My New Sexy Computer Monitor

[chknwing]

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

Unbelievable prices. These things were originally selling for like $4,000 when they were first released.

Awesome, makes my Sammy 23 look puny.

And yeah, Newegg is the bomb but of course in Cali, Tax.

No they weren't. Which is why they're so much cheaper now.

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.
