in the olden days when TVs only had 525x480i resolution and 25 inches was considered a big screen. Modern 4K is mind blowing to me.
so at 00:18 is the flickering on the right side tv normal?
That looked more like screen tearing due to VSYNC not being on.
I think that tearing was his wallet.
actually, it's a panel issue. some panels like sony as well can have graphical glitches when showing 60hz 4k. just turning the panel "tv" off then on again fixes the issue in 99.9% of instances.
Dude's gonna travel to another dimension
TheGamingDonut Set the speed to 2x.
You are without a doubt the absolute coolest nerd I’ve seen yet on CZcams. And your videos are so funny!
I'm always impressed with the mountain of knowledge you have. And it's very specific info too, like model numbers, pixel density measurements, native frame rates, etc. Heck, I struggle to remember more than six items at the grocery store without jotting it down.
Well done.
Also, I love that pic of Jay at 2:05.
I love how he asks fos donations to suport his family but has this setup
For real like Fuck that lol
"There are a lot of pros and cons with this"
Con #1: Price
thanks, did not realize 4 4 4, was needed for clear headache less text. Most important for me.... you did good. thanks again.
I'm not using all screens for gaming but You inspired me when I first watched this video 3 accounts ago...lmao I have a 65" 4k tv for the center and a 32" on either side of it. The main video card runs the center screen for gaming. A second cheapie card of the same series runs the two side screens. I did two cards because when you do this you get more power for gaming and you can still access the side screens during gaming to do whatever ya need.
32" 1080p IPS HDTV here, really happy with it, except that I'd love to go triple screen, but the model is old and no longer sold, and also has pretty thick bezels, any suggestions?
GodOfGamingBG stick with one display. Maybe get a ultrawide monitor?
+Nathan Chesshir I recently heard that Samsung is working on a new 49" quantum dot monitor with 32:9 aspect ratio and 3840x1080 resolution, from my calculations that would equal having two 27" 1080p monitors side by side with no bezel in the middle, I hope it would be good
GodOfGamingBG lol I still have a 7 year old 24inch monitor. Really need a upgrade
As a note , DPI scaling works quite well on Mac , its not perfect but it does work. Its crap on windows tho , s shame !
Agreed, unsure why Microsoft cannot get it right, each OS release and it just as bad...I was really hoping Windows 10 would fix it but its still horrible. OSX scales perfectly.
Mac is crap though, shame.
+MadFinnTech depends what you are after. I've worked in IT for 25sh years with Windows and for the last 7 I've owned a Mac for use at home, wouldn't go back.
This is a baller setup now but this guy had it in 2016!
I use a 40in 4K TV as my working station and I have a 2K screen next to it so I can have space to move other open programs. As well my 65 4K TV has a computer hooked up to as I don't use it for gaming but 4K images and web surfing looks great on it. If your happy with the screens you choose then you don't need to explain yourself to anyone as it's you at the end if your happy then that's all that matters.. ... SO Awesome setup :) I am in Canada as I seen on Boxing Day 4K Samsung TV 40 were on sale for $499 and 50in for about a $100 more.... I don't have enough room on my desk but love to buy two new 4K TV that matched and move this 40 4K to my bedroom and figure out how to hang them on the wall as my room is smaller then yours :) enjoy
1st... Damn, I waited to long... #QQ
You're not the first one anymore :p Better luck next time
i didn't know you were a french girl
id hope your first... you did post it! lulz
Barnacules doesn't those big TV's mess with your eyes while gaming?
to long or not to long
0:18 the monitor on the right has screen tearing.
I think I am gonna have to watch this again. I didn't understand most of what you said but feel I need to change the settings on my TV, lol.
So thanks to you, I went out and got a 58" 4k full array panel that supports 10 bit color and 60hz. I have found heaven. Use it as a AUX monitor and still have my NVidia surround setup. just switch back and forth by setting primary. Even has game mode that gets rid of all lag. Thanks :)
I see too much tearing when you turn quickly. see 22:10. that's pretty bad. Love the big screen real estate, but can't handle compromises like that esp when running SLI costs that bloody much. no gsync I take it for these TVs?
the tearing would be the same on any 3x4k screens as a function of the video cards output fps.
we've only had g-sync for the last 2 years so i guess all gaming was shit before that huh?
could actually just be in the video... strange shit happens when you film a screen. because that would be the worst tearing ive ever seen!
+Toms Tech I had tearing happen in most my sli multi monitor gaming sessions I think. Long before 4k but I was running a 2200x1080 type resolution that was pushing modern tech boundaries.
i myself play (older titles) on my 560ti sli PC on 3 1680x1050 monitors (for example bf 3 runs on high settings with 60-90fps) i think there isnt any... at least i dont see anything :D
@@tomstech4390 Bedtime for you, little Tommy.

