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.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
