Want a nice 4k screen

Lower other settings instead, retard. Also they look just as blurry as they would in full resolution on a screen with lower resolution.

or better yet 1200p

There are 4k ips monitors available on amazon for 300 dollars
you might want to stick to 1080p then
eh 1440p is ok imo. 4k however is out of reach for most gamers currently

1050ti is good enough to handle everything except gaming at 4k tho. I spend 80% of my computer time on not gaming so a 4k screen would make sense. If only i could game on it without blurriness.

If my Razer laptop from a few years ago can play games at 3200x1920 then your PC should be able to do 4k.
Maybe a few months working instead of gaming and buy a new video card.
Computers are pretty much the cheapest toys you can get.
A nice pc is like $5k
Compare that to the price of some other things people buy for entertainment:
RVs
Jet skis
Motorcycles
Firearms
Vacations
Hookers
Drugs
Sex change surgery

Computers are basically the best form of entertainment because they are low cost high value and double as a professional tool. Try getting your hookers to file taxes for you, good luck. Try getting work done on drugs, thought not. Try having a business meeting on a jet ski, fat chance. Computers are superior. Get a job and buy a better computer you lazy son of a bitch

You said nice 4K, not just 4K. Those IPS ones on amazon are 8bit + A-FRC, not true 10bit, have no HDR, and normally have sub 100% sRGB coverage. Whether beyond sRGB coverage or HDR matters more to you than the other depends on what you're going to with it, but they're not exactly nice 4K. They're just bog standard 4K.

1080p on your 4k screen

not quite, 1050 ti can't handle 1080p ultra very well in games released within the past 1-2 years nor 1440p

...

I play on 1360*768 right now. Everything works at 60 fps on ultra and shadows on high.

that's 720p basically so of course it works well
Found one for under 600 dollars that checks all your boxes

amazon.com/ViewSonic-VP2780-4K-Processing-Corrections-Photography/dp/B00SHZSXVI/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1549788557&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=4k ips 10 bit&psc=1

While it does have 100% sRGB coverage, it doesn't have HDR
There are ones for sub 1K USD though which do have shitty not proper HDR (HDR-400) but 95% DCI-P3/100% Rec. 709
I forgot to convert in my head and was thinking sub 1K AUD aka 700 USD. The only one which fits that, as far as I know, is the BenQ EW3270U

My point was more: How can he say he can afford a nice 4K monitor, but can't afford anything more than a 1050ti?

Are you me. I had this exact same realization today.

>1280x1020 is the ideal resolution.
Wrong. 1366x768

>16:9 garbage
Just kill yourself if you actually think that.

Close, it's 1:4, but you are correct it is the best lower aspect ratio for 4k monitors.

>$4k
I payed $489 USD for my 32in 3840x2160/60hz/5ms monitor.

IPS is the incorrect choice at

VA is correct choice.

I meant linearly, 1 pixel does go to 4 (2x2) but yeah, I meant linear direction since that's what you care about. ie 1:3 while being an integer ratio for the area of the pixels would give a noninteger linear scaling and thus rape shit

But yes, afaik 1080p on 4K monitors you just have to deal with the fact that 4K monitors tend to be huge and thus the PPI sucks. Given the IEEE's findings on sensations of realness beyond 1 pixel/arcsec pixel densities, I'd probably waim for 2 pixels/arcsec with 4K for realness while still having retina 1 pixel/arcsec when going 1080p.Or just two sitting positions.

>millions of people use it
>it's bad anyways
lol. You don't think that right? If it would be that bad no one would use it, faggot.

millions of people have iphones too.

Millions of people use Windows, but its still shit.

>I meant linearly, 1 pixel does go to 4 (2x2) but yeah, I meant linear direction since that's what you care about. ie 1:3 while being an integer ratio for the area of the pixels would give a noninteger linear scaling and thus rape shit
...what?
1920 = 2k
2560 = 3k
3840 = 4k
I takes 4x 1920x1080 to make 3840x2160. 1:4 ratio. 2x1920 2x1080

Does 1k look good on a 2k screen?

> What do?
Stop caring about it.

>1920 = 2k

Attached: 1548810855169.png (1000x432, 165K)

I play fullhd wow on 4k screen, it looks the same as on 1920. But it looks great with 4k res, so i want new GPU.

1k is 1280x720 so yes, that would like fine.

1920x1200 is the maximum you should get. I mean, anything above 1080p is a fucking meme and a waste of money.

>1920 = 2k

They ain't bad (1000$ price is highend, high quality hardware)
It just works

>It just works
Yeah, works you.

god isn't real

"2K resolution is a generic term for display devices or content having horizontal resolution of approximately 2,000 pixels."
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution
Consider soduku

Literally kill yourselves for wasting dubs and trips on these subhuman IQ posts.