Using a 40'' tv as a monitor since 2011 Now looking to upgrade.
This video answered all my questions about my transition to 4k :-)
I completely agree with this video. 4k needs large size to use, and using a TV is so much more immersive. I now run 2x 50" TVs as monitors and the picture is better and productivity is far far higher due to being able to use all 8.3m pixels on each screen.
I have no problem with my 27" 4k ;)
Nice video, Jerry.
hz?
?
+EposVox of the monitor
60hz. like probably 99% of worthwhile 4k monitors....
that's my problem with 4k monitors atm
9:10 what a bullshit , OLED for a PC today will be a mistake , OLED BURN IN , all your desktop icons will just burn in to the screen , about input lag on time of making this video input lag was about 40-60ms , this is not good at all , by end of 2016 LG did firmware update and 2016 OLED models get about 35-40ms input lag after update. models 2017 LG OLED will have 21ms input lag and this is nice but can be MUCH lower because pixel speed is less than 0.01ms , and hope they will fix this burn in problems.
My computers primary monitor is an LG 4K 60" smart TV. I use it more with my computer than as a TV. i have a HDMI switch box 4K and 8K to switch between PC and Tivo. I love it even though I'm not a gamer. I watched this video full screen.
I use a multi-screen setup at work. I have a pair of 23" AOC displays connected to a Lenovo T440s via. DisplayPort; They're not 4K but for productivity it's perfect. I use the internal screen of the laptop too and put things like Skype etc. to one side. If you're looking to do something similar folks; you will need to make sure you're using the Lenovo Ultra Dock, the lower-end docks don't have the connectors needed.

How have you not reached one million subscribers yet? Definitely well deserved.
I‘m from the future, he is on ca. 900,000 subs right now. The one million isn’t far away my friend!
I have an LG 50" 4K TV setup as my computer monitor which I use for 4K gaming and my GTX970 gets about 30-40fps in DOOM with ultra settings, cheers Barnacules!
I'm from the future, sorry to say but screens disappear about 15 years from now. :/ Everything's holo presence now. No physical screens. Heh.
Seriously though, awesome setup man! :)
+youtubasoarus virtual reality is the future. Just need a few more years to fine tune the technology. I'm convinced of this.
I am really hyped for virtual reality, but I personally don't think it is a replacement. There are a few downsides that simply cannot be ruled out by technology. Or well, to be more clear - that _I_ cannot see a solution for, heh.
Great video dude, thank you!
Just going to say you look really good!!! Looks like you've made great progress with weight loss. :) Good stuff.
Sword Art Online coming to real life! :D
"people who shouldn't do it" Poor peopl elike me xD
TVs are ideal for poor people they might just have to stop at one
I use a Samsung 62 inch 4K TV as my monitor with no issues. LOOKS GREAT
I don't mind DPI scaling. Higher DPI screens make text look like as if it were printed on paper and has more of a "pop" to it. 32" is a good size without running into major scaling issues. I run 150% scaling on my 32" 4K and everything looks super sharp while being bigger than the 27" monitors.
I use "my" 80 inch UHD TV as a monitor. (ok it isn`t mine, I don`t have 5k for a TV, but my dad uses it abour twice a year as a demo tv ^^
4:15 Eric cartman
Sony 4k HDR TV's make awsome monitors. My 55inch has 4 hdmi 2.0 ports and runs at 120hz for all 4 so its feels great. Plus they have pure android operating systems instead of an offbrand OS like most companies use.
Wow been looking online forever and couldnt figure it out. Watched your video for like two minutes and its fixed. Thanks.
"Nobody should ever need more than 320x200 amber & black." - Bill Gates
I remember green and black too. In fact when my office went to colour monitors we all suddenly got eyestrain and headaches. Early colour monitors were shite. I wanted the green and black ones back
The only problem is that you need five gtx1080s to run this thing.
Nvidia only supports 2-way SLI now officially so that won't happen :(
+Barnacules Nerdgasm you could dedicate multiple to physx, not necessarily sli. Would be a waste of $ tho. Are you going to get puget to build you another beast with 1080s?
I agree, it's a waste of money. I'm running a main 1080p 144hz monitor and a second 720p 60hz one. And it's running on a HD6970
+Barnacules Nerdgasm NVIDIA only support 2 way SLI. That means they only code there drivers to utilise 2 1080s. If a program, say Firestrike, is coded with it's own algorithms then all 3/4 1080s will be utilised. It's not that it doesn't work, it's that the official 1st party drivers aren't written to support 3/4 way SLI because of the past problems with it.
+Barnacules Nerdgasm you can still do 4way sli, you just have to apply for an enthusiast key
Awesome setup dude! I went for a 4K 50" Samsung J6800 last year and I'm NEVER going back to a small screen multi-monitor setup. One is enough for me though!
