My New Sexy Computer Monitor

Recommended Posts

Update: I cancelled the order and reordered it and a geforce 970 vid card from BH Photo. I saved 5% using google wallet. :)

 

 

Been looking for a month for a new monitor.  Wanted to get something on the bleeding edge.  Will be trying out 4K gaming for sh!ts and giggles.  When I saw this Black Friday Preorder sale.  It was a no brainer.  Basically $400 off.  The deal is going to be on many sites, Newegg, Amazon, Crutchfield to name a few.  I went with newegg to save on tax, yes I know, amazon is Zods thing but I like not paying tax more. :)

 

If you are wondering, yes it has HDMI 2.0 ports to do 4k@60hz

Yes they were. I had moved like a year ago and wanted to get a new TV. The one I was looking at was around $4,000.

That's not what I meant. I know they were for sale at $4,000, but nobody was buying them. If they were, they wouldn't be $600 now.

I can put a $50,000 price tag on my old pickup. Doesn't really mean much.

I've never seen one in person but can someone enlighten me as to why 4k is?

A better resolution than 1080p.

90% of content isn't even available in 4k yet, and won't be anytime soon.

Unless you are within 2-3ft of the screen and have 20/20 vision or better, your eyes cannot detect a difference between 1080p and 4k.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
