Both the pixel density and refresh rate, coupled with a backlight onto the wall, reduce the eye strain so much. I can't imagine sitting a foot away from a TV.
- requires lots of wasted processing power - hard to see without messing with fonts (again, more processing power) - have to zoom in to work with pixel precision - not many programs/games actually support 4K resolution - older games look terrible - only good for LOOKING at photos, rarely actually editing (again, because of constant zooming) - probably good for 4K movies, but 4K BDs are almost impossible to watch on a PCs I'd move to 2K CRT.
I'm still waiting for one who doesn't have a fan in it.
Which o e do you have?
Some monitors have fans? That's news to me, I've never had a monitor that did. Didn't know they were common enough to make it an explicit deal breaker.
The first displays were just super expensive and the second generation consumer gamer displays have fans in it.
I also was surprised that a display can have a fan but was a no go for me as displays normally live very long.
I will have a look at yours and the LG one :-)
No fan, includes a wall backlight. Surprisingly cheap for a G-Sync 4k @ 144Hz - $699 not on sale.