Thanks Barnacules. I was willing to buy a cheap Samsung 32" 4k monitor, without build in sound, but I find a Samsung 55" 4k TV (2020 model) for the same price. And you answered all my doubts
those tvs are outdated... HDR
John Dough not yet
HDR can be done by the computer itself actually. No need for TVs to have this functionality if you are going to plug-in a PC in there anyways... HDR in TVs is good for TVs that are used for traditional purposes.
HDR is 2 sided, you need the computer to output it AND the TV to be able to DISPLAY it, you can WATCH "HDR Content" on a NON-HDR display all day long and sure it will look better then standard content but without the HDR Display you aren't getting the full experience.
DanielRichards644 I completely agree there. But I am wondering about what type of HDR would it matter?
channelofstuff only for lighting. Pretty much all RGB textures are still 8-bit, and that's before compression.
CRTs are still superior.
I recently upgraded my setup when I built my first PC, first thing I looked for was TV's because of the price of monitors. Currently using a Toshiba 1080p 40" LED TV with Full RGB 4:4:4, I'm not complaining at all. I switch TV modes when not gaming to reduce the overall brightness and adjust the temp of the picture (Neat feature) very little to no eye strain. It's not 4K and not 50" but I sit just about 2' from it while gaming, 2.5-3ft when watching videos and love it. Oh and it only ran me $140
-I have 1 55" 4k TV hooked up for gaming and 2 24" 1080p monitors for audio production purposes. It's awesome. At the moment there is not really a very good reason to have a 4k TV besides hooking it up to a PC though. The new consoles may push 4k further but I don't think there will be widespread 4k content until 2018 or so.
jizzed in my pants
so did this dude never do the "lifestyle change" he talked about a year ago?
If I had the room for this, like my own mancave, I'd do this in a heartbeat. Very impressive!
One thing I just HAVE to say....... "Dude you are FRIGGIN AWESOME!" The review is great! I honestly would have gone and just purchased a 4k TV and tested, but its soooo much easier for you to spend your money and let me know ROFL! In all seriousness... thank you!
60hz 4k?
waste .
120hz > 60hz
My comment stands
[L]ou 4k g-gync>everything
[L]ou but this is 50' 4k 60hz
not 28' 4k 60hz
tell me what model 50' 4k tv got 120 hz with 4.4.4. now?
Not only that, 3 of them in surround, and plenty of space for food to chew on while gaming.
I've been using two 60inch 4k, totally agree...I do graphics / design as a living and with 60Hz you can't tell a lot of difference, and in some cases at all.
I currently have one 55" Curved Samsung 4K TV.
It's absolutely great for 4K 60FPS gaming.
I think I'm going to go ahead and add two more.
BTW, I recommend 4-way SLI Titan X's OC'd and water cooled, for the best gaming experience at 4K or higher.
These cards will reach 100% scaling at resolutions such as 4K, 5K, 7K, 8K, and even 10K.
And yes... You can achieve playable frame rates at even 10K, with medium settings and no AA (in most games).
i actually have a 40inch 1080p tv as my screen, though no choice of my own, its simply what i have to deal with it.
ive been wanting to get a real monitor for some time now but after this video i might actually stick with using a tv and get a 4k one. im used to all the cons or using a tv and the pros are pretty nice, so yeah i might just get a new tv.
I got a 65" 4K samsung TV on craigslist for a stupidly good deal and I use it as a computer monitor; it's really nice because I can sit further back and use a controller (basically use it as a 4K console), but when I sit nice and close to my desk it still looks great. I recently got a computer that can actually get solid 4K60 in games, so now the only thing that I wish for it was that it could push 120FPS (unfortunately it does not play nice with custom refresh rates).
Ohh i miss thise kind of videos Barnaclues!
that's a nice setup mate. I respect the guy with brain how uses it to sped the money wisely. that's two thumbs up bro
The best Tv monitor review so far
I know this is an older video, but I happened to go through this same exact "dilemma" about 4-6 weeks before this video was posted. All I have to say is.... I have NO IDEA why people are so keen to disable the interpolation, etc. on their 4k TVs when using them for gaming. If you do SOLID research beforehand, you can find TVs that have completely acceptable (and nowadays even good to great) input lag with all bells and whistles enabled (by which I mainly mean the Interpolation, although I personally find the "reality creation" on the Sony TVs pretty amazing as well at times). But besides that.... the fact that you talk about it like it's no big deal is just crazy.
