Asus will release this beast soon, it's a 43" 4k pc monitor. Obviously in 4k things will look godlike although with any GPU about 2070-Super and below it will lag
But... What would using this but running some things in 1440p or 1080p (due to lack of 4k support, GPU weakness) look like? I hear bad things about downscaled resolutions on 4k displays especially set 2D content, like 2D game remasters like Age of Empires 2 HD/Baldurs Gate HD
Imagine about a 1.5 meter or 4.5 to 5.5 feet rough distance
Lads with big 4k monitors that have experienced 1080p/1440p on one chime in
I use mine at about 3 feet. More than that and you need GUI scaling to read text.
Owen Campbell
It's a 4:1 relation, and the 'extra' pixels are filler pixels that match for each true color pixel. For 1440p the problem will be that you cannot get an even ratio between pixels.
Bentley Powell
are you alluding to 4:2:0 chroma sub sampling on blurays?
Or are you alluding to true 4k media being rare, and most things are still just 1080p?

>43" pc monitor What's this for? The elderly that can't see very well? Who the fuck wants a monitor the size of a living room tv 2 feet from their face?
Joshua Ortiz
The PPI is similar to a 21" 1080p monitor.
So unless you use GUI scaling, it wont help old people.
In fact, that's WHY you need to use it at ~2.5-3.5 feet.
Jaxson Myers
Whoever buys this will be regreting it these "big screen" tv cause seizures
Isaac Diaz
lol what?
Unless you're prone to seizures you're not just gonna suddenly develop a seizure condition just from using a monitor of a certain size or technology.

>The PPI is similar to a 21" 1080p monitor. so.. bad?
William Young
...smaller screen with higher res is GOOD.
21" 1080p is sharper than a 24" 1080p for example.
~40" is about as small as you can get with 4k at a normal desktop viewing distance and still keep 100% GUI scale.
43" 4k is ~103 PPI 27" 1440p is ~109 PPI 24" 1080p is ~92 PPI 21" 1080p is ~105 PPI
Anything above ~115 PPI requires GUI scaling at normal desktop viewing distances.
Anything under ~90 PPI looks like ass at normal desktop viewing distances.
Jack Powell
>he wants 100% scaling 200+ppi or bust
Caleb Torres
Meh, unless you're doing fine detail art or some similar tasks, it generally isn't hugely noticeable to me.
i've used 200+ PPI displays, but I don't own one because I don't see the benefit in my uses.
smoother text isn't worth the other trade offs.
Adrian Evans
>smoother text isn't worth the other trade offs it most definitely is, 200+ppi with 200% scaling is fucking god-tier. I literally dont use my desktop anymore because it looks like turds.
Leo Morgan
How the fuck is 43" not too large?
Logan Miller
lmao fuck off, i'd rather have normal standard PPI and 3 or 4 windows open with information than have a tiny screen with smooth text of a single window worth of content.
Connor Stewart
1080p will look great 1440p won't 720p won't as long as you're integer scaling you'll be fine
Brody Ross
Because you've never used one.
Dell has a 43" LG has a 43" Acer has a 43" Phillips has two 43" monitors
About time asus launches one.
Eli Cooper
Consider yourself one in a billion if you ditched a desktop monitor to stare at a mobile because of text sharpness. That's a level of autism unique to you.
Oh I read that wrong, I thought you went full retard and stopped using monitors.
Still, I've never met someone who programs at a 13,5" and thinks it better, and I don't see why sharpness would matter at all, it makes zero difference. Everyone at work and other offices I have seen prefers as big as possible monitors with high resolution for my screen real estate. I'd honestly quit work if I had to program on a tiny 13,5" screen, that can't be very productive.
Carter Miller
for more*
Bentley Evans
yea obviously bigger with even higher resolution would be better, this is just what I use at home. Im kind of eying those new 34" 5120x2160 (21:9) monitors.
Dominic Powell
>34" 5120x2160p >only 163 PPI
oof
Ethan Jenkins
its not ideal but better than the default ~100
Grayson Barnes
24" 4k monitors are goat
Alexander Turner
I have a 1440p 144hz gaming monitor, and i'd rather have a monitor that has similar pixel density.
43" 4k is 103ppi while 27" 1440p is 109ppi. only ~6ppi difference aint bad at all.
Even if you GUI scale so text size is the same on both panels, it would be pretty jarring visually to switch between high PPI and low PPI.
Jose James
No, if you fullscreen a 1080p youtube vid, was asking what it does with the unused pixels
Josiah Harris
32" is peak performance
Jaxon Anderson
I use a 40" 1080p plasma for the last 10 years
Evan Watson
I can't find any good ones
Well I'm upgrading a desktop so cant do OLED or Plasma due to burn in.
Adrian Gonzalez
>Wants to run a monitor at non-native resolution Jesus fucking christ you retard.
Isaiah Sullivan
AMD and Nvidia's new sharpening technologies should let upscaling 1080 or 1440 look a lot better at 4k at least.