Just because 1080p can be trivially scaled to 4K in theory doesn't mean that's what the screen's built-in scaling algorithm will actually do.

Buy a 2080ti along with your 4k screen or play in windows and stick to your normal resolution but that would be redundant.

>1050ti
>4k
Just stick to 720p.

>Occasionally,1080p (Full HD or FHD)has been included into the 2K resolution definition. Although 1920x1080 could be considered as having a horizontal resolution of approximately 2,000 pixels, most media, including web content and books on video production, cinema references and definitions, define 1080p and 2K resolutions as separate definitions and not the same.
Fuck off, retard.

Just buy the XB271HU it's ideal in all aspects

Imagine actually believing this.

games and movies are fine at 1280x720

4k is overkill.

1080p and above is only useful for desktops.

Single dimension scaling is 2, area is 4
You literally said 2x1920 and 2x1080 which is what i meant, a linear scaling of 2, an area (aka square) scaling of 4. The single dimension linear scaling of 1080p to 4K is 2, which is an integer value and why it theoretically scales perfectly. You use linear since all integer values will scale cleanly then.
Area values are only clean if their square root is an integer, hence why you normally talk in terms of linear scaling with this shit rather than the area scaling.

This is very true. I like to pretend that the people doing this shit are mildly competent though.

Just use lower resolution. Make sure your 4k screen isn't large

4k for gaming - just fuck off, not worth it

but 4k for anything? wondering if its any good?
1080p 24" and i can't see single pixels from 0.6m away

whats the point in a higher resolution? doesn't text get too small (must be adjusted)?

some well hung user pls explain

Attached: 2df32df900.jpg (364x364, 41K)

Sensation of realness scales relatively well to 2 pixels per arcsec, but has pretty hard diminishing returns after (the first diminishing returns barrier being 1 p/arcsec).

thank you well hung user, you have done me a great wisdom

so it won't matter when the distance is right like a VR screen right in front of them tomatoes

The human eye can't see more than 720p@24Hz anyway

4k for monitors doesn't make sense.
4k for a 75 inch TV makes sense.

The idea of high scaled technology is that we shouldn't see the pixels, and you will do that when looking straight at a monitor that is 1 meter from you.
It is not worth it.
Buy yourself a 2560x1440 monitor, and save your money for something else.

Buy a video card good enough to run games at native 4k

>1080p 24" and i can't see single pixels from 0.6m away
Get your eyes checked.

Doesn’t make sense for the tv either unless you’re sitting 3 feet away and have perfect vision

The dpi difference is much more obvious when looking at a GUI than when watching a movie. 4K actually makes more sense for monitors than for TVs (that is not to say it makes no sense for TVs).

>4k for gaming
better get 144 or 120hz instead of 4k

>whats the point in a higher resolution? doesn't text get too small (must be adjusted)?
just use a bigger font? the fonts will be twice as smooth going from 1080 to 4k. no matter which font size.
also 24" is probably not the size you'd buy a 4k monitor for. I can very much see the difference between 27" 1080 and 28" 4k.

>What do?
Enjoy spending thousands of dollars for hardware you'll need to cater to the miniscule amount of games that actually support 4K. Also:

You could save money and build a pc that can handle 4k gaming.

What DE/WM are you using? I like i3 but I can't see shit at 4k 28" and xrandr dpi doesn't do anything

Just buy a better graphics card then. Why the fuck is everyone here so poor?

Use an actual modern DE if you want scaling to work. Gnome, cinnamon, deepin, or kde plasma

Why would games have to support 4k? That doesn't make sense

I use i3 with no scaling (4K 27"). I increased i3's and the terminal's font size and downloaded a plugin for firefox that automatically sets the zoom to 150% on every page.

>Why would games have to support 4k?
I don't really care, but if you should pour thousands of dollars on something it definitely shouldn't be on games.

Still doesn't answer why you said games have to support 4k. Any game made in the past 15 years will let you crank the resolution up to 4k and there'll be no issues

Go back to /v/

>also 24" is probably not the size you'd buy a 4k monitor for
But that is the perfect size for 4k

Yeah right

Were you saying this when HD ready was transitioning to 1080p?

I can imagine someone spending 5k on a pc for professional use like rendering or something else that requires high specs. But most work is easily accomplished on a 300 dollar laptop though. And if bang for buck is one of your leading arguments, it gets hard to justify additional spending after you spend enough for a mid/high range build.

My point is that, to me, it would make more sense to spend 1k on a pc and the other 4k on