On every specific Sony/Samsung 4K tv that both myself and my brother have purchased for gaming, not only does the interpolation, etc. make the experience way, WAY better, but the input lag is perfectly acceptable. And we (well, at least my brother) is just about the biggest "input lag nerd/nazi" ever. He's literally constantly bringing it up as a subject. (I'm just a former HIGHLY competitive PC gamer). But neither of us can understand why you would want to buy a TV like this and not enable those features for gaming, unless you don't have the money for the mid-to-higher-end models, in which case you may need to reconsider the entire thing because of the $$ PC hardware requirements (even 3.5 years after this video was made...).
I'm not saying everyone will find that it makes THAT much of a difference for them (which, fwiw, is usually like playing your games at 4k/90fps instead of 4k/60fps....for "free"....). I just feel like you're doing some folks a disservice by making it sound like it's not worth it and that going right into Game Mode (or as I like to say, "Lame Mode"...get it? ...haha...) is absolutely "the #1 first thing you should do once you hook it up". Do your RTINGS, Digital Foundry, AV forum research correctly before making the jump, people!
(Most important thing for me is that it's actually NATIVE 120hz - for my brother it's sub-80ms response outside of game mode). After all, almost everyone who's buying a large screen 4k TV for a PC monitor is also going to do at least SOME (or most likely, quite a bit of) movie watching as well...
What about TCL TVs?
I am also planning to buy a 43'/50" TCL P8 TV (4k 60Fps) mainly for PC gaming but I am concerned about the input lag in multiplayer games like warzone (I am not the best player in MP titles,just do 1-2 hours daily)
Should I go for TCL or Samsung/LG?
I've been using my old Toshiba 37" LCD as one for about 6 years, it's not the most recent model (about 9 years old), still a 1080p display (originally for my PS3) and other than the built in digital tuner going kaput after a year it's still working, yes there is a 1 1/2 inch black spot in the corner of the display but I adjust the display to compensate. It does what I want and really don't need a 4k system, yet........
I'm only using a 750Ti as it is and yes it is an old screen but until it goes kaboom properly I'll keep it going. I do notice a bit of screen burn (or whatever the LCD screens suffer from) but it's nothing really distracting.
But I'd still love something like your own set up
Awesome. I've been on a 65 inch LG 3D 4K TV as monitor for almost 3 years. Still love it. I finally picked up a new TV 43" 4K LG TV for my old gaming box, to use as productivity machine. You covered all the important parts! Nice job. Wish I had seen it sooner. I'd like to mention that you also need a very good (not most expensive) HDMI 2.0 cable. I bought a few different 15Ft ones, before I found one that worked flawlessly (Amazon Basics HDMI 2.0, was the winner). I wish TV manufacturers gave better specs (input lag).. I mean, it makes sense to, even for them!?
Watching black friday sales at frys and they just put up a similar 50", measured 50 inchs in on my desk and just realized how friggen big that is!!!
Great video, I have just one Samsung 40" 4K monitor and love it for many of the same reasons you speak about. Once you have these, anything smaller is no longer of interest. Yours is superb.
When I built my computer I had no GPU for a couple months (was waiting for more 1080's to come out at the time) and my i7-6700k ran 4K like total crap. But in Arma 3 which I played most at that time ran perfectly at medium/high settings at fullscreen 1080p with 400% sampling. Discovered it on accident but totally worked. Oddly, testing it right now, with my 1080, 1080p 400% sampling sucks. Maybe an update thing, maybe the GPU just doesn't like it, idk.
But you... yeah you there... got no GPU? Down your resolution and upscale, small haze, but I adjusted to it in a few hours.
at 4 min 16 mark seeing u driving the tank in that view on 3 tv’s..... made me audibly say DAMN! 😂😂
Dude yes, thank you....I needed someone smarter than me to get on this side of the line ive been trying to tell people lol...I use a 50" 4k Vizio 120hz native....IDK the exact response times and what not but I know I don't even need to utilize the "game mode" or turn anything down it handles every game I play. 1080px120, 1440 and 2160 are 60 but still fantastic.
I did have a 65" Samsung Quantum Dot Display but that one wasn't 120hz native and I did have to use game mode, didn't like it so I returned it.
Dude! Sooooooo informative! Thanks a bunch.
Any time 🙏
I like you, you are very charismatic, and enthusiatict. That's why I watched your videos.
i been using my 49inch 4k uhd tv for some time now as a monitor and its great
YES..... Keep sharing these videos. Monitor manufacturers need to start competing with TV manufacturers.... I know for a fact there is absolutely no reason why a 34 inch computer monitor with gsync/high refresh rates should cost 1,000 dollars outside of being the only one to exist. Until monitor manufacturers exhaust all tech , there's always going to be a monitor that has something the rest don't. Which means insanely high price tags. What I'm trying to say is.... It's not like monitor manufacturers are going to go bankrupt selling that same 34inch gaming monitor for something along the lines of "350 dollars" vs the 1,100 they're currently asking.
