Decibel dB Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Good tips here :thumbup: Anyone tried 3840x2160 resolution with DisplayPort on one AMD 7970? I'm about to buy a Samsung 28" 4K LED, product 28D590D and one Samsung 27" LED, product S27C650D as a side screen (1920x1080). I have a r9 295x2 and I run DCS at 4K (3840x2160) I average 25 FPS with medium graphic settings with DCS while all my other sim are at High or max and 60+ FPS. I am looking forward for EDGE to be able to dogfight because of low FPS. I am not sure your card will do better :(
gdx65 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Did further investigation, monitor's reviews, etc...and made a typical purchasing evaluation list in excel in order to have an overview of the monitors I am going to evaluate. Easier to make a decision. The list includes only IPS (VA and similar) monitors, 24"/27" (for triple setup) and 34" single monitor setup. I only listed the IPS/VA monitors that, according to reviews, have the best response time and a good overall screen. I have nearly decided to go for a curved 34" monitor as price vs. a triple 24"/27" setup is almost there. A triple setup with curved 27" is very tempting.... I did not include TN gaming monitors (122/144Hz, G-Sync, etc.). The brands I selected are DELL, LG, AOC, EIZO, Philips, Samsung. Did not have time to look a BenQ nor ASUS for the moment. General: It looks like DELL has well tuned IPS monitors especially the Ultrasharp series starting with U+4numbers+M or H. They all use LG IPS panels but the driving electronics is better tuned that LG's owns screens. The built quality is also superior to LG owns...including quality control and guarantee (you can purchase up to 4yrs Dell guaranty for a good price). AOC also uses the same LG panels as Dell and LG own monitors. Samsung uses own VA panels. Philips uses TP Vision panels (A Philips OEM partner) and EIZO uses VA panels from Sharp. To the monitors: AOC: - 34" (Flat) u3477Pqu DELL: - Ultra Sharp U2412M - Ultra Sharp U2414M - Ultra Sharp U2414H - Ultra Sharp U2415 - Ultra Sharp U2415H - Curved Ultra Sharp U3415W EIZO: - Foris FG2421-BK (this one has an excellent VA panel with Turbo Boost 120/240Hz). The only thumb down is the fixed stand not supporting a VESA mounting kit for a multi monitor setup... - Foris FS2434 (This is a newer monitor from 2014 with IPS panel this time(60HZ). Very nice ultra-slim frames very good for a triple setup. Not as fast as the previous model FG2421. And yes it supports VESA. LG: - 34" (Flat) 34UM65 (Same panel as AOC and DELL) - 34" Curved 34UC87 (this one has a better stand than the Curved 34UC97) Phillips: - 40" 4K LED BDM4065UC/00 (I mentioned this one earlier) I tried it and seems a really nice monitor and quite fast indeed...The only negative point is the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) used here...probably due to a quick marketing decision to come up with such type of product and built with an off the shelf panel from TP Vision (Panel type TP VisionTPT400LA-K1QS1.N Rev: SC1A.). I expect better monitors from Phillips coming during next year. Anyway something to consider as the image is very good as well. - 34" BDM3470UP (did not find reviews yet). SAMSUNG: - Curved S27D590C (for a triple monitor setup?) - Curved S34E790C Flat or curved: People's opinion is at 50/50% split for what i read in various forums.. Personally I was the flat type but after some evaluations done at a large electronics store I think I have shifted my opinion to the curved side... With the curved monitor, if only one person is using it, I think it is a really good choice. Looked at 34" monitors and a flat panels makes you shift the vision left and right, depending how far you are going to sit from it. With a curved monitor it really surround your vision nicely. I was skeptic at first. You have to give it a try several times. I wil never buy a curved large TV as it will be uncomfortable for large audience (family) required to sit all near the magic spot.... Conclusions: My near final decision was to go for an AOC 34" (Flat) u3477Pqu or an LG 34" (Flat) 34UM65 as they are in stock now at my location. Then I suddenly hold the fire as I saw that DELL is coming with the new Curved Ultra Sharp U3415W (probably the LG IPS screen), LG has presented the Curved 34UC87 and Samsung the Curved S34E790C all three will be available mid january/february at my location, thus worth waiting for to test them and read some reviews, not available right now. For the 34" option I have the feeling I may go for the DELL Curved Ultra Sharp U3415W (Built quality, guarantee and support). For the 24/27" triple setup option the one of the EIZO Foris series or the SAMSUNG Curved S27D590C will do the job. Edited January 3, 2015 by gdx65 added text GDX65, [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
