Jim Kallinen Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 Been using a 1080p TV for a monitor the past few years and decided since I have a computer capable of 4K its timeto see it. But my old monitor was 42" and now my new one will onl;y be 32" But with 4 times the res of my old 1080p http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=210-ACBL Quote

alpilotx Posted October 16, 2014 Report Posted October 16, 2014 I went for a "middle ground": BenQ BL3200PT It has 32" and "only" 2560x1440 ... but this way, I have a bit more headroom for FPS (as screen resolution strains the GPU too - and with my usually maxed out settings, this seemed to be the right balance ... and it seems to fit this bill nicely) 1 Quote
Jim Kallinen Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Posted October 16, 2014 Thanks guys, but had already looked at those options when I was searching for a 4k monitor. Order was placed and shipping # alreadyarrived. Should have it by Thursday next week. Now to figure out what to do with my old wall mounted 42" monitor. Turn it back into a TVlike it was suppose to be. Already have 5 of them. Guess I will donate it to my other buildings social room. Get rid of that old dinosaur ofa TV that is in there. Going to have to clean up my desk to make this work, need a new home for my printer now to. Quote
Jim Kallinen Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Posted October 16, 2014 Unreal, just checked my tracking # and it will be here tomorrow in time for my annual meeting with my X-Plane buddy`s. Quote

Jim Kallinen Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Posted October 17, 2014 Just checked again, now its Saturday. Still works out great. Quote
Jim Kallinen Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Posted October 21, 2014 Lessons learned with 4k gaming with Win7. Since the screen size is running at 3840x2160 makeslooking at the windows screen difficult at best when the icons are so small. Win7 has this nicepersonalization you can change this from say normal, meaning what you get to 125% and 150%. I setit up at 150% and can final see the icons. And able to work with menus and such. But when you saywant to run ROF or X-Plane 10, you must return the windows sizing to default or your ROF will crashand X-Plane you loose menu function control. Took 3 days to get this all figured out. But so farlike in 4k on the Computer is beyond AWESOME. Quote
rocketmandlgc Posted October 21, 2014 Report Posted October 21, 2014 What field of view are you setting in XP with a 4k monitor? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
Jim Kallinen Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) What field of view are you setting in XP with a 4k monitor?Sent from my iPad using TapatalkSame as my 4k monitor, I use the default field of view. Windows does not give up the visual change easy. Edited October 21, 2014 by Jim Kallinen Quote
Jim Kallinen Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Posted October 29, 2014 Well this just sucks, found a dead pixal mid screen lower right of center. Sent in my service tag and await Dell to send out my packing slip to send back andget a new one. Thought it might be dirty but scrolling though web sites with white back grounds proved it was a dead pixal, really noticible on a 4k monitor. Quote

FloB Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 What about AA in HDR mode with a 4k monitor?I assume even a highend GPU can't use more than FXAA+2xSSAA without dropping FPS under 30?What are you guys using? Flo Quote
nbonini Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 If you have a 4k monitor that can handle HDR, more power to ya! I have been playing with my 4k monitor for about 6 months now and I turn off AA when running at 2160p. I'd like to know what ppl are using for 4k in X-plane as well. I tend to fly in 1080 when using x-plane as is performs much better on my nVidia GTX 770. In 1080 is the only time I turn AA back on and usually it is only 4x. I'm considering a 980 Ti, but I want to use the new SkyMaxx Pro weather with it. I tend to use a lot of scenery as well. nbonini Quote
