Curved Monitors.

Hi Peter,

The idea is that the pixels are all the same distance from your eyes.

I personally do not like them as they look weird and unnatural
to me. But it is really whatever floats your boat. Find
a friend or a store front with one and see if it synergies
with you. In other words, try before you buy or you may be
really unhappy with the result.

They would be a nuisance for multiple monitors.

HTH,

That's a lot of Megabytes, but it still doesn't look very sharp.

it's only 5.5 megabytes, which is not much, although you probably meant
megapixels (not the same thing), which is 8.3 mp and also not much
(cellphone cameras are higher), neither of which matter unless you
downloaded the image.

You might want to also consider having two (or more) monitors. I use
two 24" monitors and they are arranged side by side at a slight angle
to each other, so it's *sort of* like a single curved monitor.

+1, but four is even better - I run four 27in screens off two Nvidia
GTX 750Ti cards. Do lose track of where the mouse is sometimes,
though.

+1.Â* Two monitors is definitely the way to go.
Everyone at the office has (2) 24" flat monitors.
A few people also have a 19" for a third monitor.

I had this at one point years ago, but moved away from it as I didn't
like having the bezels in the middle of my 'natural' view. I just go for
one big screen (27"-30") + a 13" laptop now.

I guess you must have pretty thin bezels. Otherwise it would drive me nuts.

That makes sense if you chose to stretch your desktop across the two
displays. My choice is to treat each display as a discrete desktop, so
on the left I have a display that can show any application(s) that I
drag there, or live TV or Roku if I switch inputs, then in the middle I
have the main desktop that contains the Windows start menu and taskbar,
and finally on the right I have a display that can show any application
that I drag there, although 99% of the time I use the right display
full-screen to show the desktop of another PC that runs headless, using
RDP. So for me, bezels are actually a plus, as they clearly mark the
bounds of each area.

Did you "save as original image" ?

There's a button at the top of the postimg web page,
to download the original image.

That particular image is

H004-C006-1211-TB-8-0000114.jpg

5,495,337 bytes 3840x2160

The original media is 8192 x 4320. AFAIK, the media is also
10 bit, whereas the JPG made from it is 8 bit. Cutting a JPG from
that gives:

H004_C006_1211TB_W7_2.0000114.exr.jpg

42,233,792 bytes (one fifth of the 212,409,029 byte .exr file)

If I put the two images next to one another, the
8192 wide one looks a bit better. This image is only
469,469 bytes and the quality setting is 100%.

https://i.postimg.cc/6QBnKWJg/compare.jpg

My tool flow doesn't leave a lot of room for things
like "sharpening", which could be used to make it
look a bit better. I don't know how many tools here,
would tolerate images that big.

Once the video is converted, the datarate is back around
1MB/sec or so. Which is a huge compression ratio compared
to how the camera (raw) file stores it (the 1.4GB thing).

It seems they pulled a fast one on me :-)

CODEC=DX50 NAME=DivX 5.x/6.x

C006.mp4 7,860,860 bytes (153 frames or so)

3840x2160 25FPS

I would need a really big monitor or TV set, to discover
just how badly the content has been ruined. It looks
pretty good on my small screen.

When I tried a free movie editor, and asked to save that
out, the MP4 file from that behaved like crap. That little
8MB movie is actually playable (probably not full frame rate,
but pretty close).

I paired the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with a Samsung 32" 2K gaming monitor with
no problems. The monitor had problems and I got a refund and then purchased
an ASUS XG32G 2K 32" and again no problems. The NVIDIA card had zilch
problems and they even have a new build every other day!

Hi Peter,

Just being nosey. What do you settle on?

I vote "skate board park".

Dell U4919DW Ultrawide Monitor 5120 x 1440 dual QHD $1700 (shipping Q4 2018)

The reviewer says he has to "shift a bit" to
see out to the very edges. Even though it's IPS.
I'm sure when you're sitting facing one edge of the
monitor, the other side of the monitor is obscured
by a "distant mist".

*******

But it could be a lot cheaper to go with the Eyefinity approach.
Three identical smaller monitors. They make units that are
"bezel-less" which really means the bezel went from 0.6"
on the side to 0.2" instead. And you know the person building
this was on a budget, because there's a can of Dr.Pepper on
the right hand side of the photo :-)

https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/p...1461c4 cc8327

There was a company making a "Left" monitor and a "Right" monitor,
so the seam in the middle would be almost nonexistent. That's
about as close as you can get without buying a skate board park one.

I think I'll just go for a wider flat screen
