EVE General Discussion

No sadly this setup isnt 4k. Right now my 30" are 1360 x 768, they do support 1920 x 1080 but I run 3x screen on 1 GTX 570 that (first) should not be able to do triple monitor. (Read everywhere, they should support only 2 monitor) My third monitor is plug via a usb 3 to hdmi link, but the GeForces still take it and render on all screen.

When I upgrade the 30" to 1920 x 1080, the picutre is obviously quite crisp, but nothing compare to the 2560 x 1600 I tested.

As for the 55", it is 1920 x 1080 and indeed, a little bit more blurry but with all the picture ajustement option, i honestly find it quite sharp.

Again, until I can afford the 4k version. That will change the game big time. At those resolution, it's the OS font and configuration that is not ready for such screen. Did you saw windows 8 on 4k resolution?

Without heading off into research land and with a sense that I will be corrected. 1920x1080 is half (roughly) the pixels of 2560x1600. That means that 30" monitors cant use a standard DVI port as they don't have sufficient bandwidth so what tends (tended) to be the case is that a graphics card came with one dual link capable DVI port and one standard DVI port. That meant that a card had (in theory) sufficient bandwidth for three 1920x1080 displays - I never looked into whether it was possible to access that potential.

Nothing wrong with playing on TV if you fell comfortable, got enough fps, sharp scren and resolotiun.
In future i plan to play on ultra wide lcd, 21:9 ratio somthing betwen 27-32'

Stuf on big screns looks cool, but when we talking about long therm gaming, middle size scren are best for playing, having scren monster close to eyes is bad idea, you lose focus and everything looks to big, even while using 24' monitor somtime i neeed to push it back because if to close thing looks so big and gaming is less efficient.

Btw playing on 20x " size monitor from distance like 1m give same visual expirence - effect like using big scrren monster waching form few meters away.

Thanks!



Gooooooood...... The only thing missing is the capitain chair in the middle of that room!

No TV; Asus PA246Q 24", my alt is on the second monitor: a 22" LCD Asus

At the moment I'm using a single 32 inch 1920x1080 60 Hz CCFL Backlit LCD TV through HDMI, with a Radeon 7850.

I game on the couch, sat next to the Mrs, who also PC games from the couch.

Despite upping the font sizes, GUI scale and so on, the text is a bit small, and I'm unwilling to drop the resolution. I'm thinking about either getting a bigger TV, or maybe getting a monitor and somehow mounting that pretty close.

I have a desk I could sit at with a 1080P monitor, but what can I say - that would mean moving further away from my lady - she would be unwilling to accept such a compromise! My ideal/realistic setup would be triple 1080P monitors at a close enough distance, but I'm unsure how I'd feel about the bezels.

Normally on the computer screen but occasionally on the TV if I'm in the mood for sitting in front of the big screen.

It doesn't render as well but I basically become a starship captain a little bit more so,.... yeah :)

A couch with recliner, cordless mice, keyboard and headset. 47" LG HDTV. The computer is not in the same room actually.

Doing fine... the worst was getting use to the small character but it's mostly gone now.

Wouldn't change back.

I play on a monitor because playing on a large TV sucks.

low resolution + large screen area = huge pixels. TVs have minimum viewing distances because the pixel sizes are so large.


I'd rather play high resolution on a smaller screen area so everything is sharper.

EDIT : I don't like playing stretched across screens because the bezels annoy the poop out of me.

As noted before CRT was superior in those days..



Hell in my day CGA was a luxury with most running variations of monochrome. I had an all in one monochrome green 8086 that was the bomb diggity decades before the imac popularized the all in one.
